Bit more back story shown than the original

Will likely send you to sleep
An unnecessary reboot of a classic horror film. It doesn't offer much that wasn't in the original and pales in comparison.

You are 100% right - can't beat the original.

Well I have to say it did take me awhile to get through this book. It wasn't bad, but there were a few parts that seemed to drag a bit. The story is interesting, a twist on a classic which is a tricky prospect. This was done well.

Instant Classic
Watching this not by choice I was in complete awe of this movie. Moana is inspirational for all children but specifically young girls. Has themes of importance of taking care of environment as well as your community. It's sensational.

Classic Harris, introducing Hannibal Lecter
Having watched the entire film series, the book is a fantastic background to Dollahyde's insanity. There is much more detail to his experiences as a child which gives his personality more of a well rounded character. There is no villain like Hannibal Lecter.
  
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Action/Adventure
One of the best Zelda games of all time. A unique cel-shaded art style that still looks fantastic today. Classic Zelda gameplay - puzzles, dungeons, etc. (0 more)
The art style may not be for everyone. If you don't like Zelda, this won't change your mind - it's the same old formula. (0 more)
  
Get Out (2017)
Get Out (2017)
2017 | Horror, Thriller
A truly creepy, truly beautiful movie that subverts long standing tropes in horror about race. A worthy heir to classic horror films like the Stepford Wives and Rosemary's Baby.
If you want to see a study in how to use motifs brilliantly, this is a movie I would recommend.
  
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Pulp Fiction (1994)
1994 | Crime
A masterpiece of modern cinema. Just as brilliant now as it was 18 years ago. A timeless classic, with some of the best dialogue and delivery imaginable.

Well cast and consistently well performed, with an indie feel but endowed with main stream sensibilities. This is a MUST SEE!
  
Dumb and Dumber (1994)

Classic
This movie has Dumb in the title twice so if your not a fan of laughing at people being stupid it won't be for you. This movie brings some nostalgia for some. It won't make you laugh really hard but it's still a good one to watch.

2015 | Comedy
Absolute comedy genius. Mackenzie Crook has written and directed an inspirational classic. Full of both comedy gems and heartwarming moments, I’d find it almost impossible to find anything better than this. Absolutely everything about this is perfect. Watch, enjoy, and let your life get a whole lot better.

Perfect for younger young-adult readers. This reads like a classic Dickensian ghost story, plenty of creepiness but nothing that will keep a young reader awake at night! This story was very well told, and I enjoyed it even though it was written for a much younger audience.
