Dawn Marie (22 KP) rated Tower of Terror (1997) in Movies
Jan 19, 2018
Disney tv movie can't remember if it was a wonderful world of Disney or a Disney channel movie based on the tower of terror ride. It is the anniversary of the disappearance of kid actor Sally shine and 4 other people who disappeared when lightning hit the Hollywood tower hotel. Disgraced reporter buzzy played by Steve Guttenberg gets a visitor and decided to go there to take a story with his niece played by Kristen dunst. Is the story true, are there ghosts, evil forces, or nothing but dust in this tower only watching it will you find out. A little cheesy but good Disney fare.

Story/Plot
one of the best samurai films of all time.
If you've seen a fistful of dollars, you know the plot, but this is the original, and it's still the best version of the story. Bruce Willis even tried his hand at it, as a 1920's gangster called Last Man Standing. It's an epic story of one man who wanders into town and finds two sides of the town at war and both are evil. Which means the townsfolk are the biggest losers. He brings clever justice with him. Watch it if you've never done so. It's well worth the time.
Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Between Good And Evil in Books
Feb 21, 2018
I love a mystery that wastes no time with setup and has me in suspense from page 1, and Between Good and Evil did just that. It took a bit to catch on to what was happening in Auburn Notch, but thats not a bad thing. The reader is left to piece things together as the story unfolds just as the characters are, and there is a lot going on. The characters are well formed and the descriptions very detailed. This was a good first installment, and Ill be watching for more Promise Flynn.
NOTE: I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2530 KP) rated Spy Camp (Spy School #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Ben Ripley is thrilled to have completed his first semester at spy school and is looking forward to a summer to relax with family and friends. Unfortunately, he has to attend Spy Camp instead. Worse yet, evil organization SPYDER is after him again. Either he will join them or be killed. The action is not stop and we get to know the main characters a little better. Mix in a dose of humor, and you've got a winner that kids and adults will all enjoy.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Wishmaster (1997) in Movies
Jun 10, 2018 (Updated Jun 5, 2020)
Good Horror Premise
A fun idea for a new slasher premise, at least 3 sequels were made. The SFX do look a bit dated now and the gore effects, along with a lot of elements to the film do look a little low budget. With Wes Craven as exec producer and starring Robert Englund and cameos by Tony Todd and Kane Hodder adds a few nice touches for the horror fans. Andrew Divoff plays the evil Djinn very well and with a dark sense of humour. It is a bit cheesy but has a certain charm to it, one for gore fans and horror buffs will enjoy it more than most.
Lilyn G - Sci-Fi & Scary (91 KP) rated The Exorcist (1973) in Movies

I love this movie
I watched this movie when I was way too young, and it terrified me. Fast forward years later when I had my first kiddo, she was asleep up in her room, and I went to watch the movie again. Quickly it occurred to me that I couldn't watch it. I was still so scared of that movie that I was sure my kid was going to get possessed or something from me inviting evil in the house.
Completely ridiculous, but there it is! LOL
(I've since lost some of my fear of the movie and now can just giggle about it.)

The fantastic 4 (& a half)
The incredibles follows a family of heroes, mr and mrs incredible and their 3 children.
Dash, violet & jack jack.
After bob (Mr I) breaks a marriage agreement of retirement, he is contacted by a mysterious client who seeks help after a rogue machine starts terrorizing his private island, which is a test to attempt to catch mr incredible and permanently eliminate him, concocted by syndrome, a former mr incredible fanboy. (Enter the angry wife & kids)
(So a family of four heroes, working for a secret evil genius, who they personally know? Are we sure this isn't a MARVEL movie?)

Good Quality VR, Good Range of Games
The PlayStation VR is a fun, immersive way of playing a good range of Games and experiences...and scaring the hell out of loved ones.
The quality of the hardware is excellent, although no matter how you put it on, some light will always sneak in from somewhere, which does detract from the full immersive experience you were hoping for.
One of the best examples of VR games (albeit the most unnerving) is Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which is ok to play normally, but made all the more terrifying in VR!

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated The Grace Year in Books

I received a copy of The Grace Year from Wednesday Books through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
It's a cute pink cover, isn't? This story is not cute or pink. It's a brutal story of misogyny and control.
Tierney is a dreamer who is not allowed to dream. Her existence is destined to be an evil siren who lures men to their Doom.
Fighting back is not an option. Until it is.
It's a story about survival and how your worst enemies can be the ones who should be on your side and your allies can be who you least expect.
..
Absolutely brilliant.
