Orphan (2009)
2009 | Drama, Horror, Mystery
This psychological horror movie was pretty good. Decent acting and cinematography. The storyline played out well enough, though quite a bit of it was unbelievable. That the kids went along with so much was hard to accept, but the villain was played well. It moved along rather slowly at first but heightened to a pretty intense climax. Overall, for my fellow horror/ thriller fans, this one is worth a watch!

Story
Not one of tom hanks well known films but i kinda like it for its humor about a group of neighbours who suspect there new neighbours are up now good and set out to prove it. Tom hanks is always good supported by carrie fisher as his wife and the rest of the cast good film remember it well on vhs back in the day

Well done
This movie was better than I expected. While it was low budget, it was a very intense and powerful story revolving around human trafficking. The cinematography was done well. Though no big name actors, several were easily recognizable and the performances were pretty good. The story unfolded very smoothly and was emotional and thought provoking. Not for the kids but this drama is definitely worth a watch.

We have had Netflix for a few years and everyone from my children ages 2 and 6 as well as myself and my partner love it. There is always something to watch from Peppa Pig to Homeland. They have programmes that I haven’t watched for years and love to dip into again and again as well as new original content.

Amazing Courtroom Drama
This is the movie that introduced me to the genre that is the courtroom drama. This movie speaks to a lot of issues as well as being extremely well thought out. Tom Cruise really shines in his role in this movie and is especially good in the final act of the film. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is a movie buff.

Once again Brandon Sanderson has not failed to impress me with his amazing world building and his fantastic characters.

Well of Ascension was one of those un-pur-down-able books where you just want to keep reading to find out what happens. It was full of all sorts of twists and turns that were brilliantly done and really well written.

That ending though was outstanding. Completely took me by surprise

Supernatural horror
I started watching this movie on Netflix unsure of what to expect. It turned out to be surprisingly good. It's a monster story unlike any I've seen. Very creative and unique. The acting was good and the effects, while minimal, were excellent. The story played out very well and the cinematography was very well done. Kids probably won't like it much, but this one is really worth a watch.

I honestly had not seen this film for several years. I decided to watch it with my family on a whim while we were on a camping trip. I turned it on and realized just how well done this movie really was. There were a couple of effects that didn't hold up as well as they should have, but I was really surprised at how much I really enjoyed this movie.
  
This wasn't great literature, but then I never expected it to be. It is a nice, easy read though and I thought it worked well as a modern version of P&P, although the second half of the book could have been drawn out a little more I thought - it's not clear exactly what happens to Wickham for example, and I do like my poetic justice to be well served!

Feel good book
This book is such a feel good book and is probably very relatable for a lot of young people, it shows how its okay to be different and that just because you stand out from a crowd doesn't mean you can't do the things that everyone else is doing. Dumplin' is a well written, relaxing and easy read for any young adult
