I saw IT at a midnight release in a theatre with a person who caused me personal distress and when I say I freaked out, I mean it. But the second viewing, in the day and not with a creep, proved to be a little less scary.

For those who have never read this book, this was a frightening view of how children view fear and how hysteria can grip a town. Unexplainable things happen and no one seems to notice, almost at all. The scene with the blood in the bathroom really freaks me out every time, and her father standing in it not noticing is awful. That being said, this far the movie and the book have a lot of differences.

All in all, I feel that the movie was done well, but it doesn't hold a candle to the book. I can't wait to see the next paet though because I might change my mind!

A big movie with big sound.

Pompeii stars Kit Harington (Milo), Emily
Browning (Cassia), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Atticus), and Keifer Sutherland
(Corvus).

The soundtrack added a lot to the feeling of “rallying for the
good guys.”

The casting was well thought out & characters well
played, especially Cassia & Milo.

Sutherland made it easy to hate his
character Corvus, while Harington and Akinnuoye-Agbaje create a bond and
brotherhood that made me hold my breath in hopes that they survived their
trials.

The special effects were awesome and there was at least one time
that I even ducked in my chair from the falling debris!

While the premise
of this movie is well known, the plot gave it a smooth, easy to watch story that
kept me engaged the whole time.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been in a
movie theatre that had cheering at the end….even with such an unexpected ending,
but this one had people clapping all around me.

Thumbs up for this
one!
