Kiss of Darkness ( Charmed book 2)
By Brandon Alexander and Constance M Burge
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Something changed Prue Halliwell on New Year's Eve, when a stranger gave her the most passionate kiss of her life. Now Prue feels driven to kiss every man she meets. At first this is fun, but when Prue starts to grow weaker with every kiss, the Charmed Ones know evil is afoot.


This was a fun nostalgic read. It was so good to read a new charmed story! I really do miss this show and I’m so glad I discovered the books.
  
The Incredibles 2 (2018)
The Incredibles 2 (2018)
2018 | Action, Animation, Comedy
2018 sequel to the 2004 original, with this one largely switching the focus away from Mr Incredible to his wife Elastigirl, and with this picking up almost immediately from the end of that previous movie in a world where Superheroes are real, a common occurrence, and outlawed by a society that is sick and tired of the destruction that seems to follow them around.

Not everybody feels that way, of course, with some citizens wishing to undo the outlawing of the same, which here provides the catalyst for the plot.

Enjoyable? Yes.

As much so as the first? That's a tougher call ...
  
King Solomon's Mines
King Solomon's Mines
2004 | Adventure, Drama
Early 2000 - think it's 2004 - Hallmark tv movie starring Patrick Swayze as the African adventurer Allan Quartermain, who is hired by Elizabeth Maitland (Alison Doody) to help her find her father who has disappeared in Africa whilst searching for the legendary King Solomon's Mines.

It's been a while since I read the source novel, so I'm sure this takes more than a few liberties, however there are still elements that I remember from said source.

Basically, the entire thing feels Indiana Jones lite.

And that's not just because Alison Doody was one of the main characters in the Last Crusade.

As December deepens and the world feels touched by a little extra magic, Slippers and Songs is the perfect tale to slip into. ❄✨

Princess Tesni is trapped in a moonlit curse that forces her to dance through the night, while Prince Brenin follows her into the Otherworld—answering riddles, uncovering secrets, and quietly falling for the woman she is beyond the enchantment.

If you followed shimmering footprints into a frost-kissed forest, where would you hope they lead?

For anyone who needs to hear this right now 💛

If this Christmastime feels heavy, quiet, or different than you expected—you’re not doing it wrong. It’s okay to have a softer season. It’s okay not to be the center of attention. It’s okay to rest instead of sparkle.

Slow down if you can. Breathe in the little things: warm drinks, soft lights, familiar songs, moments of stillness. Joy doesn’t always shout—sometimes it whispers.

Be gentle with yourself. You’re allowed to take up space and you’re allowed to be quiet. ✨

Pet peeve
#petsematary is a dire #remake of an already bad #film. Its drab, lifeless & should never of been #reanimated. I had high hopes for this film because it feels like its been a while since the last mainstream horror movie so as I felt genuinely excited but after the first 15 minutes this feeling had quickly been replaced with sheer #fear there was still well over an hour left to go till i could leave. Before we hit the negatives ill give you my positives that saved the movie from being a total walk out. First - #johnlithgow is great as always but mostly wasted largely because of the terrible script he's been given to work with. Second - the running theme of #death is great & the film portrays how all living things fear it so much rather well (it also handles #grieving & guilt #trauma surrounding #death well too but its ultimately far to brief). Now the bad - the movie feels nasty & cheap to look at visually, cgi is bad, make up design is lazy, the camerawork feels awkward & strangely zoomed in just a bit to close to everything, theres weird #90s era motion blur on everything fast moving, acting is laughable/cheesy & scenes go on far to long as does build up to key scenes that have an anticlimactic pay off. If you've seen the original or the trailer for that matter the film becomes highly predictable killing all suspense & what little atmosphere the film conjures up is ruined by naff & bland set design. I honestly cant recomend anyone wasting their time on this highly forgettable film unless your a big fan of really #adorable #cats then this one in this is a clear 10/10 on the #cute scale. An uninspired lazy cash grab & there are a million horror films out there that tell almost the same story way better. #odeon #odeonlimitless #horror #gore #stephenking #scary #cat #animal #pet #classic #retro #cultclassic #80s #filmbuff #filmcritic #zombie
