It's possibly even better than the first. Pacey, long but gripping, detailed and believable (just about) and a labyrinthian plot that fits together perfectly by the end. Like the final novel, there's a ramping up of activity and stress in the final third of the word and it only keeps getting higher and higher and.an absolutely jaw-dropping moment in the penultimate chapter that made me wonder if Larsson had actually done what it looked like he'd done. In various ways it felt more similar the last division of a trilogy, wrapping up plot threads left from the 1st word and people moving on. Which makes me wonder what on land the 3rd book will be like.Locke & Key: Keys to the Kingdom is still being brilliant. The collage of adventures in the latest issue makes me really want for a list even but of names of the discovered ones so far, and goes another step towards convincing me that there is a lot of depth in this conception that might never be fully explored. Even with upcoming TV series. Just want to convince Messers Hill and Rodriguez to deal the RPG rights to someone who'd do it justice. Went to see Despicable Me (2D version) at Vue's Kids AM this morn and wasn't disappointed. While there's nothing especially original about it, it was still fun and engaging enough for all of us with some great moments, perfectly delivered dialogue, and the children, minions and "hey, this is a 3D movie!" moments weren't at all annoying. The soundtrack was rather right too. All in all, one to buy on DVD as often for us as for the Terror. I look to be the sole person in Britain who continued watching The Case to the end, judging by the quantity of chattering on forums etc. I ground it quite fun - a lot faster moving and less frustrating than FlashForward was, although again slightly hampered by the (presumed) main characters being a bit.bland. And the villains a bit two-dimensional (obligatory humanisation of the female hit-person not withstanding). And the game moved along mostly obvious lines with only the occasional tweak that I didn't seem coming, and some startling revelations non-the-less. But I've been enjoying it, and promise it does give it back after the hiatus, but I'm hardly holding out hope for a 2nd season. Zeljko Ivanek is by far and off the best thing about it, by the way, and get to believe of it, I look to return thinking the like thing when watching 24 (way back in its inaugural season, wow). Another thing I've been catching up on on 4oD is Misfits. I get some catching up to do, as I wholly lost the 1st series and now the bit is finished too. Trying to avoid spoilers is.problematic, and therefore I love what happens to Nathan at the end of series one, but so far I've only actually watched the foremost three episodes. Blimey, it's a bit good. I don't know why I avoided it so long. Possibly the "youth" styling putting me off - I really should get paid more care to everyone saying, "no, actually, it's very good". And afterwards having the DVDs for,well, ages, I finally finished watching season one of The 4400. Another one where I knew the end-of-season twist in advance, but still fairly enjoyable. The characters are (gasp) actually likeable, and although the investigation-of-the-week mostly drags a slight and there's the usual "moody shots with sad background music" bit in every episode, it overall kept my worry and I probably won't wait another few days before opening the 2nd season boxset.
