The power of Three ( charmed book 1)
By Eliza Willard and Constance M. Burge
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The first in a new series about three gorgeous sisters who disover they are the most powerful of all witches. Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell didn't think reading a mgical incantation would work, but now Prue can move things with her mind, Piper can freeze time and Phoebe can see into the future.

Oh this was like putting a warm blanket round myself. I love this series and until recently I didn’t know I could get the books. It’s never going to win awards but I loved it. I’m an emotional reviewer I always review on how a book makes me feel once it’s finished and what’s better then nostalgia on paper?!

I know I watched the first Extraction movie, really only remembering the intense action scenes and that long seemingly single take tracking shot.

This one has an even longer one.

Truth be told, I'd forgotten that - at the end of the previous movie - Chris Hemsworth's Tyler Rake had fallen into the Ganges after been stabbed and shot a lot.

This picks up from that, with Rake pulled out of the water in the very first scene and spending the entirety of the first act in recovery.

It's really from Act 2 in that the action kicks off (with, seemingly, his injuries all but forgotten) as he agrees to extract a family from a prison - cue near enough 1.5 hours of virtually non stop action.

Worth a watch? Yes.

Will it win any awards? Doubt it.

People misunderstand this film.
Watching Joker, I knew that this would not be your average DC film. Knowing this, I think this is why i enjoyed it and i can understand why a lot of people didn't. Arthur Fleck is isolated and bullied by society, He has dreams of being a comedian except,He's not very funny. Arthur takes jobs to earn money and also cares for his mum. Arthur is already a man on the edge, He takes pills every day to suppress a personality disorder. The further we go into the film the further, we feel Arthur's Pain. He does not fit in anywhere. Arthur just wants to be accepted and to make people happy through comedy. When a social service program receives funding cuts which stops him from having his medication. Arthur finds out a shattering piece of news, which, in his fragile state of mind, tips him over the edge.

I can't really say anymore with spoilers and i don't want to spoil the film for anyone who has not yet seen it. For me personally, I went in with the mindset of watching Joker as a film about a mentally ill and unstable man rejected by society. That's why i enjoyed it. If you go in expecting Batman to pop up then , My friends, You will be seriously disappointed.

All i can say is, it's a slow burner of a film and that is for good reason so we fully understand the trauma of being Arthur. I've no doubt if nominated Joaquin Phoenix will win all awards given out in awards season. His performance is that brilliant. Is he the best Joker though? ....We'll leave that up for debate.
