My Take on Zombieland: Double Tap

Ah zombies. The world's favourite post apocalyptic scenario. Zombies seem to be the end of the natural world as we know it, and Zombieland: Double Tap  doesn't stray away from that idea. Following on from its successful first movie, Zombieland, we get to see the main characters, Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), and what they have been up to as they've started their new life together, trying to make the best of the zombie apocalypse. Quickly however, "paradise" dissolves and another cross country adventure begins. To me, Zombieland: Double Tap, was just a mirror image of the first movie, but it was from a carnival mirror. You know the type, the ones that make you laugh but ultimately aren't what you talk about when the night is over. The movie had its merits, the jokes were funny, the action was packed, but it just didn't sit right. While i found myself quoting and re-watchi...

My take on "Skulduggery Pleasant" by Derek Landy

If you like the idea of there being a secretive, magical world where the most badass person isn't even a real person, then do I have a book series for you! Skulduggery Pleasant  by Derek Landy is, in my opinion, one of the most captivating book series that has never failed the reader. With Landy's latest release in the Skulduggery series, it extends it out to a 12 book main series, with a further four novellas, one of which is a compilation of short stories. That's a readers' dream! Imagine starting a new book series and having 16 books already written and ready to roll! Amazing! Now, many may worry that with so many books, that the writing may become sub-par, however I am here to tell you that it doesn't! As you go on this journey that Landy has laid out for us, you can see how his writing grows throughout the story development. Landy keeps his readers attention through many different writing styles, for example his ability to make the reader feel like they are si...

My Take on "Elevation" by Stephen King

Where to start, where to start. As usual, Stephen King has left me with the same sense of feeling of, "what did I just read?" If you have thought about starting to get into reading Stephen King, then I would probably recommend this as a starting point. Unlike his other books, Elevation  is very short, 144 pages short to be precise. Having it be this short, allows for you to get right into the story without having to read the extremely detailed back stories and descriptions that King usually writes (not that that trait is bad in anyway). It also allows for people who are new to King to get a sense for how he writes. Not many other authors have the same flair or style that he has and it can take some getting used to. But it being a short story has had no effect on the suspense that only Stephen King can give. Right from the get go, you're wondering about the characters and what is happening, leading you into wondering where on earth that this story could go. By the end of t...

Introduction!

What is going on my individuals?! Welcome to my blog, Jordan's World! In this wonderful place you'll find a variety of things that all have a special place within in my heart. Most of the time, they will be "reviews" on things such as books, movies, TV shows, Technology, gaming and many other little things here and there. Now, reviews is being used in a very broad sense here as I am, in no way, an expert on any of these matters, but they are things I am passionate about. So more than a review, I suppose you could say it's more of an opinion of an everyday person. By doing it this way, I hope I will be able to help each person who reads a post have a greater understanding of that topic, what other people may think and to help in the aid of justifying to yourself why you need that new game! However! It will not always be the brand spanking new, the best of the best as they say. Sometimes I might talk about things that came out/were released/was published many,...
