"A collection of magical, supernatural Japanese folk tales, first recommended to me by a well-traveled and well-read friend, this collection has a special significance as a four line footnote from this book about a young boy training to be a samurai inspired the screenplay of my first feature film, “The Warrior.”"

Well done
Lots of action and great cinematography. The acting was good and the story unfolded well. There some ups and downs with a few, somewhat predictable surprises along the way. Chris Hemsworth was great. There's a lot of violence in this movie so maybe not for the kids. Otherwise, worth a watch!

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A BEAR HUG I am going to give you a bear hug, is a sweet adorable book. It has some rhymes in the book. It has animals and their cubs. This is good bedtime book for young readers. Young Readers could learn to read of this book as well.
 
It is done well. The pictures are well drawn. The pictures can tell the story themselves. It about giving a big hug and getting ready for bed.

Well well - my first Holly Black book - I wasn't disappointed - there was a lot happening in the middle, some of which I felt unnecessary - and there was a particular missing " at the end of a quote which drives me nuts. The book overall was great - it was well written and it was exciting and fun to read. And that ending. That ending was exciting and I really can't wait for book 2 to come out - thanks again owlcrate for another series I have to continue lol

Really Good just wish they did that one thing...
Monochrome is a solid solid effort. The movie is great, well acted, well shot and a genuinely well thought out and put together movie. Having said that there is one problem I really had with this film and unfortunately I think it could of been a massively interesting story point, how they would have portrayed it effectively, I have no idea but that's not for me to figure out. Jo Woodcock and Cosmo Jarvis are superb.

Movie night? Try one of these! Do you love one of these as well? Let me know what you would add.

I rarely watch a movie twice. I’m too restless to sit through them again. But there are a few that I can just watch over and over again and still love. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.
