Melanie Caldicott (6 KP) rated What Have I Done? (No Greater Love #2) in Books
Apr 29, 2021
An accomplished book which tackles the issue of abuse hidden beneath the facade of upper class respectability. The characterisation was skillful, each emotion and lurch for survival was vividly described so the reader could identify perfectly with what, for most of us, is unthinkable. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Would've been better without the romance
I like both Idris Elba and Kate Winslet, however I feel like this film could've been much better without a pointless romance between them.
This should've been a survival film only, and it would've been much more endearing. The love story was a little ridiculous and unnecessary, and the ending too was just predictable and cheesy. As purely a survival film though, this could have actually been quite good. There are parts of this where they appear to survive fairly harsh conditions and situations without any real consequences, which seems a little farfetched - they spend 3 weeks in the mountains but barely seem knackered at all. There also seem to be a few nuances and plot holes. I also get very annoyed with survival films when one of the characters is always a doctor! It's awfully convenient.
To be fair this was an alright film to watch until it started on the romance. I'm just glad nothing bad happened to the dog.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Assume Nothing: A Story of Intimate Violence in Books

Had I known more about the author, I probably wouldn't have read this book. I didn't like the woman herself, she's part of a very large group of women that have selective memory regarding stories, like her own.
Her story of survival was well-written, but I still don't like her.

Film and stuff (30 KP) rated The Belko Experiment (2017) in Movies
May 15, 2019
Work can be killer
Starring:
John Gallagher, Goldwyn and Adria Arjona
Director: Greg McLean
Plot: 80 employees of Belko are locked in an office building. With instructions provided by a voice over the intercom, a game of death begins.
Result: This has a phenomenal 1st and 2nd act which pushes boundaries and raise great questions about the value of life and integrity. Tense and hugley entertaining. The third act starts the trend of generic survival horror but even then, it felt fresh and at no point was the film dull.
If you love Battle Royal or survival horror then this is an absolute must watch!

Very creepy and atmospheric (2 more)
Quite gory
Good locations
Just when you thought it was safe to get the night tube!
A very good British horror. A late night journey on the Underground goes from bad to worse for one commuter as they are chased through the tunnels in a fight for survival.

Wonderful read
Not a book for most kids under the age of 12(depends on maturity levels of course). Its a great story about male bonding, but in the worst possible situation they wanted to have it. Overall it is a story of trust, betrayal, and survival among a backdrop of potential failure.

Great fun
This game was a culmination of some of my favourite types of game (open world, driving, survival) and I absolutely adore it. There are a few small bugs and polishing issues here and there, but for the most part these can go unnoticed, and it is just a really fun game
Gillian (3 KP) rated Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) in Movies

Survival of the Fittest
Oh my goodness. This movie was a riot. I have never laughed so hard in my life. It was awesome from beginning to end. I was always curious on how they will tie the original Jumanji to the Sequel, but the execution was perfect. I recommend everyone to watch it.
