BookCritics (259 KP) rated Lincoln in the Bardo in Books
May 16, 2017
Lincoln in the Bardo is an incredible first novel from a master of the short fiction format. The shared narration is reminiscent of a Greek chorus or a conversation, rendered on the page like the script of a play.

Original Score- 5 out of 5

Good script
Impressive set design
Kill One, Save A Thousand
A well acted, well written war movie. Murphy and Dornan are great as the two lead spies and production level is high. The sets and the use of practical effects make for exciting battle scenes that break up the tension and dread that is present throughout the film.

Great script (1 more)
Good cast
Something different
Bit of a strange film a Western with a horror twist. It has a good cast and witty dialogue but some how felt rather low budget. The main problem is the film could easily be cut by about 30 minutes. It's very slow at the start and middle section. At least it's original.

A mind is a scary place
I've heard people doubt Angelina Jolie's acting talent over the years, but her performance in this would put any doubt to rest. No matter what you think of her, she puts in an incredible performance here. James Mangold's direction is great too and this is a movie that everyone should see at some point.

Awful Horror Comedy
Well seeing this on Netflix it sounded like a Horror version of the breakfast club. Interesting idea, that's all that is interesting though. Turns out it tries to be a comedy horror. It fails there and is just an awful film. Bad acting, plot, script, no scares and no laughs. Skip past this if you spot it!
Paul (106 KP) rated Deutschland 86 in TV
May 22, 2019
Follows on from Deutschland 83 where Martin get himself tangled up in more espionage. Really don't want to say anything as I don't want to spoil it but it's clever, action packed and thrilling. Hopefully they will make another series but if they don't it has an excellent ending.
Dean (6927 KP) rated The Happening (2008) in Movies
Feb 10, 2018
I heard this was bad but I just had to see for myself when it was on TV. Yep really bad, despite the director and actors involved this is very poor. The acting stands out as being really bad, almost hard to take them serious in some scenes. The script is bland and the story just odd and not really exciting. Avoid it!
