Science meets Religion and has a two way conversation
Truly an incredible book, it is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for something new. The reconciliation of religion and science has never been so beautifully scifi.
As someone raised without religion, this was still an incredible read, and truly made me see the beauty in both hard science and faith.

Oh my. What a film. A must see for all dog lovers. You follow the soul of one little dog as he is born, dies and is reborn over and over. I was sobbing my heart out through most of the film! The film takes you on Baileys journey as he navigates life eventually finding his way back to his owner Ethan. Such a beautiful film.

A Cool Gold Costume
This was a unique and fun movie. I have heard multiple complaints that the CGI wasn't very good. I strongly disagree. The CGI looked fantastic and it was a film that we haven't seen yet. The CGI in particular under water was a very beautiful and it looked extremely realistic. A pretty strong addition to the DC Universe and it's one that I'll watch again.

Elegantly Filmed
Making Action Classy
A Fun And Elegant Movie
This new twist to a secret service has put elegance and honor to a modern day spy movie and as few realize has an actual background in real history that brings a complete brilliance to the whole film. Along with being a heart whelming tale about coming of age this film offers a little something for everyone.

Farcry with robot animals
Did I ask for farcry with robot giraffes. No but evidently I needed it. Such an endearing female protagonist, and not scantily clad. I support it. She's so badass and quick witted, a bit of an asshole and I love her for it. The customization actually mattered that was refreshing

Aquaman
This movie has done a wonderful job of staying close to its comic book roots. The visual effects are beautiful and believable.The storyline keeps it moving with a surprise near the end. Jason Momoa is absolutely perfect for this tough guy , coming of age, softie character. He knows what's important and fights to protect it. My 13 year old son who says he " HATES SUPERHEROES " loved this is movie.

Worth watching
A beautiful movie with enough gore and mystery. This movie will make you question who's the villain for most part of the film, and you will not expect to see what you will see near the end of it. It is not action based with rivers of blood, but it will do its best to scare you and make you shiver from every sound.

It All Came To This
Here is a quick review. Watch it. Have you seen the other MCU movies? All of them were leading to this moment. Go see it if you haven't yet. And if you haven't yet, WHY are you reading this? Go see it. Period. Go see it. Now. Or the next showtime.
Spoiler free review? There it was.

Basically about Churchill becoming Prime Minister, against his own cabinet and king's wishes, and dealing with his own Darkest Hour.
I was gobsmacked at Gary Oldman's performance. By the time we got to the "we will fight them on the beaches" speech, I was a wet rag!
Beautiful cinematography and music. Cast was awesome, would watch again (and again!!)

rich visual scenes
Such a beautiful series
This entire series is so amazing. The scenes are described is such rich detail that it transports you into the story. Feyre was easy to love. She is a very strong female character and I was invested in her story from the start. Tamlin intrigued me and I really felt drawn to Lucien. I felt like I was drawn to his character.
