Just finished watching brilliant movie great performance's from the cast overall as I already knew alot about the history of the Manson family and Sharon Tate murders that shook America in 69. Loved the music score. Both leoando DiCaprio and brad Pitt are excellent as the washed up actor and his stunt double who are the heart and soul of the movie. Margot Robbie plays Sharon Tate the actress who would become victim to the family. the film is good but not my favourite Tarantino film that's still pulp fiction but it's good film the only thing too long but that's okay.

Enjoyable, but unoriginal.

Contains spoilers, click to show

The film is described as an adventure to save the island from a volcano, but it soon turns into exactly the same as the first Jurassic World film: genetic engineering, made-up dinosaur out of control etc.

The cast is good, Chris Pratt is excellent as ever, but unfortunately he is the only redeeming feature.

The story, as mentioned, is dull and a repeat of the first Jurassic World, but another disappointment is the use of CGI. Somehow, 25 years after the original Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs have become less realistic, moving down from high quality animatronics to average quality CGI, taking away all the charm.

Excellent, but hasn't aged well.

Not one of John Cleese's best films, but a good one nonetheless.

Clockwise is a very typical road-trip comedy, but from before everybody was doing it.

The plot can be summed up as A-B, hijinx along the way etc., as I said: very typical. But as this is John Cleese it stands apart from the typical road trip comedy, with classic British humour (not for everyone, but I love it), and a protagonist not unlike Cleese's Basil Fawlty character.

Unfortunately the film hasn't aged well, most of the predicaments could be easily solved with modern technology, and the film certainly shows its age.

As I near the completion of my first draft of The Wrath of Borgen, I have decided to take on the role of Beta reader for a friend of mine who has a current WIP on Wattpad. Since I am planning on seeking the help of Beta readers through that forum, I have decided to check out all the website has to offer.
The name of the book of which I am currently Beta reading is The Shattered Dragonslayer, and the name of my friend, the author, is Danielle Blume. So far, I highly recommend this book for others interested in Beta reading for an excellent fantasy novel with a high potential for success after publication.

On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!!!!!

I finally got the chance to watch this movie and oh boy it was excellent, the chemistry between Bale and Damon is phenomenal, the plot is fantastic, the racing is like your actaully their. James Mangold did a perfect job directing this movie.

The Plot: American automotive designer Carroll Shelby and fearless British race car driver Ken Miles battle corporate interference, the laws of physics and their own personal demons to build a revolutionary vehicle for the Ford Motor Co. Together, they plan to compete against the race cars of Enzo Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966.

A must watch film, if you havent seen it yet.

Lots of holes in plot and moments that don't make sense...

Craftsmanship is excellent, the story is bad.... writing is good, to many holes in plot

I didn't even know what this was about when I saw it, and I knew there was hype, but not why.... I don't get why people like this movie so much. it's creepy and unsettling most of the time... yes there are tense moments, but I didn't care about any of the characters..... I just didn't want to see what would happen next.... for me that's not good. This movie is a shade below qualifying as horror.
