Book Rating

GUYS. GUYS. GUYSSS. Fair warning.

This book. Is dark. Like really dark. It is not disturbing. It is just plain and downright darker than the pits of Hell and it can only get darker by the time the third book comes out.

Strangely, though, I really liked the sequel to The Young Elites – much better than the first one, though now I’m wondering if I would have liked it a lot more if I read the book rather than listening to the audio version. (I’ve always had a fondness for Adelina because helloooo. She is a villain. Villains are up my alley. The librarian spoke the truth.)

“What boys do ballet?” One of my favourite memories of being in a cinema. It was The Filmhouse, Edinburgh, and we had heard this was getting good reviews, but were less than keen. From the first needle drop on T-Rex, through London Calling and The Jam, as Billy explores his passion for dance and expression in the face of Northern English prejudice and fear, I was in rapture! Julie Walters is the cornerstone performance-wise, but the immediate screen presence of Jamie Bell as Billy is undeniable. It reminds me so much of my own story that it will never fail to remain special. The feel good takes a while, and comes with lots of painful moments. But… when dad and brother witness that final moment… goosebumps on goosebumps!

Sadly reviews from me will be on hold until my cinemas open again 😔

I promise I will try and review any new films I manage to see at home in the mean time however.

Please all I ask is to stay/bare with me and all the other instagram reviewers out there like @hawkeyefilms @the_halo_halo_guy @fergmaster as this is going to be a tuff time for us, the movie business, our pages and most of all our passion of seeing films on the big screen.

So please sit tight, stay safe and stay a follower until all this chaos comes to an end.

YOU ARE ALL APPRECIATED, VALUED AND KEEP US EXCITED TO PRODUCE NEW CONTENT. LOVE YOU ALL.

Plot, casting, comedy No Angel. (0 more)

Not dark enough (0 more)

A movie you can really sink your teeth into

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a horror/comedy about a high school cheerleader who learns that it is her destiny to hunt vampires.
juggling being a student/cheerleader & Training to hunt & kill the undead proves to be a little more stressfull as the final hour draws closer.
A fun light hearted yet dark themed Classic.

The movie was a moderate success at the box office but garnered mixed reviews by critics.

taken in a different direction than writer Joss Whedon intended, five years later, he created the darker, more successful TV series of the same name.

directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui
starring Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, Rutger Hauer, Luke Perry, and Hilary Swank.
