Someone should have definitely put it out there that this novel would make the Last Jedi make a little more sense. This novel introduces Hondo, and Leia's first mission. Gray, once again, has Leia on point, and the filmmakers should have definitely consulted her before writing their own script.
Anyway, if you want to understand who Hondo actually is, and why she was so close to Leia, you should definitely give this a read.

Not bad attempt to mix "The Happening" and "A Quiet Place" Sandra Bullock is as always watchable these days in this mash up disaster movie.
It's really not as bad as others say, and the story is somewhat engaging though full of plot holes.
The cast are pretty decent, however John Malkovich is terribly underused and his character hamstrung by the average script, raises more questions than answers!

A divisive one this is, but I enjoyed it for what it was, a slice of fun and escapism.
Cruise appears to be dialing it in, but I don't think so as he does most of the stunt work here and he seems to be enjoying the script and having fun with it.
Cameron Dias is her usual ditzy character and rounds off this guilt pleasure of a film.

This is a great twist to the typical murder mystery trope. Watching from the viewpoint of the killer is a great twist on something that has been done hundreds of times in a fresh way. The acting is superb with several big names providing a very strong cast of fantastic actors. Twist after twist keeps you interested through the entire film. A great script with great actors so over all a great movie.

As a double feature with BatB I saw Life, with Ryan Reynolds, spoiler alert, him being on the main bill was really misleading. While it was a passable story line and the actors were good, I predicted the ending and came out not really feeling like I'd seen a whole film. It almost felt like someone had asked for a synopsis of the whole film and they'd made that instead of making the whole script.

Watched last night let's start off by talking about the creature itself dear lord what were they thinking evenof the acting in HD it looks terrible no money spent on the creature itself and less said the rhing that sticks out of it especially as reminds of male part of the body. At least it has a decent script let down by the effects and some of the acting

Not a great deal of Shark scenes
Noticeable poor script
Lacking bite
I thought I'd give this a go as I quite like Shark films. This was a disappointment, every jump scene you can see coming a mile away. The apparent twist is sign posted early on. One that will mainly annoy the majority I think given the reaction in the cinema. @The Shallows (2016) was a much better Shark thriller.
