Some dodgy characters
Weak love story line
Overall I really enjoyed this film. You can tell straight away that James Cameron had a massive effect on this film, even Alitas eyes look like something straight from Avatar.

The overall story was great and intriguing and most questions I had were answers, although not all but expect a second film would answer those.

If you can I highly recommend going to see this on the big screen as the visuals are beautiful.

Fast, funny, absurd, and thoroughly enjoyable, Charlie All Night is a fun-filled romp filled with great characters! This is my first Jennifer Crusie book and I can't wait to read more from her, especially since I've heard her newer books are even better. While the bit of mystery isn't real strong, Ms. Crusie's flowing plot and zany characterizations are wonderful, and more than make up for it. In some ways, this book reminds me of early Janet Evanovich romances, although Jennifer Crusie's have a more timeless feel to them. A very nice, light read to curl up with. :)

Holly Black is amazing
This book follows the story of Jude a mortal girl who was raised in the world of the fae. Jude is a morally grey character. This makes the story more interesting because her actions are not easy to predict. It was a nice change from the typical YA hero who always does what is right. My one complaint is that the book did start off a little slow, but by the end I couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, and I hope they don't disappoint.

classics never die, unlike graboids
I first saw this via those discs you get when you used to first buy a DVD player, a handful of B movies and this hidden gem, this film convinced me to give B movies a second chance, Tremors is made up of a small cast of good actors, it takes place in the middle of a desert in a nowhere town, two guys going about their business until something starts killing people, what follows is B movie gold, well worth a watch.

Not what I expected
Haunting in Hill House, when my daughter recommended this, I admit, the first episode made me almost not wanting to watch another, but I did. And I'm so glad I did. I had both tears and a need for a nightlight while watching this. The only thing that kind of was meh, was some of the secondary actors. The main characters were a nice cast in my opinion, but their husbands and wives, eh they were ok. I really hope there's a second season.

fantastic read
This is the first book by this author that I've read. This is a nice sweet story. This book just sucks you in from the first page and keeps you hooked till the end. The characters are amazing and very well written and it was lovely to read how there relationships developed. This book has swoon worthy characters. The author has a fab way of bringing the words to life. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended

Underwhelming
I like a whodunit murder mystery and this had been on my list to see for a long time. It's not a film that gets shown on TV often but is on Sky cinema at present.
It has a rather silly plot of a serial killer around Oxford University who leaves clues a Maths professor and student try to solve. The scenes in and around Oxford University give it a nice setting. The lead characters are good actors but unfortunately they are let down by the final revelation about the murders. One for Whodunit fans only.

This is the second book in this series by this author. This is a nice quick read for these dark nights. This book has some emotional moments which may bring a tear to your eyes. The characters are fantastic and you just fall in love with them as you read. The chemistry between the characters is definitely hot. This story is so lovely and heart warming, I just couldn't put it down till I'd finished it. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

A superhero film worthy of an oscar
Epic. It's the best word to describe this movie.
Nice ideas, good use of characters and some great set pieces.

After speculation of how this would pan out for months, the writers and directors have handled this extremely well.

For the first time a movie made me laugh, fill up and cheer out loud ( in public)

A great end to a 22 movie run.

It just shows DC how it should have been done with Justice League, slow build introduce all the parts and then the team ups.

Amazing....absolutely love it
