Myth meets contemporary
What a unexpected read this was. In fairness, I didn’t have a lot of preconceptions, considering my last encounter with Diana Prince was the very old series years ago. It was a exciting read, packed full of action with a great Greek mythological context and background. I didn’t expect the contemporary setting for some reason but it worked really well. I enjoyed seeing Leigh Bardugo’s words set in the contemporary world. The diverse characters were both fun and real. I could really read more from this world and these characters.

Interesting, odd and wacko
If you can find this documentary out there somewhere give it a watch.
There are a lot theories put forth while film historians, professors, Kubrick worshippers, etc. try and explain lots of wild hidden meaning, fan theories and even the infamous how Kubrick filmed the "fake" moon landing (Danny's Apollo 11 sweater).
Some of the commentary is pretty out there, but some is actually almost believable.
If nothing else, you get to watch Kubirck film montages the entire time and what could be better than that?

Despite having 90% less Jack Black (in physical form, he still provides the voice for ventriloquist dummy Slappy), and a complete change of cast, I actually enjoyed this a lot more than the first movie. Better paced, with a more fun cast, Goosebumps 2 takes its time relishing in the creepiness that is Slappy, the ventriloquists dummy. Having him create havoc within a family environment before he unleashes the rest of his Halloween gang on the town. Took my daughter and nephew to see this and they loved it. Great fun.

Although this book is aimed towards children of 9 years plus, I believe it's still a great read for adults. It really is a lot of fun! It's an adventure story filled with magic and mild horror, which in my opinion is a great mix. I knocked a star off as I thought the ending was quite abrupt. A massive build up which lead to a bit of an anticlimax.
I liked all of the characters and would like to see if they return in the second installment.

Just ok
Watched this older movie on Crackle. I'm a Lucky Liu fan so was hoping for a treat. Overall this movie was mediocre, though. Story was ok but could've played out so much better. Several familiar faces, but they couldn't really save this one. The ending was quite anti-climatic. If you REALLY like vampire movies you MIGHT enjoy this one(though I think you'll find a lot of liberties taken). Otherwise, this one is really NOT worth a watch. (Some partial nudity so not for the kids)

Flawless!
Reminded me a lot of the music from Moulin Rouge which I also loved. I love the combination of classic melodies with a modern twist. A day after I watched the film and I'm still humming all the songs and downloaded a few of them.
This is Me is amazing and I also love Never Enough. Should've won the Oscar.
The songs fit into the story so well as well. It never felt like they were out of place or awkward. They married the story flawlessly.

"I received an Advance Reader Copy of the book from the publisher." In Carey Scotts newest book which is coming out in July she tackles the hard subject of fear. I am going through a painful moment in my life that centers around my health condition and a lot of the things Scott shared with me is helping me through it. I appreciate her in depth study on fear and not being being afraid and what God has said about it in the Bible. This is a great book to dive into.

The start of something special
To date Maria V Snyder has 9 books in the chronicles of Ixia and they are truly spectacular. It starts off with this one, and if highly suggest buying her books in sets of three, as I can guarantee you'd want the next one immediately.
The pure creativity, imagination and plot twists and nothing sort of genius. They keep you wondering and guessing what is going to happen next.
These books are my friends, they have supported me through a lot in my life.

STFU
Contains spoilers, click to show
A short review. The jump scares were awesome if terrifying. The monsters or aliens or whatever they were sure sounded a lot like Jurassic Park raptors. John Krasinski looks hella sexy in his Ted Kaczynski beard. The little gal in here did an excellent job with her nonverbal communication. A quiet moody teen? I didn’t know there was such a thing. This movie is worth watching just to get to the last 30 seconds.
