Maleficent: Mistress of evil- is a good sequel to the oringal movie. Its a better story, a better tale, better acting, a better villian and a more darker movie. Especially the third act which i will go into. So lets begin the review with the plot:


Maleficent travels to a grand old castle to celebrate young Aurora's upcoming wedding to Prince Phillip. While there, she meets Aurora's future mother-in-law -- a conniving queen who hatches a devious plot to destroy the land's fairies. Hoping to stop her, Maleficent joins forces with a seasoned warrior and a group of outcasts to battle the queen and her powerful army.

This movie like i said adds more to the oringal source, its more twisted and dark and for a PG disney film that is true. The third act has so many deaths, so many. You lose count on how many deaths their are. Michele Preiffer is soo great as the villian and her plot is so dark and twisted. Angelina Jolie is good again as Maleficent and Elle Fanning is good again as Aurora.

If you have liked and seen the first one, than you will like this one.

The show that gave me anxiety and trust issues
Season 1 of The Following is probably the least trust worthy show that has ever aired because as soon as you think you figured out who you can trust the writers basically pull the rug out from under you... Every single time.

The best part of The Following is that they really show the twisted mentality that can go on in a cult and just how easy they find it to pull more people in.


While later seasons fell short the first season is definitely something I would recommend checking out.

Heartbreaking in so many ways
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is probably the most heartbreaking book of the entire series because we see Dimitri in a light that we really wish we didn't need to. We see him through the lense of Rose, so for a while there is still some attraction and romantisizm, but we later recognize the amount of abuse and manipulation this twisted form impacted their relationship.

The best part of the book is meeting the Belikova family. I truly wish that we got more time with them in the series.

Twisted and dark
Deliciously dark and macabre
While this is not my usually fantasy book to pick up, I found myself being drawn into the nightmare unable to look away. The characters, while not very likeable, are interesting, and you do care where their story will end. It's been compared to Goremenghast, which I haven't read so can't compare, but it is well written. It's gothic steampunk, grim, dark fantasy, melancholic tragedy with horror sprinkled on top. I loved it and felt sad I'd finished it, but couldn't wait to get the next in the series.

Well Done
This psychological thriller on Netflix turned out to be pretty interesting. Topher Grace did a good job playing his role as the main protagonist. No flashy effects or true scares but the story played out well and ended up being pretty twisted. Kept you wondering what was in his head and what wasn't throughout most of the movie. I'd definitely recommend this one. The cinematography was well done and all the actors played their parts well. It's kind of slow moving at times, but really worth a watch!
