"I’ve read a lot of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky and Chekhov, but I loved this for Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, who is so disarmingly pure. I loved his descriptions of how he saw the world, and how he saw life, and was so surprised and delighted by the fact that it makes you giggle."

The main problem with the film is that the film was so delayed, the director could not reshoot footage. The actors had changed since they filmed their scenes so reshoots would have required refilming a lot of the film which would have cost too much. The movie suffered from this lack of funds.

3.5 stars.

I didn't quite enjoy this as much as the first.

The author seems to shove a lot of stuff into what is quite a short book. The best bit for me was the blossoming romance between Rylee and Liam and I look forward to seeing where it will go next.

It took me a while to get into this but when I did I flew through the book. I'm very intrigued by a lot of the stuff that transpired near the end of this and would love to read more of this series. I'm also hoping for a little Zoey/Ryker romance.

"There was a lot of Elvis in my house, because my mom is of that generation. All of his movement, the way he played guitar… I was attracted to it right away. I picked up that record and the first song I heard was “Mystery Train” and just how spooky it felt."

Good fun
Introducing completely new gameplay mechanics was brave, but I think they pulled it off. As a huge Pokemon fan I play this game a lot, but the fact certain Pokemon only appear in certain continents is both cool and irritating.

I've had people (not on Smashbomb) say I talk a lot of nonsense (not this polite) about my review on Aladdin 2019. I tried to explain that I wrote what I thought. It's my opinion and as much as I like Will Smith, he just didn't play a good part as genie.

Yet another quick and easy read from the author. It was about time Sawyer got a girl for keeps but I do believe he'd changed quite a lot from the good guy we hear about at the start of The Vincent Boys. That being said, I did like this Sawyer too.

This film is a lot of fun to watch. Will Smith is hilarious, and the scenes where he drags the alien in the desert, are my favorite out of the film.
The cast is great, and Bill Pullman's Independence Day speech is probably one of the best speeches ever delivered in a film.
