So after finally getting round to watching Once Upon a Time a couple of nights ago, I present my ranking of Quentin Tarantino movies from my favourite to least favourite.

Note that all of these movies are 8/10 or above for me (and I've counted Kill Bill as one film)

1. Inglorious Basterds
2. Pulp Fiction
3. The Hateful Eight
4. Django Unchained
5. Jackie Brown
6. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
7. Reservoir Dogs
8. Kill Bill
9. Death Proof

How about everyone else??

I would agree at least 8 out of 10 or above.

Mine would be similar although it has been a while since I have seen Jackie Brown or Reservoir Dogs. Also, need to watch Once Upon A Time again so I have more of the details. I felt like it ran past quickly at times.

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Inglorious Basterds
3. Django Unchained
4. Kill Bill
5. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
6. Jackie Brown
7. Hateful Eight
8. Reservoir Dogs
9. Death Proof

A Star is Dead
Pet therapist Caro Lamont is working with the stars and dogs who are part of the Barking with the Stars fundraiser, which is raising money for an organization that provides service dogs to soldiers who have returned from war. The biggest celebrity is Purple, an internationally famous pop star. But a few days before the big event, Purple is found dead. The police suspect foul play and are looking at Caro’s ex-husband. Geoffrey is many things, but a killer is one of them, right?

This series is always fun, and this book is no exception. The plot moves forward well, and Caro keeps digging until she puts things together in the end. I did feel like one plot point got forgotten as the book went forward, but that is a minor complaint. The characters are great. Caro and a few others seem very real, but the rest can be eccentric. They work in the series and provide some fun laughs, especially Betty. The series storylines advance as well, and I enjoyed getting those updates. This is another fun entry in a very fun series.

There have been a few things set in Pripyat, the abandoned town where the workers of the Chernobyl power plant used to live and almost all of them rely on dogs as a big/main threat. After a slow start 'The Chernobyl Diaries' looked like it was going to follow this pattern, however, the dogs soon give away to a bigger but mostly unseen threat.
I found that the film was predictable in parts both in the action and in some of the scenery used, you know that something was going to happen to the van, you can work out who is going to go missing and anyone who knows anything about Pripyat knows there will be at least one scene with the ferris wheel. However there are still plenty of good jump scares and the fact that we never get a clear view of the killers (although one did remind me of the 'Toxic Avenger')
All in all the 'Chernobyl Diaries' is a slightly above average slasher in the vain of 'The Hills Have Eyes' and 'Wrong Turn' with some creepy moments, not to much gore and a plausible set up.

I had heard a little about this book before I saw that it was being made into a movie. The concept seemed cute and was definitely a good read. I was not prepared for the amount of sadness that I would have while reading and every time Cameron described the aging of the dogs, I found myself petting mine and holding her closer. Well written and easily embraces the view point of a dog from beginning to end and back again. I think all dog lovers should read this but have a tissue handy.

I liked John Wick chapter 3 for the action. However, I'll say that a few of the action sequences were drawn out a bit longer than necessary. The plot was simple, so it didn't get lost in between the fights. I didn't love Halle Berry's part, but loved the dogs, and the part that they played, eventually linking the two characters together, even if it was for a short period of time. I was honestly getting a little bored with the last major fight sequence, but I did really enjoy the ending!
