Two wasted hours about the author of The Two Towers: Tolkien (2019) Review
“Tolkien” has little or no magic about it, except the ordinary everyday magic which helps almost two hours disappear slowly and drearily when large stupid folk like the Craggus buy their tickets. It is inclined to be dull in the middle (and also the beginning and the end); dress in drab colours (chiefly tweeds and mud browns); wear out your patience as it regales you with the edited vignettes of J R R Tolkien’s early life through his fever dream flashbacks in the trenches of World War I, the scenes of which are surprisingly, jarringly graphic and provide no deep fruity laughs at all.

Decent Horror
A slow burner but enjoyable creature, myth Horror. In a remote rundown town in Oregon a strange creature appears to be attacking local residents. It's very nicely shot and the locations add to the feel of the film. Quite a grim, run down, poor town that has long seen better days. Combined with large areas of remote woodland and mountains adding to the isolated feel. The main story takes the form of an old folk tale about a spirit taking the form of an animal and needing to feed.
The creature effects are good along with the gory makeup effects are both good. If you after a slow burner, errie horror that's a bit different to the norm check this out.

The best free thing ever
Look, I'm just going to say it like it is. This is free to download and it's absolutely incredible.
This is dark brooding Hip Hop, imagine world folk music instruments crafted in a blend of shadows that's work so perfectly. Then there is Shahmen himself. There are poetic lyrics delivered in his laid back bass of his voice. His voice is as bassy as the bass. Then to top it off he writes songs. Songs that are amazing.
It's hard to think this guy isn't huge but he isn't. He could be if everyone reads this and downloads it. ITS FREE. You won't regret it. Even though it's hip hop, indie and metal fans love this too. Awesome.

Charlotte (184 KP) rated The Gatekeeper of Pericael in Books

A well written story that pulls you into another world..... literally.
To say the book focuses on and around teenagers it's anything but aimed purely at young folk. If it hadn't have been for references to age I would have spent most of the book thinking I was reading about early twenty-something's.
There's plenty of magic and fraught situations that had me almost holding my breath and wishing that I could perform magic.
I enjoyed journeying with Porter (The Gatekeeper's son/future Gatekeeper) and his cousin Ames. It was nice seeing how each of them grew throughout and gained a better understanding of each other and themselves. Especially learning self belief and trusting their new friends.
A good fantasy that will keep you and your mini mes entertained and enthusiastic for an adventure.
