Story

Underwhelming end to the arc

So after X-Men First Class we got Days of Future Past, which led to Apocalypse, and now Dark Phoenix, While the first three were good entertaining movies, and even though Apocalypse wasn't the strongest it still entertained, and the came Darl Phoenix, which is sadly and wholly underwhelming 1 hour 54 minutes.

Sophie Turner should have shined in the film, the performance felt stilted and in place, painful to watch, the knock on effect from this, you feel no empathy for Jean Grey.

One scene is more laughable than tense when Jean/Dark Phoenix with with Erik/Magneto.

As the house of mouse now owns Fox I suspect a reboot may not be as far away with, on general, Disney / Marvel knowing how to do a great superhero movie.

The best bot about this film ? the badges you can get at Frankie and Benny's

"Apocalypse Now is sort of a fever dream of a movie. When you watch the documentary about the making of Apocalypse Now, you suddenly understand what everybody went through while they were making that thing, and what a huge, unruly beast they got involved with, not even knowing what the movie was going to be. Everybody just decided to be a part of it even though it was just this evolving daily disaster. That being said, it is an amazing tribute to the film, that the beautiful cohesive piece that it is, is what emerged from that craziness. So many scenes that are just so memorable, the amazing lines, and how it just totally transformed war movies because it would have those incredibly realistic moments but also, you know, the huge “Ride of the Valkyries” helicopter attack. And it’s amazing that it worked at all, you know, besides the fact that it actually managed to work beautifully."

Death in a Northern Town ( Deat in a Northern Town 1)

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

Follow the zombie outbreak as it happens in the small Northern English town of Runcorn, with journal entries from survivor John Diant, bringing you the apocalypse from his perspective as he goes in search for his missing daughter with his retro, chain smoking best friend 80s Dave.

Bloody brilliant!! I laughed so much! In my opinion it was well written and definitely funny. Love finding little gems like this especially from British authors. The Geese were just a fantastic idea and I loved this apocalypse included animals too. Loved the bloke throw zombies off the high rise block of flats and the zombies heads on pikes.
Can’t wait to read more I would recommend give these authors a go! X

Good One

This sci-fi thriller was captivating. The acting and cinematography were great. The storyline played out beautifully with a few little twists and turns. An interesting take on a technological apocalypse. Id have liked to have seen a slightly different ending, but I get it. This one is a very thought provoking movie. Nothing the kids can't watch(though they may not understand it all). Overall a great movie. Really worth a watch!

I just love these books. I mean where could you go wrong zombie nuns? The characters are super snarky, it is a weapon in itself. This is not your typical zombie apocalypse book though because it has the perfect mix of gore and humor. I have recommended these books to my zombie loving and lesfic friends because it is not exclusive in one genre or the other. Greatly looking forward to Vol.3.

The story of Santa after the apocalypse. Very gory, violent, disturbing, sad, and hilarious! Santa has had enough of his life, and wants to end things. However, one boy still believes in him, and as long as he does, Santa is forced to stay Santa. So...Santa goes to find that boy... If you can only read one Christmas story this year, screw Rudolph, Frosty, and The Polar Express. Read The Last Christmas!
