Sister, Maiden , Monster
By Lucy A. Snyder
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Humanity has been irrevocably changed by a virus that radically alters its victims...yet life goes on.

Three women must band together to try to survive. Erin and Savannah are helping usher in the new world, while Mareva has been burdened with a very special task ― one she's too horrified to even acknowledge.

This is absolutely brilliant I didn’t want to put it down. It’s so well written. Following a the covid pandemic the world gets thrown into another apocalyptic virus. This is a fantastic comic horror/end of days novel. It is graphic so please read any trigger warnings. I’m so glad I found this author her writing style is definitely something I want to read more of!

Great story
Well after watching a short while I realised this is actually based on a short TV series from the UK in 2009 starring Suranne Jones. A really gripping drama. This is basically a remake but set in the US.
The key story elements are the same as a young woman released after a long period in Prison for killing a cop tries to track down her younger sister. She struggles as her past catches up and the victims family are keen for revenge.
It holds up pretty well to the original, the writer also help produced this. Just the ending seemed a little less dramatic in this version. Still a very good story and a gritty role for Sandra Bullock.

2003 sequel to 2001's Shangai Noon.

I know I've seen that earlier movie, but don't remember all that much about it, other than it was Wild West set and starred the same two lead actors in Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson.

This time around, the two end up in Victorian London in search of a McGuffin after Chon Wang's (Chan's) father - who is the keeper of the Imperial Seal - is murdered, with Wang then reuniting with his estranged sister.

As expected, they then encounter a whole host of historical characters, and get involved in all sorts of escapades, with it never really being in any doubt how it will end ...

So, yeah, family friendly fare that relies heavily on Owen's laid-back approach contrasting with Chan's high-energy slapstick martial arts.
