An interesting development to the dark materials trilogy. The first half is far superior, with some rather peculiar elements and a disjointed feel to the flood at times.

Favourite of the two sequels very dark with elements of comedy thrown in. Mount as good as the original but it's up there. Amelia kincade is back as angela and is just as scary thanks to the makeup effects. Overall good sequel

One of the primary reasons for my rating here is my adoration of the cast. The story itself isn't unique, though some elements are. Michael Shannon delivers a stirring performance that actually makes you empathetic to his sordid actions. Nicholas Hoult delivers a dark performance that seems nearly relatable at times. Slight Mad Max (Mel Gibson version) vibe to the whole thing.

I have to say that I think that a lot of the scenery was the star for me with A New World Order, the movie was shot beyond the arctic circle in Finland and it looks great, even the cinematography in the night scenes is nicely shot and lit, as key elements are nicely visible while still keeping the dark tones to a minimal amount.

"Number one that always springs to mind is Billy Wilder’s The Apartment. I’m sure you’re familiar with that film. It’s one of those movies which manages to combine all sorts of flavors. People tend to think of it as a romantic comedy, but actually it has some quite dark elements; the Shirley MacLaine character tries to kill herself at one point. And that’s the sort of movie, I like to think — in terms of the sort of films I would like to try and make — are films which are hard to pigeonhole. It has elements of humor, maybe, but there’s also drama in there. Billy Wilder’s one of my heroes, because I think he’s able to sort of step between different genres and make masterpieces."

Great storyline, well balanced between dark and light (1 more)
Sweet love story, for the one you can't have perhaps
The first in the series of Amelia and Joshua, beautifully writted
I picked this up for a flight, and hoped to lose myself between the pages. I hadn't realised it was aimed at 13+ young readers but I loved the storyline, with its darker elements and some lovely light touches. Who knows ... can a ghost fall in love with the living?!

Even though the books so dark it is seen through the eyes of someone who at least compared to the other characters in the book is so innocent as a result readers are left in a state of shock with the main character as they experience this roller coaster (1 more)
With her. The book really has anything you could ask for romance adventure and fantasy and the author does such a good job at displaying these elements appropriately.

I really enjoyed this book as it kept me captivated the whole time. I was curious to see how extensive the children's powers were. It was heart breaking when her parents didn't remember her. I can't imagine having that kind of power. I am a bit disappointed in the movie version as it did not live up to the book I had very much enjoyed. I am aware this is part of a series though I have not read the other books I do look forward to finding out more of the story.

Scary and Spooky
Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs- is a terrorfying, horrorfying, spooky, scary, creepy game.

The game features several interlocking storylines. Some take place in the past, some in the present, and some are overtly real while some may be imagined. Set in London on New Year's Eve, 1899, the game's protagonist is Oswald Mandus, a wealthy industrialist and butcher who is implied to be the great grand-nephew of Daniel, the protagonist of Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

The game is a survival horror game played from a first-person perspective.

Players explore the environments using a lantern, with diary entries and notes providing information on the lost memory of the title character. While the core of the game remains the same between the two, some elements of The Dark Descent have been removed for A Machine for Pigs, while new elements have been added, one reason being to provide a fresh gameplay experience to players of The Dark Descent.

Most of the puzzles are based on physically interacting with the environment because of this change. The sanity mechanic of the first game has been removed, meaning that the darkness and looking at the creatures no longer cause any drawbacks. Health lost when Mandus is injured, will regenerate after a certain period of time; thereby eliminating the need to find vials of laudanum to restore health as in The Dark Descent.

The game's level design has been touted as "significantly different" from that of The Dark Descent, with larger areas and outdoor environments included. AI was also adjusted to ensure players are unable to predict enemy behavior based on their experiences with the original game.

Its a excellent survival game.
