Dark Scary Stories
This movie was very good, i jumped couple of times. I thought this movie was rated R, because of some of the death sences, cut to the first one. But it turns out its PG-13 and man oh man that first death sence was terrorfying and horrorfying. Guilmoro Del Toro only produces this film, but i wish he also directed. He knows how to make monsters scary and make monsters look terrorfying. I didnt read the short horror series of books. So i went in not knowing anything. I do want to read then know, because of this movie.

I would highly reccordmend going to see this film because it is very good.

Exquisite Corpse is a series of interconnected vignettes about some of the women in the Surrealist art movement. They were largely overshadowed by the men in their group, and many started off as their lovers, girlfriends, wives and muses. But many were artists in their own rights. They were non-conformists, rebellious, resistance fighters, and they were all less well-known than their male counterparts.
There are examples of their works throughout the novel, and these pieces of art along with their stories, no matter how short, encouraged me to go and look for more information and art.
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole and the author for the serialisation. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
  
Really a collection of five short(ish) stories rather than a novel in its own right, this is chronologically the last in the Hornblower series, published the 10th of 11.

The Napoleonic wars are now over, with Hornblower dispatched to - you guessed it! - the West Indies in charge of a much reduced squadron, where he finds himself embroiled (yet again) in various and sundry adventures, all 'topped off' by his survival of a Hurricane after his appointment is over.

I'd read elsewhere that this could be described as a coda to the main Hornblower saga, and that seems a fair enough comparison to me: basically, an extra piece added on to the end of a tale!
