While this is by no means a new take on the found footage genre, it did introduce me to the haunted house scene. I didn't realize that there are people out there that will try to go to as many set-up haunted houses as possible. This group's search for the truly terrifying is their downfall.
There are some truly creepy moments that were done really well.
There's a sequel in the works and I plan on giving it a view.

Loving This Book!
I devoured this book! The world of Loom is amazing and I especially love the bonus content at the back! It definitely helped with pronouncing the names and understanding the world. I love everything about this book, I can't wait for the sequel!

If you're looking for an intricate fantasy world, a plot that keeps you guessing and characters you can't help but love, this is for you! I promise you will not be disappointed!

Who says picture books are just for kids? This is just the cutest thing ever. I have so many more questions festering in my head, some maybe not for young'uns, like how did Octi's parents <i>really</i> meet? Are they still together? How does their home work if one lives in water and the other on land? What does a family reunion look like? If Octi had a sibling, how would he/she look? OMG, I need a sequel!

Another great Pixar movie, but not as great as it's predecessor
This was another great movie as you come to expect from Pixar. Overall it was really good and gave a long awaited sequel to "the Incredibles" but it didn't seem to have all the pizzazz and greatness of the first. Still well worth a watch but as it seems to be with a lot of sequels, it cant keep the momentum going from the first movie

No sequel (yet) (0 more)
I absolutely loved this book. The whole parallel universe stuff really got me thinking. The science wasn’t too high brow and the concept was really easy to understand. This book is unique and I haven’t read another quite like it. It left me wanting to know what happened to all of the other Jason’s that were left in the other worlds. I genuinely couldn’t put this book down.

Absolutely incredible!
This sequel is highly underrated. If you loved Ender's Game then you'll love the next installment. Card wanted Speaker for the Dead to be his life's work and wrote Ender's Game almost as an after thought. There is so much character development and the social commentary is fascinating.

There are so many new characters to fall in love with and the same old genius Ender. The air of mystery is thrilling and makes this book nearly impossible to put down!

Personally, I wasn’t very impressed by it and thought it could’ve been much better. I absolutely loved the first one as it had a strong foundation building the characters and an interesting storyline, as well as a phenomenal soundtrack. The sequel just didn’t seem to be able to follow its predecessor’s footsteps as the storyline was not only confusing but poorly put together. The action scenes were great but the comedy was a bit over the top with an emphasis on dick jokes.

Wow looking so outdated now, and Virtual reality is barely used these days. Didn't take off like it was predicted. This is based on a short story by Stephen King, surprised to see a young Pierce Brosnan in this. The graphics for the virtual reality scenes look like an arcade game from the era. It's not very original, yet some how got a sequel a few years later. For a good film about Virtual reality check out the much better eXistenZ!

Contains spoilers, click to show
The original scared the crap out of me as a kid (the spiders, the monkeys, the general chaos). This one only seemed to have the vaguest connection to the first one and mostly went for laughs above any type of serious plot points or characterization. They had almost 22 years to think of a better sequel! As a stand-alone movie it's okay but they could have done so much more with it.
