Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Tully (2018) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
A mother of three hires a night nanny to help with her newborn.
Firstly, I'd like to say how impressed I am that the twist of this wasn't spoilt in anything that I saw before going to the film. I was pleasantly (?) surprised by it.
Tully was an interesting film, slightly awkward and quite emotional. It's a fairly niche movie though, and I can't see it appealing to a very large group of people.
I'm struggling to find a lot to say about this one. Definitely not an indication that I didn't like it, as is sometimes the case for my silence. It's just very difficult to sum it up.

Amazing artwork (2 more)
Horror based storyline
Great plot twists
Only one volume in the series (so far) (1 more)
The story leaves you on a cliffhanger but doesn't follow up with another installment
A great horror graphic novel.
It's a brilliant horror based storyline with a great twist on tradition witches (wytches). The artwork is dark enough to really add power to the story it accompanies.
Unfortunately though, the story leaves you on a cliffhanger which I would have loved if I knew there were going to be another installment to follow up on it.
Still, it's a great read and certainly one to add to the collection if you're a horror fan.

This book just made me cry and laugh and cry! I have to admit though I gave up on it the first time! I got 50 pages in and just did not have any desire to pick it back up again. Thank god I did! It was many months later but I told myself I must keep going! Just wow, I loved it, the characters were so very well written and their relationships are just magical. There is such a twist in the story which I won't mention, but I didn't see that coming at all. I just loved it, I have given it 4 stars because of the slow start!

The second of Simon Haynes 'Peace Force' series, set in the same universe as his 'Hal Spacejock' series (although, as of yet there has been no crossover), this is probably best described as a light sci-fi mystery read: science fiction because of the setting (obviously), and light in that I blew threw this in about two days flat, having already solved the mystery quite early on, with no real plot twist coming that I hadn't already seen.
I'll probably still pick up some more of these, though, not every read has to be a full-blown course: sometimes you just want a nice palate cleanser!

David McK (3557 KP) rated Salt (2010) in Movies
Sep 2, 2020
Twist turny spy action thriller, with an initially blonde Angelina Jolie taking on the role of Evelyn Salt, a CIA operative who has to go on the run for plot reasons.
And, once she does, the film hardly pauses for breath, hurtling from one set piece to another to another...
Angelina Jolie (in full own action girl mode) capably holds her own in this, with a supporting cast that included the likes of Liev Schrieber and Chiwetel Ejiofor (and a pre Brooklyn-99 Andre Braugher popping up in a small role), in a film that doesn't outstay its welcome and was seemingly made for more (as yet unmade) sequels!

I Am Your Daughter
The Others- is a great haunted house film that has a great twist at the end. Its scary, haunted, horrorfying, thrilling and terrorfying.

She awaits word on her missing husband while protecting her children from a rare photosensitivity disease that causes the sun to harm them. Anne claims she sees ghosts, Grace initially thinks the new servants are playing tricks but chilling events and visions make her believe something supernatural has occurred.
Its a excellent haunted house film.

You Must Forget
The Forgotten- is a good sci-fi, horror, mystery, suspense film. The cast is really good in it. Just the twist wasnt good.
The Plot: In "The Forgotten," Julianne Moore stars as Telly Paretta, a grieving mother struggling to cope with the loss of her 8-year-old son. She is stunned when her psychiatrist (Gary Sinise) reveals that she has created eight years of memories about a son she never had. But when she meets a man (Dominic West) who has had a similar experience, Telly embarks on a search to prove her son's existence, and her sanity.
Its a good movie.
