A nice pacy thriller
Contains spoilers, click to show
I enjoyed this interesting thriller after discovering it on Netflix. The brilliant Naomi Rapace is in great form as the bodyguard assigned to protect the daughter of a rich man whose company is bidding to buy land that is also being bid on buy another rival firm. Lots of action and plot twists make this well worth watching as the two of them must fight against the odds to uncover who is behind the conspiracy and assassination attempts on the girl.

Lots of fun!
I was a fan of the first Transformers movie, but they got a little too over the top after a while. This one brought the fun back. Interesting characters, cool effects and a decent storyline. I didn't even mind John Cena in this one(not a big fan). Everything played out well and I really enjoyed it being set in the 80s. The action was intense and not overdone like some of the other transformers movies. I highly recommend this one for the whole family. Worth a watch!

Quite funny
Surprisingly good
I thought the worst when I first saw this film was being made about the 70's cop show. I never saw the TV series but often these films are a let down.
So it was a nice surprise this was actually quite funny, had some good action scenes and felt like it had a decent budget. Nothing amazing but good enough for a nights viewing. Starring and Directed by Dax Shepard with a role for his wife Kristen Bell as well.

I do not really now how I feel about this book. Though I can feel about being afraid of something or for the Mel and Katie in their situation. But I did learned that you do need to let your burrens to the lord and let me guide you and do has is will. I have hoping and praying that he will bring that person to me as well. I do hope you read this series if you have not I would and then again either way I hope you enjoy it.
This was a really interesting novel. I normally don't read contemporary books, so I was pleasantly surprised when I picked this one up. This novel follows a girl who likes to call herself Egg, after a character in a science fiction movie that she loves. It follows her transformation from a girl who cares about nobody to a girl who genuinely enjoys being around her friends. I gave this a four star rating because there were a few parts that were slow, but all in all, it was very well written!

John Cena's acting. (1 more)
The weird sex scenes.
Let's be real here ... American Pie is still the best for raunchy humor. Everything beyond that falls short in comparison. And when they cast people who can't act well, it makes even the good parts bad. If you like typical frat humor, helicopter parenting, and mediocre plot lines .. this might be right up your alley. I gave it five out of ten but that's being gracious. I could have gone my whole life without seeing this film and that would be perfectly fine.

I enjoyed this comic having never seen any of Dana Simpson's work before.
I have not been reading graphic novels for long but I do enjoy a fun story that has been cleverly coloured and well written artwork. I liked the flow of Ozy and Millie and will be searching out further work by Dana Simpson.
The forward makes reference to this being some of Dana Simpson's early work and that newer comics have improved with time - I liked this and don't see where the improvements could be made.

I received this book for free for an honest review.
A collection of poetry, words of wisdom and short stories, all surrounding the subject of a relationship gone wrong, and through the healing process. After a short prologue poem the first item of prose is called “A Shiner” … a hard hitter in more way that one.
There was one or two small grammatical things I saw, but that's just me being a bit picky as it was not enough to take away from the heart-string pulling writing.
Well worth a read

Kurt Cobain is at his literal best (1 more)
They play more than just their own music giving the album a diverse sound
This is the ultimate unplugged experience, being challenged only by maybe Alice in Chains. Kurt Cobain is at his literal best. His voice is so powerful throughout the album as he takes on Nirvana classics as well as covers of songs that inspired him, from David Bowie to the Meat Puppets and more. Nirvana Unplugged is essential listening for any rock fan, especially fans of grunge and 90s Alternative.

"It is impossible to be unhappy while reading the adventures of Jeeves and Wooster. And I've tried." - Christopher Buckley
The above quotation sums it up pretty well, actually!
With a plot involving the usual romantic shenanigans that sees Bertie Wooster getting (unwillingly) engaged and then trying to get out of it, with it being up to Jeeves - as always - to sort matters out and bring the various of Bertie's friends back together again. This is the one with Edwin the boy scout, and with Wooster getting engaged to Florence Craye.
