So so version
Whilst i enjoyed the first Mamma Mia filn a great deal. This film seem to be discombobled, epsically between Donna life and Sophie life today. The transition between the two seem to in my option lack something. Where the first film is a feel good okay the actor can sing but not to a incredible degree bringing in cher who is a power house of a voice just highlighted that half the others aren't the greatest of singers.

Fun movie
A fun movie to remind you of your childhood, full of nostalgia of the original games with a modern twist. The animation is good and Ryan Reynolds as pikachu is just brilliant add and adult element to a childish movie. A fun watch for a few hours, just don't expect the story line to be anything other than it is, very predictable at times, but still good.

Not usually a Matt Damon fan but, in this movie he was really good. Not that this would win any oscars but, it should have been nominated for best original screenplay as this is a great original story.

Excellent yet misleading
This movie is great, I am a huge fan of papillon and this film shows a good reflection of the penal islands and various escape attempts. The film is no where near as good as the books and veers away from charrieres account in which can be annoying if you have read the book first as you sit there and think we'll that's not right that never happened. despite this it's still worth a watch especially for the pigeon island scene.
RaeJ (5 KP) rated Love You Dead (Roy Grace book 12) in Books
Sep 6, 2017
The storyline in general is very good and it stays true to real life when the scene is described as it's set primarily in Brighton, England. Peter James has a very good descriptive style with his work and it definitely shows with this story. (1 more)
This book is very gripping and it definitely keeps you engaged and wanting to read more.

I read this book in two days and enjoyed it. The writing is easy to follow most of the time but doesn't water it down to the point of insulting my intelligence. This is a good look into life of deployment. I learned new ways of helping people cope with incredible situations as well.
