King at his finest
Epic, multi character novels are what Stephen King does best and It is a fantastic example. The characters are all well written, well developed, flawed but all loveable in their own ways. The plot itself is a mix between a coming of age and a horror story, and keeps you reading throughout this 900 page + novel. The finale does get a bit too bonkers in parts and there are a few aspects of the story that are a little unnecessary, but it's a sign of a great book when you get to the end and feel so sad that it's over.

A delightful concept
This wonderful Pixar animation was hailed for its exploration into the human mind in the eyes of how a child may imagine it. Characters that represent human emotion work together to make up the decision-making faculties of a person.
In this case, a young girl named Riley is facing an emotional upheaval over her parent's arguments and separation. The concept is ingenious, and important for children in the same position, explaining it in a way that is engaging.
At times the adventure side of the happy and sad characters are little over the top, but it's a beautiful film for trying to explore a tough subject.

Awesome sequel
I love wreck it Ralph and I was pleasantly surprised with the sequel. It was great for all ages and so funny. The underlying theme for me was how it's ok to want different things that your friends and family don't want, it's ok to make new friends and to not get jealous or scared if they are going in a different direction. It's a really great message for the younger generation.
It has some sad and meaningful content especially with this digital age ant the emphasis not to get to upset over comments on social media ect.
Great film

fantastic
Instant Family is an instant hit. This movie is so funny and has such a good story. Great cast. This is an hilarious movie with elements of depressing, sad, and funny parts, i could be laughing one minute and crying the next, loved how they took 3 kids in and even through the troubles and hard time stuck together. The youngest child is so funny and reminds how most kids her age can act if dont get their own way, will be watching this movie again at some point. highly recommend for people to watch, its got to be the best comedy so far that i have watched.

You will cry
"If you don't cry, then you are a psychopath" is what my girlfriend said to me before starting the film.
I don't think Emilia Clarke actually acted in this film, I think we see how funny and quirky she is in real life.
As with most British films we have plenty of humour, some drama and some sad bits and this film delivered on them all.
It is a great film, very well acted and shot in some stunning places.
I am not ashamed to say that I did cry at the end and challenge anyone to say they didn't after watching it.

I really dig this alt-history Dark Talents series. Kim is a great character, and I can definitely relate to her. This book began pulling in more characters, which I liked. This book was a good mix of espionage and the sci-fi aspect of these 'talents'. I loved the incorporation of a Talents encyclopaedia about what they know thus far, and how it was sporadically inserted in between chapters. While the plot didn't exactly surprise me in any way, I completely enjoyed reading it.
I'm sad that this will only be a trilogy, and I'm anxiously awaiting the release of the last book in April.

Well I loved this film. I’m aware it was really long, but it seemed to pass very quickly. I was happy with the way it went with various characters (I don’t want to give it away!) and I loved how all of the marvel superheroes were tied in to the story. I can see they’re likely to be ‘bigging up’ the female characters in future films, and that’s no bad thing at all.
I’m just sad that it seems to have come to an end for some characters, but I suppose they can’t play those roles forever.
I AM looking forward to a new Guardians of the Galaxy though!

Names can be confusing
Tipperton and Beau finally get some answers as the War of the Ban continues. This book does reference some of the previous books however you do not have to read those books first (unless it's part one of the Hel's Crucible duology). This duology is a great intro into the world of Mithgar. At times a little sad and graphic the descriptions are topnotch. The Elven names can be confusing at times Vandor and Vandar are two different Elves, usually Vandar is referenced as Silverleaf or Vandar Silverleaf which helps cut down on the confusion.

YA fiction for any age
Contains spoilers, click to show
I hated this book, and loved it. It’s cruel, and frustrating, unfair, and yet it’s also sad, and hopeful, and honest and authentic. I’m not sure how everyone else feels about their High School experience, but I despised mine. You couldn’t pay me to go back. However, this story was so vivid, that I felt as though I could smell the grease from the cafeteria, feel the rough tile on the bathroom floor and the chill of that cold fateful night. This is the story of a mean girl done good.
