Dec 31, 2019

Eric is getting comfy in New York whie Kory and Beth are Underhill trying to find a way to conceive a chid that won't kill a bunch of people.
An evil elf wants revenge for the death of his loved one and wants to cause the destruction of the world.
I really enjoyed this book because it ties up some of the threads that were left hanging in the last one (Mainly, what happened with Threshold and Jeanette). This series go by fairly quickly and I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would

Kayleigh (4 KP) rated Alice (The Chronicles of Alice, #1) in Books

Delightfully Dark

This is an wonderfully adult take on a classic children's tale. All the characters you loved as a child are there however you may not love them so much in this version. Henry sets a fast paced tale that follows Alice from the depths of an asylum through a blood soaked path of discovery and revenge. Whilst the fast pace can leave you a little bit wanting in terms of build up and suspense this is a great and entertaining read. If you have a couple of hours spare I would highly recommend filling with this book.

I absolutely love this film! It's the 70s and Om is an extra in movies. He is besotted by a big star actress Shanti. He discovers some secrets and watches as he secret husband plots and executes his plan to be rid of his career ending problem. Years later Om finds himself seeking revenge for Shanti. The music in this film is catchy and really makes it. If you have never watched a Bollywood before, this is one I definitely recommend to start with. I love the bright colours and as always love the twists and turns to ensure a happy ending.

A good follow up to the first film Kidulthood, set 6 years later with Sam being released from prison. It's not quite as dramatic as the first, but still a good film. Nice to see the majority of the same cast, made 3 years after the first, now looking a bit older. This film centers around Sam mainly. Some might find the slang a bit too quick, hard to understand......but a lot of young boys do sound like that in London! A good film dealing with revenge and growing up and showing that violence wont get you anywhere.

I remember watching this on VHS thrity years ago and rather liking it still do now I know it's basically a Carrie clone the setting a prom possed teenage girl taken by the spirt of a dead prom queen who wants revenge on her boyfriend who killed her accidentally killed her 30 years earlier during prom night. Wendy Lyon is the standout star of the movie showing two sides to her character sweet and innocent and then all bad girl. Anyway I know it's outdated and the effects not great but the film is still I will always watch again

Pretty standard, but reasonably enjoyable

Standard issue murder and revenge story, which sees Jackie Chan play a dad who sees his daughter blown up in a terrorist attack in London before going after government officials and shady henchmen to try and find the truth.

I was puzzled how a Chinese, London businessman would have been able to pull off all the things that happen in the movie, but that is explained to some extent.

It was nothing ground breaking but worth watching to pass a couple of hours if you just want a bit of action and nothing much else...
