The Story of Cirrus Flux - Matthew Skelton

With Or Without You - Carole Matthews

Advantages: Amazing story, paints a great picture, believable characters!
Disadvantages: None!!!!!!

don't trust Dean, I think he's trouble and I think his Himalayas mountain man is a clever act he uses to entice women into bed. But as the story progresses he does become more genuine, I do start beliving in him a little more, but I don't think he is described enough. Normally I can get a picture of a character in my head, but with Dean I can't. I like to able to see a character. Dean becomes more likeable as he goes on, although he doesn't change like all of the other characters in the book, he stays the same, but he does become more likelable as we understand him more. The book is really very good, as with all of her other books and Belinda Jones books (who Matthews is very much like), the story really paints a picture of the scene for the reader and in this book, you feel your in Nepal with Lyssa with the wonderful descriptions by ...

Review of With Or Without You - Carole Matthews

Not enough flex in the flux

Advantages: Decent enough in places; Theron's wardrobe!
Disadvantages: No oomph at all; more like an episode of a TV series than a film

I've been putting off watching Aeon Flux for a while, although I'm not too sure why. It probably had something to do with the negative feedback it gained after promising so much. Adapted from a sci-fi series in the early 1990s and starring Charlize Theron, who is usually on fire on screen, I was surprised when it got slated, but last night, with the wife round at a friend's house and son William tucked up in bed, I thought I'd give it a go. The plot is far fetched, but then it's sci-fi fantasy. In the year 2011, a virus kills 99% of the World's population. Dr Goodchild creates a vaccine, and takes the remaining 5 million inhabitants to a safe location to try and reconstruct humanity. 400 years later, the Goodchilds have continued to run the government and improve things, but now there is a small gang of fighters known as the Monicans ...

What the Flux?

Advantages: Graphics/Action
Disadvantages: Everything Else.

What the flux went on here? When i went to the cinema to watch this, i was quite excited. Charlize Theron for a start, doing acrobatics in a tight leather outfit, a futuristic fantasy utopia with a disenchanted leader (Trevor Goodchild). Yes it sounds much the same as many other films in the genre, but they are generally ok aswell. From the start i could feel that it wasn't going to be the best film i had seen all year, not by a long shot. The story follows Aeon Flux, a member of a rebel group named the 'Monicans' in the city of 'Bregna'. Her sister is kidnapped and killed by the ruling factor of Earth's last remaining city. This is not an uncommon occurence and happens regularlt around the city. Aeon and the rest of the rebels are trying to stop this. Aeon is commanded by her leader to assassinate the leader of the city ...
