A brilliant Discworld Book
This is a brilliant Discworld book written in typical Pratchett style. Death is a fantastic character, always one of my favourites, and this is full of humour relating to him. It's always good when a book can make you laugh out loud.
My only criticisms would be that Princess Keli is a slightly irritating character and the book itself just didn't seem long enough - I wanted more!
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dip their toes into the Discworld waters.

Olivia Wilde is brilliant in this raw tale of domestic violence.
Olivia Wilde is brilliant in this raw and unapologetically in your face story of domestic violence. Love how the plot not only progresses but the movie never shies away from the horror that these men, women, and children face on a daily basis. Grips from the opening scene, builds and doesn't let up until the final act. A film that proves you don't need a big budget or a big name studio to produce a quality film with a message.

Dusty (12 KP) rated a video of Galactica 1980 in TV

Aug 16, 2018

Thought this was brilliant untill I saw Star Wars. Thought the story was really good and thought it was up with Star Trek. As you probably can tell by now I was a sci-fi geek lol. But I was into this in a big way liked the way it followed them to earth. (1 more)
And then followed them around for a bit. And the new Battlestar Galactica where brilliant from beginning to end I have them in my collection and pull them out every once in a while
Loved this when I was a kid

A good clever story
I gave this film a 7 as i really enjoyed it. It was a good sci-fi, fantasy film with the right amount of horror and suspense. The cast which was almost entirely female were excellent and other than the brilliant Jennifer Jason Leigh and the equally brilliant Natalie Portman i though the supporting cast were excellent too. I wont give too much away other than to say its a good if somewhat slow build up. Definitely glad i watched it. :)

Roger Corman recommended Citizen Kane (1941) in Movies (curated)

 
Citizen Kane (1941)
Citizen Kane (1941)
1941 | Classics, Drama, Mystery

"Citizen Kane: So many people would pick that and there isn’t much I could say about it. The photography is extremely good. He was using a lot of low angles, he was using covered sets; and at that time, and still, very few art directors will put a ceiling on a set because it makes it very difficult to light, but he gave it a great feeling of realism. Also, it was a brilliant script. It’s well directed, well acted — Welles himself is brilliant as Kane — and it really stems from the script."

Cee-Lo Green recommended Thriller by Michael Jackson in Music (curated)

 
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Thriller by Michael Jackson
1982 | Rock

"That record, and that image, and that video... it was powerful because I was afraid of it. More than just a regular horror movie, because at some point, logic will kick in. 'Freddy Kruger's not real'. But Michael Jackson is real, you know what I'm saying? I don't think it can be denied how brilliant he was. Michael Jackson was one of the most obviously brilliant things I've ever seen. Off The Wall was just as good as Thriller, if not better; it's the iconic image of Thriller that makes it so good."

Great story

I personally didn't know the story of Jeremy Camp but this was a beautiful film. The main stars Britt Robertson and K J Apa were brilliant, I truely feel there investment into the roles and I was hooked from the get go.

Such a beautiful story, very sad but once you know the main premise its no surprise really. I would thoroughly recommend watching this but bring the tissues.

Faith/Christianity is a key part but not over-bearing.

The writing of this is just sublime, brilliant.
The cast is perfect, the atmosphere enthralling and the intelligence of the plot makes this a must watch.
Awesome TV show, simple as that.

This film can not be beat (in terms of the franchise). It is the original and it is the best. I grew up watching this film and it holds a special place in my heart. Brilliant!

I finished this brilliant show in one sitting.
It started off a little slow but before I knew it I had been sucked in.
Full atrention required otherwise you will get lost.
Much better with subtitles rather than dubbed
