Great Adventure
So many people said this movie had no plot and was just an excuse to use technology to create a raging monkey. First of all the plot is great. Second you have Samuel L Jackson. Third King Kong isn't even about having the best plot. It's about the wow factor. Between the king himself and all his little surprise friends this turned into an incredibly high action adrenaline rush that I wish I'd seen at the theater. If you stop looking for every movie to have profound meaning and let yourself enjoy the fantasy element you'll absolutely love this.

Easily my favourite book of the series by far! Laura grows up and marries, and her life really does start afresh in such a lovely and touching way.

The story is so lovely and concludes the series so beautifully in such a touching manner that it was just beautiful. I'm gushing, I know, and will probably edit this further when I read again in the future. The style, and happiness is overwhelmingly needed and so much better that the others.

I'm struggling to describe how much I love this and quite why, but I think it is just a simple case of a happily ever after.

One of the most intriguing beginnings evolve into one of those psychological mind-twisting books that divides readers. The literary equivalent to marmite, you will either love it or hate it! There are an awful lot of novels like this on the market but Feeney has a fresh style and creates characters and backgrounds that are believable, even if the narrative is hard to navigate at times. I admit, I had to re-read the ending. I wouldn’t want to outline anything here that would spoil the story so I will just recommend it wholeheartedly, just don’t blame me if you read it twice.

Had to check this film out a few times and each time I kept finding more and more that I loved and didn't notice the first two viewings. This film sets up the story for the next three films. Depp is fantastic, Jude Law is phenomenal, and I'd say Eddie is better this time around! Baby Nifflers is always a big plus, and I would love to see Ilvermorny in the next few films, enough of Hogwash haha! Amazing film, I'm excited for the rest of the series!

Loved this film and the combination of Paul Walker
and Tyrese Gibson worked a treat. The lovely Eva Mendes was as pleasing
to the eye as always. The story line was fantastic. Go undercover and
work for the drug exporter and then bring him down whilst saving the
girl. Plus doing all this in a modded Mitsubishi Evo and Mitsubishi
Spyder, amazing cars and the exhaust tones were pleasing to he ear.
Why should I watch it? – Any fan of fast cars will love this film. It is full of awesome cars, awesome driving and of course Eva Mendes!!

Just felt a bit like a prequel rather than the next step in the fantastic beasts universe (0 more)
If you're also a huge harry potter fan like me you will literally be on the edge of your seat and gasp every time you make a connection with facts from the deathly hallows book.

I absolutely loved it. However, i felt like they dragged the story too much in the 2nd movie and filled time with silly things just to keep it long.

Would love to have a debate with people on the ending if anyone's up for it.

I quite liked it.
I really enjoyed this movie, Bumblebee is just is lovable self and i like how theres abit of a background story on him before Whitwicky. I may be a bit biased because i adore bumblebee.. it had some very funny moments and just made you fall in love with the adorable Autobot all over again.. Now im not a Cena fan (liked him in cockblockers) but i dont think he added anything to this movie his acting made my eyes roll and not in a good way. If you're a fan of transformers you will really enjoy this prequel

The Kiss (Widows Club, #2)

6.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Rating
Like the previous book in the series, this was OK, but not a particularly memorable book. Apart from the hero and heroine and Ata, most of the supporting cast are pretty underdeveloped. I don't feel the urge to pick up the next Widow's Club book because I don't know enough about the other characters to have the urge to read their story! The only one given some development is Grace, who to be honest comes over as a bit too perfect!

It seemed a bit too strung out - hero and heroine obviously love each other - will they just get on with it?!

Not one to keep, but not a bad read.

So I kind of love this series. But I will put a note that it is super religious. And I mean if you don’t like books that push belief in God and his plan, probably just don’t read. If you can get past that it’s a solid idea that is just a great read. See below for a prize pack picture( authors can be awesome).

Should you read? Can you get past the religious obsessed book? Then probably. It’s a good after life after story that has a pretty awesome romance. But again it’s all about following and belief in God as the underlying theme.

I received this copy of Dream Daddy from Netgalley and Oni Press in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not gonna lie. Having played the game, I knew I would love this book.

It has 5 stories each featuring The Dad's from the game.

The art is different for each story, a touch I really appreciated.

I think my favorite was "Dungeons and Daddies" which did a fantastic job of exploring the characters in an unfamiliar setting.

I don't think you would need to play the game to enjoy this book.
Just wrap yourself in the fluffy blanket of sweetness that is this book and enjoy!
