Movie Rating

Decent

This one is a low budget thriller but proved you don't have to be big budget to make a good movie. While some parts were a little strange-and a some a little predictable-the overall story was well done! Cinematography and acting were just right for this one and Olivia Wilde proves herself in this emotional role. Not the greatest movie out there but keeps your attention through to the end. Worth a watch!

Not a huge fan of Martin Freeman but he is great in this little movie about a family just trying to survive a strange virus that puts people into a zombie like state, cinematography is very good and you generally feel for him as he falls victim to the virus then struggles to re home his young daughter before he "turns"
Solid performances from the many small name actors, we need more like this from Netflix.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Dive Deep and Deadly (Luanne Fogarty Mysteries, #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Luanne Fogarty is a diver who helps out the sheriff's department when needed. When she finds a body in a cave but it is gone by the time they return, she gets involved in a strange mystery. The writing is so vivid you feel like you are diving with Luanne. And the mystery keeps you turning pages.

Zuky the BookBum (15 KP) rated The White-Throated Transmigrant in Books

Mar 15, 2018

This one was a strange read. It didnt have much of a storyline to it, but I still felt melancholic after reading it.

This story is reminiscent of going through something shocking and coming out the other side of it lost and alone. I like it but it was very sad and made me feel lonely.

Sad, slightly creepy and slow moving, this one is definitely not something you want to pick up after a traumatic event.

David McK (3372 KP) rated Hellboy, Vol. 1: Seed of Destruction in Books

Jan 28, 2019

The inspiration for the Ron-Perlman led movie(s) of the same name, Hellboy - like the lead character - is sort of a strange mix: in this case, of the occult with the medium of the graphic novel with a very Cthulu-like monster at the end of the tale.

I also have to say that this is proof that Marvel and DC aren't the only two publishers in the world able to produce compelling and enjoyable reads!

The Regrets is an interesting, yet strange story about love, life, death, desire, certainty, and uncertainty. I thought it was going to be a straight-up love story between a ghost and a human, because I'd only skimmed the jacket synopsis, but it ended up being more complicated than that. It was a quick read. I'm not sure I'd nominate it for my book club to read, but it was an oddly interesting story, in its own right.

Classic Who Done it with a twist

Have watched it twice now, once at the cinema and another at home through Amazon. Enjoyed both times, the plot does twist and turn but you might be able to guess who it is. Sorry but this should have given Daniel Craig a different accent as it was rather bad. Son who is a big Marvel fan found it strange watching Chris Evan play a different type of character.
