With Dagger and Song (Curse of the Cyren Queen 2)
By Helen Scheuerer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Against all odds, Roh survived the harrowing Queen’s Tournament, but now something far deadlier awaits her: a formidable quest for the three magic birthstones of Saddoriel.
The gems have been scattered across the realms – and only when Roh retrieves them can she take her place as queen. But surrounded by hostile companions and tormented by the dangerous secret she carries, Roh begins to realise that the pursuit of power may prove more destructive than she ever imagined.
Nothing can prepare her for the nightmares that fester in the shadows of Akoris, a fanatical cyren territory, or the twisted games of its cunning leader...
Can Roh win the first birthstone without sacrificing everything she holds dear – and without losing herself?
I honestly love this woman’s work!! This is a dark world and I love it. We continue with Roh and her quest with companions that seem to hate her as she’s going to claim the first gem. The characters are just so well written and so in depth you get involved in each one. There are few reveals and an enemy you don’t really see coming at the end. It’s so hard to hold back as I don’t want to spoil anything but also want to rave about it 😆

He physically lost over 60 pounds and is almost unrecognizable playing Trevor Reznik, a factory worker who never sleeps who thinks he may be going insane. The characters he interacts with are all interesting but don't seem to help him on his quest for sanity.
Bale is just superb playing this loser, scumbag character. You are not sure whether to root for him, pity him or loathe him.
I love films like this that may not be completely linear and make you think while enjoying some fine acting.

One of the better Wayne westerns I have watched recently. Good action scenes, great acting and an interesting coherent story make this very memorable.
Great to see Wayne alongside Mitchum as well as a very young James Caan and Ed Asner.
Highly recommended.

About a young family, the parents are scientists, who are studying a theory into other realms and dimensions, suddenly the father goes missing.
Years later, magical beings start to appear to the children, and send them on a big, magical quest to find and save their father.
I found I got lost half way through the film.
