Not as good as the Albert Finney, or David Suchet versions (0 more)
Pretty remake but lacking charm
I'm a bit Agatha Christie fan and love a Whodunit. I've seen the original Albert Finney version a few times and the David Suchet made for TV one. This is behind both of those. Although it has a great cast and some nice scenery it lacks any charm, suspense or tension. Maybe because I know the story so well but the flash backs, clues and final summing up weren't as good as the other versions. Might be more fun for those who haven't seen the other versions. I wasn't keen on Branagh's portrayal of Poirot either... But it's still a good story.

All on board for a train full of Zombies
Wow! What a film!.A zombie film that actually delivers thrilling action scenes..characters you can care about and doesn't rely on CGI special effects.

The story is simple with an outbreak of a virus that infects people and turns them into raging zombies.The main character is on the aforementioned train taking his daughter to her mother for her birthday when all hell starts breaking loose.

I dare anyone not to get a lump in their throat when it comes to the ending.

An awesome movie that deserves to be seen by all before the inevitable piss poor american remake comes along.

If you've seen the the movie quarantine this is the better orignal Spanish version which is way better version i thought the American version was okay but I wanted to see this version for a long time.
Manuela velasco plays a tv reporter who is filming a fire crew on call out to an incident at a apartment building when all hell breaks loose. For me Manuela is excellent as the reporter also a real life reporter in real life. The rest of the cast are good the make up so realistic. The movie had me on the edge of my seat thru out the 70 mins runtime. Sometime maybe I should watch the American remake again

Though a remake it is still such a unique concept.
Westworld started off as being just interesting enough for me to keep coming back for more but at the same time I didn't fall in love with it as fast or as hard as a lot of other people did, but by the season finale I was so hooked even though I guessed the major plot twist part way through the season that the thought of waiting for season 2 was heartbreaking.

The concept of the show is such a unique idea and I love how it shows people at their worst when they have free reign of their own stories, there are a lot of plot twist and even though I figured out most of them it really didn't takeaway from the show at all.

Sass, Snark , and Southern Charm
Set in beautiful, and sadly fictional, Lake Sackett, GA. A Chicago native hits rock bottom professionally and moves to to Georgia to remake herself with the help of a hilarious and adorable cast of characters that comprise her absent father's side of the family. She finds love, laughter, her father, and herself as she tries to get by and find a new career while working in the family business.

It was an absolute joy. I would have laughed myself sick at times if I hadn't been trying to figure out if maybe the author had met some of my relatives. I loved every minute of this book and will definitely be reading it again and again. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
