Emotional!
Contains spoilers, click to show
I binge watched the tv series and thought it was epic. Really hits you in the feels.

So, naturally I had to read the book as well and compare the two. They’re both amazing, as always the books better but that’s just my opinion.

The story about the tapes and what happened in the run up to the girls suicide really being up a variety of emotions.

This was an incredible suspense/mystery with abit of sexual tension thrown in. The chemistry between the two main characters was really well developed as were the characters themselves. The complexity of their relationship had as many twists and turns as the plot. What makes a book great in this genre for me is not being able to predict what will happen and Hunter definately achieved that with this story.

A good film some may find hard to follow, due to different timelines. However it makes for a pretty good thriller and although it didn't end as expected, it probably made the film better for being different.
I thought Sandra Bullock was great in this and having watched Miss Congeniality 2 a few days before, it just goes to show she can do comedy, action or drama equally well!

This show has been quite excellent as of yet. The casting was absolutely perfect with Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf, the Baudelaires are also cast very well. The directors managed to keep many of the details from the series, a quality I appreciate as it preserves my childhood memories of the book. Lemony Snicket is a nice change from the other shows that are being made nowadays.

Not bad
Not the biggest Vin fan; but this was a good part for him- lots of action, not too many lines. That being said everyone played their plays well. The cinematography was good with some really cool effects and high intensity action scenes. This one the whole family can watch as it doesn't have much gore or anything and there language is kept pretty clean. Worth a watch.

"Agnès Varda is my cinema hero. Vagabond presented a new way of thinking about film form for me. Varda took a very bold approach to the way that she told this story, mixing forms and styles to create a fuller picture of a human being who is invisible to the world, a stranger to everyone, even to herself—begging the ultimate question of how well we ever really know someone."
