Slowly updating the app and adding new content like video games
Essential for film fans
Well for a big film fan this is essential really. Whether it's film reviews, building a watch list, doing your own ratings or lists, as well as researching films and actors this is the main app for you. Glad they are adding more TV programmes and started to add video games as well. The more like this list is great as well.
The only minor downside is the pop up ads and not being able to edit your own custom lists on the app, you need the desktop site for that? Otherwise it's perfect.

Modern Retro TV
I loved this retelling of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire coughing scandal, the acting was superb, Sheen did a fantastic job as Tarrant. The story is well told without ultimately giving you an answer. It has an amazing retro feel and I thought I remember this so clearly but when you look back so much if forgotten. Well done ITV for also being able to have a bit of a laugh at themselves!

Modern approach
Average Slasher
Available on Amazon Prime at present. Starts fairly well as some partying on campus gets a bit out of hand. After this though the films trundles along in first gear and takes quite a well to get to the first kill.
Tries to be more modern with the use of text messages and phone displays being shown on screen. Overall though it barely gets going before it's all over. One more for Slasher fans.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Openly Straight (Openly Straight, #1) in Books

[Openly Straight] gets a new perspective on being a gay teenager. Rafe does not have the stress of coming out because in Boulder, CO he is out. In fact he is the face of being out and popular. He is just tired of being paraded around as the "gay" kid who is doing well.
When he transfers to an all boys boarding school in the east he decided to go back in the closet and just be Rafe, the boy. Unfortunately it is hard to shove things back in when they already are out.
I really think this book is a great read for anyone but especially those young people who are questioning. The characters are genuine and even Rafe wanting to be normal is, well, normal. Labels are over rated and over used in our world and I think that is one of the points Konigsberg is trying to make. The other big point is just be yourself.

Still not scary
Competes well with the original
I was a fan of the original despite the horror themes being laughable. It's a classic, you know? I had high hopes for this updated version. My biggest expection was that the producers make it actually scary, mainly making Pennywise scarier. I waited to see this because I was skeptical about this being achieved. Because I did wait till it was out on DVD/Blueray, I was influenced by the media's opinion of it. Needless to say, Kate McKinnon as Pennywise was hilarious. My hopes for this movie being scarier than it's original version were squashed, but I was now more motivated to see it. No, it isn't much scarier than the original, but it was really well done aside from some obviously CGIed moments. Superior cinematography did achieve a creepier movie. The acting was great. Overall, this was done much better than the original, actually.
