Dean (6927 KP) rated A Christmas Horror Story (2015) in Movies
Dec 17, 2017 (Updated Dec 17, 2017)
Great Christmas Horror anthology
I came across this last year and didn't expect much as a straight to DVD film. It turned out to be a little gem of a film. Mixing up various horror types from Slasher, Ghost story, mythical and the plain weird. All linked together by William Shatner as the small town local radio DJ. Reminded me of @Trick 'r Treat (2007) something for everyone, check it out.
Just as good the 2nd time around, this forms the first part of 2. Difficult to review them separately, other than to say Nick Briggs has managed to pick up these little threads from so many other Doctor Who tales over the years and weave them together into a stunning story. Paul McGann and Sheridan Smith crush it (as usual)... and then you get to that cliffhanger...

Fantastic Sci-Fi Series
I've read all the books that are out in The Expanse series so I was excited for the TV series. They got it so right. There are subtle differences from the books here and there, but overall they did a great job of staying pretty close to them. It's a fantastic sci-fi series because it's got all the bells and whistles; solid acting, great story, awesome battle scenes, and everything flows together beautifully.
Fun for the whole family!
Our family crowds around the TV in anticipation of the newest episode of clean sketch comedy. It’s something we can all enjoy together and go back to referenceand laugh about during the week. I love seeing my kids go back to act out the skits themselves. I love some of the repeat characters and that the cast stays up-to-date on current trends. Great show!
This was amazing! I love the art work and the story line was beautifully done.
Alana and Marko are soldiers from 2 different worlds,on opposite sides of a war. When an unexpected love brews, these two risk everything to stay together and bring their daughter into the chaotic world.
Written in the point of view of the daughter, this takes you on Alana and Markos Journey.
Cant wait to continue on with the next one.

I didn't really care for this book. From the very beginning there were so many character presented that it was incredibly hard to keep them all straight. They were either all related, in business together, or sleeping with each other. The writing itself was good, but it just seemed like the author was trying too hard. The mystery in the book fell flat.
All in all it was okay, but not an author I would seek out again.

Imaginative new fantasy series
I think this author is really on to something. This book was an exciting coming of age story set in a magical world. When the youth fails to live up to their potential they're thrust into a dangerous environment meant to activate their powers. In the darkness they'll need to work together to fight innumerable enemies in hopes of escape.
I'm really looking forward to reading the next installment.

Charlotte (210 KP) rated Jackie (2016) in Movies

an important & sadly unique historical perspective, from that of a woman (4 more)
aesthetically gorgeous, with varying filming styles/ techniques that are blended together wonderfully
creates an incredibly number feeling which allows you to relate somewhat with Jackie (see disadvantage of this below*)
interesting perspective in the way the film almost entirely ignores JFK, allowing Jackie’s character/personality to fully come across
incredibly well acted

A clever supernatural horror
Contains spoilers, click to show
I enjoyed this horror as it has good special effects and a clever story. The possession of the husband and his subsequent deterioration are quite graphic at times and the overall feel of the film is just dark enough. The musical parts are a minor hiccup but they do piece the story together nicely. From India to London this is a horror film that is definitely worth a watch.

Was a bit reluctant to watch because of mixed reviews. My thirteen year old watched it first and insisted we all sit and watch together. Sandra Bullock was excellent in the movie. The story kept my attention, although I thought it was a bit slow moving. Very thought provoking, and had my family discussing afterwards. It did remind me a bit of The Walking Dead. I would recommend watching it to others.
