Another solid Joe Wright film. Gary Oldman did an amazing job as Churchill, the ultimate spin doctor. It was a good year to bring this film out, since Dunkirk came out a few months earlier. The movie did a good job, building the tension between the various political figures, and the war. It was also nice to see Ben Mendelsohn not play a villain.

Will get stuck
This song will get stuck in your head. It is reminiscent of the Bone Thugz and Harmony "Crossroads" song. The radio plays it so much that one finds one's self humming it throughout the day.
It is a really catchy song and Khalid can definitely sing but it in my opinion is just a fad that will soon blow away.

A fun pair of stories set with the Ninth Doctor, Rose and Jack. The first may be the best Slitheen story told to date, and that's saying something about the reviled monsters from Raxacoricofallapatorius. The second has some nice moments with a future Micky not wanting to deal with No. 9, in a misfire about Rose gaining superpowers. For our full review... http://travelingthevortex.com/?p=8201

Sometimes life isn't quite what you expected. A novel about finding yourself and finding true love.
This is a nice little debut novel about Sophie, a young woman who is torn between her love for her boyfriend and her growing feelings for her best friends sister. Set in Scotland, this novel is tragic, romantic, gripping and sad.

Although the book was easy to read, found it a bit unbelievable at times considering it is claiming to be a true story. I have to wonder if the author embellished the story a bit. Hard to believe that so many thing went wrong and then worked themselves out perfectly during his journey. The story was still nice and did find myself engaged throughout.

I'm really confused as to why this movie was even made. The CGI was bad, the accents were all over the place, and the costumes looked like they were from a middle school play. Every time Jesus was on screen, all I could think about was Xerxes from 300. The 2 is only because Jack Huston and Toby Kebbell are nice to look at.

Great Sfx

A simple and short action film that pacts a big punch. It doesn't disappoint when it comes to the action watching giant robots and alien creatures have a scrap in a major city. Would have been nice to see a few more robot designs and more alien screen time. If you liked the first one you'll enjoy this.
