The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Cocaine Blues (Phryne Fisher, #1) in Books

Oct 5, 2020

After reading many reviews filled with praise for Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher mystery novels, I finally decided to give them a look. The idea of a 1920s amateur sleuth in Australia was certainly a draw. That the sleuth is a woman was also attractive, particularly since I always loved Miss Marple, as well as Christie's books staring the adorable duo of Tommy and Tuppence. The question is could Greenwood's debut of this series live up to the creative twists mixed with charm and elegance that made Christie so famous and beloved. Find out in my review of "Cocaine Blues" here.

Nickg24 (492 KP) rated Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) in Movies

Sep 23, 2019

Was always going to be impossible being the next film up after endgame and though this one had one or two minor issues it's still another excellent entry into the MCU.

Some good action scenes,excellent performances by Tom Holland and Jon Favreau made this better than homecoming,though mysterio wasnt up to much as the bad guy with all his tech illusions.

It's a shame that the cliffhanger ending in the first post credits scene wont be fully explored as spiderman is no longer in the MCU.Hopefully Sony will keep up the quality in future movies and it will be interesting to see if spiderman goes up against venom or morbius.

CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated On My Own by Jeffrey Piton in Music

Jul 11, 2019

You can hear The Lumineers and Imagine Dragons just from the vocal mix, the heavy acoustic guitar, and the way the production doubles every harmony. Somehow the breaks always have oh-oh-oh and the melody flitters like a sparrow, but it still works. It's the simple message that says it all.

“It’s been a couple years
now I have scars to remind me
it can take a while
to get the wounds to heal”
— Jeffrey Piton
Jeffrey lives in Montreal, Canada, land of cold winters, sweet summers, and salty poutine. We think after he drops his new EP today he going to feel pretty good even if he has a few scars left from the experience.

Movie Rating

Short films are always hard to properly rate, especially as Battle at Big Rock is less than 9 minutes long!
But what we get here is a quick blast of dinosaur action that takes place soon after Fallen Kingdom, and revolves around a family on a camping trip, where they get stuck in the middle of two different dinosaur species fighting.

The short has a couple of cool shots as the chaos unfolds, and is a nice little appetiser for the upcoming third film in the Jurassic World trilogy, and it directly deals with the issue of dinosaurs living amongst us.

I would have given this a 6, but the awesome end credits sequence brings it up a mark.
