Dean (6925 KP) rated The Midnight Meat Train (2008) in Movies

A pretty decent horror film based on the short story by Clive Barker, which is a bit Stephen King like. It's very bloody and gruesome but the cgi effects make it less shocking. Overall a very simple idea for a film well executed but the cgi effects are over done and the story is a bit too straight forward most of the time.
The novel is a prequel that sets up the Peter Pan story we all know and love. As a Peter Pan fan, I enjoyed it, although the short chapters and multiple view points made it too choppy near the end.

Four short stories set in a small, college town in Massachusetts that focus on the characters who live there. I really enjoyed meeting them and look forward to getting to know them better in the novels she is also setting there. NOTE: I was sent this book in exchange for my honest review.

Hmm not heard of the character before? This just seemed like a comic book western for me with a quirky supernatural element. It has a good cast and while not being a bad film, it does feel like there is something missing? It could have been a lot better. It's very short and simple and has some ok action scenes, that's about it.

I hate the way a lot of authors divide their book into a short page series, I can only think that it is to get as much money out of the reader as possible for a book that isn't really that good and sadly thats what I think about this. It started off really good but slowly went downhill as the series progressed

Ross (3284 KP) rated Parks and Recreation - Season 1 in TV

This is a decent but short (6 episodes) first series of what is a highly acclaimed sit-com. I like the style (mockumentary) and the small cast of characters. The best moments are when the cast just go on a random rant/list weird things, which feels ad-libbed and hilarious. With the characters introduced I hope the comedy ramps up from here.

Great beginning hook (2 more)
Keeps a good pace
Not typical vampire story
The start of a great series!!!
This is BY FAR one of my favorite book series. The authors set it up really well and give backstory and pertinent information without getting lost in flashbacks or dragging on forever. Plus I like the references to native American culture and mythology!
This is the place to start if you've never read any of Asimov's books. I, Robot is a collection of short stories that will introduce you to the Asimov universe. It will start you on a wonderful journey over thousands of years as you venture through the robot novels to the galactic empire novels and finally to the foundation series.
