The best of the fantasy horror shows on TV!

Better special effects than True Blood, this show is the new and better Buffy, that uses actual folklore in adding to the creativity of the Supernatural created universe, unlike its predecessor who relied on created folklore to fill in plot holes. The later seasons have their ups and downs in terms of new humor and repetitiveness, but it is well worth the journey!

An episode to highlight would be when Sam and Dean face off against Famine, one of the four horses of the apocalypse.


Grab a canister of Morton Salt, a piece of pie and a blanket to snuggle in and enjoy the inside jokes!

A clever psychological thriller
How many books do you trust to be actually based on reality and are non fiction books completely factual? These are some of the questions that arise in this descriptive, slick psychological thriller. It follows the journey of a novelist with writer's block who seems to have been befriended by a woman who takes a lot of interest in her. The woman is enigmatic and secretive and who knows how much of her is real. It is written in the perspective of the writer and so it shows in detail how her mind unravels and is manipulated.

It leaves you pondering whether the protagonist actually imagined the entire thing?
  
This sweet little book, that gives brief details of the transcontinental journey, coast to coast all set in beautiful images that wouldn't look out of place on rail posters. This book is a joy to read. The details are to the point and give information that perhaps only the hardened American train enthusiast would already know. Several pieces sent me to the internet to search out more information and images to see what they looked like now. The imagery is stylised and in keeping with the between war period that saw rail travel such a big thing in the US. A lover of rail or someone who enjoys this artistic style needs to view this book.

I love this anime!

It is a brilliant, well thought out, comprehensive series with no end of twists and turns in the plot. In comparison to the original Fullmetal Alchemist, The Brotherhood series follows the Manga and flows a lot better than the original.

The series both follow the tale of Edward and Alphonse Elric as the journey to find a way to recover their bodies, Brotherhood however, in my opinion, covers a more fluid storyline with less plot holes.

I have to admit though that one of my favourite scenes is during the Fifth Laboratory when 66/Barry the Chopper reacts to Alhponse's lack of body despite his own lack of one.

this is the first by this author that I've read and it definitely wont be the last. this is a beautiful love story. the author has a fab way of making you feel like your right there with the characters every step of the way. this story flows at a very steady pace through out the book. the characters were very interesting and keep me reading long into the night. the relationship between the characters goes on a journey of lots of ups and downs till they reach the right path. i cant wait to read more by this author in the future.

highly recommended

Creed II (2018)
Creed II (2018)
2018 | Action, Drama, Sport
A fitting conclusion.
The original Creed was an incredible movie, so of course one has to head into the sequel with reservations that they couldn't possibly tell a story as compelling as the first. The film hits the ground running and never lets up telling three parallel stories that combine into one amazing journey. The film also beautifully never forgets or betrays its roots. Stallone knows the story his characters and the story he wants to tell with them. His Rocky beautifully compliments the brilliant and layered performance by Michael B. Jordan. If this is indeed the final chapter of Rocky series, it's a beautiful work of art to close the over 4-decade odyssey.

Gripping story from beginning to end
I got Kindle Unlimited for a couple of months and this is the third book I have read. Out of three this is the best by far. The story is told from the viewpoint of Heather and Aefre (The Crone).

Heather is a grieving mother who becomes obsessed with the circumstances of her sons death. Things are not quite as they seem.

Her research leads her to meet a number of different interesting characters and on a journey with a twist at the end.

Would definitely recommend reading this if you like something a bit darker from a book.

It Continues...
Our favorite characters continue their journey. In this book I must say Arya is my favorite. She shows her true Stark strength unlike her sister whom Im beginning to get annoyed by. As the game of thrones is played characters are starting to bud into true players. Some who dont want to play the game find themselves thrust into it.

Martin does get a little wordy in this book but the plotline thickens and its worth the read. Like the other two books I couldnt put it down. My copy was just called A Storm of Swords with no other title.
