Zuky the BookBum (15 KP) rated The Most Dangerous Game in Books

<i>So. Many. Short. Stories.</i>
Sometimes these kinds of weird, old school, random books really hook me, but I can't explain why. This is one of them. This story has the most simple of plot lines, yet it does so well to inflict fear and excitement into the reader.
I loved the writing. I loved the tension. I loved the plot. I loved the psychopath. I loved the ending.

A real page turner! I've had this book for awhile and having read White Crow by Marcus Sedgwick and loving it, I decided to give Midwinterblood a go.
What am amazing book!! I finished it in less than 24 hours! It's like reading a bunch of short stories that are part of one big story.
I'd definitely recommend this book as it's definitely one of my now faves =)

A decent slow burner
For a fairly short film, 1hr 40mins, it's incredibly slow paced. It feels like a much longer film and could easily have a good 20mins cut from it. Apart from that it's a pretty decent thriller. The trailers are a little misleading, there is little Horror here. The story is good with an ending few will see coming.

A decent film
An interesting story with a good soundtrack which plays a strong part in the film. The lead character played by Aml Ameen is the stand out performance. It's not got the most intricate plot and it would have been nicer to have a bit more of the music. Often used for a very short time. Worth catching if not quite reaching dizzy heights.

Very poor
A really poor collection of 3 short horror stories. All looking very outdated and silly, the acting is terrible apart from George Kennedy in the first story. The 2nd and 3rd stories barely have a plot to mention. The animation inbetween is rather poor as well, should have stuck with Tom Savini in the mask, rather than the cartoon. There are much better horror anthologies out there!
AT (1676 KP) rated The Wedding of Popeye & Olive in Books
Nov 25, 2018 (Updated Nov 25, 2018)
The Wedding of Popeye and Olive had all of the main characters in it, plus a rich ex of Olive's that wanted to steal her away. She was kidnapped, and Bluto tried to get her back at the same time as Popeye. The story was short, cute, and stayed true to the Popeye characters. However, the illustrations were more modernized. I wasn't a huge fan of that change.

Eddie could do no wrong at this early stage of his career and his fresh take on comedy was nothing short of amazing and this film was one of the best of his 80's line up.
It's a fish out of water story peppered with Murpy's unique ultra cool flare and timing which makes this one of the best 80's cop movies and an instant classic.
