Kind of like... Well... A pile of shit, actually
Well... Once again I delved into the world of the WalMart bargain bin and came out with another masterpiece of shite. Thankfully you only pay 2-5 bucks for these... So Im only out the price of a pack of ZigZag's.. No biggie.
Rip-offs come and go... Most of the time I can sniff them out from the poster or cover art.
This film was misleading by art standards. And I had no idea what to expect.
Bad people rob a bank... Bad people need a place to hide... Bad people pick an old slaughterhouse type place not realizing that they have landed in the middle of feeding time for some ancient evil who keeps a farmers crops plentiful and his cows full of... Well... Cow stuff...
This year he caught a wiff of the bad folks and went asshole hunting... What follows is your basic JEEPERS CREEPERS type shit that left me unsatisfied and... Well, not wanting more.
To quote the paperboy in Better Off Dead...
"I want my 2 dollars!!!!"
Try it if you must... But, be warned... It will tear your anticipation apart....
Lol... See what i did there :)

If The Mist, Jeepers Creepers and War of the Worlds had a baby
Tragic and very exciting, this film follows one family's attempt to live their lives without making a sound. If they do, they face immediate carnage form mysterious creatures who want to tear them apart.
It just goes to show a good filmmaker can create tension and keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat even without much dialogue. The film is very quiet (obviously) which make the louder scenes in stark contrast even more intense.
I enjoyed more than I thought I would. I say thriller certainly instead of horror.

Surviving isn't living, even for an Expendable. Mickey7's antimatter gambit paid off. He's out of...
I own Minecraft for many platforms, and while I love it, I have to say that the console versions are easier to manage. That being said, there's nothing quite like being able to mine for diamonds, work on crafting, or attempt to dodge the (potentially) lethal creepers on the go! For a while I was frustrated because the mobile version was so far behind other platforms (including even the Amazon app, and that's saying something!), but that error seems to be resolving itself these days. I am happy to see it making progress!
I haven't tried buying any skins yet, but as it is available on other platforms I assume it is available through the mobile app.
All in all, a fun game that is a little hampered by screen size, but definitely worth playing.

I know I've read the previous entry in this series ([book:Mickey 7|62030429]).
I know that was turned into a movie (haven't seen it).
I didn't remember all that much about it, other than it was a far-future set sci-fi and largely focused around the concept of 'An Expendable', i.e. a crew member whose job it was to die (doing all those jobs that machines can't do - think Spock's death in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan ) and then be 'downloaded' into a new replica body. Or, as the character of Mickey himself puts it: the metaphor of Theseus Ship.
(Or Triggers broom - he says he's always had the same broom but has changed the head twice and the shaft three times, or something similar).
This is the follow-up to that earlier novel, so it does require, maybe, a bit of background knowledge of the same. I'm not so sure, however, how *much* of that knowledge is needed - I reckon there are enough clues and context given to read this on its own, without having done so.
You will, however, be missing out on large parts of the background of the story, including just *why* Mickey has buried the anti-matter bomb where he has, and the first contact (for want of a better descriptor) with the Creepers of the planet on which this is set.

Fantasy Horror Book marketed for middle school/middle grades
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.
Katherine Arden is best known for her adult/young adult fantasy novel, The Bear and the Nightingale. With Small Spaces, Katherine Arden ventures into writing for middle school-aged children. This creepy horror book brought me back to my childhood where I stayed up late reading Lois Duncan, Richard Peck, and Joan Lowery Nixon. Those authors, among others, wrote horror books for children that were able to scare you without being gory.
The description of Small Spaces brought to mind the movie Jeepers Creepers 2 - a school bus full of children breaks down and they are in danger of something in the night/dark. That is where the similarities end. Arden teams up 3 students who are classmates but not friends. They leave the bus for the safety of the forest...
This story is tame compared to many of the horror movies children have seen in recent years. It is the innocence of the story while being scary and suspenseful that makes it such an interesting read.
Small Spaces is the first book in her Small Spaces series. The 2nd, Dead Voices, has a release date of August 27, 2019. I preordered it and will review it as soon as possible.
