Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Robin Hood (Disney) (1973) in Movies
Jan 1, 2020
The Legend
Robin Hood- rewatching this movie, i loved it. I love the charcters, the plot, the music, everything about it i love it. The action, the comedy, the adventure, the suspense, the thrills, so excellent, so great.
The Plot: An amiable rooster called Alan-a-Dale (Roger Miller) tells stories and sings songs of the heroic Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) and his trusty sidekick, Little John (Phil Harris), in this animated animal-themed adaptation of the legendary story. When evil Prince John (Peter Ustinov) deputizes the Sheriff of Nottingham (Pat Buttram) to collect unreasonable taxes from the animals of Sherwood Forest, Robin, Little John and the other merry men wage a lighthearted battle against their evil foes.
Such a classic, if you havent watch it, then go and watch it.

BookwormLea (3034 KP) rated Isle of Dogs (2018) in Movies
Jul 16, 2019 (Updated Jul 16, 2019)
Strange but so very fantastic!
Contains spoilers, click to show
I had been waiting a very long time to see this since nobody I knew would watch it with me... I'm a big fan of stop motion movies but apparently nobody else is?? Finally, Netflix added it and I must have seen it about 20 times since then.... the whole movie is so strange but I can't get enough! The casting is fantastic! Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum and Brian Cranston? Genius! They definitely added to the movies feel and made it a better watch but the plot is just so great! City that doesn't allow dogs so they get dumped. Boy goes to find his dog on island. Epic journey to save his best friend. New friends along the way and a possible love interest... spectacular!

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Adverse (2020) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 2, 2021)
Brian A. Metcalf certainly has a look to his films and that goes for the direction as well, I really enjoy his style of shooting and what he brings out of the cast and in particular, when Metcalf and Nicholas work together in productions they produce something worth watching and Adverse is no exception. There are some great moments from cinematographer Derrick Cohan, look out for a scene on the rooftop at night it looks fantastic.
Adverse is a film that has some excellent surprises throughout the film, it can be emotional at times with some of the flashbacks and brutal at others with some of the action sequences that aren’t afraid to throw some of the red stuff about. This is certainly a film worth checking out.

Jesters_folly (230 KP) rated Furious 7 (2015) in Movies
Jun 21, 2021
5 years after Fast and Furious 6 and following on from Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift (F&F 3), Hobbs, Dom and his family find themselves under attack from a new enemy. Deckard Shaw, brother of Owen Shaw (from Fast and Furious 6) is out for revenge and Dom and co need to find him before he finds them, unfortunately the only way to do this is to is to rescue the inventor of a of top spy device.
Fast and Furious 7 takes the team into the realms of James Bond as they team up with a shadow ops team and, to match the ramped up story line the action is bigger with more guns, missiles and fist fights but less street racing.
Unlike most of the other films there is no set up for a sequel, due to the fact that Paul Walker, the actor who plays Brian O'Conner died during the making of it so the film end on a high note , giving Brian a good, Happy ending.
Even though we are now on the 7th film about car racing I can say that the franchise is still entertaining. Even though the same characters are in most of the films they manage to keep entertaining and don't feel like the same thing being done over and over, part of this is due to the increasingly over the top action and storylines and the fact that, at least some of the characters have growth through out the franchise.
Furious 7 is bigger and louder than the previous films, not only with the fights and chases but also with the stunts and still delivers what you would expect so if you liked the others then you can't go wrong with this.

The Marinated Meeple (1848 KP) rated Azul in Tabletop Games

Beautiful tiles and boards (1 more)
Semi simple abstract premise
Amazing abstract game with beautiful tiles
I tried this two player with my friend Brian the other day. It played quickly in about a 1/2 hour. I played very poorly and yet still loved it. He described the rules very well and yet I still didn’t grasp it until after I’d played two rounds. Now I feel dumb for not getting it. It is not easy but is still elegant. It makes my brain work in a completely different was from other board game. Which is what I love about BoardGames. There is so much subtle strategy in this game. Not just which tiles to take but when and which row to put them in and not painting yourself into corners. I see why it’s likely to win game of the year this year.

Becs (244 KP) rated You Are Not Here in Books
Oct 25, 2018 (Updated Oct 25, 2018)
A startling novel about love and grief.
A breathtaking novel that will allow you to experience love and grief altogether.
I have only ever read a novel like You Are Not Here one other time. This is a novel yet in poetry form and I loved every second of it. I felt like I was Annaleah, living with the grief of losing a boyfriend right alongside her. I shed a few tears as parts were just heartbreaking and I laughed at others that were meant to be funny. This little novel is definitely one that I will be holding quite dear for the rest of my life and I can imagine myself reading it when I lost someone as dear to me as Brian was to Annaleah.
