Read The Hellbound Heart and The Great and Secret Show by Clive Barker.
Quickly... I really liked Hellbound Heart, the basis of the Hellraiser movies. Very serious tone to it combined with a lot of character depth, which unforunately TGaSS didn't have as well. The dialogue there become unserious at times, making it all just too light unfortunately. Too often had people going to their potential death while exchanging lighthearted banter. Really enjoyed Hellbound Heart though.

Liked the new Planet of the Apes movie. Liked the CGI facial expressions. Thought it was better acting than what is seen from the vast majority of real actors. Wouldn't mind seeing CGI actors generally replacing most actors. Had lots of "power moments", with Caesar finally speaking, and here and there showing how intelligent he was, sticking it to Malfoy, etc.
