There is a lot of sick and twisted-ness in here which I always love, but it's the story and the great set of characters in this book that really got me into this! There are also added bonuses for Stephen King fans with many subtle references to different books, showing that this story also takes place in his father's universe. PS. Be sure to read "a note on the type" at the end :-)

Horrifyingly good
This is another great film from Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg (also director of Patriots Day). It's tense and truly horrifying to see what these people went through. For myself although I know of the incident, I didn't know a lot of the detail or back story so it was good to see this covered. There are some great effects, and some great acting from a very well known cast.

There is a lot to say about this book, but I don't like giving spoilers. I will say that it is in my top ten favorite books of all time.
It gives you a disturbing sense of being both a child and an adult at the same time, equally amazed and horrified by events taking place. It makes you miss a place you've never been, while being worried you might have to go one day.

spidey is back and has some new tech its a fun rollercoaster ride but it seemed like it was aimed at a younger audience and the tech he has seemed more like ironman on the whole its a fun film and has some real class actors which help but i was really expecting a lot more from this film

I'm very disappointed with this! After hearing of it for so long and from a big Stephen King fan, I couldn't believe how poor this is! Looking very dated, thought it was an early 70's film not mid 80's! It's drawn out way too long even at 90mins. It's not scary, just weird. There was a re-make recently not to mention 7 sequels!! Hopefully they are a lot better!

Weird but addictive
I didn't realise this was the group that did "stressed out" which i like a lot. The words don't always seem to make sense but that's party of the weirdly addictive effect it has. The "melody" is catchy and the mixture of different styles of music, from hip hop, rock and pop, to reggae, rap and indie music. It just makes it more interesting.

The set-up had me hooked for most of the short story, and then it got a <s>little</s> lot silly, and then it ended. So now I don't know what to think. I mean, I liked it, but overall it left me disappointed in where it went.

Andrew Koltuniuk (767 KP) rated Shazam! (2019) in Movies
May 5, 2019
Shazam was a really fun movie. It had a lot to live up to with how poorly the DC universe has been doing. It really managed to deliver on the promise that they made. The film felt right and I didn't feel like it was forced on me. I felt like the film was a bit dark for my taste and what DC was trying to do, but I really liked it overall.

Not bad
Not too bad. Felt kind of like a teen x-men story. The acting was decent and the cinematography and effects were pretty cool. Hard to say it's "great" as these types of movies are done a lot(people with powers). This was a decent take on the subject matter, though. It's also safe for the kids to watch with you on family movie night. Plenty of entertainment. Worth a watch!

This is the first book in this series by this author. This is a short romance read but the author has packed a lot into the pages. This book is definitely sexy and sometimes heart felt. Amazing characters, you will just want to read more about. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
