Three Reviews for the Price of One

Three Reviews for the Price of One: "Clooney was excellent and Bullock was ok, she did surprise me a bit. What the film does well is level of tension and emotion was palpable. Be warned there are a few sort of cheesy lines but forgivable. Well worth seeing in the cinema rather then at home. 9/10"

Three Reviews for the Price of One

Three Reviews for the Price of One: "I've just re-watched the first on DVD and, on reflection, it's actually fairly boring. This is much better though.

He surrendered to police nine days later and was eventually charged with attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment, and several firearms offenses. A jury found him not guilty of all charges except an illegal firearms possession count, for which he served two-thirds of a one-year sentence."

How many books do you have to sell to be a bestseller? : Jeffrey Krames

How many books do you have to sell to be a bestseller? : Jeffrey Krames: " The New York Times Non-Fiction printed list, it isn’t how many copies you have to sell, it is how many copies you have to sell within a given period of time—vs. all the other bestsellers—in this case a single week. Every so often a book seems to come from nowhere and leaps to the #1 spot on Amazon.com and The New York Times."
