Watched on Amazon prime I used to have fox news at one time on my sky box and knew of some of the people who read the news never knowing what was going on behind the scenes. On with the review not usually my cup of tea but it was rather good movie the stand out acting goes to Charlize Theron who plays Megyan Kelly at one point I thought it was Megyan Kelly and not Charlize Theron the rest of the cast is excellent do I would highly recommend the movie

More factually-oriented reimagining of Carry On Girls. As preparations for Miss World 1970 gather pace in London, the contestants get to know each other and consider their different backgrounds, while a group of feminist activists prepare to make a protest and sabotage the show.

The behind-the-scenes at the actual show is fascinating, occasionally thoughtful, and does a good job of showing just what an absurd and unpleasant anachronism Miss World was, even fifty years ago, all without labouring the issue. Unfortunately, all the scenes with the protestors are clompingly nuance-free and simplistic (NB I am not of the target demographic for this movie, probably; your mileage may vary). Nevertheless, a very fine performance from Gugu Mbatha-Raw, an enjoyable comic turn from Rhys Ifans, and at least the glimmerings of recognition that things aren't quite as one-sided as they sometimes seem keep it watchable.

"I was a teenager when I got into Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody was everywhere after it was on Wayne’s World. There’s so much joy in their music, a real not-giving-a shit-ness. It’s great to see them in this documentary being these normal, geeky people. You see all the mundanity that goes on behind the scenes of Freddie’s showmanship on stage, plus there’s the unexpectedness of hearing his gentle English accent. Then you hear him live, and see the sweat in his moustache, and it’s spine-tingling."

I wasn't sure how the author would be able to top the sense of suspense that came along with the weird mystery at the center of the first novel, but somehow he has done it. Even knowing the secret of what the town is, there is still plenty to discover about the things going on behind the scenes, and just how creepy they can get. The characters are still very engaging and the twists are still both plentiful and plausible, while the suspense keeps things moving along at a brisk pace. If you liked the 1st of the series, be sure to check this one out as well.

This was a great follow up to the 2014 film. Taking place shortly after the end of the first movie, we are able to see what happened to the characters. Brandy, still terrified and traumatized from the events of the first film is reluctant to continue her haunt adventures with her friends. The twist at the end of the movie is what made it work for me. This wrapped up the overall story well. I also love the uniqueness of the two movies. It's fun to get a "behind the scenes" look at haunted houses and events. It makes the story feel very real. 8/10 for me!
