Cool creature feature
An ok creature slasher, made better due to being directed by Stan Winston and B-movie horror star Lance Henriksen. This feels like it's an even older film, surprised it was made in '88! The creature design, costume is pretty cool as you would expect in a Stan Winston film. It looks like it owes a lot to the Alien creature design. The creature is played by the same guy used for the first two Predator films, Kevin Peter Hall. This has spawned 3 more sequels since. The 4th stars Lance Henriksen again! Worth checking out for old skool horror fans!

Creative monster design
While I'm not a huge horror fan, I do have an appreciation for this movie. The tension built up very well at some parts, but the main selling point for me was the monster design. I thought it was pretty cool and something I haven't really seen before (but, of course, I'm not well versed in horror, so what is novel for me may be commonplace for you). Also, the movie had some truly beautiful scenes due to its setting.

The move did have some scenes/shots that gave off Blair Witch Project vibes, but it didn't really take away anything from the movie for me.

This is the original leaf so the design is a bit clunkier than the urban, but it is still far more stylish and versatile than other trackers like the Fitbit. It can be worn on a necklace, leather bracelet, or clipped onto your clothing. Its unique wood and metal design definitely attract attention.

The app developers are continuously adding more new features that makes this a unique tracker. It can also be used with the Spring water bottle to track your water intake. The drawback is that it requires a watch type battery rather than a rechargeable battery that can be docked.

1982 | Horror, Sci-Fi

"I love horror movies, and it was between The Thing and The Shining, but again, The Thing, I think, I’ve seen more times. Everybody’s great in it; it’s just a great ensemble. The creature design is awesome. It’s one of those movies that you can watch over and over."

One of my first games on the Megadrive and wasted many hours playing. The levels were well designed and it had some good boss characters. A true classic.

One of the greats
One of the best Batman movies out there. Michael Keaton is an awesome Bruce Wayne. While it may be a little dated, it has a lot of stay power. With it's well executed sets and costume design, this is a must see.
  
Jeepers Creepers (2001)

Quite the satisfying and suspenseful horror that builds tension better than most modern films in this Genre.
Creative and very unique although its start takes its influence from Spielberg's 'Duel', the feasting for 23 days ever 23 years is a grand design and the 'Dark' man? is sure to scare.

I would call this movie a Matt Damon vacation movie, one that pays the Bill's between blockbusters and is Entertaining yet non taxing
Scenes and SFX look beautiful and is a visual feast, the sound design is well thought through, just a very predictable story, an easy watch but not essential!
