The feature film debut of Edgar Wright still holds up
Edgar Wright is, in my opinion, the best filmmaker working today. Shaun Of The Dead only really hints at that, but it's none the less a masterpiece comedy/horror film that delivers on both the comedy and the horror. Check out the series he made with the same crew first - Spaced, which is pretty much my favorite TV show of all time.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) in Movies
Aug 24, 2017
Rogue One is a solid entry into the Star Wars canon. I loved all of the new characters, and the nods to the originals. Grand Moff Tarkin is one of my favorite characters, and I'm glad they included him; there couldn't have been a movie about the Death Star without him. While I didn't mind the CGI on Tarkin, the CGI Leia was completely unnecessary.
Also, the end with Vader owning everyone was one of the best parts of the movie.

I rewatched this film the other night, and I honestly had forgotten how funny this was. It's a great horror comedy, and it still makes me laugh. It's definitely my favorite zombie movie. Edgar Wright's direction completely works, and it's an impressive first movie. I also love Simon Pegg in this movie, but I think I love him in every film.
I think I send gifs from this movie all of the time to my friends to express my feelings.

Domonique (0 KP) rated Unlucky 13 (Women’s Murder Club, #13) in Books
May 12, 2018
Although this one wasn't my favorite of the murder club books, I still enjoyed reading it, more so for the characters than the plot. I love reading about these characters, not only reading about the going ons of their everyday lives but also their relationships with each other. I love reading about these women: their ups and downs, trials and tribulations and what makes them as awesome as they are. I hope there's going to be another in the series!
Erika (17789 KP) rated Tarkin in Books
Apr 21, 2018
This is one of the best books to come out of the new canon. Grand Moff Tarkin is one of my favorite characters from the Star Wars universe, and I was glad that he got his own book. Tarkin was raised on a rural, rough planet, and it's definitely a big part of who Tarkin is. Tarkin is also aware of who Darth Vader is, as the Emperor had them working together prior to Anakin turning to the dark side.

I have had this book on mt 'list' for awhile. It was worth the wait. It mixed two of my favorite genres of dystopian and lesbian fiction together. It was well researched and written. The characters were realistic and for the most part likable(there were a few you wanted to slap). The ending could have been better or another book could be written to continue the story. It just left me wanting more which is not necessarily a bad thing.

One of my favorite party games!
Played with some roommates and had a great time the first couple times we played. But after a few games the images got old and repetitive. We fixed this by printing out images of some funny pictures we had of ourselves and it was so much more fun than the first time we played!

A real hit or miss show for me.
Don't get me wrong I enjoy Black Mirror but the show can be a real hit or miss for me because when it's good it's freaking AMAZING! But when it drags I lose all interest. For me personally White Bear was my favorite episode if Season 2 and I really loved the twist they came up with but then you have a dumpster fire like the Waldo episode which I really hated.

Jason Momoa
Best Superhero Film to Date
I have to say that before I watched Aquaman, my favorite superhero was Superman. The classic Christopher Reeve persona of Superman to be precise. But when I took my dad to see Aquaman for his birthday, that all changed. It's a fun loving film, great for any fans of action, superheroes and Jason Momoa. The special effects were spectacular. This movie has snuck up to be in my top 20 movies of all time.

One of the best reads I've read this year
Caraval was one of my favorite reads so far this year. It was very different from what I usually read, and I'm glad I found it. I love reading about whole new places that aren't part of our world. Stephanie Garber is excellent at descriptive passages of scenery. Her characters help the reader to immerse themselves in her book. Truly magical to read and imagine.
