Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3BELH52IBI

 My Review:
Wanting the first movie I watch of the year to be something really relaxing to watch and something with some animation I thought I would start with a movie I had never seen before called Gnome Alone and I wasn't disappointed with having chosen it.

This film I thought had a very believable main character for the modern day as she was a girl who moved to the town/city and felt alone even though she was always on her phone and for her it always came first. I thought that by having a character obsessed with being on her phone was something in which people would be able to relate to and did make her rather funny. I also thought that her having a friend in which she thinks is annoying but does everything he can in order to help her fight the Troggs was good as it showed that you never know who your best friends could be and sometimes they are the people in which you would least expect. By having the gnomes also having their own personalities and them trying to save the world was something in which I also liked as it gave them a reason for really being there and hearing the history between the Troggs and gnomes gave more insight into why they were trying to defeat the Troggs as much as they could and why they needed the stone back in the house as much as they do. Another thing I really did enjoy about this movie was later within it the people went inside one of the portals and the watcher was able to see where the Troggs came from and how they lived also how they came to the Earth which gave the Troggs a much bigger understanding to the watcher. By also having the mobile phone help to save the way at the end of the film I thought was a good way of showing that the main character felt she no longer needed to keep herself online to be happy and that she now has a real friend to spend time with. This film has great action sequences which are great for children and able to make children laugh with funny parts. I also thought that the animation used in this film was really well done and I really enjoyed the way that it was done.

I do wish that this movie had more character development for some of the gnomes as they are not really touched upon within the movie except that they are protecting the Earth from the Troggs.

 Overall, I think that this is a good movie which would be great for people who have children and want an animation movie to watch with some action within it. It is also good for those who want a more believable school child as the main character. This film did make me laugh and I would watch again when looking for something more relaxing to watch.

My Rating: 4/5

Mysteries and Secrets of Magic - C.J.S. Thompson (book review)

Book: Mysteries and Secrets of Magic Author: C.J.S. Thompson Published By: Senate Published Year: 1927 My Review:  As this book is a non-fiction book about magic I did find this rather interesting to read however it seemed like this novel was more of a tester to see what kind of topic you would be most interested in with it only having short amounts on various topics such as: Supernatural Beings, Greek and Roman Magic, Magical Numbers, The Grimoires or Handbook of Black Magic, Magic in Shakespeare's Plays and many more. This did however teach me about magic that I didn't know about and now want to look more into as a result of this book and discover more about the magic of the past as well if there is any use of magic in the world now as we know it in 2018 almost 100 years after this book was first published. I would recommend this book to those who would like to know more about magic however don't know what they would like to learn as this will help you know what as

Jeepers Creepers 3 (film review)

Film : Jeepers Creepers 3 Year : 2017 Genre : Horror, Mystery, Thriller Starring : Stan Shaw, Gabrielle Haugh, Brandon Smith About : Sheriff Dan Tashtego and a team of creeper hunters enlist the help of officer Davis Tubbs to help stop the monster's eating spree. My Review:  Jeepers Creepers 3 is more of a transition film between the first and second film starting exactly where the first one ended and ending exactly as one of the boys go onto the school bus like in the second movie.  This film is more about Jeepers Creepers himself and showing how he is able to catch the people in which he is tracking down. As well as this you are able to see how a woman has a part of Jeepers Creepers that is able to look into his history and figure out the way of possibly destroying him. This did annoy me however as during this you see that two of the characters are able to see into his past but does not show the audience anything at all or really tell you anything about the past t
