Reading this during the 2020 CoVid-19 Pandemic gave me a different crisis to think about. The characters were teenagers which means they made some dumb choices but it stuck to that the whole way through. Were they changed in the end yes, but only in the ways you'd expect teenagers to be they didn't suddenly become super wise and I liked that. The story kept me engaged and the suspense hit at the right points. The ending did seem to come a little fast I feel like a few more pages could have wrapped things up a little better but it doesn't take away from the story still a decent ending.

Great Cast
The Best One: Rabbit's Foot
Mission: Impossible III- to me is the best one, in the franchise. It has the best action, the best suspense, the best stunts, the best villian, the best director and the best plot.

The plot: Retired from active duty, and training recruits for the Impossible Mission Force, agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) faces the toughest foe of his career: Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), an international broker of arms and information, who is as cunning as he is ruthless. Davian emerges to threaten Hunt and all that he holds dear -- including the woman Hunt loves.

Like i said before this one to me, is the best one.

Twisted Fairy Tale
Gretel & Hansel - is a decent movie, it has good scaries, good suspense, good thrills, good psychological espects and thats pretty much it. I mean the story is decent, but it could of been better.

The plot: When their mother descends into madness, siblings Gretel and Hansel must fend for themselves in the dark and unforgiving woods. Hungry and scared, they fortuitously stumble upon a bounty of food left outside an isolated home. Invited inside by the seemingly friendly owner, the children soon suspect that her generous but mysterious behaviour is part of a sinister plan to do them harm.

Sophia Liillis was good, the source matteral was decent. I just wish this movie was better.
