Gus Galaxy (2 KP) rated Ghostbusters (2016) in Movies

Cast was incredible! McCarthy and Hemsworth were perfect choices, would have loved more of Bill Murray's character though! (2 more)
Great story flow and sequences. I would have liked more from Rowan, but the Kevin twist was superb!
Characters blended perfectly together. EXCELLENT CHEMISTRY from top billing to minor characters.
The movie should have acknowledged that this is an alternate dimension, which it is. People are more intrigued with it being an alternate dimension that a reboot, because the sequel comics are even more awesome! (1 more)
I need more depth from Rowan, guy was a genius who was left looking like a bumbling fool, and a whole lot more Martin Heiss, especially after the fall! Imagine a wacky neck brace sporting Dr. Heiss freaking out about being proven wrong and going crazy!
Third Chapter IS Alternate Dimension!

Slightly predictable with a large Ego
Okay so I guessed the big twist, it was a longtime coming, and usually I can appricate a book even when I think I know what’s coming, they always plant little leads for active readers. But I guessed it way too early and I was a little more complicated than what I was thinking and I definitely want to read the next book to find out more, but it felt like I was forceably dragging myself to the end of this novel. I read it in two days, 470 pages, that takes dedication.
I’m in a huge dystopian kick right now and this is the most cut and dry post-apocalyptic one that I’ve seen so far, so kudos. I know I’m rambling, it’s early.

I'm surprised this hasn't been done before
Okay so for starters this film isn't a scary horror film. It's not trying to be serious in the slightest and there are actually some bits in this that are quite silly and funny. The story is a good idea, however I'm surprised this hasn't been done before? This surely can't be the first time that they've come up with a horror version of Groundhog Day.
The twist wasn't entirely unpredictable and some of the acting in parts was awful - I'm assuming as it isn't taking itself too seriously that this bad acting is done purposely, but its still a bit worrying! Ultimately this is a entertaining film that isn't great, but its good enough to sit through and not want to switch off.

A twist on the popular domestic noir novels that have dominated the bestseller list. This psychological thriller revolves around Jane, recovering after a traumatic loss, she moves into an architectural showhome, an austere house with strict rules.

This narrative uses the two women’s perspectives to draw you into the plot. The film is being directed by Ron Howard so there’s time to read the book before you see the movie. One for your travels.

Samantha Reece (16 KP) rated Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) in Movies
Nov 20, 2018 (Updated Nov 20, 2018)
Let me start out by saying, if you have never seen the first Fantastic Beasts movie or have little knowledge of the Wizarding World, you will probably not understand this movie.
Personally, I loved it! Yes, there is the whole McGonagall not being born yet situation, but I can look past that to all the depth put into the movie. It provided the audience with an overload of information to prepare the viewer for future movies. Newt has become my favorite character! Also, the baby Nifflers are adorable. Let’s not forget to mention that huge twist in the end! I’m still slightly confused over THAT, but there are lots of theories and ideas going through my brain. So, if you are a Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts fan, go watch it!

Some damn fine use of a concrete saw
So let me get this straight...
Contains spoilers, click to show
So. Right odf the hop. I must say I appreciate a French movie that splices in some English from it's actors. Good on ya.
This movie kicks off about 15 or so minutes in.... With some desecration of a severed head... And an immediate beheading....
From there on out its brutality and fine special effects that take over. A beautifully placed twist near the end provides an unexpected, at least to me, WHAT THE FUCK moment.
All in all this is a must watch for all foreign horror fans... Its right up there woth fellow French films Martyrs and Inside.... As well as Korea's I Saw The Devil.

Merissa (13056 KP) rated Lord of the Vampires (Royal House of Shadows, #1) in Books
Dec 17, 2018
This book is the first of a set of four, written by four different authors. It started with a single idea - rewrite fairytales with a mystical twist. Collectively, it's called the Royal House of Shadows.
I've enjoyed Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series and wanted to see how she would write under a "Mills & Boon" title!!!
I enjoyed this book and read it in one evening. It is a fast-paced book, not 'heavy' at all, although there are some twists and turns to the story as it involves memories being taken and you have to stay up to date with who did what to whom.
On the whole, a pleasant read. It didn't blow my socks off or make me blush but wasn't a waste of time either.

Jul 20, 2019 (Updated Jul 20, 2019)
Surreal Horror
This intrigued me after seeing mixed reviews and I guessed that it was going to be something very different to the norm. The problem with films like this is they can be misleading. It starts like a drama, then takes what you think might be in a romantic film direction and then flips it on its head to become something entirely different. I didn't mind that as I had an idea this would have a weird twist. It ends up having several. Not a bad story and the lead characters are good actresses. Maybe the story becomes a bit too surreal by the end that it loses some credibility. If you don't take it seriously you should enjoy it more.
Nichole Knight (6 KP) rated Animal Circus in Books
Jan 25, 2020
Definitely Not a Children's Story and It's Worth the Read
The first thing I thought of when reading this was George Orwell's Animal Farm ... However Batchelor's story can not be compared to that. It's own uniquely written work on circus animals who wish to find peace and freedom.
Even though the cover is bright, quirky, and inviting this book is not for children.
For a short story, it's very depressing from start to finish. I honestly wish there was more to the middle. And, the end left me wanting to know more, though it was a twist that I was not expecting!
For a short to the point story it's worth the time in reading.
((I won an ebook copy in a giveaway on Goodreads.com and this is my honest opinion.))

Good Work Detective

I love this franchise.
