I hate clowns, really hate them. Ever since I was about 11 years old and decided reading IT would be a good idea. That's a hell of a novel for a child to struggle through and it wasn't until many years later I felt brave enough to watch the movie - it just solidified my hatred of clowns.
So it was kicking and screaming my not so darling husband dragged me to watch IT a gleam in his eye the entire time (I swear the man is a psychopath sometimes).
In my not so humble opinion this remake is far better than the original despite being 10x more terrifying to those of us with a bad case of coulrophobia than the 1990 version. It's creepier with better cinematic focus and acting.
I'm looking forward to seeing the story and my terror continued in the sequel when the psychopath drags me to see that one too.

5 Fantastic Stars. This is the first I've read by this author and even though it's book 3 of the series I didn't feel that I'd missed anything vital. The action started nearly straight away and it just didn't stop. Love the love, hate relationship between Jared and Sparrow and can you blame him after what he thinks shes done. If I could award more stars I would. Just bought the rest of the series.

1998 | Crime, Drama
Powerful and poinient study of hate and racism with a redemptive role for Ed Norton who put himself through rigorous physical training to play the role of violent neo-nazi Derek Vinyard.
Norton plays the role with quite a frightening realism and tone and his journey to redemption is a very rough readjustment.
His brother who idolises him cannot quite understand the transition..still a very relevant movie today as it was in 1998.
  
This was interesting. it was fast paced and at times i had to wrack my brain to remember what character was who. It had a lot of love to hate villans though and that was so much fun. I enjoyed the characters. I didn't think it needed to be quite as long as it was only because some places seemed to drag for me.. But overall the storyline was good and the characters were good :)

Dark Comedy
I found this movie to be absolutely hilarious. It is dark humor, and not the type of humor for everyone. However, a group of kids in the wilderness trying to save their friend along the way with crazy and unexpected twists and turns proves to be a hilarious match. This movie does contain a lot of sexual comedy, so if that's not your thing, you will probably hate this movie.

The action scenes and Gunplay
The story overall is pretty lackluster and by the numbers (1 more)
The last 30 minutes are unnecessary should have ended right after the cartel base operation Siege sequence
Female Punisher the movie
Overall I didn't hate this movie like most people have I thought it was decent and went out to do what advertised to do which is be an action movie with a Strong badass female lead

This was quite funny but in an extremely silly sort of way. The whole thing felt kinda puerile and shallow.

Aisling amused and annoyed me in equal measure; she behaved ridiculously. Drake came across as an insufferable sleaze. And the supporting cast of characters seriously lacked depth and development.

I did find You Slay Me to be an entertaining read -I certainly didn't hate it -but it far from blew my socks off.
