Contains spoilers, click to show
A truly excellent thriller, this U.S. remake of a Norwegian film retains the feel of it's Scandinavian genesis.
Tense, twitchy and enthralling with fantastic performances, potent settings, and a great script and direction.
Pacino plays an L.A. cop hiding from his own guilt while investigating the death of a girl in Alaska.
Robin Williams is chillingly convincing as the manipulative bad man, proving yet again that he was a masterful actor as well as a gifted comedian.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated How to Survive a Killer Séance (Party Planning, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Event planner Presley Parker is hired for a seance themed party at the Winchester Mystery House. But part way through, the "ghost" goes off script. Next thing she knows, the host is missing and a body has turned up. I really like the characters, but plot could have used a bit more polish. It dragged in a few places, and the ending felt rushed.

Wow. What a great series. If you like crazy, funny programmes then this is one for you.
With Deadpoolesque humour and the stamina of The Punisher, this guy is one hell of a character.
I shall not write any spoilers but highly recommend that if you’re stuck on what to watch on Netflix at the moment, this is well worth a try and you will be hooked.

Just finished watching just as good as the last time they were on ten years ago brilliant comedy all the actors are back fitting back perfectly into their roles and a excellent script from both Ruth Jones and James Corden what's not like. And then there's Rob bryden as uncle Byran his almost meltdown over the Christmas turkey magic. Hope they make another soon and not ten years from now due to big cliffhanger
Carmen Dupre (14 KP) rated The Last of Us in Video Games
Feb 2, 2020
A game set 20 years into the zombie apocalypse. You play as Joel, an old time survivor who is given the task of taking Ellie, a seemingly normal teenage girl, across the US. With a great script, some beautiful animation and scenery and a journey showcasing many different sides of a post-apocalyptic world, you get to decide yourself whether zombies or humans make up the real threat.
Barry Newman (204 KP) rated Heathers (1988) in Movies
Feb 9, 2020
A darker murderous take on the high school movie that is a fairly accurate representation of the cliques and the desperate desire to be popular that exist in high school. Christian Slater and Winona Ryder (in her early Tim Burton days) were great casting choices and make for a believable couple until the murder and mayhem start getting out of hand. Its perhaps looking a little dated now but it's still a very sharp and witty script and still quite relevant today. Well worth your time.

A film that has held up very well. 20 years later the storytelling still feels fresh and exciting despite the obvious ‘Pulp Fiction’ inspired plot device of having the story told several times from different characters perspectives. The script is sharp, funny and frequently veers off in unexpected directions. Watching the film again now it’s also amazing to see that barring Katie Holmes pretty much the entire cast has now disappeared into obscurity which is a shame as there is certainly some talent here.

Finally got to watch this movie another of my never got to watch originally but none I have what can I say about its brilliant movie very dark movie and less said about the woodchipper. The cast is top notch but the standout for me is Frances mcdormand as the pregnant cop who is chasing the kidnappers not knowing that yet. anyway good script good direction from the choen brothers to make the perfect movie I should watch more often
