Book Review: The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart

Book: The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart
Author: Stephanie Burgis
For a Middle-Grade book, this was well written and the characters well developed, not a flat character in this book. From what I can recall from my own childhood, most characters were flat in the books I read. Anyhow, this would be a book I would recommend to any child 10yrs up or even 36 in this readers case. It is a heartwarming tale of a Dragon Girl named Aventurine and the misadventure that ended up in her finding herself in Chocolate. (No Spoilers)

This is a must-read for a child trying to find their sense of self.

Rating: READ IT!

DVD Movie Review: Annihilation

Movie: Annihilation Genre: Sci-Fi, Thriller Synopsis: After an object falls from space and crashes into the earth, strange things are going on. The Shimmer appears and starts to grow, the government went in to investigate. Though teams have gone in, none have returned. Three years later one man made it out, now his wife has to put the pieces together and solve just what is going on in that area. This movie is just stunning visually, with the mixture of CGI and how it worked to alter nature its self. I loved how they made the creatures there a mix of plant and other animals, both beautiful and horrid at the same time. Like a marriage of styles of del Torro and Burton, odd yes, but beautiful. The feeling of suspense never lets you go, from the very first part to the very end. RATING: GO WATCH THIS NOW!

Happy Halloween

There is one movie that I watch every hallows eve, one film that brings this night to a close. The one and only Rocky Horror Picture Show. Ever so much a campy musical with a plot that makes the Killer Tomatoes feel less cheesy, but lord knows, God does he knows how much I love it. This past Halloween I could not find the classic this year but happened upon a happy remastering of this beloved cult classic. I am talking about the 2016 TV remake of The Rocky Horror Picture show, and to my absolute surprise, joy and pleasure. It was really good, the music, the dancing and who could forget Ms. Cox rendition of Dr. Frankfurter (Yes I know that is a sausage). It Thrilled me and chilled me, and shivered in an......tic....i....pation for every scene. Though who did it best, was it Cury or Cox? I have said it before nothing beats Tim Curry in Drag save for Ms. Cox. Of course, there are hidden homages to the classic. If you find them, you will be rewarded, but only if you watched the...
