Deborah (162 KP) rated A Kiss at Midnight (Fairy Tales, #1) in Books

Dec 19, 2018

I always feel I should like James' books more than I actually do. The first one I read, Much Ado About You, wasn't bad, but since that nothing of hers that I've read has quite hit the spot. I picked A Kiss at Midnight up as part of a 3 for £5 deal in the publishers outlet bookshop, and for that it was OK, but I'm glad I didn't pay any more for it.

For me, the whole thing doesn't hang together comfortably. The hero didn't feel that developed and it was hard to see what the heroine saw in him - obviously when he started getting his shirt off, it gave you a bit more of an idea, but I want something a bit less superficial... You expect the heroine to have more backbone than she really does. She's not going to sleep with him - and then she capitulates. She likes as a virtual slave to her nasty stepmother for seven years and then puts her foot down over impersonating her stepsister.

Entertainment enough for a quick read, but definitely not a keeper for me. A shame, as I usually have a weakness for heroes named Gabriel (Gabriel Cynster, Gabriel Jones....).

Chesca (7 KP) rated Doctor Sleep (2019) in Movies

I have to say, like others before me, that I wish I had re-watched The Shining before seeing this film. I think then I could have made more of a connection between both and appreciated the story more. I did enjoy the concept, but, for me personally, it felt as though this film had nothing to do with The Shining. Or that maybe my idea of what the shining was, was in actual fact, completely and utterly wrong! Which is more than likely 😂 but I just found the whole idea of the soul eaters, well off base. Although, I have not read the books and having spoken with someone that had, they have said that its pretty much how it goes...

Anyway, even though I struggled to find the connection between the two films, I have to say that the idea itself really drew me in. And the execution was beautiful, it was so visually pleasing at times! The acting was also brilliant and I am pleased I went to see it. Wish it had been a little creepier, I remember not being able to sleep soundly after watching The Shinning! But fascinating film nonetheless, a definite must see.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) in Movies

Kinect Activity

Paranormal Activity 1- hated it
Paranormal Activity 2- Better Than One.
Paranormal Activity 3- Its getting good.
This one- Paranormal Activity with Kinect.

One of the strangest product placment of all time, im not sure if Blumhouse or Parmount contacted Mircosoft or if Microsoft contacted Blumhouse or Paramount, either or it was strange to see the Kinect in this movie.

Anyways what did i think of the movie, i thought it was good, thisond and the 3rd one are really intresting and actually horrorfying/terrorfying/creepy unlike the first and some of the second one , which were so boring i could sleep though both of them until the last 5-10 minutes of both movies.

The Plot: It has been five years since Katie (Katie Featherston) murdered her sister and disappeared with her infant nephew, Hunter, in tow. Now, a new family is about to fall prey to nighttime terrors. A mysterious accident next door leads to teenage Alex (Kathryn Newton) and her family becoming the temporary guardians of Robbie (Brady Allen), a very creepy neighbor boy. Cameras installed throughout Alex's home capture the sinister events that unfold after Robbie's arrival.

I can say you can watch this one and the 3rd one.

The crew of Ghost Adventures have used it previously in their entertainment show as a tool to view “ghost” energy. It’s certainly an interesting concept anyway
