The conclusion to the Southern Reach trilogy was completely anticlimactic. Not much actually happened in this novel. I think this is the first out of the three that actually uses the word 'alien' but not as a noun.
The novel bounces around between 4 characters, the lighthouse keeper, the psychologist, Control, and Ghostbird. Honestly, there was nothing new, and I was glad that it was a short book.

Haven't seen this for a few years but saw it was on TV tonight and still remember the film on how a man falls in love with a girl only to be told that she only has short term memory and only remembers that date but he keeps going and gets into her head so to speak. Will watch it again probably fairly soon whilst I am thinking about it.

The graphics are phenomenal! (1 more)
The single player story line is great.
The multiplayer gets boring... fast! (1 more)
The xost of weapons that really have no special upgrade values.
Could be better.
I was very excited to play this game at furst and to be honest the single.player game mode is great. Where the game truly falls short is in the multiplay mode. Not enough to do and gets boring very quickly

Gossip girl but in the Hamptons and the girl is the neice of the housekeeper.
I thought this would have more romance but mostly it is teenage angst, stuck up rich people, and two girls who become friends after some pretty weird stuff happens. It was a short read that was perfect for just having around but honestly I don't think I would pick it up ever again.

Decent Sci-Fi Thriller
I remember this seem to go under the radar on release, I think it only had a short run at the cinema. Some kids take up a science project and manage to come up with a time travel device... But things don't go well when you mess with time! The SFX are quite good for the budget. I really enjoyed it and would watch again.

This fan made film (14mins) had been entered in a number of Film Festivals. One would think this was a short for a bonus on a dvd but no it was done by some fans.

Google it if you are a Star Wars fan.

What a stroke of genius
This series of short animated films is one of the best collections I have seen in a long time, the stories range from comedy to serious drama and even if you aren't a massive fan of animation, there is still a story for you, with the realist animation I've seen in a long time. Give it a go you just might like it.

Excellent collection of varying stories. (0 more)
Excellent early stories from the Triffid author
Excellent collection of early short stories from Wyndham that delve into different sci-fi genres. Though it was written in 1930 through to 1938 they are still suprisingly fresh and interesting.
They are a powerhouse of excellent literature and is a great introduction to his later novels such as Day of the Triffids, The Midwich Cuckoos and Chocky.

I found myself surprised so many times in this book. I enjoyed the characters so much.. and they were amusing and funny. These are a collection of short horror stories but honestly they amused me so much I didn't feel as if it was scary but then something would happen and I'd think.. oh.. theres the horror lol. it was awesome and im glad i got to review it

<i>So. Many. Short. Stories.</i>

Sometimes these kinds of weird, old school, random books really hook me, but I can't explain why. This is one of them. This story has the most simple of plot lines, yet it does so well to inflict fear and excitement into the reader.

I loved the writing. I loved the tension. I loved the plot. I loved the psychopath. I loved the ending.
