Tagged as an old school American horror this definitely felt like watching an older horror film along the lines of Friday the 13th. However mixed with some very over the top gore from more recent horror films and you get this. Featuring cameos from Robert Englund, Tony Todd and Kane Hodder. There are plenty of jokes, gore and all the other ingredients that horror fans love about slasher films in this.

rich visual scenes
Such a beautiful series
This entire series is so amazing. The scenes are described is such rich detail that it transports you into the story. Feyre was easy to love. She is a very strong female character and I was invested in her story from the start. Tamlin intrigued me and I really felt drawn to Lucien. I felt like I was drawn to his character.

Okay - given the Love & Gelato book and it's one of my fav reads during the month I read it - I had super high hopes for this book, and it sort of let me down. I like the fact that it gives you a bunch of Irish facts within the book, I couldn't get enough of those parts of the book - the rest was just overall a slow read, I don't know if I just didn't like that nothing truly happened (until near the end). The concept was sweet broken hearts mending but i just wanted more than I got. Still a great adorable read and I'm glad I read it!

Movie Favorite Watch

"I really, genuinely don’t like favorite lists because you always leave stuff out. So there are a lot of important films I could put in like The Godfather Part II, perhaps, or The Godfather Part I, but I’m going to go with The Empire Strikes Back for number three only because it’s Empire Strikes Back! I don’t think I need to say why. It’s so good. It takes what arguably could be just a simple science fiction movie and really takes it to this other place that is just so engaging and so believable and dramatic as well. Not overly dramatic, but dramatic. I love that film a great deal."

"""2001: A Space Odyssey. What I love about that is, in a similar way to Spinal Tap, it trusts the audience to have the patience that there’s gonna be something fulfilling in there. Not only the visuals. I think if you watch it now, with 21st century eyes, it can seem to some people like a very slow movie, where nothing happens for a long time. Visually it’s very innovative, but we’re so used to 15 cuts a second now that we’re not used to things being played out with that much pace and that much finesse and style and patience. I think, to watch it now, it’s seeing filmmaking with such confidence, the fact that he can hold those shots for as long as he holds them, and he can trust the audience to come along with him on the ride. It can be slow. It’s always visually breathtaking. But I think, to see it now, it looks like filmmaking from such a different time. If it was made now, it would be an assault on the senses. Everything would be very quick, everything would be breathless, everything would be very frantic, but Kubrick was such a confident filmmaker that he was able to play that whole story out with such pace and such style and trust that the audience was smart enough to be dragged along for the ride and stick with it until the end. That’s what I love about it, the pace of it. The respect for the audience’s intelligence. I like to feel part of those clubs and I think 2001 is the ultimate example of that kind of club where, if you understand why this is brilliant, then you’ll do for me. If you understand why this is brilliant, then you’re my kind of guy. And I like being involved in those miniature elite subcultures. 2001 is the perfect example of that."

My kind of fairytales
I really did enjoy The Hazel Wood but I might be a bit biased because I really love Fairytales especially the darker more Twisted original versions of fairy tales and the Hazel Wood really captured the essence of what made me really love those type of stories.

Alice is really one of those characters where you're not quite sure if you like her you don't like but in the end I really did grow to appreciate her Melissa Albert really put a lot of thought into the character and the concept of Nature vs nurture. And one of my favorite things about Alice is that she is really under no illusion that she is a good person she knows she's messed up and owns it pretty well.

The one thing I really wished was explored more were the other fairy tales since we only really get to know two of them The Hazel Wood is a universe I would definitely love to come back to and be able to learn more about
