Surprising

I put this one off for a long time because I heard it wasn't very good. I'm glad I finally watched it. The effects were pretty cool and the acting was on par with most action movies. The story was "fantastical" like any sci-fi movie should be- not really believable but fun to watch. It played out well and had plenty of great action sequences. The monsters were pretty cool too. This eas like "Halo" meets "Godzilla". It's even "kid friendly".If you love sci-fi action adventures(and haven't seen it already) this one is worth a watch!

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Gods and Monsters (1998) in Movies

Jun 10, 2019

McKellen teamed up with director Bill Condon in 1998 for Gods & Monsters. This period drama recounts the partly fictionalised last days of the life of film director James Whale, whose experience of war in the First World War is a central theme.

Although criticised for being overly-simplistic, McKellen’s performance received rave reviews, and he was nominated for his first Academy Award in the Best Actor category. Unfortunately, he didn’t go on to win this time around, but it remained a highlight in a career filled with fabulous work.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus #4) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

While Percy and Annabeth battle through Tartarus to reach a way to get back to our world, the rest of their friends attempt to reach Greece to help them. But with monsters attacking both groups, will anyone make it?

While I wasn't happy with the last book in the series, this one was much better. The plot kept moving forward quickly and all of the main characters got some great development. Fans should be pleased.

I was able to purchase this app after winning the Google Play App giveaway here on Smashbomb.
My brother saw this game on his Nintendo Switch a couple of months ago, and since he sent me the name, I'd wanted to download it. Luckily, with the giveaway win, I was able to.
Cat Quest is a fun, cute RPG, where you play as a cat that goes on quests, defeats monsters, and learns magic. It's easy to play, and to level up to get some serious questing done. Overall, I love this game, and will continue playing it every day.

Ssshhhhh!

I wasn't sure about this film to start with but gave it a go.
The main story is basically about a family who have to be quiet or the alien type monsters that live within the grounds will attack.
The family use sign language to communicate and have mastered various methods for getting around the house and local area without making any noise.
It is a survival film and although it was strange watching a film with barely any talking in it i did actually enjoy it!
