James Stewart is brilliant. Bloody brilliant. As a political science major and buff, watching this film was so satisfying, especially in a time like this. If only our entire government was full of men like Jefferson Smith, I wonder how different it would look. He is kind and honest and truly just wants the best for the countries citizens and it radiates, unlike anything I've ever seen before. Stewart is the standout, no question about it.

I think this is a film everyone should watch and it's absolutely worth it. I can't say too much about the actual film itself without spoilers but I will say that I would find it hard to believe if anyone regretted watching this film. If they did, I'd love to meet them. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is a masterpiece if I've ever seen one.

Good horror
Personally thought this was a brilliant horror with all the right actors and actresses.

Good horror film about a little girl who's parents want to send her to hell. renee zellweger is the brilliant leading actress in this film she is given a case to go and serve as child protection when she realises the horrors that this little girls mum and dad want to do they are put away and she becomes the guardian. All is not as it seems as this demonic girl reeks havoc on her life bending her and taunting her to get her own way and suddenly people around them start to get hurt!! Good build up during the film a few jump scares, if you looking for a messed up film to get lost in this one is highly recommended!

Amazing Sfx
Very funny!
Hammer time!
This film was an absolute blast! Packed with action, lots of characters crammed in and very funny throughout. It's such a stark contrast compared to the last Thor film. It has a great blend of elements from the Avengers films and similar in style to the Guardians of the galaxy films. Don't miss it!

There is folk that wants to whisper in your ear, and then there is the music of Lankum: urgent, desperate and detonating, full of lyrics and sounds smacking together like waves shattering stones in a storm.

Fantastic!
This is by far 1 of the best books I've read, it is a book I recommended to everyone especially as it's not 'normally' to my taste.
The style in which it it's written is also brilliant not many writers can pull it off especially at this level!
You will feel that you really know the characters by the end.
A gripping read!

Brilliant from start to finish. A fast paced easy to read book that I had to read in one go to find out what happened. Lisa, Qunicy and Samantha are all sole survivors of separate massacres and that is why they are called the final girls.

An Interesting and Unique International Film
I went into this film not sure what to expect and boy I was not disappointed. The story was original, the aliens were unique, and it was set in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is very refreshing to see such a good international film, as I have not had much luck with them in my time. Simply brilliant film, highly recommend!

A Wild Time
Disney animation movies are getting almost as good as Pixar's. As a follow up to Frozen, Disney knock it out of the park again in terms of producing a brilliant kids movie that people of any age can enjoy. Amazing animation, a tight script and well implemented voice acting make for another modern classic kid's movie.

I did enjoy this film, half way through I still hadn’t figured out what was going on, which I liked.

I thought the acting was brilliant and very believable. However I felt that it ended very abruptly, the film told an elaborate story with frequent twists, but the ending was very sudden.

This series started off a bit darker than series three, and the whole humor angle seemed to have disappeared but wait until episode five, it is absolutely brilliant. It is done in black and white and reflects the old black and white horror movies and everything is spot on, the lighting, sets. Even if you don't watch the whole series just watch this episode.
