A beautiful, to-scale galaxy to explore (2 more)
Lots of ways to choose your path
Lessons are learned the hard way

Online connection required, even for solo play
The various systems at play, including flight mechanics, are just complicated enough to be believable, while not hindering gameplay. It also helps that the game looks gorgeous, and runs solidly.

A sombre and beautifully written outlook on a South Korean massacre
Once again Han Kang has written a haunting piece of literature very different from her award-winning debut novel The Vegetarian.
The intricate meshing of narratives of several stories across generations explains the disturbing effects of the Gwangju uprising - South Korea's Tiananmen Square massacre. There are elements of spirits attempting to reach friends and family members after being killed by government forces. The language is melancholic and beautiful, and entire story is an absolute tragedy.

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated The Guilt Gene in Books
Apr 27, 2018
Rating: 4.5/5
Thoughts: THE GUILT GENE is Diana’s memoir in poetry. Her life was filled with excitement, pain, loss and gain. Her words are beautiful and lyric and demand to be read several times over, not just once. Many times while reading this book I read the same poem over several times, just so I could hear it again. Her story is a sad but hopeful one, and something I believe everyone should read.
Recommendation: Ages 12+

Billie Wichkan (118 KP) rated Love's Second Chance Series Box Set One in Books
Mar 15, 2019
This collection has 4 wonderful full-length novels. Each one has a character that has appeared before and all these can be read as a standalone also. The author is truly gifted and she describes love in a beautiful clean way. Her stories are all intriguing and gripping. The characters are well developed and have appeared previously which is lovely to see and follow.
I highly recommend these to be read.
I received the box set from the novelist herself but this is my honest opinion.

Modern version isn't embarrassing (4 more)
Keeps the heart of the Samurai film alive
Lovely depiction of a samurai village
Tom Cruise is quite good
Epic Scope versus a small feel.
A great modern samurai film
I didn't expect a samurai film with Tom Cruise to be any good, but this one is great. Solid casting, great story, and even great action. But with beautiful moments of quiet. Which really is the samurai way. I love the depiction of the village, with everyone perfecting their respective crafts.

I'm glad this movie finally got Leo his Oscar. But, do I think he's had better performances? Of course. The scenery was beautiful, and I love that natural light was used throughout.
Just when you think the bear is done, it comes back. It scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it.
I'm also a Domhnall Gleeson fan, and I thought he did really well in this movie. Tom Hardy was savage, as always, and it was a joy to watch.

Jul 12, 2018
This was a beautiful tribute to a man who only wanted the world to be a good place. It was great to hear about how he sometimes felt unsure of himself and unsure if what he was doing was right. It was great to hear him talk about how teaching children was so important and it was great hearing about how he developed his style for teaching children in such a way. Such a great guy. We didn't deserve him but I'm happy we had him.
Lee (2222 KP) rated A Ghost Story (2017) in Movies
Jul 21, 2018
Recently added to Netflix is 2017 movie A Ghost Story, starring Casey Affleck. From A24, the studio responsible for The Witch and Heteditary, so I was very dubious about watching this! A poignantly beautiful tale of life, death, time and grief. With minimal dialogue, it is definitely a very weird film (a 5 minute scene of someone literally just eating pie in silence?!), and many people will just hate it. For me, there was just enough thought provoking and beautifully shot scenes to keep me happy.

Jul 23, 2018
This book is a timeless love story written in a beautiful, lyrical way. The story itself was written from several different perspectives, which was quite easy to follow once I got into it and Lucy Foleys descriptive writing style easily transports you to each seperate setting really well. I found it very easy to get absorbed into the story and was eager to find out how everything was going to unfold. No spoilers, but, although bittersweet, I absolutely loved the ending and thought it was done brilliantly!
