Not quite what I hoped
I have to start by saying Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds really does become his character. He is Deadpool there is no doubt about that, he is someone you can love and laugh at. I enjoyed this film, it did make me laugh, I probably would watch it again. But to me it didn't live up to the first one, the humour was still there but sometimes forced. A lot of action which was expected and I enjoyed being part of the X-Men universe. There isn't much bad I can say about it, just that I expected more after loving the first one so much.

This was a great follow up to the 2014 film. Taking place shortly after the end of the first movie, we are able to see what happened to the characters. Brandy, still terrified and traumatized from the events of the first film is reluctant to continue her haunt adventures with her friends. The twist at the end of the movie is what made it work for me. This wrapped up the overall story well. I also love the uniqueness of the two movies. It's fun to get a "behind the scenes" look at haunted houses and events. It makes the story feel very real. 8/10 for me!

First of all, being a fan of BBC period dramas, I absolutely love the genre of the TV mini-series. And The 10th Kingdom is one of my all-time favorite. I remember watching it our recorded copy on video cassette (hard to believe its that old ?) as a child and I'm pretty sure that it was the source of my fascination with fairy tales. The special effects are actually surprisingly good. It's a pity that it took them so long to make this first series because it would have been interesting to learn about some of the other kingdoms in the second "book." Overall, such an amazing cult classic ?

fab read
This is the first book in this series by this author. Be warned this book has a cliff hanger ending. This is an amazing book from the first page. The characters were amazing and I fell in love with them right from the start. This is a romance read with added mystery and suspense thrown into the mix. I couldn't put this book down till I'd finished it, I was on the edge of my seat till the very end. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended start to this series

I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book

Movie Favorite

"It’s the first of Haneke’s film I saw. When we were in film school, Sean [Durkin] called me and said, "You've got to see this film." We went to the NYU library and he first showed me two scenes: the one on the train where Juliette Binoche gets spit on and the red room scene where she gets directed off screen by Haneke. It was one of these moments where I had been waiting to see a film language that really spoke to me and this film had it, it made so much sense to me. From there I fell in love with Haneke."

I preferred the first one. This seemed like it was going great and then that end bit just seemed to appear out of nowhere. I didn't understand quite why she was so upset by it. Instant WTF? moment. And then later on, right before the end, the bar scene and her vow for revenge...also another WTF? moment. In my opinion Tate, what they'd done wasn't so bad, so now I'm debating whether to read the last one.

I'd love for Jameson and Tate to get together but if it's as much of a mind-f*ck as the first two books I'm not sure I wanna read it.
