So much fun

This may look like a kids film, but it’s just as appealing to adults, especially those of us that are young at heart!

The animation is fantastic, and the jokes are nonstop throughout the entire film, even with Batman narrating the opening credits. The few songs included are funny and so catchy and clever. There’s a lot of references here back to other Batman media (including the shark repellent from the Adam West days) as well as a lot of characters from outside of the DC universe. Not many other films could get away with fitting in gremlins, Sauron and Voldemort! What had me in stitches the most was the characters voicing the gun shot noises - genius!

[The Moon Coin] by [Richard Due] was an adventure into childhood for adults like me, and a great trip through imagination for young people. I know as I was growing up I wished that the lands I heard about in stories were real and that I could travel there. What [Mr. Due] has created is worlds of imagination, to which he has allowed his characters travel. Unfortunately, what they find is not exactly what the stories portrayed.

I encourage everyone who has an imagination, and those in desperate need of one, to take the journey to the Moon Realm with Lily and Jasper. Of course, at this point we know more than Jasper so I guess I must read on!

How do a group of students survive after being trapped in their high school after a huge blizzard that never seems to let up? The story line and characters of the book seemed to react appropriately to the situation at hand with different cliques and personalities. I only had a few issues with how they would react like having your teacher go out in the snow storm and he never returns but nobody seems to be very concerned that he's probably dead? I think the girl's especially would be freaking out about this. Other than that and what seemed to be a slightly rushed ending this is a great book for young adults giving them a mix of suspense and survival.

Rather tense at times for a horror comedy. (4 more)

The three main characters.

Corey Feldman gives one of his better performances.

The villains are surprisingly creepy.

The ending.

Pretty crazy 80s comedy/horror about neighbor paranoia with a young Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, and Corey Feldman. That sounds like a recipe for success to me. This typical film usually involves kids or teens investigating due to paranoia, but here we have adults which adds a level of comedy to it in itself. Love how the ending pulls a twist and then twists back. As a first time viewer you have no fucking clue until the credits roll. And all he wanted to do was enjoy his vacation by relaxing at home. I can relate.
