Not as bad as I had thought it would be
I had heard bad things about this movie so I was not expecting much. I was however pleasantly surprised.
The storyline actually made sense, it flowed well but I do feel that it was too long, with some parts I felt could have been shortened, runtime is 139 minutes, probably could have cut down some of the slower parts of the film.
The aliens are pretty cool actually, they remind me of ones from different films but at the same time is unique to this film. I particularly liked all its arms and how they move.
Chris Pratt is brilliant as always, but the rest of the cast are brilliant as well, they all work well together.
Overall this film may not be the best but actually I really liked it, its different and the CGI and action is great.

The Dark Phoenix??
Contains spoilers, click to show
I have to begin by saying is I am glad Fox is done with the X men. This bad excuse for a Dark Phoenix story was by far the worst of the lot. I thought the Apocalypse movie was bad. They made one worse! I know there is only so much you can do in a movie but to call this The Dark Phoenix was not the right movie title. Maybe it should have been called X Men: The Alien Invasion. That's all this movie was...a story about Jean Grey getting the Phoenix powers and Aliens trying to get her and steal the powers to rebuild their race. That's the storyline. It seems there wasn't even an effort to tell the story half way right. But at the expense of going on a rant, Fox is done so maybe now Marvel can do the X men justice. My recommendation...don'r waste your time on this abomination.

Jesus. H. Christ.
It's 2019, and I've finally sat down and watched Sharknado, after hearing many years worth of friends and even random people tell me how it's the epitome of a bad-good movie.
That, my friends, is just a big fat badly-rendered shark of a lie.
There is nothing redeemable about Sharknado. The acting from everyone is awful and the special effects are laughable (Easily worse than a late 90s music video).
There are some scenes that just baffle me with their inclusion. Nothing really makes sense, and all of this would be perfectly acceptable if it was indeed 'bad-good' or mildly funny, but any attempt at humour made me want to tear my ears off.
I would say a hard avoid on this one, but I'm going to persevere and watch the whole lot of them, just to add a review here. Will they get better as they go on? Pretty sure they can't get any worse!

I love love love this series. I can't wait for series 16 to start.
It has so many highs and lows. You go on the journey with Meredith. You see her grow and go through so much especially when Derek died. It's surprising how much someone can go through so much and carry on. I have laughed and cried. I only started watching the series in 2018 and I completely binge watched this and was watching 5/6 episodes every evening but wasn't bored. Sometimes I couldn't stop watching as the episodes always ended on cliff hangers. It's believable as bad things happen, people do die when some series bad things don't happen. So many shockers along the way. It is a series that you can get into no whatever what series you start on...Somethings may not make sense but you can still grasp. I prefer watching it right from the start. My partner is now hooked.

The Rules of Enchantment is a steamy fantasy story where good and bad aren't always as clear-cut as you might imagine. It reminded me of a mixture between Harry Potter and Robin of Sherwood - and that is not a bad thing!
Leith and Kyler make for excellent main characters, superbly supported by Rowan. The world-building was wonderful, giving the reader enough information to be able to navigate through the world without it just being an overload of information.
I don't know if this is going to be a series or not but I sincerely hope it is. I would love for Rowan to have his story! And I still need more from Leith and Kyler.
This was a brilliant fantasy story that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.
