Blake lively
Just been to see this movie it's not bad movie kinda reminded me a bit of gone girl with the plot and Anna kendrick always good plus Blake lively as her missing friend. Anyway the film keeps us guessing right too the end with all the sub plots and red herrings would have liked it more if it was less like gone girl and been slightly different movie

Missed opportunity
A slow burner of a horror which is more psychological creepy than really scary. It's very subtle with the scares which come about more from the atmosphere created. Unfortunately the ending felt rushed and fell flat. Also a couple of things just didn't fit in how the characters would act in certain situations.
Overall not bad, but after a slow good build up it falls apart a little at the end.

Much lower review than the other books because for Kelsey to like Shakespeare so much, she finds herself in that type of situation too often. Plus even though she "chose" and by not wanting to hurt people's feelings she is just hurting a lot of people. So, while I like the book it is like "being stuck in a bad soap opera". All it does is make her looks selfish.

Santa being just a little bad for the right reasons. A police cash and reindeer on the loose. As Santa and a sibling duo race to save Christmas. Throw in some seriously cute and well trained elves and you have a family movie night that will be filled laughs and and heartfelt years. So get the popcorn and settle in for a night of family bounding time.
Fantastic
I absolutely loved this series. So much that I'm now reading the book just so I can make it last longer. The fact we're seeing stalking from the stalkers perspective is so chilling but addictive to watch. At quite a lot of points you could feel bad for Joe and in the end you are rooting for him because of his charming character. I am really hoping for a second series.
David McK (3372 KP) rated Aliens Omnibus: "Earth Hive", "Nightmare Asylum" v. 1 in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Omnibus edition containing two spin-off novels from Fox's Alien franchise: Earth Hive, and Nightmare Asylum.
Reading these, I kinda get the impression they were released before Ali3n - definitely before Resurrection - as they're very much modeled on Aliens (that's the second one: the one with the 'S'). While, for spin-off novels, they're actually not that bad, they're also not going to win any awards for literature, or set the world on fire!

Well seems I'm the only person who didn't like this?! I thought it was a Rom-Com but it's more of a Rom-Drama. Quite weird and quirky, I just found it painfully slow, long and a bit boring. The 2nd half isn't too bad but the film didn't need any where near the run time. I would say it's most like The good girl with Jennifer Aniston but I enjoyed that more than this.

So much better than the others.
The film needed a reboot. I know they were popular but I thought the first ones with Angelina Jolie were so bad they were near unwatchable. This is a good fun adventure, like a female Indiana Jones movie. It won't set the world on fire but it's quality entertainment.

It's for Kids
Look, it's not Citizen Kane. But kids movies are usually not great, and kids Christmas movies are especially bad. This was actually enjoyable, especially because of the voice acting.
If you are an adult, I can't recommend watching more than once. But as a parent, I look forward to watching this over the Jim Carey version ever year.
