Dean (6927 KP) rated Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999) in Movies
Jun 10, 2018
Well it's not as good as the first I'm afraid, good to see Andrew Divoff back again as I think it was a new actor for the 3rd and 4th films. He hams up the Djin rather well, but the deaths are not as inventive as the first. I didn't think it was quite as gory as the first and it didn't have the dark humour of the first either. If you liked the first you might enjoy this, it just doesn't reach the heights of the first.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Hancock (2008) in Movies
Jun 5, 2018
A cool blockbuster film with a good cast and great SFX but it just doesn't land a knockout punch for me. It all starts well enough with a funny take on of all the superhero films with a guy called Hancock who causes destruction whereever he goes and becomes hated for it. There are some great action scenes and very good SFX but the final third of the film has a twist and takes the film in a totally different direction to the rest of the film. Well worth seeing though!

Classic RTS
This game was a dream come true for me. Take the RTS genre (think Command & Conquer, Warcraft, StarCraft, etc.) then combine it with a franchise that lent itself very well to that type of game. You could choose Marine, Alien, or Predator, each with their own unique troops and abilities. The game felt very well balanced, although the controls could be a bit clunky at times, as some commands had to be buried in pop-up menus due to a limitation of buttons on the PS2 controller. Overall though, a thoroughly enjoyable game.

A big budget all star cast comedy!? Well it was quite a good idea of having a bunch of actors filming in the jungle, going for realism when actually they are under attack from a local drug cartel! Almost spoofs parts of platoon, Rambo along the way. It does have some very funny scenes and laugh out loud moments. Other times it's just a bit too silly. Robert Downey Jr was a very good surprise addition as was Tom Cruise as a Hollywood studio executive! Well worth checking out.

This drama/ thriller on Netflix(not exclusive) want too bad. The cinematography and acting were just ok, but the story was creepy enough to keep your interest. It's a "crazy babysitter" movie. I don't give the ending away but it definitely would make you double think who you leave your kids with in a night out. The kids were cute sings did pretty well for their ages. The main character(babysitter) definitely played the "creepy" part well, too. This one isn't the greatest film you'll see but it's worth a watch.
A co worker gave me this book because she recived two and at first glance it was not my kind of book by man I was wrong it was everything I wanted in a book that I didn't know I wanted ok I know that is cheesy but it was really good. The story flowed really well and the art work on the cover was beautiful (I know never judge a book by its cover) but it fit so well.

I really do love what Hayao Miyazaki creates. It's like any movie he puts out is gold. This movie is really wonderful. The characters are spectacular, and the animation is simply magical. I loved this movie a lot & I love the slightly creepy (Forest Spirit by far the creepiest) characters you meet as well.
FYI: If you're a parent looking for a new movie, please know that this anime is filled with violence & there is a reason that it is rated PG 13. It definitely relied heavily on the gore as well.

A must-have for parties.
I love this game. I don't have any idea hos to explain just how much I love this game. I love smashing different decks together, I love the silliness, and I enjoy the deviousness that goes with helping this game unfold. I have even attempted to create my own set--though that hasn't gone quite as well. Still, it was fun to try!
I highly encourage you to try this game when you're a little intoxicated as well-there's almost nothing funnier out there!

This one has been on my tbr list for a while and I finally got around to reading it after finding myself in a bit of a book slump. It was exactly what I didn't know I needed to break the slump lol. Light-hearted and fun, fast paced, thoroughly wonderful, and most importantly DRAGONS! Well one dragon for the most part but still... I loved it! Bought the second book immediately after finishing cause I just wasn't ready to leave Jennifer's world. Hoping my son will read them as well!

Flawless!
Reminded me a lot of the music from Moulin Rouge which I also loved. I love the combination of classic melodies with a modern twist. A day after I watched the film and I'm still humming all the songs and downloaded a few of them.
This is Me is amazing and I also love Never Enough. Should've won the Oscar.
The songs fit into the story so well as well. It never felt like they were out of place or awkward. They married the story flawlessly.
