Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall in Books

Feb 19, 2018

Perfect for younger young-adult readers. This reads like a classic Dickensian ghost story, plenty of creepiness but nothing that will keep a young reader awake at night! This story was very well told, and I enjoyed it even though it was written for a much younger audience.

Shockingly good

I love Robin Williams and I love the original so I was a little hesitant to see this, but they did SUCH a good job. It’s funny, updated and unique. Still a fan of the original, but I love this a nod to a classic.

Might be the greatest musical dancical ever!

The singing - the dancing - the chemistry - the songs.

Everything about this film is magical. I could watch over and over again.

I am not a dancer, but this film makes me want to learn. What a classic.

Donald O'Conner's Make 'Em Laugh scene is one of the best performances in all cinema. He was enormously talented and, arguably, even a better dancer than Gene Kelly. I love this classic movie. The storyline falls a bit flat with me but the singing and dancing can't be best.

David McK (3632 KP) rated Predator: Big Game in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Tie-in to the Predator comic of the same name (which I've never read), itself utilising the monster from the classic 1980s Arnie action movie.

Not the best book I've read, nor even the best Predator tie-in: it's pretty obvious where this is going right from the start.

Better than expected

A classic reborn
Will Smith does a great job as genie and made the character his own.
The new elements add comedy and extra romance to the tale.
A cute and sweet remake for a new generation

The dialogue sounded really unnatural - at times like a couple of five year old talking! Not a lot really happened in terms of the plot, I found it profoundly depressing and am struggling to see what the book is trying to say and why it's considered a classic.

JUMPCUT ONLINE (77 KP) rated Child's Play (2019) in Movies

Jun 30, 2019

It’s hard to touch the 1988 film, and in many ways this one doesn’t touch its mastery, but it makes its case as a proper remake. A true classic never goes out of style, but Klevberg delightfully reimagines it all together.

Cheesy in hindsight, but in just the right way.

We all know what we're going to get with a Nicholas cage film don't we really. But this is a classic. Beautiful cars and great chase sequences. A great crime caper.
