Drawn out sword drama
Missed this at the cinema last year, it didn't get a long run. Now on Disney+ the cast is really good and the trailer looked promising. You get the story as told from 3 different perspectives of the main characters, this does lead to a lot of repetition of some scenes. The battle scenes are good if very short, not on the scale of other films like Gladiator. Adam Driver really stands out above the others in this. A decent film but just a fair bit longer than it needed to be.

I haven't read anything by Ronald Malfi before and I do enjoy a good horror story every now and again and I'm pleased I did because out of the 5 short stories, there was only 1 I didn't particularly enjoy and that was The Separation but the other 4 more than made up for it.

Well written, great characters, a plethora of general creepiness, blood and gore ... what more could you want?

Mr Malfi is definitely an author I will look out for in the future and thank you to NetGalley and Titan Books for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of They Lurk.

Dr Blessing’s Curse or The Baby in the Bell-Jar ( Dr Blessing book 1)
By Jack Rollins
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From a monster, a miracle?
After a dinner party, Doctor George Blessing reveals to his friend a secret that he has carried for three years. His most horrific case to date has left him so tormented that his marriage, his practice and his very sanity are at stake. But will his friend understand? Can he even help? Can anyone break the Doctor's curse?

Brilliant first instalment of a short story! Was totally dragged in and loved it. Very dark and definitely something I love.

I waited 14+ years for Kingdom Hearts 3 and for the most part it delivered. Overall the game is incredible, high octane action, intense story elements, and a fluid control system. The game picks up after Dream Drop Distance. Sora has lost a bit of power and is on a trek with Donald and Goofy to power up again. The game is stunning and beautiful running on the Unreal engine for the first time. Combat is way easier as now block and dodge are already activated. It is crazy fun summoning attractions like Splash Canyon and the Tea Cups. The huge worlds are fun to traverse and look for items, hidden emblems, and recipe ingredients. However, there are some downfalls, for starters the game is a way to short. Though the worlds were large there are fewer of them. The attraction combos happen way too often and kill combos. There is no Arena and no Sephiroth fight. Overall a good game.

The conclusion for many characters
Not the ending we hoped for
It's been a long time coming and expectations were very high for this final series to one of the best TV shows ever made. It really shows that this series goes past where the books ended I believe. It's only 6 episodes long despite some being over an hour long. Yet it feels rushed and short of content. When you have had 7 series to build up so many story and characters arcs, it feels rushed bringing it all to an end so quickly. Some storylines just don't pan out as expected. Some of them just don't seem to fit at all, others were far too short. Despite all of this it still has some amazing scenes and action, great SFX and still manages to surprise you with what happens as it always has done. Such a shame it has come to an end. So it's not the ending many hoped for but it has been an epic ride along the way.

The Extraordinary Cases of Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle | 1988
8
8.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Rating
I may be good, but Sherlock Holmes is better. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle weaves unusual and fantastical tales about the globally beloved detective in this collection of stories. Each is short and can be devoured in less than an hour. They are some of his more famous short works and highly enjoyable.

Doyle paints a narrative through the eyes of Holmes' companion, Dr. Watson and makes the tale more accessible to the average reader. Holmes' sharp mannerisms and lofty thoughts would not be as intriguing if Watson's nobler sentiments and smoothing words did not soften him. Each mystery slowly unfolds before the reader's eyes and if their powers of deduction are keen, they may even discover some clues or Holmes' motives before they're expressly detailed.

The adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson were beloved in their time and are now classics for a reason. This is a wonderful collection of stories and highly recommended to fans of detective stories, classic novels, or have never read a story about Sherlock Holmes before and wish to give them a shot. (You won't be disappointed.)
