Jason Forever
Crystal Lake: The Complete History of Friday The 13th is a excellent documentary of the whole history of the Friday The 13th franchise. Going through each one of them, learn how their got made, interviews with cast memebers, the history of them and more. This is the first horror documentary that i watched and what a excellent start. I love the Friday The 13th franchise, and so watching a documentary about the whole franchise with cast members and learn more about each movies production was intresting. My favorite one is the third one, cause thats where Jason first wears his Hockey Mask and its in 3D and also that theme song. Kane Hodder is my favorite Jason and just wish he was in Freddy vs. Jason. Anways if you love the Friday The 13th franchise and want to learn more about the productions of each one of them, how their got made, the cast interviews and more than you will love this documentary.

Yet another cracker from Jane Casey in her excellent Maeve Kerrigan series that never gets stale and whilst this may be book 10 in the series, I think you could just about get away with it as a standalone but I really would recommend you read the rest of the books if only because they are all excellent!

The Close is yet another gripping read with the right mix of intrigue and action, red herrings and plot twists. Being a fan of Maeve and Josh, I loved that they were working undercover together acting as a couple and it really brought a different dimension and added tension to the story and kept my grubby little eyes reading as fast as they possibly could.

Highly recommended series and I can't wait for the next and many thanks to HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of The Close.

I have read and enjoyed one of Shari's previous books, The Stolen Twins, but this is entirely different but no less enjoyable.

This is a twisty and disturbing thriller that had me hooked from the first to the last word. Told from the perspectives of three very different women who all live within the same area but whose story is the one to believe?

Written at a good pace, with excellent characters, excellent twists and a fantastic narrator that only adds to the story, this is a great book that I would recommend to others who enjoy this genre. I do, however, have to say that there were times where I thought it was a little over the top but I just went with it because if you can't suspend reality in fiction, when can you?

My thanks go to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of The Homemaker.
  
Bates Motel  - Season 1
Bates Motel - Season 1
2013 | Drama
Brilliant "before he was a psycho" alternative view of the Norman Bates story. This series sees the family move to a town with something of a corrupt underbelly. The series doesn't look to explore Norman's "tendencies" as much as I might have expected, but the rest of the peripheral action makes it an excellent standalone series without Norman in it!
We start to see something of the psycho emerge towards the end of the series.

Jerry Goldsmith returns for another excellent score
It's never boring
Shatner takes the director's chair and his ego often gets the best of him. (2 more)
Storyline is confused and often overindulgent
Comedy often falls flat
It's... something
While I would say it's more interesting than it's reputation it's not a good movie. It very much feels like a vanity project by Shatner and the story suffers for it.

Excellent
I loved this series! The way the author described Panem and the district's was full of detail and really sucked you into that world. Katniss was a girl that I could relate to(whose got time to think about guys when your trying to survive). Expertly told and made me want to devour the next book in the series.

Another John Green Bestseller
Looking for Alaska was an excellent book that grabbed my attention so much that I finished it in a day! This book gave me so many emotions; I was on a feel roller coaster until the very end. My favourite character was Alaska. Like all John Green books, I have read this is a fantastic read, I would recommend to many. Although, heads up the almost end broke my heart.

For fans of the Morse franchise, a lovely complement
I must admit I teared up a little bit when young Morse looked at himself in the rear view mirror and saw old Morse looking back at him. It's lovely to see the background to one of our beloved TV characters, to see the story start to build. The attention to 1960s detail is very good, and most of the acting is excellent.

Marisa Tomei
Masterpiece of dispair
This film starts at a low and struggles throughout to dig its way out. Its not without hope but we only seen the potential in a distant glimmer before its snatched away. Mickey Rourke is amazing and Tomei achieves in the supporting role. Fair play to the Screenwriter (Siegel) and the director who have produced this excellent and thoughtful film. Simple and not far off perfect.

I was lucky enough to get this as a free e-book download from Amazon - not sure how I managed that but I'm not one for complaining ;)

Despite some harrowing descriptions of the Nazi atrocities, I thought this a well written book with excellent characters and it kept me interested to the end. An exiting and page-turning read and I will be interested to see how the film turns out - if it is made.
