Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)
2021 | Horror, Thriller
It's the right amount of dark and gritty with a decent performance from Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson! (0 more)
Traps aren't all that imaginative, the social justice angle is all over the place and it is a little too far removed from the tried and proven SAW formula!10 (0 more)
Flawed but enjoyable!
It's been a little more than 10 years since the death of John Kramer aka The Jigsaw Killer! A new killer emerges from the shadows, with a very different agenda and is hellbent on continuing Jigsaw's legacy. Detective Zeke Banks is assigned to the case and finds himself thrust into a vast conspiracy involving the dark deeds of the corrupt system he once swore to protect!

In reality the killer is very uninspired, the traps are not as elegantly designed and there is very little of the SAW DNA present in the film. The main reasons to watch SPIRAL are Chris Rock and Sam Jackson!

Reading this book took me back to high school and the day I walked into the locker room and saw one of my dearest friends undressed... the way she looked still haunts me but I'm thankful that her parents sent her away to an inpatient program.

This is one of those reads that opens your eyes to eating disorders and packs a powerful message into each and every single line. A must read.

For fans of the Morse franchise, a lovely complement
I must admit I teared up a little bit when young Morse looked at himself in the rear view mirror and saw old Morse looking back at him. It's lovely to see the background to one of our beloved TV characters, to see the story start to build. The attention to 1960s detail is very good, and most of the acting is excellent.

Good, not great
Since this movie has came out people have praised it immensely and it has even garnered some Oscar buzz and I was looking forward to seeing this movie for months especially since I am a long time fan of the Rocky franchise, but when I saw it, I have to say I was disappointed, if you are going to see a boxing movie from 2015, see Southpaw.

I am hooked on the Percy Jackson series. It reminds me of Harry Potter, but with a bit more of an academic edge to it. I didn't like the 2nd book as much as the 1st, but it was still an entertaining read. I'm going to go start the 3rd one right now. BTW, I saw the movie for Book 1...did NOT like it at all. The book was MUCH better!!!!

This book was so readable and completely interesting. Of course, I saw the movie first, and as is the case with most, I prefer the book now. I'm not particularly well versed in the Holocaust, so I was glad with the amount of history she included, as this was, history on trial. I was glad I ended up reading the book. IMO the Plaintiff is completely revolting and makes my skin crawl.

I hate hate hate this movie... And trust me I've seen it enough to be 100% certain of that fact.

I have always hated this movie since the first time I saw it. I just find everything about it so boring and it is way to long, had a cousin who made me watch it 2x a day for like a month so yeah I have some butter feeling about it. Lol.

My Bloody Valentine 3-D (2009)
2009 | Horror, Mystery
A pretty average slasher film and definitely based around the 3-D, it uses as many scenes as it can for this effect. I only saw it on DVD but you can just tell what scenes, effects were done for the 3-D parts. Very bloody and gory in places, with a slight twist if you can call it that. Overall pretty good but no doubt more fun in 3-D mode.

**An Arc Copy From The Publisher**

A nice book with good clear instructions and a helpful guide on what fabrics to use, As the Arc copy of the book was only a sample I can only include comments on the couple of quilts that I saw which is disapointing, That said they were nice designs with good pictures and easy to follow instructions ideal for the beginner or for someone with more experience.
