Believable characters

Plot hooks keep you guessing

This is a series that my husband and myself watched and felt genuine sadness when we reached the end of the last season. We knew of the titular characters from both fiction and history, but STARZ managed to bring them to life in a way that we couldn't help but be drawn to. We would find ourselves trying to figure out the next betrayal or surprising good deed, which famous name would make an appearance, and there was no end of drama to keep us enthralled. A most excellent portrayal of swashbuckling pirates on the high seas, bringing a depth to them beyond the known ship battles for treasure that we all know.

Makes me cry

I fell wiped out on the tile singing along and dancing in socks, twice

Can’t stop singing

I really loved the film and I listen to this soundtrack over and over.

The Other Side is an agument I have with myself all the time- stick with mundane safety or shoot for the stars?

I can’t say I’ve ever regretted the times I lit the fuse and took off, but it scares me every time. :P

As far as the haters go-
They can say it all sounds crazy. They can say I lost my mind. I don’t care if they call me crazy, I’ll run away to a world that we designed. ?

The acting

The so called comedy

I don’t understand why people love this

There are some films that are heralded as special within film culture, most of these are deserved but this film is not deserving of the love shown.
Jim Carey is beyond abysmal in this movie, from his vocal delivery to his odd facial expressions, there is no saving grace from him in the movie.

An interesting premise but unfortunately something that could be groundbreaking becomes derived and pointless.

I’m sad I can’t enjoy this movie but unfortunately unless this movie is remade the Truman Show needs to be axed and visit Room 101 for crimes against good films.

David McK (3705 KP) rated Guard Against Dishonour (Hawk & Fisher, #5) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Pretty much the very definition of pulp fiction, this is the kind of story that you tend to forget as soon as you've read it! While also never confirmed within this (or, to the best of my knowledge, in any of the Hawk and Fisher books prior to 'Beyond the Blue Moon'), there are also some very broad hints dropped that these two characters are the same protaganists as in Simon Green's 'Blue Moon Rising' novel.

Essentially, these novels are crime novels with a magical twist - personally, I find done so much better by Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of books featuring the City Watch. That's not to say these should be avoided: just don't go in with too high an expectation and you won't be disappointed!
