Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2395 KP) rated The Homicide Hustle: A Ballroom Dance Mystery in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The reality TV competition Ballroom with the B-Listers has hit DC, and Graysin Motion is one of the featured studios. But when one of the show's producers dies, Stacy begins digging around to find the killer. The characters and plot are a little light even for a cozy, but the story comes together well at the end. Anyone with an interest in ballroom dance will certainly enjoy it.

Never fails

Having been a fan of the tv show as long as I can remember, I have read this, comprising Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers and Better Than Life, dozens and dozens of times - and can quote great chunks.
Lister is slobbier than ever.
Rimmer is even more of an irritating worm.

The universe, time, death and reality are all their playthings - and I can only begin to imagine what Lister’s isolation on those peculiar worlds would be like.

Very weak story (1 more)

Not much of a horror or scifi

Let's not bother

Well only tried this out as recognised the actress who plays Tiggs was popular on UK TV. It's a very low budget film. Set in an advanced facility with advanced Ai and augmented reality specs. It's all a bit vague as to why the kids are there, what they are learning. Very quickly turns into people just running down dark corridors, air vents trying to escape the evil kids. A poor ending which was quite predictable caps it off.

As Yoda himself would say: "largely pointless, this is".

In reality, this is a story-within-a-story-within-a-story, with Luke Skywalker reading this from 'Old Ben' Obi-Wan Kenobi's journal whilst in the cockpit of his X-Wing, chasing after R2-D2 who has decided to rescue (on his own) the captured at the end of The Final Flight of the Harbinger C-3PO from the Imperials.

And, as the arc ends, (presumably) R2-D2 is still in transit, with C-3PO still in custody.

Let there be light!

Contains spoilers, click to show

This light hearted comedy follows Bruce Nolan who feels his career as a news reporter is going nowhere, he doesn't get the promotion to anchorman as he believed he would and gets fired causing him to lose control. For this he blames God, who in return contacts bruce and offers him his power's and responsibilities for one week, thinking it's a joke he accepts until reality hits.
Great acting, great casting and plenty of great humour (what do you expect from a jum Carrey movie).
