Contraband

Contraband is one of those ridiculous action films that you feel guilty liking. I actually enjoyed this one a lot. It is directed with a lot flair and it was very entertaining, however not really a good film.

The Frighteners

The Frighteners has very good actors and great special effects however the story and how it is told did not work for me.

Anne of Green Gables (2016)

Anne of Green Gables was a book for some reason I never got aroung reading until Rachel MacAdams read it and it was on sale or something in audible and I loved it. This film did not do it justice however depicted some moments in the book very well. I didn't like the actress playing Anne either. She acted very nicely but for some reason did not work for me. I have cried a lot during this viewing as I did with the book, more due to the story than the rest.  

Ravenheart

Ravenheart I got for 3 USD at San Fransisco airport and I LOVED it to bits. Cried rivers towards the end. I can't wait to read Stormrider the next novel in the series. David Gemmel is a great story teller.

Christadora

Christadora after a series of mystery novels which I all liked (it is a genre I love after all) I started this one and I almost dnfed it for a few times. However I stuck with it and liked it overall despite it being an uneven reading experience for me. Some parts of it got really emotional and some parts of it got me bored. However it tells the story of an important period in history and how various people have coped with it. And the cause and effect of addiction also played heavily. 

The Girl On The Train (2016 film)

The Girl On The Train well, the book was better of course however this film is just not good. There is no energy to it despite having the type of cinematography I really like. I can't seem to warm up to Emily Blunt though despite the fact that she looks like a very nice person in real life (that's what I gathered from the interviews) and she is a good actor but for some reason I can't enjoy any of her performances. I hope that this will change eventually (I now love Scarlett Johansonn so anything is possible I suppose). 

About Last Night

About Last Night turned out to be a remake of the 80s film with the same title. I only watched it because I like Kevin Hart. And I enjoyed the bits with him.
