Rand vs. Hand
This show isn't nearly as bad as I had heard. It does have its moments, though.

Throughout the season, Danny Rand swings between two opposing mentalities. He's either moving forward in self-righteous pursuit (one born of being the Iron Fist) or wracked by crippling doubt (which happens whenever he's proven, or told, that he is wrong). That, combined with a shell game of villains, makes this show a little more difficult than the others (Netflix/MARVEL) to concentrate on. I found myself easily distracted while viewing at times.


On the plus side, the action was decent. The villains were good, as numerous as they were (it's almost like they took their turns), and even some of the featured Hand fighters offered promise. There were a couple that I wished had bigger roles than just set-piece obstacles.


All in all, it was entertaining. Hopefully a second season will offer a more captivating story.

This turned out to be an ideal read for the Halloween season. While many of the short stories here have a pretty "literary" feel, and some don't necessarily qualify as horror, they each have a haunting quality about them. The characters are always engaging, and I found myself caring for most of them, which is quite a feat given how few pages some were given in which to develop. And don't mistake my earlier comments to mean there is nothing scary in this book. There are quite a few tales here that left me creeped out enough that I will likely remember them for some time to come. This collection isn't perfect, but it really shows the promise of just how great a storyteller Mr. Hill would ultimately evolve into.

Sadly reviews from me will be on hold until my cinemas open again 😔

I promise I will try and review any new films I manage to see at home in the mean time however.

Please all I ask is to stay/bare with me and all the other instagram reviewers out there like @hawkeyefilms @the_halo_halo_guy @fergmaster as this is going to be a tuff time for us, the movie business, our pages and most of all our passion of seeing films on the big screen.

So please sit tight, stay safe and stay a follower until all this chaos comes to an end.

YOU ARE ALL APPRECIATED, VALUED AND KEEP US EXCITED TO PRODUCE NEW CONTENT. LOVE YOU ALL.

"I can’t wait to see this new release! I have such incredible memories of watching this (probably just on a VHS borrowed from the library) and gushing over it with my mom and sister. All that gorgeousness, safe harbor from stupid rules, humor, light and landscape, and Kiri Te Kanawa blasting your heart out—such a welcome alternative for a young teenager into year six of the Reagan era. I am such a fan of how E. M. Forster’s novel engenders hope and the promise of a sane and healthy relationship between humans, love, and nature and themselves. This film is so fun, and feels like everything is coming from such a knowing, good, and caring place. It supports you! Be true to yourself, do the right thing!"
