Really dark Alice in Wonderland retelling
So I may be slightly biased since I love anything Alice and Wonderland related. But this is by far the best retelling of the original Lewis Carol story.
Disturbing and dark this book doesn't pussyfoot around some controversial subjects. However, it is able to steer away from anything crude while still being adult and gory.
This isn't a book for the faint-hearted with some wonderful but graphic descriptions. However, if you like dark and gothic definitely give this a try.

Not the Jumanji of My Younger Years
I typically don't like "reboots" because most of the time it seems to mean "remake". However, Jumanji is a true reboot. It took the basic premise of the original and completely updated the concept for today's audience. I was super excited to see it as I'm a fan of everyone in the cast and they did not disappoint. Their chemistry was amazing their characters kicked ass and were hilarious.

Board Game Review: Targi – A Two Player Treat
Targi is a solid title, and one replete with real and meaningful decisions. I love that a simple ruleset, with few exceptions to be remembered, can nevertheless create challenging and relatively deep play. As a two-player only game, this is definitely worth checking out and certainly should be attractive to couples.

Full review here:
When it's on form, Deadpool 2 is stronger than the original and some of its laughs are considerably funnier. But it feels a tad too muddled in places. It's as if the film has so much it wants to do that it loses some focus and doesn't quite end up being as satisfying as the debut. Still a great time though and this does have perhaps the greatest mid-credits sequence ever seen in a movie.

Better than the original
I love backstories, and this one didn’t disappoint! This was an excellent prequel that explored the heartbreak that shaped the aunts from Practical Magic. It was an excellent stand-alone novel, even if you haven’t read Practical Magic. I felt like the ending was a little rushed, and I couldn’t figure out the timeline. Regina was born in 1961, but her daughters were adults in the 1990s (assuming Practical Magic takes place when it was written).

Goofy is the best word to describe this movie. It wasn't terrible, but I found it a little too comical to be taken seriously. I'm not sure what the intention was with the film, Jason Statham seemed to have fun with his goofy role. The film was completely predictable, and there wasn't one thing that was original or new.
The ending was especially comical for me, Statham VS Meg, in the water was so out of the realm of realism. But, it was amusing.

Better than expected
Found this little gem on Netflix(original). The acting, cinematography and effects are decent. The story played out well. A little bit of a slow starter but kept the interest throughout. No big names that I knew, but the characters were well played. Takes place in the eighties in Scotland and it feels like you're watching a movie made in the eighties. If you're into creepy, supernatural horror flicks this one will please you. Not "The Conjuring" good but still worth a watch.
