What's more terrifying...
What you can't see,
Or what you can't remember?

Since her divorce, Kendall Madison has been in over her head. Between trying to make ends meet, raising three kids, and hunting ghosts,
Kendall just can't seem to find balance in her life. When she finally lands a job right up her alley, she hopes it’s a sign for better things ...

Brilliant!! So many books write their female leads to be hot single women this was so refreshing to have a female lead with a normal life, the daily struggles as a parent, then she kicks ass in the supernatural world too. It was so well written and such an enjoyable read. I'm definitely rooting for Malcolm in this one and can't wait to discover more now Kendall has her memories back!

Fantasy island, a new holiday destination where all your dreams come true but careful what you ask for as every fantasy can take a turn for the worse or turn out completely different to how you had hoped.
Perfect story to get lost in if you can keep up with all the different scenarios! Brilliant idea and such entertainment brilliant film from start to finish with a cheesy American twist at the end, although it worked well I half hoped for a different twist, maybe from a mother looking for revenge. I really enjoyed the way they brought every character together and show how they all linked in with the film, Don't want to go into too much detail, wouldn't want to ruin it for others, on the whole really good watch highly recommend.

Loved this one growing up!!

Brilliant film with all the right gore horror twist and turns!!

A mysterious man approaches a boat salvaging group and puts across an offer they can't refuse they all head out to find a big abandoned ship, everything goes to plan they find the boat but it doesn't make sense with the main actress seeing a little girl around the ship you soon figure out something definitely isn't right. The crew start dying and the story unravels with a very dark and gripping story line. Watching it again for probably about the 7th time I noticed what the bad guy says at the end about he was a sinner and he has been given a job to collect the souls, explaining why everything is happening. Amazing film good actors and brilliant story line!! This is a must watch!!!!!

Enjoyed the final chapter of the Infinty Saga. Definitely a fitting end. (4 more)
Jake Gyllenhaal (probably spelt it wrong) is brilliant as Mysterio.
Very amusing! Daughter loved the quips from MJ.
No spoilers here... But the scene when spidey gets disorientated... Loved it! Very cleverly executed.
As usual: some great call backs to characters from precious marvel movies.
None. No criticism! (0 more)
Thank you Smash Bomb!
Received the DVD from Smash Bomb giveaway. Super pleased to have won it. Delivered really quickly as well.
The film itself... I watched it at the cinema and even though I'd already seen it, like most marvel movies, was more than worth another watch.
Storyline was great to finish off the infinity Saga.
Actors were brilliant. Especially loved Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio.
Enjoyed the callbacks to previous marvel movies and felt the film was executed brilliantly.

Bridesmaids (2011)
Bridesmaids (2011)
2011 | Comedy

"Bridesmaids. It is hands-down… That’s like the funniest movie that I’ve seen in a very long time. Girls Trip was really funny the other day. I loved that; I saw Girls Trip in my hotel room. Bridesmaids, I remember laughing out loud in the theater, like dying laughing over it. I mean, to watch how all of the actors interact, and the improv, and I love that they interact the way that my girlfriends and I interact. There’s a specific realness to it that I thought was depicted so well and I loved it so much. And I mean, we get to watch Melissa McCarthy in her Academy Award Nominated performance. I mean, she’s genius, she’s brilliant, and Kristen Wiig — all of them, every single actor in that movie is brilliant. I just loved that movie."

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
2006 | Fantasy

"I don’t think I would name films as much as I would name filmmakers. You have to have a Frank Capra movie, you’d have to have a John Ford movie, and you’d have to have a Steven Spielberg movie in there. And then as a specific film, Pan’s Labyrinth would have to be in my Top Five. Because what Gabriel García Márquez was to fiction, that movie is to cinema. It’s magical realism, and it’s something that can only exist cinematically. It cannot be confused with any other medium. That makes it the perfect film. It’s also unlike anything you’ve ever seen before or will see again, it’s completely unique and not derivative, and it’s brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Setting fascist Spain — or fascist anything, for that matter –against this fantasy world created by this perfect, pristine, beautiful, pure girl."

"This is the easily the best album of the last 10 years. I saw him recently, in London with Hot Chip, and it was absolutely fucking brilliant. James Murphy can do no wrong, and being an unlikely front man shouldn’t be any reason to stop you from being one. He just makes me think "I wish I’d thought of that. I wish I’d written that song." It can be hard to mix dance and alternative rock, but he does it brilliantly. I see a connection between what we did as New Order and what he does. The sad thing is, we were playing a tour in France with New Order and LCD were there, and they were all there on laptops. I saw them and thought, 'Should I go over and say I think you’re fucking brilliant?' And I decided: no."
