Erika (17788 KP) rated Clue (1985) in Movies

The multiple endings
Communism is just a red-herring.
This movie holds up after multiple viewings. The cast is fantastic, and the movie was completely zany. I always watch the film with all 3 endings, and I can't pick a favorite. This film definitely borrows a lot from 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie, but it's definitely not a bad thing. Madeline Kahn was my favorite in this film, because all of her lines were perfectly delivered.
This is one movie that never needs to be remade.

Critically underrated
I’m always a bit cringe telling people this is my favourite film, but it honestly is. The direction is SUPERB. The pacing is perfect. When my son finally got old enough to watch it, I could tell he thought it was going to be terrible. He finally agreed to watch 5 minutes, with the caveat that he could leave after that if he was bored.
The first 5 minutes have it all! He was hooked.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Inferno Squad (Star Wars Battlefront #2) in Books
Jun 19, 2019
Set just after the events of Rogue One, this novel is about how the Empire struck back. It features the elite Inferno Squad, put together to infiltrate one of the rebel cells. The novel is also inspired by Battlefront II.
I liked the characters in general, and the story was interesting and well-paced. There are also some Easter eggs from The Clone Wars television show. Christie Golden has always been a solid author of video-game/franchise inspired stories. I hope Disney gives her another book to write.

Tackles stereotypes
From the BBC: All Mobeen wants to do is follow his faith, lead a good life and make sure his sister fulfils her potential. But can he juggle this with his criminal past always chasing him?
This show is absolutely hilarious, set in Birmingham it follows Mobeen as he attempts to raise his sister, look after his mates (who need all the help they can get) and follow his faith. However with idiot police, the new drug dealers and (un)helpful family/friends life gets a little difficult.

David McK (3425 KP) rated Trans-Human (Post-Human, #3) in Books

Direct sequel to [b:Post-Human|7105194|Post-Human (Post-Human, #2)|David Simpson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1400409353s/7105194.jpg|7363719], picking up roughly a year and a half after the events of that previous novel.
The entire Human Race has been returned to life (don't ask - read the previous novel), but they are about to come under threat again, this time from extra-terrestrial rather than terrestrial enemies.
As before, however, things are not always what they seem ...
Once again, this was an OK read, but nothing spectacular.

Logan (76 KP) rated One Past Midnight: The Langoliers in Books
Jan 14, 2019
I've always had fond memories of watching this movie as a child. Listening to the audio book narrated by Wilem Dafoe (who did great job, although the voices for Bethany and Rudy were extremely irritating) was pretty great overall. My biggest criticism is that a couple of the male characters stand out as exceptionally competent while the females are weak and needy, and it makes things feel a little imbalanced. I rewatched the movie after finishing it, and although the effects don't hold up that well, give it a shot anyway!
Kevin Phillipson (10018 KP) rated Doctor Who: Logopolis in TV
Nov 23, 2019
Probably my favourite from season 18 saved the best for last not perfect not the best forth doctor story by any means but a good way for the doctor to go out after 7 years in the part. will always be my number one doctor the one I grew up with back in 70s now I've watched it in hi definition it looks amazing. But the worst part still for me is adric didn't like him then but I suppose now I tolrate his character. Good story

After all, you don't have to be a sword-wielding Gryffindor to be a hero; sometimes, all it takes is having you heart in the right place. -chapter 4
This was an interesting read that gave back stories to several Hogwarts teachers including Minerva McGonagall, Remus Lupin, Sybill Trelawney, and Silvanus Kettleburn.
For me this was a fun read because Minerva McGonagall and Remus Lupin have always been my favorite Hogwarts teachers.
