Devilishly Angelic
I was a little nervous about this one as the book it's based on is one of my all time favourite reads. However, I was very pleasantly surprised with this mini series, of course this is down to Neil Gaiman being involved in the whole project meaning that it remained true to the original material. The actors were well chosen and the young cast portraying Adam and his friends were a true pleasure to watch. All in all a great weekend watch that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I'm not sure how I stumbled across this film but I am glad I did. It's not very well known but considering the cast includes Jared Padalecki (Sam from Supernatural), Lindy Booth and even Jon Bon Jovi amongst others, as well as being made fairly recently it deserves better publicity! It has a good plot, good acting and a good twist too. It's not that scary to be honest and won't satisfy gore fans but otherwise an all round enjoyable film. Similar to Urban Legend, Scream and another slasher but I won't name it as it'll give the twist away!

Amazing film
Don't be put off thinking this is just another cheesey chick flick, that would be an unjust insult. This is a very well made film with a great story of true love standing the test of time. The acting, score, cinematography and the 40's theme costumes and sets really show this is a very well produced film. It might be obvious from early on what is going to happen but it doesn't stop the journey being any less fun. If you liked the romance side of Titanic and Pearl Harbour you will like this a lot.

Well executed plot
Very real emotions
Get your tissues ready
I really enjoyed this movie and being able to connect with the main character. This movie was executed well and played off characters strengths and weaknesses wonderfully, highlighting how body issues are felt by everyone. Some of the subplots and supporting roles could have been developed further, and further insight into the main characters feelings would have solidified this movie a little bit more.

Overall, a sweet movies with a great message that will leave its target audience a more than a little weepy.

Nice location (0 more)
Falls flat (0 more)
A thriller I never got around to seeing back at the time. It starts well enough with 2 young kids going to live with their guardians after their parents are in an accident. Although are their guardians as nice as they think they are? It starts to unravel quite well with new bits of information being discovered, quite an intricate web of deceit. Just as it all builds up towards the finale it has an ending that feels rather rushed and not fitting the rest of the film. Could have been better. Currently on Amazon prime.

"Do I get pretentious? Because this is foreign. {laughs] I love that German film from a few years ago that won the Oscar, The Lives of Others. Such a great movie. I’ve seen it a bunch, and I own it. I love, love, love that movie, and I found that it was just intensely riveting and scary and beautiful and so well crafted, so well plotted as a movie. And such a sad comment on a time in a certain country, but also a really beautiful comment on people being altered and finding their humanity again. I thought that movie was really special."
