I've always had fond memories of watching this movie as a child. Listening to the audio book narrated by Wilem Dafoe (who did great job, although the voices for Bethany and Rudy were extremely irritating) was pretty great overall. My biggest criticism is that a couple of the male characters stand out as exceptionally competent while the females are weak and needy, and it makes things feel a little imbalanced. I rewatched the movie after finishing it, and although the effects don't hold up that well, give it a shot anyway!

Not as good as I thought it would be
I was expecting greater things from a movie based on a book from Stephen King and Joe Hill.
Was a really slow start with a lot of shouting, but the acting was great from most of the characters. The middle of the movie picked up a bit and got me interested and then the ending arrived and just confused everything. I can kinda make sense of some of it, but it left too many questions that I don't even want the answers to.

Heartbreaking and Heartwarming
I picked up this book, because I loved The Fault in our Stars. I thought this would be similar and decided to give it a try. Over all the two books were very different from each other. Stella has a lot going on, and a need to be in control of her life. Her backstory is great, and all of the characters were equally well thought out. This was a great read, and I'm looking forward to the movie.

Average.
Skinwalker Ranch is a very scary place. A bunch of scientists went to investigate it and what they witnessed was insane (go listen to Astonishing Legends if you want to know more). The movie takes that concept and turns it into an average silly horror film when in fact if they simply followed the story in the book of actually events you would be more scared, instead it's all a bit meh.

"This is a very odd book that I love to complete bits. I read somewhere that the movie Groundhog Day is based on it. It’s about a guy who gets the chance to live his life over again so he can correct his mistakes. This miraculous do-over works as long as he remembers that he is living his life over again, and doesn’t just keep rationalizing his mistakes. Guess what happens."

When Maurice Sendak passed away, I thought it would be only appropriate to review what arguably, is his best children's book. "Where the Wild Things Are" captured the hearts of so many people - both young and old. It is so much loved that they had to make a movie out of it (unfortunately). You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/07/18/wild-and-crazy-love-for-children/
