Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated I Kill Giants (2017) in Movies

I Kill Giants (2017)
2017 | Drama, Fantasy, Thriller
This is a movie that I have enjoyed so much from start to finish, the giants are amazingly done, you don’t get to see much of them, but when you do, you have the feeling of their sheer power and fear that Barbara is creating in these creatures.

But with the underlying story that her mother is ill and she takes herself off into a fantasy world to battle giants to escape the reality of true-life is so nicely done, I found myself very emotional towards the end of the film, but still lifted that Barbara has fought her way through against giants, bullies and the fears of losing her mother.

Lacks Sid Haig's Presence
Contains spoilers, click to show
So 14 years after the devil's rejects the firefly family return.A brief recap of the ending of the devils rejects starts the movie and its aftermath.Then once the principal characters finally escape jail they go on another killing spree which eventually leads to a shootout in a little mexican town against a gangster with a grudge against one of the clan

This film is easily the weakest in the series.It lacks the cutting presence of sid haig as captain spaulding (only appears in the opening 10 minutes of the movie) as he was sadly ill during the making of the film and has since passed away.

If you have seen the first two films then this is worth checking out but its instantly forgettable.

[Wildfire] is a story of a young woman trying to escape her past and what is expected of her and finding where she belongs. It is a true coming of age novel of love, loss and discovery. [Mary Pauline Lowry] catches the true feeling of rebellion of the main character Julie as she tries to overcome the pain of her past with the Pikers, a hot shot crew, forest fire fighters who often hike or fly into the heart of fires all through fire season. This book kept me reading and was finished off in a day. It was a very well told story.

I find myself at a loss on what to say about this book. At times I was throughly engrossed in the story and fascinated by what made Humbert do the things he did. I often found myself wondering why Lolita didn't seek out an escape much sooner. Then there were points where I was utterly bored, where nothing really happened and the story just seemed to drag on and on with no end in sight.
With all that being said the book was okay. Not one of the best ever writen as many argue though and not one I will likely ever pick up again.

To watch or not to watch
If you currently have an HBO subscription then you need to add this to your watch list right away. It's not one of Mel Brooks bigger title films, but it should be as it's just as witty and funny. A remake of a 1940s film, it stays true to the classic with a touch of Brooks. A polish theater troupe in Warsaw use their love of the stage to fool the nazis and escape the ghetto. It's a farce in the truest form, and when this movie makes you laugh, you will be rolling.
