Dean (6927 KP) rated The Dark Knight Rises (2012) in Movies
Feb 3, 2018
A brilliant film and great ending....for now at least to this trilogy. Dark, gritty and brutal it doesn't feel like a comic book action hero film. It's more a harsh crime thriller! I thought Anne Hathaway was well cast as Catwoman as is Tom Hardy as Bane. The only problem I had was understanding everything Bane said through his face mask, at times the voice doesn't seem to match the villain? Only small minor gripes though, still I have to add The Dark Knight is still my favourite of the 3 with this a close second.
Dean (6927 KP) rated WALL-E (2008) in Movies
Feb 3, 2018
A brilliant film in so many ways!! It is so simple with barely any dialogue, but it doesn't need it you can tell what is going on by the actions and expressions can say more than a thousands words with a film like this. It's cute, funny and smart and carries a message about the environment. Technically the level of detail in the animation is amazing and set new standards for all animations. There are slight influences from Short circuit in the design of Wall-e and 2001: A Space Odyssey as well later in the film. Do not miss this film!!
GailP (1 KP) rated Spotify Music in Apps
Feb 3, 2018
This is a brilliant music station, where you can compile your own music list, and save it, you can then play your choice of songs whenever you want to, for free, and just keep adding to your list. There are hundreds of choices, you just type in the singer or the name of the song ans Spotify brings up a long list of choices for that title for you to choose from

Unputdownable
This is the first book in a six part series, following the lives of several key characters in a South London community, from the outset of WW2 to VE Day. The novels just get stronger and stronger and the action moves into the European conflict too. The characters are really well drawn, the women are strong, there ls humour, romance, action, pathos and Just purely compelling storylines. Recommended for any reader who likes a brilliant ongoing series. I’ve loved all the books thus far. Last one comes out in April 2018. Hope others will enjoy too.
Dean (6927 KP) rated The Hitcher (2007) in Movies

Good remake
This is a brilliant if simple thriller/horror film! I was surprised I liked it so much, favours well compared to the original and much better than The Hitcher 2 which no doubt passed many by, just as well. This is very similar to the original with the general plot and "key" scenes still in it. Sophia Bush is great in this and Sean Bean does make a a good viillain. Very violent and bloody to go with it! If you thought this would be a poor comparison to the cult original then I suggest you check it out.

An appreciated recommendation
I was told to watch this by someone one reddit, I didn't really know what I was expecting. At first I thought the acting was slightly poor and felt uneasy from the beginning but couldn't figure out way. As the movie went on things really escalated and by the end of it I was quite honestly blown away with it. I'm still not exactly sure of what happened, I may be over thinking it or missing something important. But it was a brilliant film, not for the faint hearted but not your typical gory, bloody horror.
Alice (12 KP) rated How to be Champion in Books
Jul 3, 2018
A cracking good book. I'm not one for autobiographies much but I needed a break from my usual genre and <i>How To be Champion </i> was the perfect book to choose. It was funny, witty and full of no fucks.
I found myself laughing so much during the read of this book and I thought Sarah's ability to take the piss out of herself while not giving a rats arse was brilliant. We need more people who can do that - people who are so unbothered by other people's opinions.
Hats off to you Sarah. Champion book.

I couldn’t put this book down. From the first page I was captivated. Bought it to take on holiday and had finished it by the morning of the second day. Everything about this book was interesting and entertaining.
It kept you guessing about who some characters were in terms of their Norse gods but that was just part of the fun of it. Brilliant twist at the end that I didn’t see coming until just before.
Shadow’s character kept you wanting more for him, and kept you hoping things would work out in his favour. Can’t wait to pick up the sequel!

The Roth Homestead (32 KP) rated The Wife Between Us in Books
Aug 21, 2018
The cover of the book is what caught my eye first. It was dark with that popping yellow title.
I started reading it and I couldn't put it down. You think you are starting to figure out what's going on but then it takes a sharp turn. If you don't pay close attention, you could be confused, however, I think that's a brilliant thing to do because it'll keep the reader wanting more.
I definitely look forward to finding more books by these authors, it's very well written. I'm definitely recommending this book to friends and family!

Hey all!!
Now I have to say that I did love this book. The characters go through a lot together and the growth that you see through them is great to see as well. The only slight dislike that I had was that the pace of the book was very fast.
I feel that there needed to be a clearer line of when it was the next night. I also feel there needed to be a little bit more filler.
Other than that it was brilliant and I will be reading the next ones!!!
