BookInspector (124 KP) rated Somewhere Close to Happy in Books

This novel has very complex characters, and I really liked the way the author developed them throughout the pages. I liked Lizzie a lot, she is very strong, even though she doesn’t realise it sometimes. She is willing to go out of her comfort zones on multiple occasions, in order to find Roman. I really enjoyed the multiple timelines in this novel as well, we not only follow the search but also have an amazing insight into Lizzie’s past.
The author played with the narrative very smartly and creatively. The narrative is always changing, and every chapter ends with a cliffhanger. That made this book a true page-turner. All I wanted was for Lizzie to find Roman, and all the “near misses” were driving me insane!

As much as I love Meryl Streep and I truly think she is an amazing actress and deserves every bit of credit she is given, I think the true star of this film was Amy Adams. I think that she is magnificent in her complexity, in her humanity, in her portrayal of such a happenstance. Julie Powell decided to do something on a whim and she ended up with this and Amy Adams plays that very well. I think that she makes it easy to feel inspired and moved. You go through the stages of elation and grief and exhaustion with her and you almost wish you could be there to comfort her. But Eric says everything you never could.
I think this is a really special film. I'm sad it took me this long to watch it.

This one is being shown as part of a classic Christmas line up at Cineworld. I like the idea of seeing some golden oldies on the screen, and I'm a little ashamed to admit that I have never seen this one. It really felt like I needed to fix that.
Is there anything more wonderful than an opening credit scene on an old movie? A printed book with a title page and all the actors listed out... I think not.
I'm not sure this will make it into my list of favourite Christmas movies, even though it was lovely. Old films do get me deep down, there's something so much more wonderful about them than some of the overly CGId modern films.
You've always got the great message of this film to fall back on too. You don't know how your life has impacted someone else. You shouldn't wish it away, you never know who it might impact in the future.

Sarah (7800 KP) rated Killing Eve - Season 3 in TV
Oct 2, 2020
This is definitely the weakest of the seasons so far. It still has it's funny and witty moments and some of the kills are rather ingenious as always, but overall this whole season just feels rather tired. We’ve seen all of this in the other two series, the constant back and forth with Eve and Villanelle and it’s getting rather dull. It was fun originally to watch the killings and look at all the cool and silly outfits Villanelle wears, but after 3 seasons it’s nothing new anymore. You can predict exactly what the characters are going to do and it just isn’t interesting any more. It was nice to see more of Fiona Shaw’s character Carolyn but even that was spoilt by her beyond irritating daughter Geraldine.
I really hope this is the last series of Killing Eve, as I just don’t see where they can take it from here that will reinvent it and mix it up.
