Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) in Movies

Aug 19, 2017

Offensive and unnecessarily gruesome

As much as I love Indiana Jones, this film was very offensive. Not only did it portray Indians as savages eating monkey brains (although most of India is vegan or vegetarian), it also showed devotees of Kali, the goddess of war, as some kind of death cult - though she killed people like cultists. I really hated this film mostly because it was unnecessarily gory as well. Not a happy bunny.

Movie Rating Watch

A great fun, action, bloody, Grindhouse B-Movie with an all star cast. Not heard much about this, apparently a follow up film from a short trailer from the Death Proof film. So imagine the likes of Sin City, Pulp fiction with a latin feel and tongue in cheek humour firmly in place. A pure fun, entertaining film not to be taken seriously. If you're a fan of Robert Rodriguez's films, you'll like it.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2490 KP) rated Stay At Home Dead (Stay At Home Dad Mystery #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Deuce Winters finds himself a suspect in the death of his high school rival after the man's body is found in his minivan. I enjoyed the characters, especially Deuce and his wife. But I felt the mystery was pretty thin and was annoyed by the author's willful ignoring any sense of time.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2490 KP) rated Death by Pantyhose (A Jaine Austen Mystery, #6) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The sixth Jaine Austen mystery finds Jaine agreeing to write jokes for an unfunny stand-up comic. But before she can get started, the woman is arrested for murder. The weapon, a pair of pantyhose. Definitely for those who love funny mysteries, this one will keep you laughing while you puzzle over the clues.

My absolute favourite book of all time.
A beautifully written debut novel. Stunning prose help to move the story in such a smooth way.
The story is effortless
The characters perfectly developed.
Proof that true love will over come all obstacles, even death. Character development is whole hearted and true, with everyone becoming something so much more than they were.
Best book ever!!!

Deborah (162 KP) rated Jane Austen Out of the Blue in Books

Dec 21, 2018

Even now I've finished it, I'm not entirely sure what to make of this one. It's a sequel of sorts to Sanditon, but includes other Austen characters and even the shade of the author herself, following her death. Nothing happens as you might expect and there's not really a very strong narrative drive through it. On one level I think it serves as a disection of the novel as a literary form. Strange.
