Marvel strikes again!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Don't get me wrong, I am not the biggest Marvel fan in the family (step forward, my daughter), but I really enjoyed this story, which was strong and involving. Usual great action scenes and funny bits to keep you entertained, I am seriously considering a DVD purchase when the time comes. Only gripe is the excellent soundtrack does not seem to be available with all the great 90s tracks - and the orchestral soundtrack is only on MP3? How am I meant to play that in the car??

While Morgan is struggling to take over the family rock shop, she finds a dead body behind the store. But when she comes back for help, the body has vanished.
The plot in this one is a bit slow, although the characters were wonderful. I found myself caring about the sub-plots more than I thought I would because of the characters. And the mystery does reach a satisfying and logical end.
NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was just the book for me. I found myself in love with Felicia Day's quirky and unique experiences. This book is full of fun, horrifying, and hilarious stories that shows the reader just how awesome she is.
Felicia didn't hold back in this book, you get an in depth look into her life and how she became who she is today. You learn about her depression, her health issues, her friendships, and her family.
I'm so glad that I purchased this book. It was quirky and hilarious and I loved every minute of it.
If you're looking for a fun geeky experience, this is the book for you.

Promoting self belief and acceptance.
Not really sure what theI point of this film was.
To me this movie made no sense other than promoting self acceptance, love and family dynamics.
I went into it expecting a scifi, empowering, adventure story, instead I found it overall lacklustre. I was honestly bored after half an hour which rarely happens and the disappointing thing was, that this could have been a great film, it had good potential.
Im not even sure this film would appeal to kids to be honest.
However I would say its very colourful and the visuals are pretty good.

Being a disney, I had high hopes for this film, I love disney, and was so excited, when I see the trailer, I thought it looked a brilliant film, I was extremely disappointed, worth a watch if you have an hour or 2 to kill, but thats as far as it goes.
About a young family, the parents are scientists, who are studying a theory into other realms and dimensions, suddenly the father goes missing.
Years later, magical beings start to appear to the children, and send them on a big, magical quest to find and save their father.
I found I got lost half way through the film.

Not too bad
I remember reading horrible histories when i was in school, i have never watched the tv series though so wasn't sure what to expect. At first i thought it was incredibly cheesy, it was like watching a pantomime. But like being at a pantomime i eventually got into the storyline and found the songs catchy, there was a few famous faces including kim cattrall and warwick davies.
It wasn't too bad a film but i feel it could have been so much better aimed at adults rather than family.
