Movie Rating Watch
The fourth solo outing for Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder (after "Thor", "Thor: The Dark World" and "Thor: Ragnorak") which double downs on the goofiness that Taika Waititi brought to the prevus instalment.

To this films detriment, I felt: the humour felt, at times, forced, with Thor (again, at times) coming across as more of a buffoon than I would prefer.

This also see's the return of Natalie Portman's Jane Foster - last seen in The Dark World, before dumping Thor off-screen - with elements of the plot heavily influenced by the 2014 run of comics that sees her lifting Mjolnir.

Christian Bale is also suitably menacing as Gorr the God Butcher, but is seemingly in a different movie to everyone else! Those shadow creatures are bound to give kids nightmares ...

In short, the scary bits are scarier than in many a previous Marvel movie, whilst the funny bits (attempt to be) funnier than any previous!

Chris Bohjalian has done it again. This is the second book of his that I have read. His books seem to really tug at the heartstrings and make you think, "What would I do in this situation?" It has been two years since Terry and Laura Sheldon have lost their twin girls in a horrendous flood. They both are different people since that instance, but still are trying to get their lives back in order. When Alfred is brought into their lives, you can start to see a change in them both. Laura for the better, but Terry not so much. Not only is Alfred not theirs(he's a foster kid), but he's also black. How will their friends and family adjust to their new child? And how will they? How will Alfred, he's been to so many houses in his past, will this finally be the place he gets to stay? With so many obstacles to overcome, will this family be able to stay together and mend the broken pieces of their lives?
