[Shari J. Ryan] did a fantastic job of character development in [Schasm]. This is a very character driven novel that keeps you guessing. Chloe's struggle with her "illness" and even more so with her mother is the center of this story. It gets even more complicated when Alex enters. I still am not sure what is the truth in this book but it left me wanting more. It is a nice non vampire, non sex driven YA romance twist.

Michael Fassbender stands out
Great Sfx
Interesting idea
It's nice to see a story of how Magneto, Xavier and Mystique etc came to know each other. Also to see how the X-Men came to be. I like the way it's tied into real events in History. The action scenes are great and the Sfx are top notch. A very enjoyable film.

A great crime thriller with a a good cast. For a change for a Guy Ritchie gangster film this isn't about East end gangsters in London and there is no humour in this. It makes a nice change and the story is very good. The plot gets a bit twisted and can be hard to follow at times. However it's one of the better gangster films I've seen in a long while. Slick and stylish with some great twists.

enjoyed this book, really like that it was both characters point of view. the story flows really well and when the characters do meet it is perfectly fitted within the story. the ending is a cliff hanger, so have book two ready. it is a well written book and was nice to read a book where the man isn't a billionaire bad boy. would definitely recommend to others.

Dialogues often without a point
Sad Ben.
Just finished. An ok action movie if you like the sort. 5 ex members of the special forces willing to take down a Narcos boss and Rob his money. I didn't have high expectations for this movie so I enjoyed it enough. The story is weak but does what it needs to do. The cast is all right.

A decent sword & sandals film. Generally more like 300 than Clash of the Titans thankfully. From the same producers I believe as 300 and it has a very similar CGI visual style to it. A nice twist to some of the Greek mythology in the story. The fight scenes are well choreographed and the SFX are very good. Add to that Mickey Rourke giving a good performance as the chief villain and you have a very good film.

This was a solid second novel from Ernie Cline. Of course, the concept was not new, it definitely took from Ender's Game, Flight of the Navigator, etc, but the book wasn't pretending to be an original concept. A video game training the mass population in case of an alien invasion was the storyline.
The only thing I didn't like was the ending... regarding the 'aliens' reasoning for attacking. It was a nice, easy, and quick read.

A very poor sequel set a few months before the first. There aren't as many jumpy scenes or scares, probably because you know more what to expect second time round. The endless scenes of the CCTV footage from each night.....and from what I could tell nothing was happening in those shots?! Nice to have more of a back story to the first, but it felt rushed towards the end with a painfully slow build up!

Predictable and Sad
I enjoyed this film but it’s predictable and I didn’t think parts would be as depressing as they were. I took my little sister to see this in the cinema and she enjoyed it until it started to get really upsetting, I think it’s a bit too sad to be a kids film. Other than that it was a nice change to the other films that have been released.

And I thought 5 and 6 were bad then this one came out at the time it some interesting ideas then They cast busta rhymes which kinda spolit it for me nice to bring back Jamie Lee Curtis back just she can that last moment with Michael which back then we all thought that was the end of Laurie strode I just hope the new movie is good and not another failure
