Very good for an 80s action movie
This is one of those movies you love because of how bad it is. Well, that and the sheer amount of fun you have watching a thick-accented commando going up against horrifically ugly aliens.

I remember nothing about this movie other than enjoying the heck out of it and simultaneously having the desire to never watch it again.


Honestly, it's pure cheesy magic, isn't it?

I wish I could have loved this film more. I am a massive Harry Potter fan. I love the creatures and magic in this film but I felt there was no real story except for creature escapes, causes some havoc, creature is recaptured, repeat with different creature. And it really annoyed me how Newt Scamander doesn't look anyone in the eye, just looks out from under his fringe...really triggered me! Hehe

A fun quick read. Sarcastic and a bit witty not afraid to make fun of itself. Set in Chicago and while it is "present day" i.e. 2000s up electronics and magic don't always get along, Harry at times lives like he's in the 1950s and older.
I found it refreshing that a character could have old fashion values but still for the most part, let a person do the things they need to.

The story we all heard in the womb
This is one of those books that you know the beginning, middle and end without even reading the book. I'm pretty sure I have never watched any of the film versions either but I already knew the storyline. It's a classic but because I already knew the plot, it removed some of the magic for me. However, this is a huge compliment to Dickens.

A novel with so much depth.
This is an intelligent book which is well crafted and written with such beautiful language. I loved the intensity between the cousins and the complicated relationship between the dead and the alive. The author knows how to bring characters to life and she does it so well. I can't wait to read her next novel. Buy this one. Seriously, it's magic.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this manga. It's like a love letter fused with history, myth, and magic, for libraries and the power that the books can hold and give to their readers. It's an interesting premise for a manga series. Once I got further into the book, I expected to feel bored, but it was written in a way that I didn't feel that. Plus, most of the art was beautiful.
