Dean (6927 KP) rated The First Purge (2018) in Movies
Jul 13, 2018 (Updated Nov 28, 2018)
Average 4th Purge film
Definitely the weakest entry so far. The Purge is conducted solely on Staten Island to see what would happen. It has all the usual plotlines from the other films to do with class, racial and political divide. If you liked the other films check it out otherwise not one to be in a hurry to watch.

Amazing!

Wow. I was looking forward to the new Mission: Impossible film. But this delivered far beyond my expectations. I first noticed when my hands were sweating from the stress of the movie.
I think my favorite part was when I saw the sunrise at the end of the film and I thought that the explosion had killed everyone. The expectation subversion was perfect.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Seven Pounds (2008) in Movies
Aug 26, 2018
A good story, well told and Will Smith is growing on me as a serious actor. The main problem with this is it is far too obvious right from the off what is going to happen and why. We then spend a long time waiting for the build up to the conclusion. Still a fine film though, but it lost it's impact by being too predictable.

Nov 14, 2018
One of the most confident 5 star ratings I have given so far! This has to be one of the greatest ghost stories I have read in a long time, full of suspense and shocking twists and turns! I highly recommend this novel to horror fans, I just didn't want to put it down. This is one story that will stay on my mind for a while.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated South Park Annual 2012 in Books
Nov 14, 2018
I read this one back in 2012, as far as I can remember I did enjoy it. Great for fans new and old due to the character profiles. This includes a couple of well known episodes in comic form...the only reason I knocked off a star was because of personal preference, I'm just not keen on one of the episodes, other than that, a good annual.

Peter G. (247 KP) rated Pan's Labyrinth (2006) in Movies
Jun 17, 2019
I must have been one of a handful of people who thought this War/horror/fantasy film although having a good story and typical Del torro fare was just very good and doesn't make it as far as being a great film.
Inventive monsters make this one stand out somewhat, however I felt the pacing was a little off, a very magical effort nonetheless.

David McK (3540 KP) rated Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, #3) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
Third entry in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, and maybe I was beginning to burn out as I had read the first three books back-to-back in the course of about a week, but I found this one to be slower moving, more graphic and heavier going than either of the two previous novels.
Of the first three books, this is by far the weakest.

Bubba Gee (147 KP) rated Remember the Titans (2000) in Movies
Jun 24, 2019
Deep and touching
Remember the titans is a very deep, moving film about one towns love of football while coming to terms with the difficulties of integration in 70s America, the film doesn't shy too far away from this.
The efforts of the coaches to pull the whole team together are deeply felt and uplifting.
Movies like this show that love can trump hate.
