Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Night Light (Restoration #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
In the second book set in a world were modern technology has died, the Branning family tries to help four kids who have been abandoned by their mother. Can they provide for four extra mouths? Where is the mother? The mystery isn't that strong, but watching the characters deal with their situation kept me turning the pages.

I couldn't wait to see this after watching the trailer in 3D on an imax screen! It looked amazing and seemed to take animation up to a new level and the 3D looked amazing and so detailed!! Unfortunately I only got to see the film on DVD and missed the 3D excitement. The story has been done several times before, but it's still enjoyable. One kids will surely love, try to catch it in 3D if you can!!

A Netflix original starring Michael Pena and Lizzy Caplan. This movie was excellent. The cinematography, the acting, the special effects. All great. The story unfolds fairly quickly with a really fascinating twist to it that really catches you off guard. This sci-fi action thriller is intense. There's violence but this movie is ok for kids too. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it! Even if you're not a huge fan of sci-fi, you can appreciate and enjoy this film.

Sucky film
Contains spoilers, click to show
And we have a winner for one of the worst horror films I have ever seen. It was a creepy premise - kids with night terrors grow up and the monsters who stalked them as children come back to get them. But it wasn't. It was dull and depressing. I hate movies that break the very rules they set up. Oh and if you have a boyfriend who is OK with drugging you? Break up with him.

Predictable and Sad
I enjoyed this film but it’s predictable and I didn’t think parts would be as depressing as they were. I took my little sister to see this in the cinema and she enjoyed it until it started to get really upsetting, I think it’s a bit too sad to be a kids film. Other than that it was a nice change to the other films that have been released.

Incredibles 2 is it as good as the original yes only complaint why it took so long for a sequel I watched the original like 13 years ago but that's my one complaint anyway. Still a good sequel the kids have more too do this time especially jack jack interesting villain too. Hope next time they don't take so long too make a third film

A very good film that feels similar in many ways to "Stand by me". Great acting from the young cast as a group of kids plan to get revenge on a bully. Though their attitudes change over the day, will they go through with it and with what repercussions?
The film handles the whole bully situaition well and will remind a lot of people how tough life can be as a young kid growing up and going through school.

Well Developed Plot
A Lovely Family Film
This was an absolutely loving tale of family. The quirky mix of fun and heroics is a wonderful choice to watch with the kids. This is a tale not just about heroes but about finding a family of your own even if its not the one you were born with. I wonderful choice for anyone in search of something to watch for family movie night!

Simply Epic!
After first appearing in the standalone Wolverine film, much to fans ire, he has been given another shot to make right from the first failed attempt at bringing the character to the big screen. Action packed with plenty of fourth wall breakage you can't go wrong! Sorry kids, this is a comic book film for us adults.

Worth the hype
A lot of people said this was great but I get dubious of hype but this lives up to it. With animation like the illustrations from a children's book, Klaus is a touching, heartwarming and even sometimes magically sad story. This is quickly going to become a firm Christmas favorite.
