'Tall Girl' Movie Review
Jodi Kreyman, a 6'1 and a 1/2, 16 year old girl, attending high school. Nothing special or particular about that sentence. Take a look again at the height of this young girl.

She has been mercilessly teased for her great stature, the classic question 'How's the weather up there?' on repeat. Jodi has her two good friends Fareeda, a positive, live soul and Jack Dunkleman (AKA 'Dunkle'), who is madly in love with her.

Old School Anime Reviews - 'Another'
Let me ask you guys a question: have you seen the Final Destination films? If yes, then you'll know what I mean when I say that the series we're looking at for this latest installment of the Old School Anime Reviews series is like an animated form of Final Destination. If you're not familiar with the films in question, they basically follow a group of people who cheat death—surviving a catastrophe that they should've died in due to one character suddenly developing psychic abilities. These characters are all subsequently picked off by Death in some seriously sadistic ways.

I Reluctantly Fell in Love with “Legacies!” Plus, New Season Two Trailer
As a devout Vampire Diaries fan, I go into every spinoff series with low expectations. Why? Simply because history has proven sequels never live up to the originals… no pun intended! Besides, I was so smitten with The Vampire Diaries at the time, I wasn’t looking for another show that didn’t feature Damon and Stefan.

Do You Remember 'Twinkle Annuals'?
Twinkle Annuals, which were especially for little girls. Twinkle started as a Comics Magazine in 1968 until 1999, with an Annual every year from 1970, and its last was in the year 2003. The Annual contained stories of regular characters, and some new ones, all illustrated with beautiful pictures. Fun, colourful, perfect for a little girls' imaginations. There were also some puzzles pages and pictures to colour in, very exciting for a child! The Annuals were printed and published by D.C. Thomson & Co. In 2012 Royal Mail issued a special stamp of Twinkle, to celebrate Twinkle's history!

My Review of 'Murder Mystery'
Another Adam Sandler Netflix exclusive movie has made its way to us. Every time he comes out with a new movie I cringe, because I don't have huge hopes for them. I'm starting to think that Netflix is probably the perfect place for Adam Sandler movies.

Dream Setting
No one had the right to make fun of Virgil for getting the idea from Sharkboy and Lava Girl since they are parts of the same Disney addict. What was this idea? Making a rocket so Thomas could travel to his mind? No, there would be a lot of complications with that suggestion that would give Logan bald spots from pulling his hair. It was actually to dream hard enough that he would be in what he considered his ideal environment to the point where he'd sleep all day long. He knew what ideal environment he had in mind, but he didn't dare tell anyone else since he would be shot with too many questions. When he used to reside with the Dark Sides, he had no problem revealing what thoughts invaded his head; in fact, they just begged him to tell them more. It wasn't until Virgil told the Light Sides about his thoughts so casually that he realized the Dark Sides never really hoped for any good in his wellbeing.
