The cheesy lines
Too much lame innuendo
Cheesy, lame and a bit cringey in parts
This could have been a decent film but its no way near along the lines of pirates of the Caribbean. The acting and scripting is so cheesy and no real air of authenticity. Has an element of comedy that keeps it rolling along but thats about it

Strong female lead
I wasn't expecting to like this film as I'm not really into action movies, but I actually enjoyed it. The CGI was on point and the action scenes were really good.
The storyline was predictable but very good nonetheless, i did feel it ended with many questions unanswered though so i do hope there's a sequel to wrap everything up.

Psychological Thriller?
Yorgos Lanthimos writes and directs strange, off-the-wall cinema. The Lobster is par for the course. Colin Farrell stars as a man looking for love in all the wrong places (ironic, I know). Rachel Weisz is excellent as the female lead opposite of Farrell. There is a ton to like here, but it is an odd experience.

This book was a really enjoyable read. There are a lot of references to 80s pop culture and need culture, which I'm not a big fan of, but I still really enjoyed reading. My major complaint is a major spoiler. The premise is that everyone is competing to inherit a virtual reality universe essentially. Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but for a video game. There are a few main characters, and the main female is faster and smarter than the male who ends up winning, which I found frustrating. The book could have ended better if the female lead won, in my opinion. The ending was still good though.

In the battle between brains and brawn, it's nice to watch brains come out on top in the looks department! Although the social ineptness of highly intelligent people is portrayed, it's refreshing to see the journey each character makes throughout each season. The storylines aren't as far-fetched as some may perceive, with the fantastic Kathy Reichs giving her anthropological insight to the script.

A lovely, lighthearted and easy read that had me itching to find out more.
It kept me entertained and wanting to continue flicking through the pages.
You were given the impression that the main character was a bit of a drip to start with but boy did she develop. She became a very inspiring character and a great icon that women young and old can draw motivation from.

this was a good read, again with this author I was hooked by the first page. I loved the storyline and the characters n though sometimes I felt myself shouting at the main female lead. I loved how in the second book, characters from 'nothing ever lasts' were brought into the story. defiantly one of my new top authors

Jul 28, 2018
I could not finish this book. I hated everyone except the dog. I found the casual talk of rape and pedophilia disgusting. Even the consensual sex acts often started with the protagonist peeping on an unknowing female lead. I understand that it is horror but it wasn't scary to me. There was no suspense, no chills, no one I wanted to remain unscathed from the mysteries of the canyon.

I cannot begin to explain how much I love this movie. I must have watched it atleast 20 times already! I am in love with Wonder Woman, she is such a strong female lead and that’s something DC really needed! The story line is brilliant and the only slight draw back would be the predictable CGI villain! However I would watch this for Wonder Woman and Etta Candy alone!
