Creepy without being tacky
Return to the psychological horror
Loved this movie, a return to the psychological horror rather than the cheap gruesome horror so often portrayed in recent horror-thriller movies. Fantastic cast and premise with enough humor to alleviate some of the stress. Personally the ending wasn't too bad but could have been explored a bit more in the film.

Over Hyped
It was lackluster for the entire 2 hours and 20 minutes. The movie was basically "Captain America: The First Avenger" with a mediocre story, an unconvincing lead, and a dumb villain. Chris Pine tries to add a certain panache but every line I heard I just thought of Star Trek. I was disappointed, to say the least, for the scores it's getting.

Emotional end to the Trilogy
A magnificent film, a thinking mans action film.
Harrelson and Serkis performances are amazing, it continues to be a shame that Serkis doesn't get any Oscar nods for his work here.
The plot moves along at what feels like a breezy pace, a step up from the previous films which felt a little plodding.

May have been oversold to me
It was good overall, and had some funny parts, just not my cup of tea.
Engagement (which is good) led me to stress a bit- but I find the idea of being in space really unappealing to begin with...

This book lets you in the POV of the 4 main characters, they all have their own secrets to hide, making them as much of a suspect as they already are. The characters are so lovable and the book makes you thing.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Heartbreakers (2001) in Movies
Apr 7, 2018
It's a bit like Dirty rotten scoundrels but this time it's the women who are the con artists. It's funny in places and has a tad more of an adult theme to it than DRS. A bit long at around 2 hours but at least that means the lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt is on the screen a bit longer. Overall quite light hearted and predictable but not too bad.

Fantastic young-adult adventure
In this book you follow Torak, a young boy, who develops an incredible relationship with a wolf pup. Together they go on an amazing adventure. Full of twists and turns. The author is extremely good at descriptive writing, as you read this you can really picture the scenes. This took me 2 days to read, that's how good it is.

Almost
Contains spoilers, click to show
Its almost as good as the first one, but it depends on what kind of story line you are looking for. I liked this one because this has more of a family friendly story line. It's about teaching kids to get along. It focuses on the kids and the legos as well. It's not a bad movie at all it's just a lot different than the first.

May 1, 2019
I really loved Angelfall the story is unique and I really loved all the characters. Ee really has a way writing her characters that they are gritty and real plus her female characters especially Penryn was definitely my favorite she was such a bad ass and I just wanted her to kick everyone's ass!
Also I was so happy to finally come across a book without instalove thank you Ee!

Good story, but not scary.
Complaining about special effects is pointless, because it's a very old movie.
The idea and the story are great. Reasoning behind character choices is interesting.
The only bad thing i can say about this movie, is that it lacked the scare factor. Maybe it is because of the unrealistic amount of blood, or maybe it wasn't scary at all, who knows.
