Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated The Forever Purge (2021) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 2, 2021)
I have to say that The Forever Purge certainly keeps to the flow of the franchise, I did find it a little uneasy at times with its portrayal of how some people in society hate others for the colour of their skin, the country they are from and other ways that people can easily be so evil to fellow humans, but this is the idea of the film and getting that across works very well.

good start for a first time author
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
I'm a bit in two minds about this book, and I can't figure out why but I'll try.
It's a Nice book. I know I hate using that word but it's the best I can come up with! It has drama, passion, love, hate, lots of different emotions with just enough of each to not be overpowering.
I will say this, only Harper has a say. In the first person AND present tense. And it took me til way past halfway to figure out it was present tense, so well done to Fox for making me NOT see something that might have made me dump it!
I did need to hear from Easton though. I think he would have had a lot to say, especially about what he's dealing with, with his sisters and his nutty ex.
And I found out after I'd read this, that this is a first time author! So very well done to Fox for this book, even if it wasn't quite my cuppa tea.
I enjoyed it, it didn't quite push any buttons for me, BUT! I would like to read the next one, just to see how Fox' skill is growing. And Easton's sister really could be an interesting character!
3 GOOD solid stars

Rating: -2
I listened to the first three tracks of this book, and can honestly tell you I have no idea what was going on. It was two different stories flashing from one to another, and they didn't seem related at all. One was interesting, the other felt like I was doing math homework. On top of that, the reader sounded like he was reading something very exciting, when he was really just describing the length of someone's tie or the type of knot they used to tie their shoelaces.
Suffice to say, I quit. I sincerely apologize, but I can't recommend this book. I can't even tell you a content or age recommendation because I wanted to die twenty minutes after starting.

Wide variety (2 more)
Easy to use.. If my mom can figure it out any one can
I get my money's worth
Needs to really update it's movie selection (2 more)
Keeps deleting good stuff
Need more content that can be downloaded
It's Netflix
I really don't know how much I can say about Netflix because it is Netflix.
Any place where I can literally watch 6 years of TV in a matter of a few days I'm going to like it and when it comes to TV Netflix really does have the best Variety in my opinion but their movie selection over the past few years has really gone down but even then I can't see myself getting rid of my subscription.
When it comes to Netflix original content they're kind of all over the place on what to actually expect, their movies for the most part aren't the best but there are a few really good gems mixed in but when it comes to their TV shows it seems like they're going to make a show out of basically any idea you shoot at them whether it's good, bad or is just plain dumb.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Suicide Squad (2016) in Movies
Aug 24, 2017
What can I say about Suicide Squad? To be nice, the soundtrack was great and Margot Robbie did a good job with Harley. I cannot understand why the relationship between Joker and Harley is always romanticized, because it's definitely not romantic. The plot was rushed and discombobulated, and they underutilized characters. Why did they killed off Slipknot five minutes after introducing him? Why even waste the time introducing him? I personally can't stand Jared Leto as an actor, but I understood where they were going with the new Joker. But, in comparison to Heath Ledger, he was trash.

The third novel in this series but can be read as a standalone, Lord of Night was a lovely read. I adore historical romances and I particularly enjoyed that the hero of this story wasn't a duke (or something similar...)
I don't have much to say about this book other than I enjoyed it. They characters felt more dynamic than the cut and paste characters you read in other historical romances. The H/h had a sweet slow romance the naturally developed over times. It was a pleasure to read with a HEA that will leave the ready content.

Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Frostbitten (Women of the Otherworld, #10) in Books
Mar 1, 2018
What's better than a series you can rely on to provide solid plots with intriguing twists spiced by the occasional sexy romps? All that with ongoing character development! I love seeing the growth Elena is making, and the way her relationship with Clay deepens and matures over time. I can't think of much to say without giving away too much to those familiar with the series. I doubt this is the best place for readers new to Women of the Otherworld to start, simply because they wouldn't get the full effect of the continuity, but they wouldn't be lost, either. I loved it!

Fanominal
Okay so walking into the theater I wasn't sure what to express due to the fact of the past two films not being that great but I personally loved this it was action packed adventure and suspense filled I say two thumbs up but remember that it's PG-13 for a reason so if nonstop action sounds like a problem then you may want to take the kids to another movie however if they really wanna see it and they can handle action then I highly recommend it
David McK (3550 KP) rated Fight Club (1999) in Movies
Feb 26, 2024
The first rule of Fight Club is ...
... you didn't talk about Fight Club.
That's virtually all my beforehand knowledge of this movie, which it's only taken me (roughly) 25 years to get around to watching.
And I wish I hadn't bothered: that's slightly over 2 hours of my life (that felt like 25+ years) that I'll never get back again ...
Bleak, depressing, and with an incredibly obvious 'twist' telegraphed virtually from the get-go, I found little to recommend in this, and even less to enjoy.
One to avoid.
(And at least I can now say I've seen it ...)

Jessica - Where the Book Ends (15 KP) rated All of It in Books
Jan 30, 2019
LOVED THIS BOOK!! I couldn't get enough of Ronnie and Dimitri. I felt like I connected more with Ronnie that any other character. I loved the fact that she always came across so normal to me. She had your normal teenage trials and tribulations, but she wasn't whiny about it. Dimitri, well, all I can really say is SWOON! He is an amazing character, he's fun, sweet, sexy, and you can tell he really loves Ronnie.
The end is great and oh the feelings! This story is so original, I truly loved it. I'm not giving anything away! You must read to find out!
Kim Holden is a new author, and her eye for story telling is amazing! I can't wait to read more from this new author. She has a great eye for description which brings her characters and setting to life! I can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve next.
