Chemistry between the lead characters (0 more)
Enjoyable silly action/comedy
Following a recent trend of big budget action comedies. This is a rather silly but quite funny film with some good action scenes. The lead characters played by Kunis and Mckinnon have a good chemistry. It feels a bit too long, but overall as a light hearted film it was OK.

An ok straight to DVD horror. Good production values and a young fresh cast. However it feels a bit disjointed at times, whether thats due to poor story or editing. I still struggle with the real motive for the killer to chase the girls down so many years later?? Could have been a lot better, instead it's just good in patches.

This is a decent but short (6 episodes) first series of what is a highly acclaimed sit-com. I like the style (mockumentary) and the small cast of characters. The best moments are when the cast just go on a random rant/list weird things, which feels ad-libbed and hilarious. With the characters introduced I hope the comedy ramps up from here.

My absolute favourite series at the moment! Despite the dystopian setting it is scary how real the problems portrayed can seem and how possible the world feels! This is the only time I will probably ever say this but I much prefer the TV series than the book, not to say it’s a bad book, but that the show is that’s good!

This feels like quite a lot of other teen comedies that have been released over the last 7 years. This mainly mixes elemets from American Pie, Old School and 40 days 40 nights. It's ok in parts but nothing you haven't seen quite a few times already now, with all the usual gags and gross out humour this type of film has.

I wont waste too much time on this review, but this is awful! If you are expecting a fairly decent Vampire film considering the cast then you are in for a shock. It's very low budget and it really shows, feels like a TV movie. How on earth did Lance Herikssen get mixed up with this!?! Avoid like a vampire dodging sunlight!

They came to their senses!
Rise Michael again after a disappointing reach of the 3rd film.

Laurie Strode's daughter is the subject of this return to the more traditional Michael Myers film. Also the return of Dr. Loomis.

This one feels more like the Michael you know and love although not much new to the formula.

A breath of fresh air
A gorgeous, adorable read that makes it impossible not to like Simon, the context and events. This would have been a 5 but for slow pacing in the first half and a few sticky language issues I had. I'm so glad I read it and the last half had me feeling all the feels possible.
  
This is a beautiful cloth-bound copy of The Call of the Wild and White Fang. I received a copy of this book from Goodreads Giveaways. I love it! It is even nicer than it looks online, and the paper even feels nice and "fancy". These are two of favorite stories, and I love that they are included in one volume.

Somewhat of an enjoyable watch but an ageing Ford and an unnecessary sequel do not mix and this is a poor relation to the original trilogy.
 The film is very clunky dialogue wise and although full of action it still feels a little disjointed in places.
Harrison Ford is a great actor, however the character should have been retired some time back.
