Title: The Scorch Trials Author: James Dashner Series: The Maze Runner (book 2) Publisher: Chicken House Ltd Release Date: 5 Jun. 2014 ISBN: 9781909489417 Synopsis Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of a life they were going back to... Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial. He must cross the Scorch to once again save himself and his friends. My Review I enjoyed Maze Runner overall but had a few reservations, but I was intrigued to find out more so started to read Scorch Trials. The Gladers are out of the maze, but it's not the comforting end they hoped for, instead the experiments continue, but on a much larger and more dangerous scale. Thomas and his friends must once more band together to try and overcome all the trials an...
Welcome back to the 31 Days of Halloween!!! It's been a bit since I updated what we've been watching, but here I am. Also, I am thinking I might attempt a video review for some of the next set of movies/TV shows/ and the concert we went to.
Ok, so here goes at least one chunk of Halloween reviewing.
Quantum Leap Season 3 Halloween episode. Aka "the Stephen King episode." Not scary, just fun. I love Quantum Leap, and I remember watching this episode with my dad and him laughing about it.
Cabin in the Woods (2011) - This movie was way better than I expected it to be. Yes, it is a slasher movie, but it is also done by Joss Whedon (he of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly fame). His normal sense of humor is in the movie, and there is a TON of gore. We really enjoyed this film.
The Descent - This is a movie that I have been scared to watch for a few years. I am terribly claustrophobic underground or underwater, so I figured this movie would scare me to death. Honestly, it was not anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. It was gruesome, but not over the top. The character interaction was pretty interesting. Again, an enjoyable horror movie.
Zodiac - Now this is more of a drama than a horror movie. But, it's a good movie, and it is about a serial killer, so it qualifies for this month. I've seen this before, but it was worth a second viewing. The Zodiac case is creepy, and the cinematography on this movie is awesome.
The Ward - This movie was advertised by Netflix as a John Carpenter movie. Supposedly he directed it. I think he wrote some music for it (at least that sounded like his kind of music), but other than that it didn't really feel like a Carpenter movie. This is about a girl named Kristen who ends up in a psych ward with other young women and these women are slowly being killed off by the ghost of a former patient. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best movie ever.
Along with these we've been watching Supernatural. We are onto season 4 which includes the introduction of Castiel the socially awkward angel!
That's it for now. I still have a lot of catching up to do with what we've watched. This has been a fun year so far though. I am trying some new movies that I wasn't brave enough to watch before, and I am really in the Halloween spirit!
