Dean (6925 KP) rated Halloween (2018) in Movies

Plenty of homage to the original (1 more)
A few genre flipsides
More treat than trick
This definitely plays tribute to the original in many ways. With certain scenes, settings and especially the music. These are nice touches and definitely tie it in as a new direct sequel to the original.
I was surprised a lot of the kills weren't that gory and quite often not on screen. Often leaving the horror for your mind to image. Overall a good film although the ending felt a bit abrupt, but I liked the little details put in.

Hayden is adjusting to her new life and family in destiny falls. Another myster manages to find her and she ends up in a lot of danger trying to uncover the truth!
Another fantastic story that had me hooked on the first page. I really love the way this story flows. The mystery involved gets my brain ticking seeing if I can find out whats going on before the truth is revealed. There is a little bit of heartache involved im glad it doesn't last too long though.
I deffinatly recommend this series, uncovering mystery the warmth of a family and hope - brilliant!

Bethr1986 (305 KP) rated The Best New True Crime Stories: Crimes of Passion, Obsession & Revenge in Books
Nov 27, 2021
An eclectic mix of crimes
Basically what it says on the cover. A mix of different crimes that have been committed over the years some I haven't even heard of. In some parts it seemed like it was a rush to get to the end of the information and in others although it was in someway related to what was written it just slightly seemed to go off track which to me made it a bit awkward for smooth reading.
A very factual book and a lot of research has been done for the information. 4/5

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated RoboCop (2014) in Movies
Nov 2, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
The 80s were a great time for movies and in particular a very violent and at some times black humoured movie from director Paul Verhoeven, yes folks, I'm talking about the original RoboCop.
It's the film that a lot of us still love today, with its story of a good cop (Peter Weller) who is murdered by criminals, in possibly one of the most gruesome cop killings in a movie in the 80s, who is then pieced back together as an unstoppable crime-fighting cyborg, who is tormented by the memory of his death and in turn goes out for revenge.

ClareR (5667 KP) rated Manifesto: On Never Giving Up in Books
Jan 24, 2022
I don’t know what I expected from this book, but it exceeded my expectations. It was fascinating and Evaristo really shares a lot of herself: her triumphs, her failures, her good and bad relationships. She tells us about the lesbian relationships she had through her 20’s, and talks of her relationship and marriage with her husband. Her determination to run theatre companies with and for black women, telling black womens stories.
But it’s her perseverance that stays with me well after I’ve finished the book. She really didn’t give up, no matter the circumstances.
This is well worth reading.

David McK (3369 KP) rated Shanghai Noon (2000) in Movies
Jul 23, 2023
Easy-going martial arts Jackie Chan/Owen Wilson (and Lucy Liu) film, with Chan portraying the party of a Chinese Forbidden City Imperial Guard soldier who travels to the Wild West of America to rescue the kidnapped Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu), and falls in with outlaw Roy O'Bannon (Wilson) along the way.
As a Jackie Chan film, you pretty much know what to expect: lots of martial arts slapstick in his own inimitable style (and pidgin English, which is still a lot better than my non-existent Chinese!) and a few 'that's a terrible name for a cowboy' puns along the way!

Ok Spy Action
A decent Action film with not a lot of new ideas to it. The idea of some sort of device that can hack into anything has been covered by just about every Spy franchise going, even Fast and the Furious. The action scenes are good and it tries to add some crazy advanced tech in order to help out the main character with a visual aid. If you like these type of action films you'll like it but nothing much original to see here.
