First, it's hard to say anything really bad about this movie. Obviously every movie is going to have something that just doesn't work for the viewer.
In this case, I feel, the movie didn't do enough with Brightburn. There is so much more depth into why he feeds on his anger. What drives him to rule and a glimpse of a past as to why he is here would have been interesting, that way, they could go anywhere in continuing the story line in a part 2.
Also, where the hell is a part 2? Why did not enough people see this movie?
Overall it was fantastic. Favorite part.... flying through the house, with the volume up high, or dropping mom.
Please make more, please more bonding with the villains feelings as at why.... No one makes a great "from- the - bad- guy" point of view series. Let's make this happen.

I adored this season, and honestly think this program gets better each year.
It is such a different show from when it first started, I am so glad they fully leant into the more comedic, and that 'not take ourselves too seriously' attitude because it has paid off.

This season looked a lot individualising episodes (whilst easily following the main arc too), paying homage to so many other shows and genres, and they always do it so well.

This show genuinely makes me laugh out loud, yet still has its own poignant moments, and touches on broader issues without forcing an opinion, it just occasionally makes you think.

I love the cast, they have fully embraced diversity, and I hope they will do more with this as time goes on as well.

What other show do you know that would take a fight scene and choreography it to a Sisqo song? Fantastic 👌

Amazing RH!

This was a fantastic ending to a beautiful series! Kick ass female lead, a hot group of guys, supernatural powers and romance! What more could you want?
It was nice to see Kit confront her demons, and her mother. And she gained a father figure in return. And its amazing to see the group really come together and defeat evil, as cliche as that sounds. And Lucy!!! Plot twist of the century! I could never have seen that coming if her halo hit me in the face! The whole series was a rollercoaster and I literally didn't put my kindle down for 3 straight days! Work be damned! You get so enthralled in her life and you want to know what happens next, even now I need to know about kids and life after!


Tate is a fabulous author and an amazing person (I've met her, so i know its true!) I love all of her books. Check them out!

"People who didn’t live through that period or weren’t old enough to know what was going on somehow imagine that there was this fantastic post-punk thing going on. That’s all made up in hindsight. Really, everything was pop of the most plastic kind. And a lot of it was quite terrible. Though I did like Madonna’s “Like a Virgin,” which came out in 1984. There was a real thing in the early-to-mid ’80s about modern classical music; there was a lot of that stuff around, and those were the more interesting things. If you know Tabula Rasa and know anything about the music that I’ve been involved with, you might struggle to find how I would connect with that kind of music. But it’s not really experimental music. It’s very emotional. It doesn’t have the form of a song but it’s not far from the world that Eno was exploring with his Ambient series."

If you were to look up the definition of "underrated horror gem" then Intruder would be staring you in the face.
Brought to life by several members of the team behind Evil Dead II, it's no surprise that this movie is equally as fun as it is gory. It's cast of likable characters drive the film for the mostly bloodless first half, with final girl Elizabeth Cox being a stand out.
When things do get gory, Intruder doesn't fuck about. The kills inflicted upon the main cast are pretty damn creative, and incredibly realised by fantastic practical effects courtesy of Robert Kurtzman and Greg Nicotero. The scenes not set in the main supermarket hall have a low budget and dimly lit Evil Dead feel to them, and results in a genuinely nasty atmosphere when coupled with the more violent moments.

It's a shame that Intruder isn't as widely hailed as some of its better known slasher contemporaries, for all of the above reasons.

Have you ever been hooked on a book by the first page?

I was with this book by Chautona Havig. Justified Means was based off the question, what if a company had to kidnap a person to keep them safe without letting them know? Chautona Havig does a fantastic job with this book and answering that question. I loved the action packed chapters, the realistic attitudes of the characters, and the faith based foundation of this book. I loved the characters in Justified Means. They were well crafted, great arcs in their dialogue, and I LOVED how Chautona Havig weaved in the story of redemption. Plus, the overall story and mystery/ suspense was compelling and really fun to read.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars and I am sooo looking forward to reading the next book in the Agency series.
