I have a soft spot for the original Firestarter. It's not perfect by any means but it possesses a certain brand of charm. This new version from Blumhouse sucks all of that charm out and then some. The annoying thing is, it's not the worst thing I've ever sat through, but I genuinely don't think I've ever been so fucking bored watching a movie in my life. Every fibre of the finished product is just bland and forgettable, to the point that I had mostly purged it from my mind with minimal effort by the time I got home from the cinema. Kudos to Ryan Kiera Armstrong for doing the best she can with what she was given, and the soundtrack from John and Cody Carpenter, and Daniel A. Davies goes pretty hard, but it's not enough to save this flaming pile of miserable wank.

hot hot HOT!!!
I was asked to read this by Ms Perry, that I write a review was not required.

But I gotta! OOOEEEE I gotta!!

I've had a run for male/male books to read, and I so desperately needed a down and dirty male/female book and this did not disappoint, three males!

Brenna dreams about 3 raven-haired brothers, who all want to mate with her! By day, her life is plagued by real ravens so she just assumes that the dreams are to counter-act her day, right??

Wrong! Brenna is able to travel to parallel plains, where the brothers are princes and Brenna somehow managed to create a mating bond between them by saving one of them! Waldrom brings Brenna to his home, and they perform a ceremony with Victor and Corbin but Brenna doesn't fully comprehend what she has done, and runs.

I get WHY she runs, though. She did not know what she was agreeing to, hell she would have sold her soul to get the sexy dark haired man to just hurry it up already! A girl's got needs, right?? But she is so miserable after, and the brothers are miserable too. They just have to talk. Lots of sexy time too, but TALK! Sexy time is well written, and well delivered. Hot hot HOT!!!

I love the take on shifters too, with the sci-fi/paranormal hints. Made for an enjoyable read! Very enjoyable! So much so, I stayed up til nearly 2am reading this! And that was after a 14 hour shift at work! I'll probably read book two straight through too!

Loved the other ladies who Brenna meets, Lauren and Jade. Those two know far more about the woods and what it contains than they let on!

Very different from Ms Perry's usual work, but I thank her kindly for writing this! I NEEDED this book!

Thank you!

5 full stars!

Tons of quests
Reasonable priced

Graphics are dark and kind of depressing
Too many glitches
Addictive but not for me!
I bought this game based on recommendations with an expectation of experiencing a more grown up Zelda type experience. I didn't get that feeling after clocking up about 24 hours worth of play. Although the gameplay is addicting and I was finding myself wanting to continue my quests I felt a lack of direction and things just seemed to be moving along far to slowly. The world that it's set in is rather dark and the lack of positivity experienced during my time playing and at times it left me feeling rather miserable. I appreciate the amount of effort that has gone into this game and its huge fanbase and that's why I have given it a 7, however I've decided that it's just not for me. I'll be sticking with Zelda

Herzog's take on Dracula strikes some startlingly different notes while still being an authentic and memorable version of this much-told tale. The plot sounds very much like Stoker's: Jonathan Harker is packed off to Transylvania to close a real-estate deal with the reclusive Count Dracula and learns some uncomfortable truths about host, who then departs for Harker's home town having taken a fancy to his wife.

It's the tone of the thing which is striking: Klaus Kinski's Dracula is not a ferocious sexual predator but a pathetic, rat-like parasite, spreading plague both literally and metaphorically. He is cursed as much as a curse, trapped in a miserable state of immortality. Kinski's performance is genuinely eerie, and the atmosphere of the rest of the film matches it. It is a bit on the slow side, and the relentlessly morbid atmosphere will likewise not be for everyone, but this is one of the better big-screen adaptations of Dracula.
