Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
Back in 2013, Pacific Rim blew me away with the action of the Jaeger and the Kaiju kicking each other’s butts on the big screen in 3D, now 5 years later, the latest in the franchise, Pacific Rim Uprising brings us forward ten years after the events of the first film.
The Kaiju return with a new deadly threat that reignites the conflict between these otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and Jaegers, the human-piloted super-machines that were built to vanquish them.
The thing that really grabbed my attention in the first film was the Jaegers and in Pacific Rim Uprising the Jaegers have had an upgrade, but it’s not just them, the Kaiju have also advanced in order to create even more onscreen battles that certainly grab the attention.

EmersonRose (320 KP) rated Running Plain Sight & Other Stories in Books
Nov 20, 2019
Running in Plain Sight is a collection of short stories by author Charles Butts. The book is named after the first story in the collection. The first story tells the life story of Leander Sills JR. When he was ten years old tragedy struck, and he was forced to go on the run. The story gives glimpses into the rest of his life as he deals with hardship, kindness, and forgiveness. These are themes that are carried over into the other three stories: If All Minds Are Clear, Home Follows, and A Balanced Imbalance. Each is centered on the life of a man who is struggling with his own mistakes or the mistakes of others but grows and finds peace in life. Beginning with Running in Pain Sight was an excellent choice for the first story in the collection because not only does it do a wonderful job of setting the themes in the collection, but that story, in particular, has an incredibly strong and powerful hook from the very beginning.
What I found most captivating about each of these stories were the characters. Both the main characters and the characters around them are flawed people, otherwise known as real people. No one is perfect in these stories, but that makes them easier to be sympatric to. What makes them strong characters is that they take responsibility for their actions. Even though the short stories really only give us glimpses into the lives of the characters that live within them, their flaws and character growth make them deeply developed characters.
Charles R. Butts Jr. published this collection in 2017 and published his first book, For Only A Season in 2016. These stories are quick reads but beautiful and powerful stories. Butts’s writing style is easy and often conversational as you are in the heads of the main characters. However, the simplicity makes the voices stronger, and the meaning of the stories shine through. I greatly enjoyed reading these stories and would highly recommend them.
