Weighing up the church and personal beliefs
Jeanette Winterson's classic semi-autobiographical story about growing up as a lesbian in a devoutly religious family shows the internal battle she had to deal with as a young girl. The exorcism scene is comically tragic as it's horrifying to think about how a girl is not accepted for who she is. An interesting story, but at times seemed a little repetitive.

So, What Would You Little Maniacs Like To Do First?
Of all the amazing 80’s movies I watched, this is the one that I watched the most... I was watching it daily at one point, and could even quote the movie word for word.

Shame they don’t make movies like this anymore, this is a cult classic and was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish (tinge of nostalgia incoming...)

This is the second book in this series by this author. Amazing well written characters you just fall in love with as you read. This book is packed full with action, suspense and passion. This is a classic love story with added extras such as betrayal and feud. I can't wait to read more from this amazing author.



Highly recommended

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Visually amazing movie so many things to catch in the background Great reimagining of the classic characters (1 more)
Lots of nostalgia definitely felt like it was more geared towards Generation 1 fans
Story is a bit cliche there are several reveals that were pretty obvious at least to me anyway And some of the plot points and motivations didn't really seem logical (0 more)
Got to catch them all nostalgia that is

What We Do In The Shadows (2014)
2014 | Comedy, Horror
An alternative horror comedy with classic monsters who house share, who would have thought this up as an idea and whoever green lit this took a risk that pays off even though it's quite a divisive and Marmite movie.
It seems as though it's one large skit without a plot, but each of the characters play off each other so well that this is easily forgotten..a surprisingly pleasing watch.

Classic Thriller
I finally got round to seeing this and boy I'm glad I did! It's a brilliant multi layered thriller with twists a plenty that will have you guessing right up until the end. Oh and what an ending! There have been some great thrillers over the years and this offering from '97 is up there with the best of the genre. Check this out!

Pete Ingalls wakes up in the hospital certain he's a great PI, so he sets up a new office. But will he be in over his head when he gets two clients? A spoof on the classic PI stories of old, and an entertaining mystery to boot.

When Netflix started it was an alternative to video stores. Now that Blockbuster is gone, Netflix has decided to all but give up on giving us new and classic studio movies to watch in favor of original programming. Now we're paying for essentially another network. I'd rather them have Blade, Alien, Old School and all the movies I want to see rather than 13 Reasons or whatever.

It's ok with a few funny scenes, not quite sure why it's held in such high regard by many?! The sight of Sandler losing it with the clubs and smashing stuff up is over used. A has the odd moment that will make you laugh out loud, but a long shot short of a classic! Odd to see Ben Stiller in such a small, weird role in this?
