Deeply moving, the horrors of separation
A well deserved Pulitzer Prize for Hisham Matar, who writes bravely about the terrible experiences his family faced under the Gaddafi regime and not knowing the fate of his diplomat father. It is gripping and terrifying to read how easy it was for the authorities to arrest and kill Libyans at will even on foreign soil and the complicity of western countries that allowed it to happen. Truly a harrowing and stirring read.

This game is alright. I know there are a lot of people who love these games, I'm just a terrible liar and not great at the strategies this game requires. If I am on the resistance side, I am always found out. This makes the game less fun for me and my teammates. I would much rather watch the game be played as it has very interesting dynamics and it is fun to see how everyone's mind works.

Please don't resurrect him again
The 4th installment of the Hatchet series. The first was actually quite good, the 2nd less so and the 3rd was terrible. I really hoped this would be more like the first. Unfortunately it moves more into the comedy Horror area, without being that funny. The cheap rubber doll effects are poor, along with any vague plot in between kills. Unless you like all the Hatchet films I would avoid it.

Terrible Vampire Film
I really thought I would like this. It has a good idea for a story with a vampire race living along side humans in an alternate world. That was one of the let downs as the alternate world is like a mish mash of Victorian times mixed with 60's technology, steam powered cars? Why this setting? Could have been a lot better along the line of Underworld, Equilibrium.....but falls way short.

Ugh
This movie was weak. The cinematography/effects was the only good part and that was just "ok". The acting was terrible and the storyline didn't seem to know what it wanted to be-a psycho killer movie or a ghost story. I almost stopped watching it halfway through but figured I should at least finish it. I regret that decision. This one is considered a horror movie but there's nothing "horror" about it. NOT worth a watch!

I just can't get into this. Something about reading this makes it feel less like an enjoyable superhero romp and more like a chore. Everything was a little bland. I was really hoping the diversity and representation of downs syndrome would be enough to pull this along, but sadly because of the character design he didn't even stand out. Over all it wasn't terrible, but I have no interest in visiting these characters again in Vol. 2.

Not the worst film
This was an interesting idea, it was however not executed to its full potential.
The acting was OK but not great, its a new take on terror as everyone is scared of what they can't see but if they look, well we know what happens then.
If you are a Sandra bullock fan I would reccomend however if not then give a swerve.

Car crash tv
Look, I know it's terrible but I can't help but love it. Two people come on the show and choose a tattoo for the each other, without each other knowing what they are having done until the reveal. Cue an arsenal supporter having the Tottenham logo on his chest or a girl with a tattoo of herself with the craps on her leg. It's car crash TV and I love it.

Not fussed
I love doctor who but this season has been terrible, I feel sorry for the actors really. The problem is the writers, the story lines are shockingly bad, they are so bad that my daughter who is obsessed with doctor who refuses to watch it after she saw the 1st episode, it devastated her at how bad it was. It really doesn't feel like you are watching doctor who anymore.
