Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Worlds Collide (The Land of Stories, #6) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
I hate that this is the last book in the series. The entire series is so well written & so easy to lose yourself in! The last installment was no exception. This series is a marvelous addition to the world of middle grades books. Chris Colfer is an amazingly talented human being! I for one sure hope he writes more books!

Bonkers, fast paced and very colourful actionfest, Bruce Willis is at his peak here as the cab driver tasked with protecting the titular fifth element although he is completely unaware of it, Gary Oldman produces an out of this world performance as the thoroughly unlikable Zorg, but it's Chris Tucker's over the top Rhuby Rhod that almost ruins a good movie.

Ah Thor. One of the movies that opened the MCU. This is by no means a perfect movie. It was actually a little hard to overlook its flaws this time. However, I still love this movie. It's so pure and good. And Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston killed in their roles! Not the perfect movie, but I love it all the same.

I'm sorry for the 2 star rating. Unfortunately, reading from Chris' POV was pretty boring. I like that I was able to get a glimpse into how he felt and the way his feelings for Lauren slowly turned into something more, but I felt like I was trudging through the story. There were many times when I found myself skimming through certain scenes.

When the Lights Go Out is not just about climate change and the disaster that we seem to be hurtling towards. It’s also about a marriage: Emma and Chris’ marriage. I seem to be having a really good run with books lately. This is a book where not overly much happens on the surface, but it’s packed full of action if you look at the way that it’s scrutinising Emma and Chris’ marriage. These are two people who have a lot going on. They have both been pushed to their limits, and whilst Emma seems to be dealing with the changes in her life, Chris is really struggling. He is constantly plagued by thoughts of ‘worst case scenarios’. He stockpiles food and fuel in the garage, he buys fish antibiotics just in case the human version is unobtainable. And he tests his family’s resourcefulness by turning off the electricity in their home to make sure they can cope - and leads them to believe it’s a power cut. Chris is unhappy. Work is very slow - no one needs a gardener if it rains non-stop and the garden is submerged, or if it gets so hot that nothing survives to tend to. Money is tight since Emma lost her job when the library where she worked closed, and she works part time in a school, supplementing her income with her craft work.
Everything comes to a dramatic head on Christmas Eve - and I don’t think I was capable of breathing properly for the last couple of chapters.
This sounds like a morose, depressing read, but it really wasn’t. There are some really quite funny bits interspersed with the more serious aspects - I thought it was really well balanced, and I loved reading it.

Stop The Runaway Train Before Its Too Late
I have seen this movie about 6-7 times now. Each time i watch it, its a good time. The action, the drama and the suspense. Both Denzel and Chris do a excellent job in ths film which is inspired by true events.
The plot: When a massive, unmanned locomotive roars out of control, the threat is more ominous than just a derailment. The train is laden with toxic chemicals, and an accident would decimate human life and cause an environmental disaster. The only hope of bringing the train to a safe stop is in the hands of a veteran engineer (Denzel Washington) and a young conductor (Chris Pine), who must risk their lives to save those in the runaway's path. Inspired by true events.
Its a good movie.

This was my favorite film from 2016. Chris Pine and Ben Foster did an amazing job with their characters. This movie depicted West Texas very well, it wasn't filmed in Texas, but Eastern NM and West TX look exactly the same. One of the only things I didn't like was Jeff Bridges, who was acting like Jeff Bridges; exactly the same in nearly every movie recently.

Around ten minutes into this movie, I found myself thinking, surely, they could have hired someone other than Tom Cruise for this character. The main character should been played by an actor who does the 'lovable douche' character well, i.e. Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, etc. It was fairly boring, they could have done so many things with this movie, but it was just meh.
