The Directing is terrible,
Unintelligible action.
The technology of the animation is purely what keeps this at a 2. Everything else is atrocious.
If you took a bad MTV music video and made a fight sequence where you didn't know who was who, this is the movie attached to it. And then they made more of this garbage. I'm just really glad michael bay made these movies instead of destroying other great Intellectual properties.

If you are looking for a lighthearted teen drama then the Greenhouse Academy is for you.

Each episode is only 25 minutes long making it incredibly easy to binge watch (I did two seasons in a day).

The story line can be a bit over the top in places, the special effects and acting can be terrible however I really found it just added to the charm. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can not wait for season 3 to find out who was at the door!!

Goofy is the best word to describe this movie. It wasn't terrible, but I found it a little too comical to be taken seriously. I'm not sure what the intention was with the film, Jason Statham seemed to have fun with his goofy role. The film was completely predictable, and there wasn't one thing that was original or new.
The ending was especially comical for me, Statham VS Meg, in the water was so out of the realm of realism. But, it was amusing.

Solid fun little movie.
Enjoyable little movie. The game show scene is great but could’ve been better executed. The karaoke scene was terrible and hokey. Which might be the point but I still didn’t like it. Kelsey framer was very good and likable. Kirsten bell was also very good. I feel like the movie missed some moments that could’ve been better written and the writers could unwrapped some parts better. But overall we liked watching this story unfold.

Good not great
The format keeps this book from being great. First person present tense, again, is terrible. But in this book it is compounded by the fact that we read from 3 people's POV. "I" means three people, depending on the chapter. That was immersion breaking and holds the book back from greatness.

Otherwise, I loved the story, the characters, the magic. It was very good, and felt shorter than it was. It read fast, it was never dull. I'd recommend this book to anyone.

Not terrible but should have been better
I didn't like the voice in this and that it was meant to be both funny and scary but really failed in doing either. It is more enjoyable to watch then some of the zombie films that are out there but with the cast list it was really disappointing to watch (was expecting far more humour).

An ok film to watch if nothing else on but there are loads more zombie films that are better to watch.

Great concept Terrible execution
It Stephen King... What’s not to Love???

Answer: This Movie.

The trailer had me hooked, this looked like a great thriller based on kings work, surely a slam dunk in most people’s book. No not this one. Truly the saving grace and the reason I stuck till the end was Patrick Wilson, who’s commitment to this truly outlandish and ridiculous character was utterly commendable so props to him.

Everything else was just Bad Bad Bad

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, a version of Peter Pan where I didn't hate Peter? Sign me up!

This adaption was an absolute joy to read. I loved Wendy and the interactions with her crew and her terrible parents. I adored the Lost Boys.

I loved the way that Hooke's villainy was framed.

And the Shadow? YES!

This book was a joy to read and I would absolutely recommend it!

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book is three stories by three different authors.

The first two weren't my thing as they featured doormat wives, terrible husband's, and intrusive neighbors.

But the third one was great. It featured a haunted house tour and a reenactment of a murder and the couple involved actually seemed to like each other!

Don't get me wrong the first two weren't badly written, just not my cup of tea!
