Dana (24 KP) rated Reborn (Shadow Falls: After Dark, #1) in Books

I absolutely loved getting to hear Della's story. She was one of my favorite characters in the original series, so it was fun getting to see what she goes theough. I really liked this story. Not only was the storyline pretty fresh, I was also very happy with the introduction of the newer characters. Vampire back stories are always pretty fun as well. If you have read the Shadow Falls series, I definitely recommend picking this one up as well.

Bizarre
No wonder this went straight to DVD in the UK. It is a gritty, raw film with some graphic, brutal violence....as you would expect. However the film does just feel a bit of a mess overall and a big disappointment after the great 2007 remake of the original Halloween film was done so well. The visions of his Mum at least offer an idea in to Michael's mind but the film just seemed all over the place at times.

Panned by critics upon release, this is still a very enjoyable film. It is the weakest of the 3, the story is not the best or most original. The ending also feels like it was rushed and happens very abruptly. However there are still very few films with such convincing dinosaurs in them and the effects are great. Just a pity there wasn't a bit more of the T-rex fight near the start. Sit back and enjoy the visuals.

It's Fine, But Could Have Been More
Let's be clear: I really wanted this movie to be good. The cast is awesokme, and the original Oceans movies were great. But the plot just falls short. There is no major conflict, and no intensity at all. If it were a Greek plot line, it would be a line. No rising action, no climax.
Is it worth seeing once? Sure! Is it worth paying a bunch of money for, probably not.

Sequal as good as the original
Nazarian’s sequal to Qualify is a fascinating look at a journey through space for the teenagers who qualified to escape Earth and travel to Atlantis. The novel provides more character development for the mysterious prince of Atlantis. The writings ebbs and flows with the excitement of special events and the monotony of space, which is appropriate for the setting. The world of the spaceship the characters are in is well fleshed out and unique.

Sooooooo crazy, and I definitely finished it with a giant WTF look on my face, but it was awesome to see most of the original actors back in roles that made many of them famous in the first place. I'm planning to watch it again as soon as I can to pick up on little things I may have missed upon first viewing. David Lynch says it's best viewed as a marathon, so I may take a couple sick days...

Wow looking so outdated now, and Virtual reality is barely used these days. Didn't take off like it was predicted. This is based on a short story by Stephen King, surprised to see a young Pierce Brosnan in this. The graphics for the virtual reality scenes look like an arcade game from the era. It's not very original, yet some how got a sequel a few years later. For a good film about Virtual reality check out the much better eXistenZ!

Alison is my favourite historical author - her characters are as close to their true stories as fiction can possibly allow them to be. She can get inside the time period and their heads to take the reader on an emotional and exciting journey. It is the plight of Tudor women she does this with best; and the two books about Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey are my favourites. I have loved devouring her books - easy reads and original twists.

This Netflix original action comedy stars the comedic trio from "Workaholics". The cinematography was good. The acting and storyline was pretty much what you'd expect from this group. There is some sexual and drug use content and a few gross violence scenes so this one really isn't for kids. If you're into "weird and goofy" comedies you'll enjoy this one. There are quite a few familiar comedic faces, as well. I'd say it's worth a watch if you're REALLY bored.
