Tales From The Hood is a horror anthology made up of four short stories as well as a into and ending sequence.
The stories are:
Welcome to My Mortuary
Rogue Cop Revelation
Boys Do Get Bruised
KKK Comeuppance
Hard-Core Convert
Welcome to My Mortuary (ending)
I grew up watching this movie and even as a kid I always enjoyed it but as the older I got I really grew to understand that it is not just a horror movie in the sense that is deals with zombies, monsters, living dolls, and ghost but that it is a horror movie in the sense that it deals with real life horrors such as police brutality, abuse, racism, and gang violence all of which still hold extreme relevant 22 years after the movie was released.

Ok
This movie was another "be quiet or die" horror film. It wasn't too bad for what I'd label a "made for tv" movie. The acting was just ok. If you can't read sign language, you might not understand some of their conversations but you get the gist. The cinematography was decent with some cool creatures(may little things!) and effects, without getting too gory. While it played out to an open ended "anti"-climax it did show that people can sometimes turn out to be worse than the liberal monsters with the "cult" they run into. Overall this movie was good enough to finish but, in my opinion, "A Quiet Place" did it a bit better. Still, it's worth a watch if you're bored and looking for a little "creature feature".

Entertaining
I've read reviews of this movie and they mostly were not good. I honestly don't know why. Perhaps people were trying to take it too seriously? Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. A fun fantasy story filled with magic, monsters, samurai and of course, sword fights. I have always enjoyed samurai movies(Seven Samurai is my absolute favorite). This one was just a lot of fun. The acting and cinematography were well done and the story flowed nicely. Plenty of intense action and it even had a love story. Didn't have the happiest of endings but not all movies do. Supposedly based on a historical group of samurai in Japan but, of course, with some great fantastical story telling weaved throughout. This one is definitely worth a watch!

From the deep
Monsters called Kiaju came out of the seas once upon a time ago, We built huge robots that were controlled by two people by using each of there brain power by syncing them together. Then they went away but guess what they have come back even stronger and in the first sequence we see Nate Lambert and his partner get recked by a big ass Kiaju by disobeying orders. Then they think that building huge walls will keep them out (hmm wonder what trump was watching when he thought of his wall) Then we see mor machines brought together by some of the best drivers of all time and go up against these whuge things.
Effects and action sequences and CHarlie Day make the movie worth watching once

One of the greatest games of all time!
I recently started replaying this again after a long break and it is seriously amazing.
The map is mammoth and full of shrines, all terrains and many cool, interesting monsters. I love the shrines. They are so much fun to figure out and battle.
The emotional story is backed up by many familiar and also quite a few new characters making the gameplay that much more fun.
I have to also admit to being an Amiiboholic (I think I have almost all of them) which makes it even more fun to collect lots of helpful power-ups and cool costumes. I never tire of exploring and finding new things to do and places to go.

If you're a fan of dark romance this is a MUST READ series!!!
Tess & Q will always hold a special place in my heart as the Monsters in the Dark series was my first dark romance. Quickly falling absolutely in love with Pepper's writing, I anticipate each one more than the next. This was a beautiful, perfect visit with old friends and the HEA Tess and Q deserved. Their story broke me and this ending was more than I could have ever expected. I hurt for them watching them struggle through this new territory in their relationship and it was beyond painful to see Q beat himself up the way that he did... HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended book, series & author. If you're a fan of dark romance this is a MUST READ series!!!

This film started well for me,the introduction of the losers club members now all grown up and having left (bar one of them) derry many years ago.Then they return and though unconvinced at the start that pennywise has returned they are eventually convinced and begin to prepare for the showdown with the evil clown.
The running time for me was to long by at least 30 minutes,certain scenes could have easily been cut and would not have been missed and some of the CGI monsters were laughable.The way pennywise is finally defeated in the end was a bit of a let down,certainly not what I was expecting.
The actors were great in their roles though,especially bill hader as richie and the stephen king cameo was very funny.

I really wanted to enjoy Shadow Frost with promises of assassins, monsters and darkness set in a fantasy world. But as much as the interactions between the characters were a delight to read and I loved every second of it, the writing style just isn’t my type. I personally didn’t feel the book was worth investing more time into, and I’m sad to say I had to DNF this at 34%.
