Joni Thomas (33 KP) rated Nerve (2016) in Movies

The premise of the game that is at the center of the movie is such a unique concept. It really takes the idea of social media to a new level and its something that I could totally see existing one day.
The main character is a shy, reserved character so the entire movie is out of character for her.
There is the perfect amount of action, drama and humor that kept me interested from beginning to end.
The appearance of Machine Gun Kelly will be entertaining for fans of his and he does quite a good job in the movie.
Definitely would recommend.

I like the visual style of the film, bathed in neon light a lot of the time, which makes it feel more like a game. Also makes a slight point about how people behave online compared to real life. Overall not that original but still an entertaining film nevertheless.

Oh, man. She's only gone and done it again! Jennie Lynn Roberts is an outstanding author, in my humble opinion. I haven't read a bad book of hers yet and doubt I ever will. Although not fantasy per se, this is an amazing story. It changes the way you look at shadows, that's for sure. They sound so beautiful, I wish I could see them for myself!
There is so much intrigue here. So many machinations, people being played like puppets, and others fighting the good fight. It is intricate, leading you along through a maze of words as you try to work out what the final objective is.
Zach and Emma are just as perfect together as Kay and Ethan are. Zach acts like a first-class jerk at one point though, and I was glad Emma was so strong. She stood by her convictions, even though she wanted Zach at her side, and he had faltered. With the others by her side, I think Emma is going to grow into a force to be reckoned with, and I can't wait to see her develop in James' story. (Or, at least, I hope!)
And speaking of James, he's gone from a character I didn't much like, to one who is breaking my heart as he tries to the do right thing. Read these two books and you'll see what I mean.
No mid-trilogy slump for this series, oh no. Instead, it's a nail-biting, gripping story that will keep you turning the pages and definitely leave you wanting more. HIGHLY recommended by me.

Dean (6921 KP) rated The Blackcoat's Daughter (February) (2015) in Movies
Apr 24, 2022 (Updated Apr 24, 2022)
It's a very slow paced , atmospheric Horror. The pace is rather tedious to the point it's not until the last 15 minutes that everything comes together and makes sense.
A couple of girls are left behind at a boarding school in a cold bleak February. Something sinister appears to be happening. Meanwhile another girl escapes a mental health hospital and makes her way to the School.
It's just far too slow with little happening until towards the very end. Also one of those endings that is frustrating making you think is that it? The story once you figure it out is interesting but it is badly done.
