Lindsay (1706 KP) rated Death Never Sleeps in Books
Sep 6, 2017
This is a really good book. It has all kinds of twist and turns. I enjoyed the fact that it has an element of mystery in the book. It has murders in it. It also has some adventures. How can a dead person give answers and help out his own brother from the grave? Is Michael's brother Alex alive or dead? You get swept up with this question and so many more. Alex actually communicates with his brother. Michael wants to help solve the mystery of his older brother's murder.
Why does someone want Michael and his whole family dead? Why does this person want to have them all dead? Why did this person want Alex dead? Alex seems to be able to communicate with his brother and talk to him like he is alive? The plot is good. The places that Samantha and Michael visits start to get more enjoyable to read. The adventures starts to happen once they go on trips. Is death like that where you can be anywhere and communicate with family friends only if you are in a virtual world that could be connected to a world before technology and a world after technology?

Lenard (726 KP) rated The Dead Don't Die (2019) in Movies
Jul 4, 2019
There is a certain style to a Jim Jarmusch fictional film and it remains to this day. His newest film "The Dead Don't Die" with its own theme song by Sturgill Simpson is no exception. In and of itself, this seems a satire of recent films that exist to sell soundtracks and not movie tickets. The town of Centerville is experiencing an existential crisis. It seems that all the dead are becoming reanimated and slowly attacking the town. The three police officers are overmatched and all the living are running out of time. Imagine seeing your dead grandmother, would you be able to take her down if you were the only line of defense? In the end, The Dead Don't Die becomes an indictment of government inaction and human inefficiency.

The story is so good you start to root for the main character, wanting a happy ending for her, and forget it's a dead girls story.

Goosebumps
If you are looking to read something that will cause goosebumps then this is the one for you as every single story within this collection will leave you chilled to the bone. I loved all the tales but Druid's Wood, Thin Ice, and The Talking Dead were by far my most favorite ones. I highly recommend you read this in the dark while listening to the sounds of thunderstorms to give you the perfect reading experience!!

Shaun of the Dead (2004).
'Take car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phil. Grab Liz. Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?'
Shaun of the Dead is a 'slice of fried gold,' with consistent irony throughout that contributes towards the comedic content, uncommon throughout differentiating zombie movies. 'Next time I see him, he's dead,' is an ironic quote from Shaun of the Dead (2004) that is also foreshadowing.
Progressing from this, the casting for Shaun of the Dead (2004) was exceptional. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have done alternative movies together, encompassing Hot Fuzz and The World's End. Their undeniable friendship contributes significantly towards their ability to collectively produce fantastic movie's, all of which have no fault.
Furthermore, the prosthetic makeup is also an imperative aspect to confer when deliberating the positive aspects of Shaun of the Dead (2004). When taking into consideration that this film was released in 2004, the prosthetic makeup was beyond expectation, with multiple scenes that are hard to watch attributable to the gore.
Comparable to this, an alternative aspect to confer when deliberating the positive aspects of Shaun of the Dead would be the emotional investment in each character. Shaun of the Dead (2004) makes evident an imperative moral; to not take those you love for granted. One of many subtle morals throughout Shaun of the Dead (2004), which subsequently contribute towards the emotional investment in each character, to be understood upon watching the movie.
To conclude, Shaun of the Dead (2004) is a contributor towards the extensive amount of zombie movies released. However, it is an innovative, unique zombie movie, integrating comedic content and irony, whilst maintaining the high quality of prosthetic makeup and emotional investment you would expect from a movie depicting the prospective end of the world.

The Dead Are Back!
More or less the same as the first Dead Island game. There are some minor tweets and improvements but after 10 minutes of playing you'll struggle to distinguish between the two games. Not that that is an issue for me as I love Dead Island's game play. Solid, addictive and (occasionally) scary, this is a great game. Just don't be expecting any fancy upgrades from the first and you won't be disappointed.

What would you do if you found out your dead wife was already married and that it was murder? John Sims plays an excellent part in this gripping series of love, betrayal and mystery. You find yourself trying to discover who did what and find yourself completely wrong. Loved the note at the end 'it was always you'
Erika (17788 KP) rated National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) in Movies
May 12, 2018
This film is one of my favorite Christmas movies. My family is very much like the Griswolds, where Murphy's Law rules and everything is a mess. The quips throughout still make me laugh. I'm a huge fan of the quiet quip, and this movie is full of them.
