Dean (6927 KP) rated Attack the Block (2011) in Movies

Original
A great little low budget, English comedy horror! This has a good B movie feel to it, featuring a young, largely unknown cast it has a good balance of laughs at the silliness of it all, followed by moments of danger. I also like these type of films when they are grounded in a real setting, this being an every day council estate in South London. Also unexpected for this type of film is how well shot it is, good use of light and cinematography is plain to see in most scenes. The creature design while simple is pretty good. The only downer for me was some of the over use, of so much slang, but again there are teenagers who do talk like that! An enjoyable small budget film that will put a big smile on your face!

Increasing Drama
Solid Plotline
Still a Strong Performance
The show is still going strong by season 4 as things begin to twist together in a whole new pattern. Although I didn't know how I'd feel about the Lucious memory loss bit, as I believe such a thing has become a cheap copout of so many different tv shows, it turned out to not be so bad. I won't say its my favorite thing they've done with the show but it also didn't mean the end of the shows good streak. This scene comes with all the drama and all the good music. Although I won't go so far as to say they've outdone themselves nor is it as good as the previous seasons but it still holds up on the good vibes and entertainment the show brings.

The eclectic mix of styles and moods from the gloriously feel-good here Comes the Sun to the curious Octopus' Garden
Utterly timeless
Vocal performances and harmonies are consistently stunning with special mention to 'Because'
George Martin's genius shines through again. Technically decades before its time.
In my humble opinion, the greatest album of all time

Could you imagine being the cause of a civil war? That is exactly what Phillip is facing. How will he protect his family and himself?
[Trent Reedy] did a good job creating a very possible situation and showing the consequences in [Divided We Fall]. Although the novel is fiction with a dystopian feel it is something that could actually happen, which makes it more compelling.

DNF'd at chapter 15.
Oh my god this book. It really had good premise and did like that the female lead was srong enough to stand up fr herself at points but the fact that she easily backed out of that strength and easily forgave bugged me. I also didnt feel a connection between the couple.
All in all a major disappoinment for me.

Such a good book! Mental illness can be a very touchy subject and I feel like Nicola handled it with grace and opened the reader's eyes to being on the inside. The pacing is perfect, not feeling rushed like some romances can. All of the characters are perfectly crafted, their flaws making them even more relatable and harder to let go of at the end. Fantastically written!

I'm just not feeling this series. Too many unnecessary characters brought in, too much jumping around from location to location, perspective to perspective. Just as I feel like I'm getting into it and the story is getting good, it's all change again. I would've much preferred to focus on the main story, with fewer distracting side stories that don't really go anywhere or need telling.

Meh
Usually I am down for revenge porn movies and I LOVE Jennifer Garner but this movie didn't really cut the mustard. There were a few decent scenes, my favorite was with the main character and her neighbor but overall it just wasn't that good. It didn't feel very genuine. I'm not sure why but the whole thing came across as stilted and forced.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Silent Bloodnight (2006) in Movies

One of the worst low budget slashers I've seen. Even going well past the it's so bad, it's good in a funny way. This Austrian offering from 2005 really does look and feel like an 80's slasher. The script, acting, gore, lighting everything is just bad! The main character speaks and acts like she has an IQ of about 50. Skip past this....
