Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2400 KP) rated Relentless (Dominion, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Collin Boyd is walking to work one day when he looks up to see…himself walking to work. Thus begins a wild and crazy fantasy adventure that involves assassins and secret conspiracies. Yes, a decided break from my normal mysteries, but the fast paced story kept me turning pages. Can't wait for the next two.

An entertaining family adventure film most will enjoy. It is big budget and that shows in the amount of CGI effects, but at least they do look good. Not particularly original, it does pay homage to Disney's Fantasia at one point which was a nice touch. Kinda reminded me of the films I enjoyed when I was younger like The Neverending story. Fun for all ages if falling short of a classic.

I LOVE this.
I got it in a Goodreads giveaway, was really looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint.
A charming story about Pug's adventure, a fun plotline with great humour, and surrounded with wonderful illustrations.
Now to pass on to my 9 and 7 yr old as I know they will like the story, and could easily read it by themselves.
I'll be looking out for future books.

Robin Hood (2018) updates the legend to The Fast & The Feudal #Review
Unnecessary? Yes. Historically inaccurate? Ridiculously so. Fun? Absolutely, you miserable bunch. 2018’s “Robin Hood” sets out to put a modern #OccupySherwood spin on the age-old tale of the redistribution of medieval wealth and taken on its own bonkers terms, there’s a lot of fun to have with this bombastic fast and feudal’ adventure yarn....

David McK (3600 KP) rated The Lost World in Books
Jan 28, 2019
Arthur Conan Doyle's (more famous for his Sherlock Holmes creation) adventure novel, following a scientific expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin of South America, where prehistoric animals still survive.
Interesting not solely from a plot standpoint, but also as a window into the then contemporary views on the Dinosauria family: who mostly come across as slow and dull-witted compared to more recent interpretations, such as those in Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park.

So much better than the others.
The film needed a reboot. I know they were popular but I thought the first ones with Angelina Jolie were so bad they were near unwatchable. This is a good fun adventure, like a female Indiana Jones movie. It won't set the world on fire but it's quality entertainment.

unexpected swearing but otherwise good movie
the gang from the jumanji reboot are back and better then ever theres heartpounding action plenty of heart and humor and adventure just like before but a single warning to parents theres far more profanity in this one then before so if your offended by that might wanna take a raincheck before seeing this one but otherwise this is a wondeful movie

Started slow
Contains spoilers, click to show
First half hour is slow but hang in there, This is a Jason Bourne type movie with a neat twist. Its not just a doppelganger its Will Smith in his youthful years. He looks like he just danced off the set of Fresh Prince.
Snore factor 3/10 hang in there its worth it!
