Ross (3284 KP) rated Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys in Music
Jul 8, 2020
Rolling Stone's 2nd greatest album of all time
Fantastic album, and one I have spent a lot of time listening to. Indeed, on this listen I immediately went back and listened to it again. From the sublime Wouldn't It Be Nice, to the sombre Don't Talk and the story of Sloop John B and the uplifting I Know There's an Answer (or as I prefer, the Hang on to Your Ego version). Every song is a singalong classic and I would encourage everyone to give this a few listens.

Lenard (726 KP) rated Mr. Soul! (2020) in Movies

The documentary itself is straightforward and takes you on a fantastic journey through the five year period that the show was on the air. It also explains how the show was cancelled. The film does leave one with the question what if Soul! had had a 20-year-run instead of a five. I believe that the Black experience would have turned out quite different. Some artists would not exist. Had poets, artists, musicians, and dancers had the platform, more Black artists would exist and more genres would have opened.

What a fantastic book!
I Loved Jody Hedlund's take on this classic fairytale. It was beautifully done, and really was not that similar to the original story which I enjoyed as the original is not my favorite. Both main characters were detailed and well laid out, with fun and interesting twists that kept me engaged. Highly recommend read this one if you like stories of love, hope, and finding who you are.

Rebecca Billcliff (2409 KP) rated Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020) in Movies
May 22, 2021
Eurotastic!!!!
Whether you love The Eurovision Song Contest or not, this is a great film.
There are lots of little extras and cameos, that only the song contest fans will get, but they are magical when they happen.
The comedic performances of Will Ferrell and Rachael McAdams are both fantastic and the story is farfetched, but magical.
This film is best enjoyed with a whimsical mind set, I mean, they don't take themselves too seriously, so you should not either.
Watch it now, thank me later.
