IT:Chapter 2 - Teaser Trailer Reaction

IT:Chapter 2 - Teaser Trailer Reaction #ITChapter2 #ITMovie

  This is one Movie that fell off my radar for a while, to be fair for about 2 months I only had one film on my radar.  However, in my Post-Endgame world I find myself actually able to be excited of films that don’t involve Shield wielding Superheroes.    This is one of those films.

“EVERYTHING FLOATS DOWN HERE!”

I hugely enjoyed…

Spiderman: Far From Home - Trailer Reaction

The first Post-Endgame MCU Movie Spiderman: Far From Home - Trailer Reaction

  Disney have either perfected some kind of funky mind control, or someone managed to make a Spiderman movie that i am actually excited to see.  And let’s face it, with my history of Spiderman movies, either one of these options is equally likely.

After the spoiler ban officially lifted on Endgame on Monday we were treated to the…

Language: French

Genre: Thriller/Crime

Runtime: 1hr 57mins

Rating: 3/5

  So before I go on with this review I feel like I need to admit that while this film is originally released in French, I did watch a badly dubbed English version.  And the dubbing was BAD.  So I will try to not let this effect what my overall thought were of…

Carrie by Stephen King

My review for a real Horror Classic - Carrie by Stephen King

Carrie by Stephen King

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had very little in the way of expectations when i picked up this book because, lets face it, everyone knows the story of Carrie and everyone knows how it ends. So there was very little in this book that was going to shock or surprise me. Or so I thought any way. And for the most part that was exactly the reading experience that I had.

It was…

Happy Hour at Casa Dracula by Marta Acosta

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Oh Dear.

Sometimes when reading, you come across a book that just defies words. Whether thats for the good or the bad, and this is one of those books. I had SO MANY issues with this book that I don’t really know where i want to begin.

Let’s begin with the most offensive aspect. Which for me was the writing and the dialogue. Good…

” I wondered if it wasn’t you shooting bolts at me.” I make a face at him. “And what made you decide I wasn’t?” He Grins at me, “They missed.”

THIS IS A SEQUEL, SO BEWARE, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!

If you would have told me this time a week ago I would be swooning over the Jude/Carden Romance, I would have laughed you right out in front of a…

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am so glad that I gave this book a second chance. I read it when it originally came out last year, and although I thought it was OK, it didn’t grab my attention the way that I wanted it too. So I rated it 2 stars put it on my shelf and never really thought of it again. Then the hype began for book 2 ‘The Wicked King’. And man was the hype…

Heatwave and Crazy Birds by Gabriela Avigur-Rotem

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This Book was beautifully written. The prose was lyrical and whimsical and if the book hadn’t been 400 pages long, I probably would have loved it. But it was a really hard slog to get through a book that relies purely on shatteringly beautiful writing, when there is little else going for it.

I have read a few book written…

Review: Mr Loverman by Bernardine Evaristo

Mr Loverman by Bernardine Evaristo

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was not my usual kind of read. At all. It was a lot slower paced and a lot more character driven than books I usually enjoy. But this one was actually a real treat for me.

Mr Loverman tells the Story of Barry a Gay man in his seventies who has been passing as straight for his entire life. He is living in a struggling marriage to a…
