Well I guess everyone who loved Get Out is hoping for the best with this 2nd film by Jordan Peele. You kinda expect this to be quite odd and in that respect it is. The problem I found is it feels like a comedy horror at times, often unintentionally. The cinema were laughing at parts I think were supposed to be freaky. To top it off the final revelation was predictable for me. So a bold effort, entertaining film but it might leave you feeling indifferent.

Saw this last night and I kind of agree with you. I was on edge for a lot of it, but the oddness and the comedy works against it at times

It was strange how much the audience were laughing at the moments that were meant to be creepy.

I fell in love with Will and Awa throughout the book and really felt a bond with the characters. I found it fascinating to read about the different historical events and I really think this is an interesting way to spread knowledge of history! I’d rather learn about history when it is mixed in with fiction than sit down with a textbook!

The novel is constantly exciting, and it kept me gripped right up until the end.

I really can’t wait to see how the story progresses in the second book!

Old fashioned creepy
A good old fashioned ghost story. A creepy old house, odd servants, a pregnant widow left to her own thoughts in a big empty house.


And wooden people! Wooden people who multiply! And move on their own!

The story is set over 3 time periods. In the 1600s and in the 1800s. What happens in the earlier time is revealed through a diary found by one of the later characters.

Is it witchcraft? Is it insanity? Or ghosts? Read this book to find out. I really enjoyed it.

Really glad I stuck with these lovable misfits.
I wasn't the biggest fan of season 1 but I stycknit out and I'm really glad I did season 2 was much better it's obvious all around that everyone found their footing with and in the show. The characters worked together so much better the episodes got so much interesting and honestly the show was just down right fun to watch.

The reverse Flash was a great villian for the season and really helped make the season so much better.

kind of boring
Not as good as the critics said
"Eighth Grade" was hailed as a funny, uncomfortable look at what it is "really like" to be in eighth grade. Instead, I found it to just be an uncomfortable look at what a particular person might go through, but it didn't feel related - at all - to what I experienced in eighth grade.

It is basically a series of scenes, with no real engaging storyline or character growth, and I was kind of bored during most of it.

Everything. There is not one bad song on the album. This is a no skip album. (1 more)
Higlights include Women, Hysteria, and Love Bites.
Possibly one of the greatest albums ever created, Hysteria starts strong and finishes strong. When the first song hits, you know immediately you are about to go on a special trip. My favorite track is indeed the first track, "Women", but "Love Bites" and "Hysteria" come really close. There is not a single bad track to be found and the album is awarded the legendary No Skip status. Absolute perfection.

A couple of these I have read for the authors before but a lot of these were new reads for me. I loved all these authors. They are amazing writers, the stories were so much fun to read. I loved the problems that they had.. the love that was found.. and of course all the paranormal beings in the stories. Totally amazing box set and I am so glad I got this from the authors for a read/review. I will recommend this set to all my friends

This was a different type of read for me but I found myself enjoying it so very much. I really liked watching Amity learn who she is and what she is meant to do and who she is meant to be. The storyline flowed well.. the characters were very enjoyable and I loved how it all came together. The only thing I wasn't fond on was the ending.. I can't say more because of spoilers but dang.. lol.. But it was still a very fun story to read

Wow, just wow. It starts off pretty interesting with the two characters. With one on the edge skirting death. I found the idea with slipping in time pretty interesting. The idea connecting to the title of this book is interesting. Just when I thought everything was pretty much settled a twist happens. That piece made my head hurt, not dead but not alive indeed. Schrodinger's cat at it's finest!
