What a Star
Alright, My boy Lolly deserves, like, none of this shit. What a pure child. Alright, as a kid that's also kinda from the hood, I can tell you, it's really that bad. However, this book encapsulated it perfectly, and the added small details made it all the better.
One thing I really like was that Lolly's obsession with Legos was well done. I think Moore really showed how a kid, who was just twelve would feel. Little kids dealing with adult stuff is something that shouldn't happen, but still does. However, Moore makes it inviting, and yet not. Oof. This review is getting problematic.
Last thing: LGBTGIA+ friendly!!!

A true read.
Every chapter ending in you just dying to know everything. who doesn't like a good book that keeps you intrigued? Definitely a book to keep you guessing. Throughout always keeping you on both the killer and detective side. It has been a while since i picked up a book and wanted to read it straight to the end. But Chris Carter has a way of doing it. None of his books have let me down. He does a collection leading up to this one book following the same detective on his different stories. Catching serial killers and bringing the undetectable.

Out of fresh ideas
Hard to sat any 5th installment of a series stays fresh. This installment was released only 1 year after part 4 simply because the lead actress was young and they didn't want her to grow up too much.
The result is the same old same old feeling with a lower budget meaning bad lighting and not even good gore effects.
Actress Danielle Harris does a good job keeping the story going at a young age. She even has a tender moment with "Uncle Mike".
Overall, this leg of the franchise is complete and none too soon.

Love this app
I love how this app as kept me organised in what I watch and finding out new tv shows and saving them for future watching. I love that you can have a discussion about the episodes and how you can rate the episode and the actors/actresses in the shows. I have this and Letterboxd as I don't want to write it all down and forget about it as I usually on my phone so I can keep clicking on it and keep my watching up to date.

Original ideas
Unexpected twists
This trilogy was a delight for me. I read a lot of fantasy sagas, so it's fairly unusual now to find something refreshingly different but these managed it.
Almost none of the characters are actually likeable, and yet it's impossible not to get drawn into the world they inhabit. There are times where you think it's collapsing into the same old stories, but the author manages to surprise far more often than not.
Really worth a read; I found them difficult to put down, and just a really enjoyable read.

Meh
The original movie was a real guilty pleasure. Dark, twisted, funny and something very different from the million other saccharine and sentimental Christmas movies out there. The sequel is unfortunately very disappointing, it seems to think just consistently swearing is an acceptable substitute for actual humour . The writing is very weak and none of the actors look like they want to be there. It feels like a contractual obligation and a waste of talented actors like Billy Bob Thornton and Kathy Bates. The delightfully weird sandwich obsessed Thurman Murman does provide a bit of amusement and a few callbacks to the superior original but overall this is a poor sequel.

Surprisingly good acting
Groundhog day slasher!
Firstly this is a comedy horror not a straight up horror film.
I have to say I expected nothing from this film, I knew none of the actors and was just looking to pass an hour or so.
I'd like to say I loved this film, it was very 90's slasher poking fun at itself and not taking itself very serious at all, I found the plot unique and was honestly quite surprised by the "killer".
I think if you are looking for something light and breezy rather than a straight up horror this is perfect!
