Detective bits drag
Dimension still only put a film out to keep the rights.
Time to deliver judgement on the new Hellraiser.
Just finished watching this and i have to say while its not perfect, its leaps and bounds ahead of Revelations.
The main crux of the story is the hunt for a killer called "The Preceptor" who is killing his victims in line with the 10 commandments. A pair of detective brothers are trying to crack the case and are assigned a new female partner.
The Cenobites are again things macrabe beauty. The Auditor is superb and played by director Gary Tunnicliffe. The Butcher and The Surgeon deliver a wonderful kill early on. Finally theres Pinhead, he looks amazing and Paul T Taylor gives a rousing performance throughout.
The theme of judgement is carried through with an assesor and a jury. The guilty cleaned.
The detective bits drag a bit and really slow the film down. The kills are delivered with gore and gutso and this feels like a new start for the franchise.

So in final Judgement, this new outing for Pinhead should see more sequels to come but if the quality of the Cenobites in this film is maintained then we have such sights to look forward to.

Beautiful sets and stunning visuals (1 more)
Songs taken straight from the original
Some of the songs seemed to drag on longer than necessary (1 more)
The acting ranges from over-the-top to dreadfully underwhelming
Doesn't quite live up to the original
Beauty and the Beast isn't, by any means, a bad movie. It's faithful to it's source material, while adding a new twist on some things. The problem is that it will never be as good as the original and it tries it's best to be better. At least it answered one of my questions from the original: why would a prince not be able to read?

As a military fiction fan and a sci fi fan this was the best of both worlds in one. I loved how most of the stories were from either a LBGT perspective or a female one. Also the various views of war from authors(and in a lot of cases) soldiers from not only different branches but different countries. There were one or two stories that were very difficult to read because their wordiness caused them to be pretentious and drag on(one in particular). Over all though I would recommend this book and would like to see some authors turn the short stories into full length books.

I find myself at a loss on what to say about this book. At times I was throughly engrossed in the story and fascinated by what made Humbert do the things he did. I often found myself wondering why Lolita didn't seek out an escape much sooner. Then there were points where I was utterly bored, where nothing really happened and the story just seemed to drag on and on with no end in sight.
With all that being said the book was okay. Not one of the best ever writen as many argue though and not one I will likely ever pick up again.

A good detective mystery.
The Cuckoo's Calling is a great first book in the Cormoran Strike series. I greatly enjoyed the mystery and putting together the clues. The book was a little long winded and dragged in areas with quite a few red herrings. However, book and it's mystery are good enough to keep you hooked throught the parts that drag. This book is definately for those who love a good detective mystery, but not so much for those who like thrillers. I personally will be reading the following books in the series based on this debute.
