Great creepy visuals (2 more)
Good young cast
Very funny
You'll float too
Shockingly I've not read the book but do remember the '90 version shown on TV. Some parts are true to the original and there is a lot of new stuff as well. There does seem to be nods to other Stephen King works as well, like Carrie and Stand by me which is a nice touch for fans.
The young cast are excellent and Pennywise genuinely creepy. I wouldn't say it's scary but does have a creepy atmosphere and surprisingly very funny!

Hozier- the Irish Troubadour
As I await for what Hozier has in store for in the future, it is a nice reminder to hear this song that showcases the divisive nature of humanity as we are in a constant battle with love, lovers and the such. He understand it and does not make a rule that everyone must follow, he knows something about it: that it is ever changing and never set in stone..

I loved this book! Fast, fun, and spirited (in more ways than one!), it was a great, interesting, and unique read with a wonderful heroine. I liked that it deals with both Celtic and American Indian ways, which is really different in the urban fantasy scene. Joanne was very realistic, the plot fascinating, and her sidekick, Gary, was a nice change of pace. While everyone won't like this, I highly recommend reading it anyway. I can't wait to get to get to the sequels, this is definitely one of my favorite new urban fantasy series!

This isn't normally a genre that I read but it was Aprils book group choice so I gave it a go (sad stories make me sad!) The friendship that formed between Lizzie and The Buckminster boy was one of faith and finding out about a different way of life. It's hard to think that there was a time when people really choose to treat other people in this way but it was nice to see that a young boy could overlook what society told him he should see.

It is on the verge of good and very good, it is quite gripping and kept me entertained, normally I do things whist watching TV or films, this I gave 100%. The storyline has twists and turns and I managed to guess the corrupt cop incorrectly. The ending was quite sudden and it would have been nice to know what happened to her but their is an opening for a second one. Made me think of Kill Bill, John Wick and Red, so if you like those film you might enjoy this.

I enjoyed this interesting thriller after discovering it on Netflix. The brilliant Naomi Rapace is in great form as the bodyguard assigned to protect the daughter of a rich man whose company is bidding to buy land that is also being bid on buy another rival firm. Lots of action and plot twists make this well worth watching as the two of them must fight against the odds to uncover who is behind the conspiracy and assassination attempts on the girl.

Loved this movie, wow enjoyed it from start to finish and it didnt seem anywhere near 3 hours, loved the comedic elements to it, loved the closure for captain America, nice way to end his story, loved the emotional feel, especially for iron man, loved it 3000, understood the sacrifice black widow made, shame she didnt get the same treatment stark got but maybe that was due to her character getting a standalone movie after this whereas ironmans story is done, as I said great movie!!

The 3rd installment of the series but a prequel with a period setting. Set in 19th century Canada it shows the origins of the curse. A nice idea and good that the same 2 actresses are used in all films. It reminded me a bit of the 4th Tremors film that also acted as a prequel. However the first film is much better with an edgy modern day setting. Ok as werewolf films go, the costumes for them are pretty cool, but overall the film was fairly average.

This is the second book in this series by this author. This is a nice romance story with added drama and mystery thrown into the mix. I really loved the characters, they have fab chemistry between them. This is a good contemporary romance read. this book will keep a hold of you and keep you reading till the end. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author again in the future.



Highly recommended read

Evil Superman
This had a good premise, what if a person from another world arrived here with superpowers... But was evil. There are quite a few nods and scenes that will remind you of Superman. Clearly the inspiration for this film. It's definitely something original to have a horror like this. It is quite gory in places, fairly creepy but not scary. You'll find it fun if you fancy a horror film with a twist. Although it still left quite a lot of ideas to be explored.
