Rob Fuller (19 KP) rated Boston Legal - Season 5 in TV

Flawless
As with the previous 4 seasons - This show doesn't need a long review - it's too perfect. Too funny. Too clever. the chemistry between James Spader and William Shatner as Alan and Denny respectively draws you in and makes you wish they were your buddies, that you could hang out with them on the penthouse office balcony, talking philosophically about life with a cigar in one hand and a fine scotch whiskey in the other. The cast is superb and the writing brilliant...Thank you David E Kelly et al.

Giant Thomas the tank engine
Alot better than expected
Wasn't expecting to enjoy the film as much as i did. Comedy and fight scenes were brilliant. The scenes of a small nature made the film even better. It was obvious who the bad guy was to be in the film but how they portrayed him was very poor, kinda your basic old school villain, not what the film needed. Then there was the big Thomas..... loved it lol

Long Night Moon (Seasons of the Moon #3) by S.M. Reine
This series just keeps getting better and better. SM Reine certainly knows how to keep the tension going throughout the story. In this book, more characters are introduced and interact with our main characters. The suspense builds and is there until the last page. There are not many YA books that make me well up but this one did (I shan't say why!)
Absolutely brilliant. On to book 4 now!

Sarah (7800 KP) rated Sully (2016) in Movies
Aug 14, 2017
You can't really go wrong with Tom Hanks - has that man ever made a bad film? Sully is no exception either. I knew little about the aftermath of the crash or the reason for it, so I was grateful the film covered this. It has a brilliant lead in Tom Hanks with a great supporting cast too. The effects are very good and overall this is a very interesting and enthralling film. My only issue would be that the story has been dragged out longer than it should've been with a few potentially unnecessary scenes.

The most insane, ridiculous and hilarious book you'll read
Wow. Just wow. Reading this book will make you feel quite queer at the same time laugh your head off. It's not every day an African American author uses satire to recommend bringing back segregation and slavery. It is absolutely hilarious and a little bit borderline disturbing. Dickens is a ghetto in disrepair, and the narrator's idea of renovating the town and 'putting it on the map' is to change it sociologically. With insane consequences. Brilliant book, well deserved of the Man Booker Prize 2016.

Great cast (1 more)
Very good action scenes
Cops and Robbers
A brilliant cops and robbers film, the best of its genre since @Heat (1995) in my eyes. Also quite similar to @The Departed (2006) so if you like those two, who doesn't? You'll want to see this. Based on an award winning book for crime writing "Prince of Thieves". This has great action, a fine cast, interesting story, the whole thing oozes class. Ben Affleck directs and does a great job. Very enjoyable check it out!
Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Aurora in Books
Apr 27, 2018
I didn't finish this book because there was no plot. The first hour and a half of the book, I was still just barely understanding the world. And if the first hour and a half is just character development and world building, I’m sorry, but you’re not a story teller, you’re a world builder. It was a brilliant world, don’t get me wrong. But the only thing that happened in the first hour and a half was she got ice cream and then went outside, saw some boys, and went back inside.
Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Caillou Loves His Mommy in Books
Apr 10, 2018
This book is bright and colourful and the illustrations are really attractive to a younger reader. Caillou wants his Mommy’s attention and tries several different ways until the game of hide and seek begins. Many of the actions will be familiar to any youngster allowing them to empathise with the character of Caillou. My 4 1/2 year old advanced reader read this to me without issue and found it a “brilliant book because there are just the right number of words in it. I really liked the song from Mommy”.

A clever Story
This is another of the horror films to come out of Indonesia and its worth a watch. I thought that the story was clever and the characters believable. The suspense was there throughout and once again like most of these filme there were some clever plot twists. If you like your horror that is not all hollywood glitz and glamour then you will enjoy this. Quite gory in places and graphic too. I thought it was worth watching and rating :)
Rose-Marie3071 (67 KP) rated Shadowhunters - The Mortal Instruments in TV
Feb 26, 2019
Shadowhunters is a brilliant series that is based off of Cassandra Clare's: Mortal Instruments.
Despite the series deviation from the books around the time of Jonathan Morganstern's introduction, the series manage to maintain a great story.
The biggest disappointment was when they announced the cancellation of the series after the ending of season 3 where Clary was thought to have died. While I am upset that they are only making an extra 2 episodes to finish off the series, I am glad as well, as it should leave it with a more rounded ending.
