Great originals! (0 more)
Netflix is, of course, a dominant force in entertainment. The original series and movies are awesome. It's great to be able to binge my favorite shows like Friends, and they are uploading shows as soon as they end on air quicker and quicker. The only real downfall is that they don't have agreements with several networks still, so a lot of shows that I love aren't available. I would love to completely cancel cable and every other subscription I have, but I can't until things like Modern Family and Food Network's best can be seen on Netflix.

I enjoyed this book but not as much as the first one.
The TV show has just started on Fox in the UK so I thought it would be a good time to read book 2.
It was a little confusing as the original group of people in the first book have dispersed and I couldn’t keep up with who or where they were. There are also other characters which seem to be part human part viral.
Considering whether or not to read book 3 as the ending of this one makes me wonder where the story goes next.

This novel had many layers which is often the case with stories featuring “damaged” investigators wanting to “make a difference”. It is not an original concept as it is seen more often than not; however, this book introduced us to an array of characters whose lives and backgrounds make the reader want to know more. To say that the lead investigator’s backstory was more distressing and disturbing than the crimes she is investigating would be an understatement. The detective work feels solid and the characters are believable. This was certainly a page turner with a surprise at the end which brings some satisfaction.

A piece of literary beauty.
What can I say to describe a book that had me entranced from the first to the last page? It made me laugh, it had my holding my breath with anticipation, and it made me shove the book under my husbands and children’s noses to show them the meandering words of Dead Papa Toothwort as they crawled across the page. It’s just a glorious book!
I marvel at the mind of someone who can write something as original and beautiful as this - it’s poetry in prose form, and I loved reading every word.

Having waited 30+ years for this film I fell asleep upon first viewing as I was bored rigid.
 I am a huge fan of the original, however this was a gigantic disappointment, Gosling is as charismatic as a broken rubiks cube and Jared Leto was useless as a Tyrell wannabe who dials in a William Shatner style performance as he attempts to steal every scene he is in.
The cinematography and sound design are outstanding and that's where the good stuff ends.
 Let me make this quite clear, I do not like this overly long moving picture!

Contains spoilers, click to show
This was a series that was a spin off of vampire diaries but I feel was so much better. I love the way it ended but not that it ended. This follows the story of the original vampire family and how they became so cruel,also how in a way how they became good again. Thought a little mirical baby names hope, and how in the end why she became an orphan. If you love a good witch, vampire, werewolf fued this is just a must see.

Prequels run the risk of diminishing the magic of the stories they lead into, but The Inpatient is a rare exception that entirely manages to avoid that.

Buy the soundtrack, don't watch the film
As per usual, another overhyped Hollywood film that claims to be innovative with its music numbers. No doubt, the soundtrack is fantastic, to the point I went and bought the vinyl immediately. But all the malarkey surrounding "timed music sequences" was nothing original, and I used the entire film as a background film to wash the dishes and do chores.

There is no real plot. It's like Fast and Furious with good music (I am not a fan of the former). So if action isn't your cup of tea, just listen to the soundtrack.

Very creepy Pennywise (0 more)
Awesome remake of a horror classic
There isn't really anything bad to say about this film despite a lot of critisism of the CGI effects of Pennywise the dancing clown. I, however disagree and believe that this version was far more chilling than the first version. Pennywise was back on form with his creepy and outright terrifying behaviour. The plotline rarely strayed from the original script and the cast did well to keep you engrossed in the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was quite excited when I picked up the dvd yesterday.
