Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated /BLUSH-DC. Volume 2 in Books
Sep 6, 2019
It's almost tearing me in half this series. I want to like it but it's so...dark, despite some of the nicer aspects of it.
Our main girl is so damaged but she's seen some light in the form of our guy, only he saw something horrible and has now turned his back on her. I wanted to strangle someone (preferably her uncle, ugh!) and bang their heads together. Now we've been left with a cliff hanger at the end of this volume.
So off to start volume 3.

Great read
Dita was a prisoner of auschwitz, books were banned and if found punishable by death, she became the Librarian of block 31, block 31 was like a small school it was to give children a sense of a little normality with a small amount of books which were given out by dita and also looked after and repaired, as you can imagine it horrific what the children saw and the conditions they had to live in. Such a heartwarming and upsetting read.

Good action scenes
Crazy Characters
All aboard for a great Action Comedy!
I wasn't sold when I first saw the trailer for this and after seeing the critic reviews my hopes were not raised to expect much.
But I'm glad I did catch it as it is very funny. Very few films make the whole cinema audience laugh but this did many times. Yes it's very violent but in an over the top way. Imagine Kill Bill crossed with Snatch and that's the general vibe you get from this. Don't miss this train.

Funhouse
By Diane Hoh
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There are loads of great rides at the amusement park. The Devil's Elbow is the favourite, and always packed. When it flies off its rails, it causes a terrible accident. But Tess isn't so sure it was an accident. Someone knows what she saw, and someone is out to shut her up.
This is one of my favourites from Diane Hoh and the Point horrors. I’m tea enjoying this trip down memory lane. I really don’t like fairground rides.

A pleasure to be the first one to rate this so it can have a solid 1/10.
I saw the first 20 minutes so I think I can successfully say I watched enough of this trash to know that it was indeed TRASH. Everyone has shit on this enough already but I will take this opportunity to SHIT ON IT MORE. THIS IS AWFUL IN EVERY SINGLE WAY AND COULD HAVE SINGLEHANDEDLY DESTROYED THE VIDEO GAME MOVIE GENRE (Not that that would have been the worst thing of all time). BAD.

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) in Movies
May 23, 2021
Usually I would feel the urge to watch the series of films before seeing a new one. In this instance, knowing I've only seen one film (possibly two), kept me happy enough to go with this one. I wasn't convinced I had it in me to watch the whole series.
Detective Banks works alone in his departments after standing up against a corrupt cop. Now he has to partner with a rookie cop as he's thrown into a case as a spate of horrendous murders, with more than a passing resemblance to those that lie deep in the cities past, plague the PD.
The focus on the PD and Banks really worked for me, and the partnership between Banks and Schenk was strong. It transitioned the story well from being a Saw film without being a Saw film. For me that was a bonus.
Chris Rock was an interesting choice in the lead role. There are moments where he stood out and was convincing in the part, but others that gave me flashbacks to Dogma and Lethal Weapon 4. While it was an enjoyable piece of acting, it did occasionally take me out of the story.
Dynamics between the characters were pretty solid throughout, and I'd be hard-pressed to say someone didn't fit in the cast. What did put me out a little was the tension within the police department. There are some flashbacks that give you some context, but the current day points felt... too petty? But that might just be something I don't have enough knowledge of.
Not being tied to the Saw franchise probably helps. I liked the idea of this horror breaking out into a police thriller sort of thing, and I got Bone Collector and Criminal Monds vibes as I watched. Anyone who knows me will know that's a winner.
I was very entertained as I watched, but it wasn't until I got outside and was chatting about it that I kept stumbling across flaws that had thankfully escaped me while in the cinema. I did know the ending before I got there, and that didn't bother me as much as it had in other films. I think mainly because I was engaged in finding out the why of it all. Despite both of those things, it was a good film for me, but I sense a Saw purist might not agree.
