Fran Donohoe (856 KP) rated Atomic Blonde (2017) in Movies

Should be atomic bomb
What can I say ,this was suppose to set Charlie theron as a action hero but fell way off the mark, the story is confusing at best action sequences are over choreographed ,having said that it has a brilliant 80's soundtrack with lesser known songs from that time and a great support cast including James mcavoy,john goodman and toby Jones
Paul (106 KP) rated Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story (2019) in Movies
May 21, 2019
Excellent documentary funny, heartfelt but honest.
I can truely say this was an excellent documentary regarding a talent that was genius. Tells of young Chris and how he adapted his way of thinking to create the great Frank Sidebottom and the internal conflict it created within the artist.
Its funny, moving and doesn't paint Mr Sievy to be an angel. It's a must watch for any fans of comedy.

Requires PS move controllers
VR at its finest
What can I say about this quietly released VR game during a crazy time like this? Well if you were hoping for zombies during this virus outbreak, its here! In VR form at least.
This game has a strange intensity surrounding it the whole time your inside the game. With "walkers" coming at you, people to fight or help and scavenging everything you need to survive, this game packs a punch and certainly delivers a VR game someone can be proud of.
With so many games lacking the length and replay ability, Saints and Sinners looks to keep you hooked as there are so many things to unlock in order to stay alive. Having only scratched the surface if ths game so far, i look forward to revisiting a devestated New Orleans as much as i can. If you love action and horror, and are also a fan of VR then this is the game yoi have been waiting for.

Echo Falls (Echo Falls #1) by Jaime McDougall
I got this for two reasons - 1) it was free and 2) I like paranormal romance. I can quite honestly say that I'm very glad that I did and have sat down and read it in a couple of hours as I wanted to find out what happened!
I loved the storyline in it and even though I knew who the "traitor" was, it in no way diminished my enjoyment of the story as a whole. I loved how Phoebe's story was told throughout the book and how Aidan was trying to get information from her. The secondary characters in this book are also believable and funny. It also makes a very refreshing change to have the main female as scared, unsure and carrying physical scars without being a complete wuss.
Loved reading it and will definitely be keeping it!
Favourite character? Definitely Aiden!

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Can't Stand the Heat (Recipe for Love #1) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I had such high hopes for this book. The only nice thing I have to say about this books is that at least Louisa Edwards can write a realistic storyline. Unfortunately, it was a story I was completely uninterested in. I was intrigued because I always have a thing for romance novels involving kitchens and cooks. That is why I asked for the book in the first place.
Yes, the characters were realistic not only in their behaviors and dialogues, but also in their interaction with each other. Yes, the storyline was also believable, with plenty of the usually deceit, secrets, and embarrassing moments that come with romances novels. But that was just it, I felt like I was reading just another romance. Nothing about this novel seemed special, unique, or stuck out in my mind.
Well written, with realistic characters and plot, but nothing special. I will not be reading the other two in the series.

Michelle Smith (41 KP) rated Blood Fury: Black Dagger Legacy in Books

Contains spoilers, click to show
I really enjoyed Blood Fury and I didn't expect to. Mainly, because I didn't care much for Saxton in the past and I didn't really have much of an opinion on Peyton and Novo. Having now read it, I can honestly say that I loved the romance between Saxton and Ruhn. I did not see that coming! And their involvement with the human developers was a great story.
My heart broke for Novo. With her past and her awful family, it's not surprising she's as tough as she is, and I'm glad that someone was able to make her love again and help her move on and I'm glad that that someone was Peyton- if only because it meant that he'd stop obsessing over the rather dull Paradise.

Debbiereadsbook (1798 KP) rated To Save a Scroundrels' Soul (Regency Rossingley #4) in Books

only Mickey gets a say!
Independent reviewer for GRR, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 4 in the Regency Rossingley series, and it can be read as a stand alone. I do, on a personal point, recommend you read the other books first. It will give you a better picture of this group of men and how they fit into the world of their time. Rather good, the lot of them!
Mickey is Tommy's cousin (from book 2, madly in love with the current Duke of Ashington) He has a similar past to Tommy. When the Duke discovers some jewelry thought lost in the hands of a adversary, it's all hand son deck to get them back. But someone else is after something from that safe, a Frenchman, Valentin Beauregard. Mickey is tasked with getting him on side, keeping an eye on him and generally getting him to not steal the jewels. Falling in love was never on the cards.
I love this series, overall, I really do. One teeny tiny niggle with this one, and I'll come back to that!
I loved how everything crept up on Mickey. Valentin was not what he expected. The chemistry between them was powerful from the start and neither could resist, even though they both knew the other was keeping secrets.
I got who Valentin was, as soon as he told Mickey about his (un-named) father and what happened to him. The clues were there, and for once I put them together correctly, and in time!
It's not explicit. The passion and growing love is there, but the smexy times are well written to portray the words and feelings of men in this time.
My niggle? Only Mickey has a say. Now, I checked my reviews for the other books, and I don't say either way but they are tagged as multi person POV, so I will assume that both main characters get a say in those books. Why not this one? I don't know. Maybe because of the secrets Valentin is keeping, I'm not sure. But had he a say, this would be that 5 star read, just like books 2 and 3.
It was lovely that ALL the main characters from previous books take part: Lando (Rossingley) and Kit from book 1, Tommy and Benedict from book 2 and Rollo and Fitzsimmons from book 3. I hope that Mickey and Valentin pop up in future books. Will there be any more? I dunno, but I hope to be able to read them!
Only because Mickey gets a say and Valentin doesn't. . .
4 very good stars.
