Alicia S (193 KP) rated Outlander - Season 1 in TV
Jan 7, 2018
Love, Love, Love
This show gets more and more beautiful with each season. Jamie and Claire have a such an incredible bond that Im constantly in tears watching. Every character is memorable and they manage to pull off many graphic yet important topics. Might just be my favorite show on television, ever. Can't get the husband into it though so my Outlander time has been my own private time :) Time travel, passion, love, heartache, loss, war, there are no words to properly sum up this incredible show.

The End Scene Is Not As Good As The Start
Not The Strongest In The Disney List
This is still a great film as there are only 1 in 100000 Disney films that miss the mark, but i just didnt really enjoy this as much.
At times the story felt like it struggled and didnt run too well, the start is so good but after about 3/4 through it starts to drag and looses its magic

Period gothic drama on superstition v science
A very good modern period gothic drama about how a town can convince itself about a mythical beast while confronting contemporary science.
In the centre of the entire story is a beautiful but complex relationship between a woman of science and a priest who on most occasions disagree with one another but learn to come to terms with each other's viewpoints. And in between their relationship is a withering wife and her autistic son. A multilayered novel rich with substance.

A fun romp, but not Jeunet's best
This is really good, my expectations for the director are somewhat unfairly high. It is a story about revenge and poetic justice, yet manages to be fun. A little magical, and a lot whimsical. Really good for people who are not put off by zany and stylized things. (Same category, but different flavor to Wes Anderson, say)

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.

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.
