Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child

So, I had read everything my favorite authors had in print. Needing something to read, I had no choice but to try an author I had not read. Gone Tomorrow, a 2009 Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child was on sale, so I grabbed it. Soon I was inside the head of Jack Reacher, the enigmatic main character of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series and protagonist of the 2012 movie, Jack Reacher, starring Tom Cruise.

Riddick - K

I am now terrified of looking forward to another movie ever again.  Riddick is just one more movie this year that’s been at least slightly disappointing.  That said, Riddick is not a bad movie, it’s just not Pitch Black. 

Mortal Instruments - K

When they first announced Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace in The Mortal Instruments I wondered who was thinking what...this scrawny, blonde kid playing a a lonely, but tough and loyal, boy, I didn't see it.  Lily Collins as Clary, Robert Sheehan as Simon and the rest of the crew, I totally could envision (although I did have doubts - still do - about Kevin Zegers as Alec), but I seriously was thinking that Jamie playing Jace would throw the entire movie for me.  Boy, was I wrong.
