“Dear White People” always feels like a personal story first and intelligent satire second. Between the movie and the first two episodes, I’ve spent three hours at Winchester. And I only want more.

Enjoyable, wonderfully gruesome
The contrast between the main protagonists McGrey and Frey is as curious as Holmes and Watson. One a stuffy Scotland Yard detective another a superstitious, grimy local senior police officer. Using music was a brilliant idea to tie the maccabre altogether. While it definitely feels like part of a series, it's still a good start.

Lackluster final act (0 more)
The game gets so many things right, from the player’s relationship with Captain Rhodes to the interactivity with the environment, that I’m willing to overlook its disappointing finale.

2017 | Drama
visually spectacular (1 more)
like the book, it challenges important issues within medical philosophy and the morals behind research, as well as perceptions of what constitutes humanity
having read the book, the plot of the film in comparison feels fairly lacking and rushed (although this may purely be due to the length of the book/ differing memories of the book) (0 more)

All the feels!
Wow! This book had made me laugh, cry, think just everything. I want to read it again i lover it so much.
There were some heartbreaking moments that made me want to climb in the book and give Eleanor a cuddle (maternal instinct) and parts that made me laugh outloud.
You will not be disappointed

Dumbledores commentaries (1 more)
Illustrations
Short and sweet
A great addition to the wizarding world collection. This is a short but sweet read with a few stories that are "classics for young wizards". JK Rowling was clever to think of adding commentaries by Dumbledore after each story, this really feels like Dumbledore is engaging with the reader. What's not to like?

If your not big on board game but maybe you have a lot of friends who are, this is a good way to start. The game is easy to learn and similar to hearts. Games are generally long but they do get quite competitive.
  
Timber Falls (2007)
Timber Falls (2007)
2007 |
Another very average horror set off the beaten track. A couple of familiar faces in the cast and it is quite gory in parts. However it feels like it's trying to ride the coat tails of Wrong Turn, The hills have eyes franchises. One for horror fans who don't mind a cheesy horror. You might like Eden Lake instead.
  
Evil Dead II (1987)
Evil Dead II (1987)
1987 | Comedy, Horror
A very strange and gory horror, comedy. This was made quite a few years after the first but feels very similar, although the technology for the effects has greatly improved during that time, it really shows in some scenes. It has a very similar storyline as well to the first, so if you liked that you should like this.

Brutal Thriller
I had high hopes for this as the trailer had a @Man on Fire (2004) vibe to it. For a short film it's very slow most of the time, feels more like 2 hours long. The plot is simple and I expected it to be more drawn out. Phoenix performance though raises this above average.
