Preppy music was irritating (1 more)
Black stars were secondary although the film was about jazz
Why did this win so many awards?
First of all I'm still completely baffled at how this received so many awards when there were clearly much better films out there. Second of all, the music was beyond irritating to the point I turned the volume down every time it came on. There were some beautiful heartfelt moments but I'm still thinking 70:30 in terms of bad to good ratio. Disappointing after all the hype.
Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Luke (Malloys of Montana, #2) in Books
May 7, 2019
this is a good cowboy romance story. The male character is just so sweet, you will definitely melt as you read. This book can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series. This is the perfect book for the winter months, with sexy cowboys to keep you reading long into the night and beyond. I cant wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Heaton is on point as Nicholson gives good account
In an era where comic adaptations are starting to become a thing again, this attempt at barman leaves little to imagination. Both Keaton and Nicholson give extremely good performances on what was a fairly lacklustered storyline. All a bit predictable. That being said, the performance of Nicholson took it above and beyond.

A book that covers awkward and uncomfortable topics such as race, gender, and pop culture with enough humor to take off the edge, Phoebe Robinson is an unapologetic feminist with something to say. If it makes you uncomfortable, good. Her words are something that need to be read and taken seriously even as she makes them humorous. I value her wisdom and experiences because it something that will never occur to me. It’s hard for me to saying anything else beyond everyone needs to read this book, especially those who need their minds opened.

Jason's story continues in this brilliant follow-up
Not to give away the story, but starting off with a twist virtually guarantees that the rest of the story will be above and beyond. Jason's got a lot of choices he needs to make, and having changed the fundamentals of the game, a lot of people are gunning for him.
Including Alexion.
And let's not mention Alfred's offer, the one that Jason seems equally unsure of and eager for.
Travis has developed a very compelling antihero, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

John Cena's acting. (1 more)
The weird sex scenes.
Let's be real here ... American Pie is still the best for raunchy humor. Everything beyond that falls short in comparison. And when they cast people who can't act well, it makes even the good parts bad. If you like typical frat humor, helicopter parenting, and mediocre plot lines .. this might be right up your alley. I gave it five out of ten but that's being gracious. I could have gone my whole life without seeing this film and that would be perfectly fine.

Sorry To Bother You (2018) has nothing to apologise for. #Review
Boots Riley’s absurdist, pitch-black satire may just end up becoming one of the most important and resonant films of our time. Not because its concerned particularly with the topical venality of Trumpism and the ongoing corruption of western political discourse but because it looks beyond these deplorable but ultimately transient phases at the bigger societal picture and savages the superficiality of a social media-driven world sleepwalking into a voluntary corporatocracy....

Deborah (162 KP) rated The Favored Queen: A Novel of Henry VIII's Third Wife in Books
Dec 21, 2018
I know the author says in the back that this is meant as an 'entertainment' and that she has changed some things around for her own convenience, but really! So many of the characters were really not plausible and very one dimensional and situations just plain unbelievable. Jane Seymour having an torrid affair with a workman really was beyond the pale - I was disappointed that Erickson didn't come up with an explanation for Jane to make to Henry regarding her loss of virginity. One of the silliest books I have read!

Good use of language
Character not believable (2 more)
Strange setting
Try hard
Hmmm....
This was not the book for me unfortunately. I found the main character Flavia very unbelievable. She was wise beyond her years and seemed to flirt with older men at the age of 12. I felt like this tried to mirror some of Arthur Conan Doyle's writing but just really missed the mark (for me). The plot was quite obvious aswell. Surprised that it has some considerable accolades.
