Dean (6927 KP) rated The Lawnmower Man (1992) in Movies

Wow looking so outdated now, and Virtual reality is barely used these days. Didn't take off like it was predicted. This is based on a short story by Stephen King, surprised to see a young Pierce Brosnan in this. The graphics for the virtual reality scenes look like an arcade game from the era. It's not very original, yet some how got a sequel a few years later. For a good film about Virtual reality check out the much better eXistenZ!

The original scared the crap out of me as a kid (the spiders, the monkeys, the general chaos). This one only seemed to have the vaguest connection to the first one and mostly went for laughs above any type of serious plot points or characterization. They had almost 22 years to think of a better sequel! As a stand-alone movie it's okay but they could have done so much more with it.

Men In Black: International (2019) offers self-neuralyzing entertainment
For a franchise which has often been plagued with a sense of déjà vu (indeed its first sequel was an almost note for note remake of the first film and its second was themed around the redoing historic events), the most disappointing aspect of “Men In Black: International” is how familiar it all feels, despite the so-hot-right-now re-pairing of Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth...

Im not sure why we got a full movie about the nun from the conjuring 2, but we did and it was bad. Lets get Vera Farmiga's sister to star in it. I really didnt pay attention to the film. At one point, one of the main charcters was bured under the ground. Also the nuns weakness is holy water. Also it sets up a sequel that we dont need. This film is a lazy attempt to connect the conjuring films.

Book Review | Girl Online by Zoella
I love this book it grabbed my on the first pages. I can't for the sequel if there is going to more of penny and noah.
I love how the characters interact with each other and how there is real life situation like cyber bulling and bullying at school. I like how Penny as been suffering with panic attack and how she copes through it this will be good to help people through their lives.

hmmm ...
Having dealth with the creation of Wraith Squadron and their subsequent first mission in the previous installment of the X-Wing series, <i>Iron Fist</i> continues to tell the story of Wraith Squadron, and of the hunt for Warlord Zsinj.
This time, the members of that X-Wing fighter unit must pose as pirates in order to infiltrate the warlord's fleet. Cue more scenes of space dog-fighting, inter-pilot conflict, and the requisite loose ends for the sequel ...

I have mixed feelings on this one, I did enjoy it but I felt that the journey could have been made shorter. This book should have been around the 300 page mark, not the 500 as I felt that the additions to the journey and the details provided were mostly not needed. That being said I loved the characters and would love to follow them into the sequel, but I am dubious due to excess info that was put into the first book.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Kidulthood (2006) in Movies
Dec 8, 2019
A very good film with some young English actors. I'm not sure if this was a film made for TV but it has that feel to it. It's raw, gritty and brutal showing the life of a group of teenagers in West London. Unfortunately some scenes are quite true to what is going on with inner city teenagers today and the gang culture. Fades a little towards the end but still a good watch.......now to see the sequel Adulthood.

Fantastic sequel
If you neglected to read The Shining before reading this book, there will be parts that don't make any sense. Do yourself a favor and read The Shining first, TRUST ME! This book made me particularly weary of large convoys of RV people and put Danny's adult life into a perspective I didn't envision for him. I loved this book completely and was reading to go back and read cover to cover all over again.

The trailer is better
Found this on Netflix and the trailer made the film look interesting, so as a family we settled down to watch it. i enjoyed it but my two sons thought it was terrible. Yes it took quite a while for the story to get going and all the action happened in the last quarter of an hour. Expected a few more shocks but they didn’t happen. The big question is was the film lining up for a sequel.
