Dave Clarke (51 KP) rated Don't Say It, Bring It in TV
Jun 21, 2019
Hosted by Irish comedian, Jason Byrne, this new gameshow brings the fun back to the streets. The gameshow, based on an original Spanish format, challenges people to bring back the answer to a question, but not to say it, in return for Jason's cash prizes. Filmed across the UK including - Belfast, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Weston-Super-Mare and Whitby - each unpredictable episode will see Jason pitch up in search of willing participants who, in turn, go off in search of items that are the answer to Jason's questions.

A Pleasant Surprise!
This film is an excellent adaptation of Stephen King's classic horror novel. As most know, this is not the first adaptation, but certainly the better of the two so far (hopefully Chapter Two will do the same).
While we all loved Tim Curry's portrayal of Pennywise the Clown, the original TV movie lacked depth and had several irritating plot holes. Splitting the story into two parts was an excellent choice, and has given moviegoers the chance to experience all IT has to offer.

One not to add to your list
Gave this Netflix original a go. A brother and sister team try to scam people who think they are being haunted. They take on more than they can handle at one creepy location where several girls were murdered.
Not a bad idea for a Horror film but this effort is slow, dull, low budget, without any real scares. Takes a different direction in the final act as well and left little explained really. Check out @The Gift (2000) instead.

Meh
I caved and watched the remake. I regret it. Thre acting and cinematography were fine. The story was just ok. They changed enough ti make it slightly different and added some stuff that was unnecessary for the storyline. Sad part is, this could've been a whole different movie with those added parts. There was potential to have created something new. Instead, they tried to rehash a classic horror film to make money on. The original was great and should've been left alone. Overall, this one is not worth a watch.

Attempts at recreating original scenes
A good film that does 'The Shining' proud. Sometimes sequals can lack luster but Doctor Sleep earns it's place along side it's predecessor. The soundtrack, cinematography and acting make the film very enjoyable to watch however the script is long winded and there are moments when you wish the film would 'get on with it' as it is a bit slow in some places. If you've got a spare few hours and like Stephan King films then it's worth seeing.

Original horror
Junji Ito has an amazing imagination. I feel often in the West the story tellers try really hard to explain every detail. In Japan things can just exist and it's so refreshing and means you can just dive into a story and experiance it.
These are some crazy wonderful stories to give you chills. Stories I've never even conceived before. I'm going to order his others now. It's a must have

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is an mesmerizing blast from the past, offering up a taste of late 90s/eary 2000's nostalgia to a whole new generation and a trip down memory lane for the rest of us.

This is a flashback story where the chapters tend to start with a letter home from the front and lead into a memory.
I really wanted to be able to finish this story, but I couldn’t. I was bothered by the fact that they are making Mr. March kind of a shady husband.
The book was adjusting my perspective on the original story of Little Women. I may never be able to read or watch Little Women the same way again, and that makes me sad because it is one I enjoy.
