Good for a kids film
After seeing the secret Life of pets, I felt I needed to then see the second one. We opted for the new odeon luxe that has opened. I feel that this may have contributed to an increased score. The storyline was good, no prolonged intro which was great for the kids. Some scary moments which my daughter wasn't too impressed with but every movie needs its ups and downs! Some excellent humour and some excellent correlation to real life (fox in the farm, cone of shame). Overall, something just didn't hit the spot to say it was fantastic, however overall a good film

This story was fantastic. While some parts of the story such as the clan names and locations took a while for me to get my head around due to the complexity of how they are spelt, therefore leading my mind to consider how they are pronounced. The plot was excellent. The characters were a wonder to get to know. I struggled putting the book down from the start. Very addictive. The hero and heroine were easy to relate to.
Only thing I marked down on its slight inconsistency on the name of the heroine Sophi. Sometimes it's Sophi, sometimes it was Sophie.
Otherwise a well written piece that I will likely read again.
Would definitely suggest to friends.

Amazing performances (2 more)
Incredible practical effects
Fantastic direction
A Strangely Enchanting Tale
Ever since seeing the first trailer, I was dying to see this movie. I am a huge fan of Del Toro's other work and I loved the aesthetic that was being used to present this story. The movie did not disappoint me at all when I finally got around to seeing it, (as the UK got it much later than the States,) and I am so glad it won best picture at this year's Oscars ceremony.
An all round beautiful production that has bags of heart and excitement to go along with it. Do yourself a favour and see this masterpiece, you will not be disappointed.

Wow...That was fabulous. Sexy Nate finally catches up with Audrey after she left him five years ago. When their eyes meet across a ballroom it starts a rollercoaster ride of murder, weird cults and sexy nights, Nate will do anything to protect Audrey and his brothers as the series continues in the search for Jory and the kill switch codes so they can all live free without the threat of the Comander and Audreys evil mother Dr Maddison.
Its a fantastic read with never a dull moment, its action packed and super hot. Only problem I do have is the next in the series isn't out for 11 months! How will I manage without the Grey/Dean brothers.

Sweeping Saga
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is the first book of a sweeping saga that catches the reader and holds them to the very end. You will find it hard to put this book down. I won't lie, it's a slow read at the beginning while Carey builds the world upon the books are based, but it soon captures you into this world. You find yourself holding your breath waiting to see what happens next. How one girl can go on to save a nation in peril and the loves and losses she suffers along the way. Carey builds this fantastic world full of intrigue and a bit of magic from the gods. A must read.

Quote worthy and repeatable
This is a great movie for the whole family. Not only are there wonderful visual effects that entertain the younger watcher, there is the witty, quotable one liners for the more mature. The characters and their relationships with each other are believable on both sides of the Jumanji story. My favorite is Sheldon Oberon played by Jack Black. He played a fantastic teenage girl obsessed with herself. I can't count how often we have watched movie and enjoy it every time. I find that when my husband and I are quoting a movie scene for scene, it means we really like it.

Oct 1, 2018
MoMo’s Book Diary enjoyed C.J. Spammer’s debut novel “Misled” and recommends this as a 5 star read.
I found this an emotional novel. Very gripping. I couldn’t put it down once I started – unfortunately I started reading just before going to bed and I was then up most of the night because even after I had finished the characters and the story stayed with me.
A fantastic book that takes the reader on a rollercoaster journey through the struggles of Sara who is affected by Bipolar Disorder in alternating chapters of now and then – then, being when it all went wrong.
I would like to thank CJ Spammer for the opportunity to read and review this novel.

A Fantastic Show!
I'm not a huge sci-fi fan, but the combination of some of my favorite actors (hello Winona!) and the insane amount of 80's nostalgia - from the set, to the clothing and the soundtrack - makes it the wildest ride of mystery, fantasy and fun. The cast of kids are a great addition to the acting world and I imagine they'll all be world famous after all this is over. But I don't imagine the world of Stranger Things being over anytime soon!

The Perfect Travelling Companion
This book is laugh out loud funny filled with interesting historical stories as well as up to date information with personal quirky stories thrown into the mix. A well-written travel guide mixing personal adventures with information about places, things to do and see (or not) and gives a true impression of the expanse of this enormous country!
As a traveller with a 3 week trip booked later this year, this truly was a fantastic read to offer insight into a unknown world (for me!). Who knew their political system was so complex? Or their history so diverse? Let the adventures commence !

Wonderful Insight
Wow what a fantastic insight into one of Britain's greatest actors. Although he died at just 31 years of age its incredible to think of how much he had done and how much he was loved and respected by everyone he ever knew, whether it be actors, school friends or anyone else. He truly is missed even to this day and this book is a must read for fans of either him, Porridge or Rising Damp. In fact just give it a read and see what you think. I would say its one of the most insightful biographies i have read :)
