The design of the school
Great Survival Horror
This was a very good survival horror game back in the day. It had the feel of a teen, slasher film and reminded me of The Faculty quite a bit. Apart from the Resident Evil games and The Suffering there weren't many Survival Horror games about for the Xbox. The gameplay was very atmospheric, you often needed a torch to search around the school at night. It had a co-op mode for a second player. A great game for the time.
  
I finally finished this book in between reading others. I enjoyed it and learned a great deal. I'm glad Nonna's story was published. People do need to know what happened to so many innocent victims thanks to Hitler. She was right when she said the only "crime" these people committed was being born. I shudder and tear up often, thinking of the atrocities that so many went through and how many more of them perished, because of the evil and hatred of one man. I highly recommend this book!

A Kevin Smith flop
The story of two Canadian retail mart workers who live for their music, phones and of course yoga have their way of life threatened by evil bratwurst (the Bratties) that of course are nazi's who are trying to come back from the dead and take over the world.

This movie stars Kevin's Smith's daughter and the entire movie is dumb and not worth the time or the film it was put on. The only moive that Smith has been a part of that I disliked.

Flinch takes center stage in this fourth book in a middle grade series. Part James Bond spoof part adventure, it's another fun ride as everyone on earth starts trying to take it over. And the team survive a new school and figure out why everyone is turning evil and how to stop it? I've loved all of these books so far and can't wait for next year's entry already.

There's inconsistency. The super pig varies in size so as to suit each scene. But, hey, I'm an observant pedantic. (0 more)
An alright fantasy film with a serious message.
A lovingly told story with that theme that seems to run through most stories - Good vs. Evil. It's not really an anti- meat eater film but more focusses on how consumerism has made the breeding of animals money orientated. Greed then subverts compassion. Great stints put in by Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhall and Paul Dano.

I don't recommend this as a stand alone, there's just too much going on from previous books in the reaper series and also the fabulous dragon king series. Saying that, this is the first book I've read in the reaper series and I did enjoy it. I'm going to have to read the others to get a few things straight and I'm loving death, who'd have thought he'd be a she! Talin and Neve is a great story and I hope the evil Bran gets what's coming to him soon

Not much of a horror or scifi
Let's not bother
Well only tried this out as recognised the actress who plays Tiggs was popular on UK TV. It's a very low budget film. Set in an advanced facility with advanced Ai and augmented reality specs. It's all a bit vague as to why the kids are there, what they are learning. Very quickly turns into people just running down dark corridors, air vents trying to escape the evil kids. A poor ending which was quite predictable caps it off.

Bleach is a live action anime movie currently showing on Netflix. Teenage boy Ichigo Kurosaki acquires powers from a wounded female soul reaper and sets about destroying evil soul-eating monstrous spirits called Hollows. After about 40 minutes of listening to the awful English dubbing, I remembered that I could switch to the original Japanese audio track with English subtitles, and my enjoyment of Bleach immediately increased tenfold... Bonkers Japanese action with big ass swords and magical bows and arrows. A slow start but lots of fun towards the end.

I'll start this review by stating how this movie has a giant name behind it in Gunn. Having watched the marvel films he has produced I had high expectations, plus I just love a good horror.

However, his talent does not seem to extent into horror. The horror element was seen from the start, and there were no shocks in the film. I'd still recommend the film to anyone dippong their toes in the water, but not for anyone who wants a good film to watch.

The Grudge's Ring II
The Grudge 2- is a decent sequel, if you like the first one, than you will like this one. This one is scary, horrorfying and spooky. Not to mention creepy.

The Plot: A young woman (Amber Tamblyn) encounters a terrible curse while searching for her missing sister (Sarah Michelle Gellar) in Tokyo. The evil imprecation fills its victims with murderous rage, but it also brings together the diverse group to unlock its secret and save their lives.

Overall it is a good movie and a decent sequel.
