Uncharismatic megafauna. Too fat to ride a horse, too poor to own a carriage. Buy my book, keep me off the streets: http://bit.ly/JMgibbons

A new addition ('The Woman in Cabin 10') to the surprisingly extensive Keira Knightley library, for people who only want to read books with Keira Knightley on them.
15 different books, all (but one) movie or TV tie-in titles, all with Keira Knightley on the cover.

Re the sound effects: it's always thundering even when the weather is clear; when a woman gets into a bath the sound of bubbles is so over-done it sounds as though she has terrible flatulence; the chase at the end has as many ricocheting bullet noises as 20 Westerns.

A Woman Kills (dir. Jean-Denis Bonan, 1968): sometimes visiall striking, but also very pretentious, exploitative and annoying. Dodgy acting and OTT sound effects, plus some of the most awful, lugubrious songs on the soundtrack. It wants to be PSYCHO, but it's more an ambitious, bad student film.

Never understand the "I've done something colossally stupid, now let's parade for the media as though I'm a hero!" mentality.

I have tried and tried with him, but the only thing of his I'd save from oblivion is The Mist, and even that has problems.

Way better than it had any right to be: tight, well-acted, moving and clever

Oh, he's awful. Such a hacky, half-arsed, unfunny, folksy, can't-do-a-decent-ending-for-shit, unedited merchant of schlock.

Oddly enough I never tried this, though I can't imagine it would have actually worked.
From a book: "A few evenings later he came to see her again and asked her if she would come to his rooms so that he could show her his books."

YES! And they're also ugly, too, wrecking cover art with plops of useless text.
