Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Dark Alpha's Demand: A Reaper Novel in Books
Feb 13, 2018
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

Very weak story (1 more)
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.

Lee (2222 KP) rated Bleach (2018) in Movies
Oct 8, 2018
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.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt (Johnny Dixon, #2) in Books

I'd honestly forgotten how good this one is!
Hi Fergie!
So, it deals with fear on two different levels. The fear of abandonment. Grandma has a brain tumor and his dad's plane is shot down.
And fear of the supernatural. An evil person with a magic box that can turn people into mummies.
Johnny's determination to find the will and the way he goes about it is one of my favorite things. Because he's far from perfect but even with the mistakes he makes, Johnny is a good bean.

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall … "
A reworking of the Snow White fairytale, with Kristen Stewart taking the lead role and Chris Hemsworth taking time out from his Thor duties to portray the part of the Huntsman ordered to capture her and bring her back to the evil Queen (here portrayed by Charlize Theron) before instead becoming her protector.
And, yes, there are seven dwarves in this, although Snow White does not live with them at any stage nor are they given names such as Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy, etc ...
