More and less of the same

Jumanji 2 (or 3 depending on how you look at it) continues where the previous instalment left off.

Bored of the way things are one of the teens decides to return to Jumanji....eventually followed by his friends on a rescue mission, followed by two grumpy, senile old men (Danny devito & danny glover) who's characters not only change the the pace of the movie but add a fresh batch of humour.

The movie was quite solid and was much better than I expected although felt like some plot was missing at times. But plenty of entertainment & laughs.

Too many dull spots (0 more)

I honestly went back and forth on how to properly rate this book. It was a quick read, but I almost gave up in a couple spots. The beginning was frustrating, with the MC encountering and complaining about problems she obviously put herself in. Then the twists started coming, and every time I thought I had it figured out, another twist hit, down to the literal last page. Did I absolutely love it? Not really. It was fine. Wild towards the end even. I'd probably give the beginning 2/5 stars, the middle 3/5, and the ending 4/5. And that's all I feel I can say without spoilers. 🤣

The ultimate choice

A killer is loose, a killer that makes friends, loved ones, colleagues choose between life or death. The only way out is to make the decision else you both die.

DI Helen Grace is a brilliant character, dark and delicious with lots of intricate problems. I like the jump between different timelines and how they come together at the end.

The reader is kept in the dark till quite near the end and then the pace, which us already fast, ramps up another notch. I really couldnt put it down.

I may need to read some more DI Helen Grace books.

Fear is a Place

Session 9- is a scary movie. Setting with inside an abandoned insane asylum. Its creepy, the atmosphere of the abandoned insane asylum is creepy, chilling, scary and horrorfying.

The Plot: A tale of terror when a group of asbestos removal workers start work in an abandoned insane asylum. The complex of buildings looms up out of the woods like a dormant beast. Grand, imposing ... abandoned, deteriorating. The residents of Danvers, Massachusetts steer well clear of the place. But Danvers State Mental Hospital, closed down for 15 years, is about to receive five new visitors...

Its creepy, horrorfyng and scay. Also the twist at the ending is good as well.

Sweet Little Innocent Girl

Orphan- is a really good psychological horror film about a orphan who seems sweet and innocent at first but it turns out shes not. Plus the twist is excellent. The cast is really good expectally Isabelle Fuhrman she was fantasic and excellent.

The Plot: Devastated by the loss of their unborn baby, Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John (Peter Sarsgaard) decide to adopt a child. At the orphanage, both feel drawn to a little girl (Isabelle Fuhrman) named Esther, and soon the couple take their new daughter home. But when a dangerous series of events unfolds, Kate begins to suspect that there is something evil lurking behind the child's angelic exterior.

Its a excellent movie.
