Movie Rating

This is a very good film, quite violent and gritty with a strong cast. Fed up with the soft treatment of criminals and thugs in England, a group forms to administer their own justice. A very relevant subject at the present time as a gang culture seems to be on the rise in England. Although the films deals with getting back at those directly linked to the characters in the film, rather than random people. Everyone will have a view on this. Maybe it could have been done slightly better, they storyline wavers a little in the middle. However it will provoke a reaction from everyone.

Loved, Loved, Loved

I had won Wildfell by London Clarke in a giveaway. I'm really happy I did.

Wildfell by London Clarke is a true gothic horror that takes place in London, England. I loved all the character especially Nigel and Alice. While they weren't major characters, I still had a soft spot.

I don't want to give too much away, but I enjoyed the whole plot line of people going missing and a haunted house.

London Clarke did a great job with the setting of London, England even though she's not from there.

I would definitely recommend this book to those 15+. It is so good!

This book was well written. I had to keep in mind the time periods it was set in while reading it due tothe labels used. I think it accurately portrayed what being a lesbian in the 1980's was like. The interaction between the characters seemed forced but again I believe this was done intentionally to add to the overall mood. I think there were quite a few sterotypes in this book and that was a bit off putting but as I said in the 1980's some people were fitting those just to fit in. Overall it was a well written and edited book.

Well that was enlightening - I never knew what any of the words meant - I had seen a video online where individuals label people as what they think they are - and I had no idea what anything meant, this was quite informative - though they now need a book about ALL individuals, because there were some words used in that video I still have no idea what they mean - a guide like this for all genders would be superb. The graphics were cute and the "voices" in it were also well done and thought out. A great GN for those wanting to learn a bit about gender neutrality!

This was one of the few book series that I obsessively read and instantly loved. The romance isn't fast paced, there's historical facts that are interesting, and Maniscalco really knew how to captivate not just me, but other readers too (I got my friend obsessed with this series as well).
I will say, its not for those who don't like the extreme detail on violence and gore, but if you're a fan of crime novels and topics such as Jack the Ripper, then you ought to love this book!
I'm so glad I found this book and would happily recommend this to many people.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Trick 'r Treat (2007) in Movies

Have Some Candy

Trick 'r Treat- is one of those horror films that not alot of people heard about, seen and forgot that it excist. Its also a very underrated horror film.

The plot: Interwoven stories demonstrate that some traditions are best not forgotten as the residents (Anna Paquin, Brian Cox, Dylan Baker) of a small town face real ghosts and goblins on Halloween. Tales of terror reveal the consequences of extinguishing a Jack-o-Lantern before midnight and a grumpy hermit's encounter with a sinister trick-or-treater.

I like the interwoven stories, how their are connected to each other.

I would recordmend this film.
