Amy Norman (1048 KP) rated Countdown (2019) in Movies
Jun 1, 2021
Ok as far as horror movies go.
It's clearly trying to be the next Final Destination franchise but it wasn't intelligent enough, or the opposite end of the scale, 'hammy' enough to be funny.
There is a lost era of films like Final Destination or The Faculty that modern horror films just can't seem to emulate.

Dave Gibbons recommended Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) in Movies (curated)
Authors have always been told “write what you know”, but as far as I can tell, this is a rule that Mr. Burnett has shunned totally. Had it resulted in an unsuccessful novel, that would have been understandable. But amazingly, it doesn’t.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated A Contract With God and Other Tenement Stories in Books
Oct 7, 2020
This book, published in 1978, is considered the first modern graphic novel, and it certainly helped spawn the genre. Its storytelling and depth proved this genre has always had far more potential than the fare we see today.

Quentin Tarantino recommended Ministry of Illusion: Nazi Cinema and Its Afterlife in Books (curated)
Creepy
Really good watch, shows how a crush can become an obsession and how possessive and controlling relationships occur without the abused party realising. The story was gripping a intense a great watch with loads of twists, you were never really knew what was going to happen next
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Grey's Anatomy in TV
Aug 27, 2019
I've watched pretty much all of these series' so far up to season 13, enjoying watching these doctors progress from interns to experts in their chosen field.
They form great friendships and suffer great losses and still manage to do the thing they love the most. Help save lives.
I will continue to watch until it concludes.

Rolling Stone's 269th greatest album of all time
I wanted to love this album. However, the production of it (the guitar being too loud in the mix and generally just atmospheric noise, and the vocals being quite subdued) made it quite far from my tastes and expectations. An OK album but not my cup of tea.
