"Protecting the earth from the scum of the universe"

The second of the mid-to-late 90s of Will Smit's one-two rapid ascension to movie super stardom (following Independence Day), which sees him recruited by Tommy Lee Jones to join the Men in Black: a top-secret government organisation set up to monitor alien presence on earth.

While we're now up to four entries in the series as a whole following this summer's (2019) by-all-account-disappointing Men in Black: International, it's easy to forget just how well this movie still holds together, alongside some classic exchanges such as:

"Why the big secret? People are smart"
"A person is smart. People are dumb panicky dangerous animals and you know it"

"You do know Elvis is dead, right?"
"No, Elvis is not dead. He just went home"

A cop with a secret
I loved this show which has just ended after 7 series. If you missed it make sure you catch it. Loosely based on Grimm fairy tales. A cop discovers his special ability that reveals the truth about some of the people in his town. A good mix of action mystery and horror.

A cautionary tale of mob mentality
This is absolutely tragic. The last few scenes remind me of Frankenstein. This mystery novel surrounds a quirky young woman, her older agoraphobic sister Constance, their disabled uncle and an enigmatic cousin. They have a rather hideous family secret that is revealed midway but the reasoning behind it remains unknown. It is a fascinating story, engaging, and straightforward.

I couldn't get into the book at first, but once I did it was fast paced. Levin blends hard science, with sci-fi fantasy very well. Anyone who loves time travel, sci-fi and secret agents will love this book. It also has some graphic sex scenes. I hope there is a sequel. I received an ARC copy from #NetGalley for an voluntary, honest review.

Kept hidden away from everyone and .are to think he's really ill this story tells how you can do anything you set your mind too. It's great how it features friendship so well and not just humans. And the story is so well thought off bout discovering secrets. Is such a fantastic book and definitely a classic

Four Christmas novels - two romance, one mystery, and one chick lit. I bought it for Laura Levine's mystery novella featuring her sleuth Jaine Austen. I loved it as always. Two of the other stories were enjoyable, but Fern Michaels's contribution was just plain bad on all fronts.

Book 2 of the Nabari No Ou series begins to dive further into the actual plot. You get background information about a few of the main characters, as well. The pace is about the same as Book 1. The story actually moves forward in this book, and you find out more about what the secret art is, and why people are trying to hunt it down.
