I love the film version and would like to read the book one day.

They waste a lot of time with the story in this series. It starts off promising but gets lost around episode 3. Did they decide they might try for an ongoing series?

The character Gomez is annoying and rather unlikely in how he turns up to save the day.

Rose Leslie as a romantic lead doesn't work too well. She is harsh looking and seems more sexually aggressive than soft and romantic. The actress who plays Claire's sister would have been far better suited.

Having so many Henry's running around in time seems rather extreme even for what is a sci fi fantasy plot and if he has no control over where and when he appears than how is it he appears so often in the woods behind Claire's parents house?

A lot more planning should have gone into this. It would have worked better as a self contained mini series and the finale was terrible.

News just in, show has been cancelled now anyway.

The films starts off with some potential. A kid who is mute is left alone by his father, his mother committed suicide for reasons never explained. Kid finds a magic book and decides to evoke a spell only to summon a Djinn of the film's title.

But wait, there were warnings that the Djinn is not nice! Luckily the Djinn stirs up memories of the alien in "Signs" who can be trapped in a kitchen pantry! The Djinn appears to be easily beaten by the kid time after time even when he has the kid pinned to the floor!

And then the film just kind of ends. The moral being "Be careful what you wish for" or perhaps just don't summon Djinn's?

From the first second there is just a cheap feel to it all. The cast look awkward and the writing is shocking. Patricia Heaton exits the elevator and the canned applause starts Happy Days style.She hasn't done or said anything yet, obviously we are meant to be excited that she has arrived! I lost what was left of my interest at that point.

I'm out.

I was a little excited when I saw that the Twilight Zone was coming back. I was also worried because I feared they might make it very PC and dumb it all down. Not to mention missing the whole point of the show.

I have made it to episode 4 so far and won't bother going further. Just because theme of "The Twilight Zone" is supposed to be some kind of twist or irony it doesn't mean the story can just be plain stupid.

That is the other problem at play here. In these stories there aren't any twists or ironies. In Ep 3 creativity is sacrificed for the sake of a Black Lives Matter rant. There is so much that could have been done with that story line, the fact that the main female actor was behaving more and more suspicious thus alerting the cop when there may have been no cause for alert at all.

The 4th ep where nothing happens.

The first 2 eps where nothing happens.

Perhaps the irony is we are really living in the Twilight Zone where creativity is dead yet there are more films and shows than ever.

A simple minded, or perhaps straight up retarded Southerner flukes his way through life. That in itself may have been ok-ish as a premise. But it isn't enough for this film, not only does Forrest fluke his way through life he also witnesses or even engages in major parts of history as well as meeting key people of the era.

Oh, he also instigates some of the biggest trends as well. The smiley face t shirt, the s**t happens slogan.

The most interesting part or theme of the film for me is his undying love for his childhood sweetheart Jenny or "Jenn-ay" as our bumbling hero pronounces it. Despite him chasing her throughout the film she beds anything that moves as well getting involved in all the moronic Liberal causes, picks up a drug habit and when she has lost her looks she comes back to Ol' Forrest and finally beds him after she turns down his proposal.

Apparently Forrest isn't very smart but he "knows what love is". Well, maybe he does but she is a manipulative bitch. After sleeping with him she runs away yet again. Then a few years later she invites him to her place and tells him that he has a kid! He believes it of course and the reason she tells him is she is dying.

Ain't love grand?

The idiot accepts it and takes custody of the kid after she dies. So he has millions but zero in the sense of smarts.

A film which is meant to be heart warming but I found was cynical in many ways.

What starts off as a good and slightly different modern Western revenge film quickly turns into some kind of horror/slasher flick by the start of Season 2. The downfall is a character called "The Swede" even though he is Norwegian.

It seems that this man has super human powers and just won't die. The show loses track of it's original premise, also killing off most of it's more interesting female characters along the way.

By the time The Swede finally gets taken care of I called it quits. The show for me had ended and I wasn't interested even though there was most of the final season to go.

Full of boring PC lecturing too. Never helps.

This film is about the last woman hung in England. I have read the other reviews and it seems there are some real fans of this movie. I think this is a problem when movie buffs review films. Odd, I know but what they do is focus on direction, lighting all these technical things which although good in some cases don't necessarily make for a good film.

And that is the problem here. The acting is top notch no complaints there, all the pegs appear to be in the right places. But the film is boring and pointless nonetheless. We see a woman who hosts parties and prostitutes herself. She isn't particularly mean but she isn't all that nice either. She has an affair with a younger man who in the end is just stringing her along as his parents do not approve when he says he wants to marry her. I would not approve either.

When he fails to take her abroad as promised, she gets upset and shoots him. There doesn't seem to be much more to it than that and then the film ends. No court room scenes, no more insight into her mind, nothing.

Are we meant to feel sympathy because she is a woman? She killed someone, she was executed.

I feel like I wasted my time watching this movie.

I was a huge fan of Ghost Adventures when it first started. The show really did give me the creeps at times even though I often doubted the "evidence" they compiled. At the end of the day it was fun and like a modern day boys own adventure.

After a while though the show became old. The evidence became less frequent and the boys still act like they are brand new to it all. Surely by now they should be hardened veterans?

And so I decided to watch this Demon House anyway. I heard it was terrifying, Zak himself claims that this investigation "Fxxxed him up".

OK.. so it revolves around a suburban house that has been giving the tenants grief, they have all felt and been affected by things they claim to have heard and/or seen. It couldn't be mold in the house or coming from the semi exposed floor in the basement could it?

Well, we will never know. Zak calls in some expert to run tests on the electric frequencies in the house. We are told there is the occasional oddities. But we have to take that at face value.

Zak decides to board the house up with him inside it. Again we don't really hear or see anything. Again any sounds captured have to just be taken at face value.

We are told there is a Demon in the house, and Zak who has bought the house gets it demolished.

And herein lies the problem that an "expert" like Zak should already know.

Demolishing a house does not kill the spirits/entities with in it. Furthermore he takes some of the soil to keep in his museum! Ummm... the soil seems to be the problem and given he claims that his eyesight has been affected it seems like a rather stupid thing for a so called expert to be doing?
