Brutal Thriller
I had high hopes for this as the trailer had a @Man on Fire (2004) vibe to it. For a short film it's very slow most of the time, feels more like 2 hours long. The plot is simple and I expected it to be more drawn out. Phoenix performance though raises this above average.

I adored this short story and the cover is incredible! I love fairy tales and legends so this was well and truly perfect for my style.
Such stunning, vivid imagery. It reminded me of Gaiman's writing throughout, beautiful and terrifying all at the same time.

Another good technological based short from Bradbury. This is about the powers of technology and spoilt children.
I loved how even though the parents so desperately wanted to turn off their house, they couldn't quite resist it enough to do it, ending in a not so nice surprise.
Even with its predictable ending, this one gives you the shivers.

Brilliant, but short, story arc where Deadpool is sectioned after acting weirder than normal, and is then made to kill all superheroes. How he goes about this is brilliant, though at times you are left wanting more. My favourite scene was when Deadpool killed the Hulk. The ending was clever and in tune with Deadpool's 4th wall breaking.

Beautiful Movie
The animation is beautiful, a credit to the previous Ghibli crew. I felt that the story lacked in ways and it left me wanting more when it was over. Still enjoyable but could have used a better story arc. Somewhat predictable and then falling short of other expectations, it is still worth a watch.

I was slightly disappointed in this book - I think I had way too many high hopes and was a bit let down. I thought each of the MC were slightly annoying - though I do like Tanners friend a lot - The story was great and the concept was cool I just think it fell a bit short for me.

Past its best before date
After a very funny 5th and 6th films in the Pie franchise this takes a total nose dive. It looks so low budget, short on ideas and humour. With a new angle again with a new cast, except a small role for Eugene Levy as usual, it doesn't feel like the other films.
Roxanne (13 KP) rated Not Microwave Safe: A Halloween Story in Books
Nov 14, 2018
This was a fun short story with a few good twists and turns to keep the reader interested. I found it both funny and creepy as I really liked the characters but I absolutely hate clowns. I would say this is more a comedy than a horror but I'm still going to shelve it as horror because...clowns.
New binge watch
Great series. Had me binge watching like mad. The storyline wasn't too predictable and the characters are given semi detailed back stories and progression. Similar concept to others but love the way this has been done. Obviously has been dubbed into English but after a short time you don't notice
