The Invitation


I would rate this as an average film.  Not the best when it comes to horror and not the best when it comes to Vampire films, but what makes this an average film despite these shortcomings are some little touches relating to race, class and privilege which make this a better film than others.  

If you are watching this film to be scared, do not bother, it is not scary at all.  It is intriguing though as I did want to see what the mystery was and how the film unfolded.  Despite not being frightening, it was engaging.  I do not think that I would watch it again, but I am glad that I did watch it.

How Labour destroyed homeownership for everyone – even the wealthy


I just thought that I would post these screenshots of a headline on Bing, and the article that is shown once you click on the link.

The bias shown against Labour in the media is not something I expected to see on Bing.  Many would consider me to be silly for having that view.  I suspect that I will be sharing a lot of things like this in the next few years.

How a Trump presidency may show the failings of Reform UK


The USA, when presented with a competent woman decided to elect a man who tried to overthrow democracy. Over the last four years, we have not had to deal with headlines detailing insane ideas in The White House.  It looks like the Republicans are to have a clean slate in that they are to take The Senate and The House of Representatives.

This means that from January, for two years, there will be no obstacles to Trump doing what he promised when it comes to tariffs on goods produced abroad as well as deporting illegal immigrants.  He has made lots of other promises.  There should not really be any reasons why he is not going to deliver.

We have seen how Brexit has stopped political parties in the EU for arguing to leave the European Union, because they have seen what a nightmare it is for the UK.  We will get to see how Trump and his policies will affect the USA.  If they are the disaster that many predict, then parties which make similar promises like Reform UK may face electoral consequences.

Child's Play


I thought that this was an enjoyable film.  Not too scary though, and if you want a frightening film, there are better ones out there.  It had an enjoyable plot, though I was left wondering how Chucky got back from some of the murder scenes.  I have not watched the original, so cannot compare it to what it was based on, but has a fun gore film, it is worth watching.  Just do not watch it if you want to be scared or are expecting a film with an astounding plot.
