Disappointed
So I'm a big horror fan and I also happen to have a fear of clowns, but I loved the way this film was hyped up and so I thought I might actually get a decent scare (which is rare with films these days), and so I went to the Cinema to watch it, the storyline is still kept there which I love however the film was very disappointing concidering the hype leading up to it, the film and storyline itself is brilliant, but zero scares at all.

Comedy value
Action adventure twist.
Laugh out loud funny.
The trailer didnt really do this film justice. I loved this film, and was unexpectedly funnier than I anticipated. Especially the bullet extraction scene. Also the, one liners were brilliant.

I watched this film twice in a short space of time, something I don't do unless I really like it.
Have been recommending it to all of my friends as a comic, laid back, gaming film. Should appeal to boardgame and escape room nerds like me too.

Utterly absorbing
Amazingly, Disturbingly, Darkly Delightful
A fabulously dark audio play, with brilliant actors and sound effects. Absorbing you in a disturbing series of 'recovered memories', which is married to a great storyline, all of which intertwine into an amazing tale of insane corporate malice, murder, satanism, anthropophagy, torture, sadism, and greed.
Dark, twisted, and in some places, truly disturbing, it's probably best not to listen to this right before bed. It is, however, pretty much a must listen for those who enjoy the darkest of dark fantasies.

Contains spoilers, click to show
I absolutely love Gavin and Stacey and was so excited for this Christmas special! I love that they used the same actor for Neill the baby as 10 years ago! I thought the episode was absolutely brilliant and I'm more angry at Smithy's new girlfriend for not allowing Bryn to tell us at what happened at the fishing trip, as I truly thought we were going to be told, than I am about her utter disdain for the family. I really hope that this is a lead on to another series!

Not enough iko uwais (0 more)
Just seen not the funniest movie I've seen this year but I did find it funny. Basically dave bautista plays the entire movie blind and kumali nanjiani plays his uber driver with disastrous results iko uwais plays the villian in my opinion underused brilliant in the raid movies but here not so much. The rest of the cast we're good even Karen Gillan who's only in the first five minutes of the movie. Would I watch again probably on DVD or blu ray

Interesting text book
This is a heavy but interesting read. I have actually studied it to death for an essay on hysteria. If any ladies have a secret desire that they might have liked to have lived in the Victorian period, this book might change your mind. Women were treated disgracefully. I think had I been around in the late Victorian period I would have been institutionalised and certifiably mad. Overall, good read for it's purpose but not for relaxation.

Under-rated band gets new lease of life
Bear Vs Shark are one of those bands, too heavy for the indie kids, too indie for the hardcore kids.

This is discordant indie rock with powerchords, or post hardcore to some. Indie gone punk. And it's done brilliantly. Here their first two albums get remastered and put on one disc. The gruff gravel vocals are raw and blistering and Buses No Buses is just an anthem. Brilliant band and so underrated

Was bored until the ending saved this movie
Movie was boring, in the beginning and almost til the end. Gathering the crew, making plans, walking around, pointless talking. I wanted to stop watching this movie in the middle, the only reason i kept going was because of the great actors, and because i loved Ocean's 8. The ending saved this movie. When it is revealed how everything was stolen, then it starts to get interesting. It turned out to be a brilliant plan.

Every teen should have this
Kids learning about sex is good. It's proven that those who do are more likely to be in healthy relationships, lose their virginity later and have less sexual partners.

I bought this for my son for him to learn at his own pace, it has everything a modern teen may want to know about as well as teaching the importance of positive relationships. If I was in government I'd make sure this got in the hands of every secondary school pupil.

Brilliant book presented in a fun and interesting way.
