I love this movie
I watched this movie when I was way too young, and it terrified me. Fast forward years later when I had my first kiddo, she was asleep up in her room, and I went to watch the movie again. Quickly it occurred to me that I couldn't watch it. I was still so scared of that movie that I was sure my kid was going to get possessed or something from me inviting evil in the house.

Completely ridiculous, but there it is! LOL

(I've since lost some of my fear of the movie and now can just giggle about it.)

Premise of story
Paul Bethany makes this film
I wasn't sure about this movie the first time I watched it, but over the years I have come to respect Paul Bettany so much as an actor that I will watch, and enjoy, anything he's in. This story centers around Mo, and his ability to read characters out of books. He's known as a silvertongue. But when he accidentally swaps his wife into a book, releasing a criminal in her place, he refuses to ever read aloud again.

This movie is good. It's worth a watch if you're in the mood for something different and enjoyable.

What a twist!
Oh my. Been waiting to watch this after watching the trailer a couple of months ago and just watched it today on Netflix on it’s debuting day.

I won’t write too much on the storyline as I do not want to giveaway any spoilers to the amazing twist that lies within and will just advise you to watch it.

If you love sci-fi, you’ll love this film.

If you love thrilling, edge of seat stuff, you’ll love this film.

If you love twists in films, you’ll absolutely adore this film!

Contains spoilers, click to show
You watch the trailer and you think "Hey, this looks kinda creepy." So you decide to give it a shot.. you invite a friend over and you watch and ..now you don't think that friends ever gonna come over anymore because of your horrible taste in movies. Look, this could have been a solid little scare if they had focused more on the Hitker occult mythos rather than over used tropes. The only hatred I have is for this movie

I want repress the memory of watching this like that ex Nazi oppressed his daughter.

Not that many films better than this!
I don't know if I can recall the amount of times I have watched The Thing in sheer amazement every time.

The suspense is still there not knowing which member of the Antarctica squad will become a mutation next or even when The Thing will reveal itself to them and the audience.

Some may say Halloween is Carpenter's best film which is hard to argue against; however, I love The Thing most of all.

I can still watch it again and again and be mesmerized, disgusted and in wonderment of its sheer majesty every time.

A Christmas film to miss
If you are looking for a GOOD feel good Christmas movie, give this a miss. I struggled to watch this to the end, and I am a self confessed Christmas movie junkie.
The acting is poor, stilled and stunted. The story line is sickeningly bad and very unbelievable. The only semi good thing was the beautiful house, scenery and town.
There are a couple of familiar faces (one being the female doc from Stargate) but even that didn't make the film watchable.
Life is short, we all want to sit down and watch a good Christmas movie, this not the one you want.

Fun
This movie was pretty much what I expected it to be - a little cheesy, but with some cool effects. They did well with the monsters - although it seemed strange that two of the three creatures developed more than just size and aggression while the gorilla just got bigger/stronger/ more aggressive but was otherwise the same(watch and see what I mean). Anyway, the acting was pretty good and the cinematography was, too. Overall this was a fun, entertaining movie that could be watched with the whole family. Plenty of action, some bloody stuff(nothing too nasty) and a good dose of comic relief. Worth a watch!

Don't waste your time watching
I used my child free evening to watch this crap. I was so so so disappointed. I'd seen the trailers, I was so into it. Until approx 17 mins in when I guessed most of the bloody fil.lm. It was so predictable and laughable. Not haha that's so funny but haha oh god why did I waste my money on this. The story line is so rubbish I can't even express it. I don't know who came up with this crap but I'll be making sure I don't watch any more crap

A must-watch Documentary - Drama
An excellent insight into what happened at Chernobyl Nuclear Powerplant which has opened up my interest in the subject and made me read more into the characters /history etc.

The suffering that followed in the wake of the disaster is mind blowing though the 'official' recorded death toll is only around 35 people.

A must watch for young and old though some seems are upsetting / distressing.

Although the team of scientists who supported after the incident were mainly depicted by one character in the series, the bravery of those people is inspiring and should not be forgotten.

The greatest animation made
If you haven't seen this just stop. Stop reading this and watch it. It is absolute perfection. It is the only film I watched and then watched it again straight after. No wonder it won an Oscar it is a masterpiece.
Based on Japanese folklore, Spirited Away doesn't treat it's audience dumb like Disney often does. It doesn't limit its imagination, it continues to push it's imagination and concepts to the ones from dreams and becomes hypnotic and beautiful. Go and watch it.
