Movie Rating
I've seen this film twice and it's one of those that has stuck with me.

It's not really a cast I would put together; having Sandra Bullock and Kiefer Sutherland as a couple just doesn't sit right with me, but it works in the overall setting of the film. Jeff Bridges is very good in the role of the manipulative murderer, and there is a lot of suspense throughout the film.

Very enjoyable if you like something to keep you on the edge of your seat.

This show may have been controversial in the media for it's portrayal of suicide but it was very thought provoking. It was a great way to show that you should always watch how you treat people and realize that your words and actions affect people. This show had comedy, drama, romance, and suspense. It has something for just about everyone. I would definitely talk to teens about this show before, during, and after watching. I would not recommend for children under 14.

A very well crafted suspense-driven storyline. I really like stories that make it hard for me to foretell what will happen by the end of the book. This was not one of those. I loved the author's writing style and will gladly say I will be reading his other works in addition to this one. I generally give most books a low re-readability rating but for this read I will say I would read it again if time allowed. Thumbs-way-up!

Gripping plot
One you'll never forget
The Passage and the rest of the trilogy are some of the most fantastic books I've read. Continuous adrenalin rush, heart breaking and impossible to put down. Thoroughly enjoyed every sentence. Fantastic use of description, timing and suspense to build incredible pictures and I read as the whole plot unraveled slowly with so many layers.
I recommend to everyone I know who enjoys reading and even those that don't, a fantastic book to get them started. Well done Cronin!

Life After Death
After.Life- is a decent horror thriller. I have pros and cons of this film.

Pros:
Liam Nesson
Christina Ricci
The Plot/story
The suspense

Cons:
Just Long
Not Really Scary
Not Really horrorfying
Just forgetable

The plot: After a horrific car crash, a young teacher awakes on a mortuary slab. The funeral director convinces her she is not alive but transitioning into the spirit world. Is he telling the truth?

Like i said its decent but forgetable.
  
Biblios
Biblios
2007 | Card Game, Medieval, Religious
Very easy to teach. (5 more)
Very fast gameplay.
Great replayability.
The Drafting/Press your luck combo in phase 1 is superb.
Scales very well, good fun with 2, 3, or 4 players.
The suspense lingers to the very end.
Some think the theme is "pasted on". (1 more)
The quality of the cards could be better, easily remedied with sleeves, though.
Biblios is one of the best card drafting games out there, and one of the best filler games. Highly Recommended!

"The fifth movie, I would say… let me see… I would have to say it would probably be Jaws, ’cause I think that Jaws… it’s the height of suspense for filmmaking, it was the start of the summer blockbuster, it was the beginning of an entire genre of filmmaking and obviously the beginning, in some respects, of Steven Spielberg’s career. I think Jaws is a remarkable film. Those are the five today. You ask me tomorrow and I might change of few of them. [laughs]"
