Brodie Torrance (Gerard Butler), is a recently widowed dad who looks
forward to completing his nearly empty run from Singapore to Tokyo so he
can take advantage of the time difference and meet up with his daughter in
Hawaii in time to celebrate the new year.
In the new film “Plane” things do not go as planned as the nearly empty
the flight also hosts a prisoner transfer as a dangerous fugitive named Louis
(Mike Colter), is brought onto the flight late.
Forced by a corporate officer to fly through a storm they were told would
be clear by the time they reached it to save time and fuel, the flight
encounters severe issues and soon find themselves without avionics and
forced to make an emergency landing on an island.
Unable to send for help and unsure of their exact location, Brodie learns
that they are on an outer island of the Philippines and that there is only
insurrectionists and militia on the island and that the military or police
are not options.
While attempting to find a way to contact help, Brodie enlists Louis to
help and soon finds that the passengers and crew have been taking hostage
by a brutal local militia. Forced to improvise rescue and wait for
help, the tense and violent situation quickly becomes a living nightmare
as they fight to survive.
The tension level of the film is great as the early segments in the plane
did a great job of showing the routine of a pilot and also ramped up the
tension. I can be a nervous passenger when a plane gets into bad weather
and I found my palms getting sweaty and anxiety creeping in during the
detailed sequences of the flight in peril.
The action of the film was engaging as were the characters as they were
easy to pull for despite not having much in the way of backstory or
character development. The film has plenty of action as was engaging from
start to finish which makes “Plane” a pleasant diversion and one fan of
Butler will not want to miss.

WOW!!! Just... WOW!!!
DARKNESS FALLING is the first book in the Light Up the Dark series and it is simply brilliant!
In a world similar yet different to the one we currently live in, Lex and Mike are soul mates, platonic ones, much to Lex's disappointment. He has loved Mike for years but hides it, knowing Mike is straight. Mike, well, he thinks he's straight, but he can't help certain feelings towards Lex. The question is, will these actually talk about it before the world ends?
The quick answer is yes, yes they do. I loved these two young men, I really did. It is a big world they live in, with plenty of characters and situations to keep you turning the pages. I loved the flow of this story, as it took you from the streets of New Orleans, to training, to Afghanistan, and then on a trek across both land and sea as they tried to return home.
They are ably supported by a fantastic cast of characters - military guys, witches, shifters, mages, and let's not forget Andie. I love her addition and can't wait to see more of her in the next book. She's going to keep the boys on their toes, that's for sure.
There is so much I could rave about - the natural relationship of Mike and Lex - the brotherhood of the MagCorps - the magical EMP that causes such devastation - Lex's enthusiasm for history - honestly, I'd be here for hours! This was a novel that I started at night, figuring I'd just read a little before bed. Instead, I was glued to the pages, only putting it down when I simply couldn't focus any longer, only to pick it up first thing the following morning to continue and finish their story.
Absolutely fantastic and I can't wait for Book 2. HIGHLY recommended by me.

Merida and her people are dying.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 3 in the Dyson Bridge series, and I do recommend you read the other two books: Abandon Station, book 1 and Among Us, book 2, before you read this one. It will give you the full story of how Merida and her people came to be on this New Earth. Not all is full recapped here and you really do need to know what happened before.
Finally, the politicians and the military of this world are beginning to see that the Bridgeway's deteriorating orbit might be disastrous for the New Earth. They just can't decide on how to fix it. Merida knows, along with her people but they won't let the technology on the Bridgeway fall into wrong hands and are fighting amongst themselves, while Merida and her people are dying.
So, people, again cliffhanger of sorts but at least Merida and her people are one step closer to going home. They are safer now, on the station than they were on Earth.
I found this one HEAVY on the technical details required to send the escape pods and on what happened on the station when they got there. Far too technical for me to fully understand, although I got some of it. The technology of Merida and the Bridgeway is far superior to ours, and to the New Earth and I fall in the New Earth category in my understanding!
Again, though, only Merida has a voice.
That said, I did enjoy the build up to getting back on the station and now look forward to Merida and those of her crew that are left, along with some tag alongs, getting home, if they can!
I am still invested in these people and I only want them to all be happy, and home. Also, I didn't have to wait 18 months for this book, like I did book 2, so maybe Harrison can get them home quicker, huh??
