I have to admit, this is one of my favorite films from this year, so far. It has you hooked right from the beginning. The different types of camera angles used gives it a more sort of fantasy feel. I loved the fact that they had different characters as well and their deaths were unsuspecting.

I was a little confused by the timeline, as I felt it should have been Victorian era rather than an "up-to-date" feel.



The only let down was that I felt that there had been too much CGI used, which was a disappointment, however, saying that, leaving it where it did, I hope that there will be a sequel.


Overall, a fantastic film and would definitely recommend watching.

Yet another fun mystery featuring Amelia Peabody. While I have to admit the mystery didn't interest me much, the repartee between the indomitable Amelia and Emerson, and Ms. Peabody's (or Mrs. Emerson's) narration, more than made up for it. Ramses can be amusing also, but he can be a bit too much sometimes, probably because he is too precocious and smart to be believed. How many languages does this five-year-old know? Although I do think this specific example is the whole point of these books and how they should be seen: as a farcical look on adventure books in the Victorian era, but that's just a guess. Also, the book was a bit too long and would have been a better book had thirty or so pages been taken out. However, Amelia and her exploits are still a fast and fun way to pass the time.
