KarenRC (6 KP) rated The Tall Man in Books
Jul 23, 2018
For the majority of this book I was clueless as to what had happened and who had done what to who! But that is a good thing! It was only in the last few chapters that everything did finally come together and it was done very well. Loved the back and forth between the 90’s, 2016, 2018, diary entries and emails. Even with all the back and forth, it was easy to follow and did a great job of keeping the story moving while ramping up the tension.
An excellent debut thriller that will have you checking those shadows!

The First Purge (2018) feels like the #SnyderCut of Childish Gambino's "This Is America" #Review
What better viewing choice on the 4th of July than the latest instalment in the satirical horror series, one that goes back to the beginning and commemorates the very start of the decline of the land of the so-called free? “The First Purge” sets out to explain just how a society could come to adopt such a monstrous idea in the first place, a question which feels less and less difficult to answer with each passing day...

The Craggus (360 KP) rated The Equalizer 2 (2018) in Movies

The Equalizer 2 (2018) may take some odd turns but evens out into a solid vigilante thriller. #Review
I’m enough of a fan of the original TV show “The Equalizer” to wish Antoine Fuqua had found a way to incorporate Stewart Copeland’s superb synth-driven theme tune into this modern reinterpretation. But my favourite part of the TV series was always the helping out of ‘the little guy’ rather than the bigger, over-arching spycraft arcs. It’s in this area that “The Equalizer 2” unexpectedly delights even as it leads to a slightly meandering story on screen... FULL REVIEW: http://bit.ly/CraggusEqualizer2
Karinax (1 KP) rated Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine in Books
Aug 25, 2018
Best book of 2018
Eleanor thinks she has life all worked out, with a flat, a stable job and the same Pesto & Pasta meal every night, nothing is amiss. Apart from, sometimes, everything. A remarkable story about loneliness and how it can be perceived to others. Not my usual sort of book but I was hooked from the very start till the very end. Eleanor Oliphant has changed my perception of life, and how fabulously different we all really are.

First Man (2018) brings down-to-earth intimacy to the story of mankind’s giant leap. #Review
Opening with Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) test piloting an X-15 rocket ship so high you fear he may crash in to the orbiting Universal Logo which went past mere seconds before, Damien Chazelle’s quietly absorbing biopic is something of an antithesis to the usual stars ‘n’ stripes bombastic heroic portrayal the US space program usually receives. Instead, the focus here puts the man in the foreground while the mission is pushed to the back...

The Craggus (360 KP) rated The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018) in Movies
Nov 6, 2018
If life is like a box of chocolates, then The Nutcracker And The Four Realms (2018) is a bumper selection pack. #Review
“The Nutcracker And The Four Realms” is chocolate box art lavishly brought to over-saturated, over-sugared, overly decorated life on the big screen. And, like the contents of that box of chocolates, there are moments of sublime deliciousness, a few over-sweet gooey confections and even the occasional nut. It’s hard to resist all the tempting treats on offer, even if gobbling them all up in one sitting does make you feel slightly queasy....

The Craggus (360 KP) rated Overlord (2018) in Movies
Nov 7, 2018
Formulaic WW2 action horror Overlord (2018) is Nazi movie you may be expecting. #Review
Much less of an out-and-out horror film than the trailers would suggest, “Overlord” is, in fact, a brutal and tense World War II action adventure which belatedly takes a horror turn in its final act.
As stylish as it is, it doesn’t stray very far from the ‘big book of war movie tropes’ as rewritten by Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan” and much of its sound and fury war-is-Hell big moments have already appeared in the marketing...
