JUMPCUT ONLINE (77 KP) rated The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019) in Movies
Jun 30, 2019
It’s a strong sequel and, at times, even better than the original thanks to the welcome variety in story and a certain miser Ford and his Raiders of the Lost Bark. Will we get a third? Probably not, but for a welcome celebration of these box-office smashing pets and what they bring for their target audience, it's harmless fun.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated My Counterfeit Self in Books
Oct 5, 2020
What does poetry have to do with social activism? A whole lot, actually, as you'll find out in Jane Davis's novel "My Counterfeit Self" and through my #bookreview of this historical, contemporary, women's literary fiction novel on my blog now. (I think this has just become my favorite of her books, as it just edged out "Smash All the Windows" by a whisker!)<br/>https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/05/11/a-poetically-explosive-story/<br/>;
The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Keeping Lucy in Books
Oct 6, 2020 (Updated Oct 6, 2020)
This new #bookreview is for “Keeping Lucy” by T. Greenwood, is due to be released on August 3. This novel is about a woman who only wants one thing – to save her Down Syndrome daughter from a horrible institution. Set in the 60s and 70s, it is semi-historical and semi-contemporary, as well as fully an adult coming of age, women’s novel (no romance). https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/07/26/travels-with-light/
The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Klotsvog in Books
Oct 7, 2020
3.5* If you’ve ever wanted to understand what the term “unreliable narrator” means, the story of Maya Abramovna Klotsvog, who lives in the USSR after WWII, by Margarita Khemlin is an excellent example. Told like a memoir, this novel translated by Lisa C. Hayden, seems simple but is very different. See what I thought about it in my #bookreview here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/08/23/but-that-is-not-my-point/

JUMPCUT ONLINE (77 KP) rated Annabelle Comes Home (2019) in Movies
Jul 11, 2019
Sure, it’s hardly Hereditary, but it’s the kind of playfulness that’s sorely missing from the rest of Annabelle Comes Home. If a horror film isn’t intending to hold a mirror to society or to ourselves, and all it wants to do is make things go bump in the night, it needs to be fun enough for us to forgive the lack of substance.

JUMPCUT ONLINE (77 KP) rated The Flood (2019) in Movies
Jul 12, 2019
Visually, the film is full of dark imagery, shadows, and washed out yellows to present the film in a gritty, ‘untouched’ way. At times it does feel like a documentary based on the strength of the acting, and how current the issue is. What we see in the film, we see on the news constantly, and The Flood keeps reminding us of that fact.
