Entirely unnecessary
It really frustrates me when they make films like this that are so obviously motivated by the money only. Did we really need a prequel to the Purge films to know exactly how it all began? Of course we didn't as everything we needed to know was in the other Purge films anyway. How many people have really wanted a Purge prequel? And sadly this film is as unnecessary as you'd expect.

Most of it plays out in a similar way to the others, and is entirely predictable and lacking in originality. It doesn't even have any creepy costumes or decent deaths like the others, so it really is lacking entirely. It gets slightly more interesting towards the end with the Raid-like tower block scenes but even this seems to just be trying to replicate the Raid and all of the other films like it. The characters too are all immediately forgettable.

Unless you absolutely love the other Purge films, this really isn't worth a watch.

GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY is the prequel novella to the Mystic Beach series. If you're looking for a short, steamy, and intriguing story, then congratulations! Because that's what you've found.

The story focuses on Molly and Logan, two people who live in Mystic Beach but, for their own reasons, thought they'd never find someone to be with. Sometimes, giving in to doughnuts rewards you in ways you never imagined!

You also get hints and teasers about other characters, as well as the magic Mystic Beach may have. All in all, this was a quick read that has completely whetted my appetite for more! Looking forward to reading Once Upon a Dream which is due for release this summer. Until then, I definitely recommend you get your mitts on this prequel.

Not even remotely scary
The best way to describe this slightly mediocre horror film is that it is totally blah. That's right, there's nothing particularly chilling apart from the fact we already know the ending as this is the prequel to Ouija. Therefore it is a bit of an anti-climax. The biggest excitement / horror was the fact the main character in ET is in this film and he's currently around 40 years old. Talk about shocking, makes you feel old.

Mary Poppins Returns (2018) is an exercise in Lucasian poetry #Review
George Lucas once claimed that the many repetitive instances in the Star Wars prequel trilogy were deliberate ‘poetry’, rhyming with the original trilogy and so it is with this second Mary Poppins film. Having soothed its corporate conscience with “Saving Mr Banks”, Disney returns to the works of P L Travers to produce a checkbox musical which follows the template of the first movie to a fault...

Emotional but beautiful story
The prequel to Max and Chloe's adventures, this one's a heart wrenched. It gives more depth to the first game as you realise the depth of Chloe and Rachel's relationship.

My favourite soundtrack of all the games so far, the band Daughter really help tell the story. I enjoyed the journey becoming the rebel that Chloe is in the first game.

Another heart wrenching beautiful journey.
