Double Cross (The Last Musketeer, #3)

This Middle Grade trilogy comes to an end as modern day teen Greg Rich must figure out a way to save seventeenth century France and find the stone that will take his family home. Fasted paced action made it hard to put down, and I loved every second of the race to the end.

Decent B Movie genre blender
An enjoyable if fairly short and predictable horror/war film. It starts with great action scenes as the planes and boats are making their way to France to fight the Germans. What was to be a simple mission turns out to discover some horrific experiments taking place. It's a good film while it lasts but follows an all too predicable route to the finale.

Book Rating
The final volume in Simon Scarrow's quartet of books about the lives of Wellington and Napoleon, this novel opens with Napoleons attempt to cross the Dabube while, in Spain, Wellington consistently defeats Napoleon's Marshals.

The novel follows Napoleon through his disastrous Russian campaign and his defeat at Leipzig, as well as Wellington through the Peninsula and eventually into France itself, and culminates in the climactic Battle of Waterloo, where Napoleon is finally defeated for good.

Devil wears parada vibe
Not a bad watch it was recommended to me on a Saturday morning and I watched the whole season by that night! Very cheesey comedy about a girl that travels to France for work from America but doesn't fit in all that well. She soon learns and grows and starts building a life for herself. Paris, the city of love, where she makes new friends new lovers and a few mistakes.

"I suppose there is a theme to my puberty list that could be summed up as “Live Free or Die Trying.” There is no battle for liberation, no desperate struggle to be seen on your own terms, that does not owe a debt to this film. Such sentiment is delivered romantically, tragically, and with unbearable beauty in this grande bataille, the likes of which you can still feel all over France, all over the world"
