Watched Thursday in my opinion second to raganarok as one of the best thor sequels so far still better than the second one anyway the film it was amazing the visuals the action scenes of course Chris helmsworth still got it but for me Natalie portman steals it from Chris as the female version of thor nice they stuck to her origin from the comic books how she became thor nice to have the guardians of the galaxy back shame it wasn't longer

50's Set
Odd Thriller
A reasonable but slightly odd quirky Thriller. From the Trailer you guess there is going to be some weird quirky reveal into what is going on. The sets and feel of the film look good and with a good Cast. Just took a bit long to get to the reason of what was going on and why. One for those who enjoy films that are very different to the norm if far from a classic.
David McK (3791 KP) rated Elementary - Season 4 in TV
Aug 19, 2023
Season 4 of CBS's 'modern-day' take on Sherlock (and a gerder-flipped Watson), again set in the US of A instead on in London.
Each season so far has had it's main 'focus' (for want of a better word): Sherlock himself, Moriarty, Mycroft Holmes, Kitty.
This time, it's Sherlocks father - Morland Holmes - who is the main focus of the series as a whole.
Well, perhaps focus is too strong a word: what I should, instead, be saying, is that more than a few of the episodes involve him and his various shady dealings!

David McK (3791 KP) rated Sharpe's Regiment (1196) in Movies
Oct 23, 2022
While there is now something like 23, maybe 24, Sharpe novels by Bernard Cornwell when this was released there was only roughly half that.
This is the only novel (so far) to be set mainly in England, with Richard Sharpe and Patrick Harper travelling back to London to find the missing recruits from their second battalion - a storyline to which this adaptation sticks remarkably closely.
It's not perfect, of course, with subplots left out or condensed somewhat (and the lack of budget shows), but it is still a good enough watch!

David McK (3791 KP) rated Rush Hour 3 (2007) in Movies
Sep 26, 2025
I knew there was both a "Rush Hour" and "Rush Hour 2" film, and would probably say I was pretty familiar with them both (more so the first one).
The third one?
Not so much.
In this, Inspector Lee (Chan) and Carter (Tucker) find themselves travelling to Paris following an assassination attempt on the Chinese Ambassador Han (the same ambassador from the first film, with his now-grown daughter), which ties back to the Chinese Triad.
It's an OK watch, but far below the first in terms of quality.

Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Churchill and Orwell: The Fight for Freedom in Books
Jan 2, 2018
Intriguing comparison between opposing men
Thomas E. Rick's fascinating account of the lives two of the most renowned British men seems an unlikely match, but nevertheless a good comparison. Literary leftist giant George Orwell and Conservative heavyweight Winston Churchill appear to be as far apart from one another, however, their visions of freedom actually divulge.
Ricks points out, both men's "dominant priority, a commitment to human freedom, gave them common cause", despite Orwell being an introvert and Churchill being a prominent orator - and it seems to be the common thread that ties them throughout.
The author's focus on Orwell felt far more interesting than Churchill's background, given that Orwell served in various armed forces around the world by choice, and usually fighting with the underdog. He was also poverty-stricken for a period of time, in which he wrote the classic memoir Down and Out in Paris and London. But Churchill's ability to change minds across the political sphere is legendary.
While certainly not exhaustive, this book provides an overview of the lives of both influential men, delving into each's careers as the themes of war, politics, and personal liberties are explored. It may be seen as a bit of a stretch given the two never actually met, however, it is still informative and entertaining.
