Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-eRc9PF3TU

 My Review:
Feeling like something that would be very easy watching and more of a romance movie I was happy when Set It Up appeared on my Netflix and thought that this would be perfect. This really happily surprised me and I am so happy this is the movie I chose.

I thought by having the two assistants both overworked and realising something had to be done in order to try and give them some time to have some social life was something that really helped to show how the two people needed a break and so teamed up together for their bosses. By keeping this only between them and setting up situations to bring the bosses together such as; getting stuck in an elevator together and kiss cam at a baseball game it was sweet to see how the two assistants worked together. Also having the male in a bad relationship and the woman unable to find love due to always working it set up for them noticing each other and falling for each other really nicely and didn't seem like the movie was forcing their romance. This was also really well done for the comedy in which was in this movie, it wasn't forced which did make me really like this movie and kept me wanting to see what happens next with all four of the characters (the two bosses and the two assistants). Another thing I did like was the ending of the movie when the assistants decide to tell the woman boss how their made the situations happen and how the male boss knew nothing about her and she deserved a lot better than him as it helped to show that sometimes people need someone else to show them the truth before they are able to see it themselves. By the female boss at the very end also bringing the assistants together realising that they are good for each other was really sweet and did make me smile.

I can't think of any bad points in this movie and think that this is a great rom-com which people should definitely watch if they are after a really sweet and warming movie. I am so glad that I seen this and will definitely be watching this again.

 My Rating: 5/5

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
