  1. The Next Three Days - I like it but too long with some un-neccesary scene that didn't move the story forward. 7.5 out of 10
  2. Battle Los Angeles The film is a mixture of Black Hawk Down, District 9 and Independence Day. I really enjoy the action though at times it was like watching Cloverfield because the camera was moving too fast for you to see anything. You won't get much acting or plot but if you want action then you should enjoy it. 7/10
  3. Finished Killing Floor by Lee Child yesterday. It was amazing. There were a couple flaws but who cares right. The story was great and I started Die Trying yesterday. 4.5/5
  4. I would say yes. The authors I like tend to have really great work in the beginning then they tend to slide downhill after that for whatever reason.
  5. Unstoppable - I enjoyed it and as usually Denzel was solid. I don't know how much of the story is true but it was a good edge of your seat thriller. 8/10
  6. That is one of Baldacci's weaker effort. If you are looking for Baldacci's best work I recommend The Winner, Absolute Power or Simple Truth. If you are looking for a good mystery I recommend Michael Connelly's The Poet, Robert Crais's L.A. Requeim or Jeffery Deaver's The Bone Collector.
  7. I started reading Lee Child and his books are great. I would add that to the recommendation list.
  8. Thanks for the welcome. I love books and love talking about it.

  9. I'm half way through The Killing Floor and really enjoying it. It's my first Jack Reacher novel and it won't be my last.
  10. Eternal Night by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan (The final book in 'The Strain' Trilogy) ~ October 2011 Fifth Witness - Michael Connelly
  11. Sorta new here but glad to be part of this forum. I love mystery and my favorite authors are Michael Connelly, David Baldacci, Robert Crais, Michael Crichton, and Jeffery Deaver.
  12. Fast Five Thor Transformers 3 X-Men: First Class Battle Los Angeles The Lincoln Lawyer Sucker Punch Kung Fu Panda 2 Cowboys and Aliens Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
  13. I saw I am Number Four over the weekend. It was okay. 6/10 I'm currently reading the book.
  14. The Social Network - good movie. The kid was annoying at times. 8/10
  15. I'm on a waiting list for this book. I'm going to read it soon. I've read that they are making a movie out of this with Steven Speilberg either producing or directing.
  16. I read the first book but for some reason I haven't started the second one yet. I really enjoyed the first one a lot.
  17. Maybe I read the wrong book from him but I read The Law of Four (or was it nine) and I wasn't too impressed with it.
  18. I think you shouldn't give up on Tess Gerristen yet. Her books are very good and I personally like Gravity alot.
  19. Which book should I start with? Thank you. I looked John Sandford and the Lucas Davenport sounds good to me. It will be my next read as soon as I finish what I'm reading now.
  20. I used it for all my books and I check out all the new DVD releases too. No Netflix or Redbox for me!
  21. I'm a big fan of whodunit that has police and detectives putting clues together to find the serial killer. I love Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, Jeffery Deaver and one of Jefferson Parker's Blue Hour and looking for something similar to these.
  22. I read that one and it wasn't one of his best. I just finished The Sleeping Doll recently and it was okay at best. I will give him credit that he doesn't do a lot twists and turns which at times ruin the book for me.
  23. I'm trying not to brag but I figured the ending halfway through the book so I kept reading to see if I was right and sure enough I was but still a good book nonetheless.
