I first read this in 1986 and have read it many times during the years but have thought of it more. It gives me a sense of hope that I cannot obtain from real life. It's always good to slip back into the Timeshadow Rider.....

"I’m late to this party but my life is immeasurably improved with the presence of this sunny, good-spirited TV show about regular people with very special skills. Quite literally a show I can watch with the whole family and talk about for hours later."

Are You Going to The Island?
A film with a plot that has scary amounts of real-life potential, but if you haven't seen it I won't spoil the surprise ;) The Island is fast-paced, action-packed, and has a side of romance ;) A very good futuristic sci-fi.

Idea before its time when people were not aware that Big Brother was watching you. There is a question at the end - does he meet the girl? Good Film and though provoking as it is being more and more real life now with all the social media around.

All good. Very clever use of the vast catalogue of songs from Bernie & Elton. The story of Elton John's life flows effortlessly. Great performance from Taron, you forget that it's not Elton John - the highest compliment!! Was not sure what to expect, but enjoyed it.

Space?!
Good if not in top gear
Another decent entry which ticks the Fast & Furious check list set by the recent entries. Good to see more of the Fast cast of previous films on show here. There are some good chase scenes in various locations around the globe. We also get a peak at Dom's early life.
On the down side some of the cast deserve more screen time, also feels quite different not having the Rock in this entry.
The franchise in recent entries has had crazy stunts and this has some again which seem far fetched even by the usual standards. Even sending cars into space now.
It will satisfy fans of the series as a whole, even if it's not quite as good as some of the other films. Hopefully Fast 10 will combine the best elements of the franchise altogether to get back on track.

The setting description in this book was amazing but it was the characters that really made this story. The main characters of Sara and Sam were well developed and the secondary characters added life to the small community. The way the relationship developed had a good flow. I really look forward toreading more books by Patricia Evans Jordan.

Actors bring this classic comic book adaptation to life and give it a good story backing. (0 more)
The fight scenes are under choreographed and it shows in the miniature mistakes. (0 more)
Heaton is on point as Nicholson gives good account
In an era where comic adaptations are starting to become a thing again, this attempt at barman leaves little to imagination. Both Keaton and Nicholson give extremely good performances on what was a fairly lacklustered storyline. All a bit predictable. That being said, the performance of Nicholson took it above and beyond.
