Knee Deep In The North Sea - Portico Quartet

IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA

Advantages: Great cast, lots of action, very realistic (blood, sharks, death, etc)
Disadvantages: Weak story, not too many features

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water……. Deep Blue Sea comes back and hits you with another shark story. This time the sharks are getting smarter, and with no natural predators they are doing pretty well. In a search to cure the disease of Alzheimer’s scientist have discovered a way to alter sharks brains, so they produce a protein that encourages brain neurons in humans to being functioning again. Unfortunate to make enough protein for humans, the sharks have grown in size (up to 18 foot), and as another side effect the sharks are getting smarter. The whole experiment is set in an abandoned second world war submarine refueling depot in the Pacific Ocean. When a tropical storm, combined with an accident to one of the members of the crew, a disaster results in the three test sharks escaping ...

Wife in the north

Advantages: Some humour
Disadvantages: Not much happens

As a wife in Northumberland myself, I was keen to read Judith O?Reilly?s book, wife in Northumberland. I had seen the book for sale in Waterstones but thought I would borrow it from my local library. There was a long waiting list (obviously others wanted to read a book with a local connection) After a wait of 3 weeks I was very keen to start reading!

This sounded like my kind of light read. However this book was not what I had been expecting. There is a lot of humour but it is also a very poignant and moving book. The book is written in diary form and plots Judith?s reluctant move from London to north Northumberland. The opening entry describes ...

Review of Wife in the North - Judith O'Reilly

It's Just A Deep Blue Sea

Advantages: Good twists in the story, A few comedy moments
Disadvantages: Under Use of SLJ

I always seem to end up watching films when there on Sky that look a bit crap but more often and not they turn out to be a decent film. Well Deep Blue Sea is one of those films. Probably part of the reason I ended up watching it was the fact Samuel L Jackson takes a staring role, and being a fan of most of his films, cause he has done some that are awful, I sat down to watch this. So what’s it all about, well a team of scientists lead by Dr. Susan McCallister (Saffron Burrows) are conduction studies on Sharks on an observation platform in the middle of the Ocean. The aim of the research is to try and find a cure for Alzheimer’s and to do this they have enlarged the size of the Shark’s brain. Now Russell Franklin (Samuel L Jackson), a millionaire funding the project has decided to fly in for the weekend ...
