GIVEAWAY: Win 1 of 3 copies of A Beautiful Way To Die by Eleni Kyriacou.
UK ENTRY ONLY
Given all the buzz around the Oscars, why not be in with the chance of winning one of three copies of A Beautiful Way to Die by Eleni Kyriacou, a true-crime inspired thriller influenced by Old Hollywood.
THREE WOMEN. ONE SHOT AT REVENGE.
Hollywood, 1954. At night, before we’re strapped to our beds, the nurses let us watch a film. We’re allowed a moment of make believe, as the faces of stars fill the screen.
Tonight, though, I recognise the man on screen. His name is written large above the title on the opening credits. Everyone knows him.
But I know him. I know that he likes his coffee strong and his women weak. I know that he owns the world yet is terrified of losing it. I know what happened on the night of the Oscars party.
And it’s time for me to get out of here and tell the world what he did.

Just saw Project Hail Mary – brilliant
Sinners
Sound of Falling was one of my top films the last year.
I really enjoyed Challengers
Kneecap was amazing
Films rarely appeal to me unless its a musical. Books over films every time for me.
Anatomy of a Fall was great
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
Hamnet
Bugonia was different but fab!
I swear was emotional.
I would recommend the Housemaid. It was really enjoyable.
Just watched I Swear an excellent film
I’m not a film person at all…books all the way! The last film I watched was Barbie (and it was amazing!)
liked Jurassic Park Rebirth
West Side Story, but i loved the original too.
The sinners was so good
I really enjoyed Wicked: For Good, nice bit of escapism!
The Ballad of Wallis Island
The Sinners – it was equal to all the hype
I haven’t been to a movie theatre for several years but I re-watched Groundhog Day recently and found it just as amusing as the first time.
EPiC, the Elvis Presley ‘concert’
I don’t watch many films but the last one I enjoyed was “Oppenheimer”. I would like to see “H is for Hawk” too.
I’m not a big film fan, I prefer getting lost in a book!
Hamnet
I absolutely loved The Sinners, I hadn’t read any reviews before watching so had no idea what the real story was all about.
Loved Hamnet with all its emotion.
Shelter was a good film
H is for Hawk, very moving
Shelter love it
Predator Badlands – great fun
Hamnet. I loved it.
Having read the book, I was not disappointed .
One Battle After Another
Hamnet
Hamnet is every bit as good as they say.
I enjoyed Hamnet though it was a tough watch
I’m afraid I don’t go to the cinema BUT I do record a lot of films from the TV. Have just watched The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry – I can remember reading the book a some time ago.
Hamnet
The Bride. Gloriously bonkers
F1 a really great film of the sport
Its F1, a real good job of capturing the sport
Just watched ‘I Swear’ brilliant film, amazing acting – did make me cry all the way through though! x
Sinners – Delighted to see success at the Oscars
I have rated Eternity it is a great film and lovely to watch and although is a romcom is nice to think about the reality of the universe and what happens next. Love it and would recommend a watch.
I would recommend Cocaine Bear and is based in a true story.
Nuremberg
Wuthering Heights – a little strange at times but a good watch overall!
Hamnet
I’m afraid I haven’t seen a film for years, I prefer the pictures in my head when I read a book!
Bridget Jones- mad about the boy – this series is always a good watch . I don’t watch many films as always reading
It Was Just an Accident
If you are interested in justice this film is for you
Rush, I just love F1
Hammet such an emotional film
I really liked Shelter starring Jason Statham.
