It is a fantasy/romance/horror/humour story with swordfights and magic and its just so well written you want to keep right on reading even when you know you […]
I really wan’t expecting much from this, but it stars Tom Hardy, and so must be watched. And you know what, it wasn’t as bad as I had feared. I mean, it made no real sense, and it was a mess, but in the end it was fairly amusing and fun. I call that a […]

Surprisingly I liked this. I loved the first, but was bored during the second, so I wasn’t expecting great things from the third in the series. Maybe this was the reason I liked it, low expectations and all, but whatever the cause I’m glad. It isn’t as good as the first; I don’t think I’d […]
