What an ending!

I liked this more than the first, more action packed and character development. It was nice to learn more about Sophie's dad and Cal.

I am so intrigued about what's going to happen next with everything; the Council, the Brannicks, The Eye.

I'm hoping that Archer and Sophie get some sort of happy ending and that maybe Sophie's mum and dad might get together again.

Right now I'm off to hunt for Book 3 online!

Enjoyable, easy to read. (0 more)
In truth there are authors in this genre who are in some respects better, however i do enjoy reading books by this author. The Anita Blake series is easy reading. The plots are not too complicated and characters are easy to follow and they never take that long to read that i lose interest. I would recommend to anyone interested in this genre that doesnt want a huge long drawn out book but a nice quick vampire story fix.

This is a fairly decent disaster film. It's a nice change to see a film of this type set outside New York for a change! Some of the acting is pretty dour....the old guy playing a marine expert is especially bad, talking at the same pace and tone no matter what the scene. However the SFX in places are impressive and shots of a flooded London are believable. Overall it would have benefitted from a bigger budget, but it is still watchable.

A nice surprise!
A surprising good Horror film that is definitely different to the normal Slasher. A small group hire an old barn in a remote area to make an adult film. The old couple on the farm find out which lead to a series of events to unfold.
For a low budget indie film it was really good, creepy, sinister, with good gore effects as well. A prequel Film Pearl was made at same time.

I quite enjoyed Nightmare Alley, it's not your usual Del Toro movie, so don't be expecting the strange creatures we have cone to know him for. I vaguely remember the 1947 version of the film of the book that it's based on, so I couldn't give a comparison to that or the book, but this version has a great cast and some nice cinematography.

Worth checking out if you want to step away from the Hollywood action blockbusters for a brief moment 😉

breaths live into an old story
beautiful visuals , great direction from Branagh and solid acting from a stellar cast makes this unneeded remake a must see ,slightly different from the original film and book Branagh is no Ustinov but is very good in the roll , with some minor "Politically Correct"changes but they dont take anything away from a great film ......I`m looking forward to the sequel Evil Under the Sun

A nice read with the action starting from the very first page when Marilee crashes her hot air balloon into Coles pool. I love the banter between them and there's quite a spark from the beginning but this book was written in the 80's and there is where it should have stayed. If its going to be re-released it should have had a modern revamp. This book has left me wanting... (bit like Marilee!) I'm sure if you brought it into the 'New Adult' genre.

Enjoyed it.
Not at all what I thought it would be. I'm definitely glad I read the book before watching the film.

It's a very sad story in a way but there are so many nice moments through out the book. I've always been a fan of the letter/ diary format in books. It holds my interest like no other. I don't know what it is about it but it's just very entertaining to me. Reminds me of Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern.
