Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Buried Secrets (Nick Heller, #2) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
I won this book as a First Reads giveaway on Goodreads. I had never read any of the Nick Heller series so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Let me begin by saying I was pleasantly surprised. The book is well written with deep, meaningful characters. It was filled with nonstop action and enough suspense for three books. I think I havediscovered a new favorite series! Nick Heller is comprable to Berry's Cotton Malone without being an obvious knock-off. I truly enjoyed this book & will be looking for more Joseph Finder books in the future.

One of my all-time favorite movies!
I love Deadpool, but the version in X-Men Origins: Wolverine was awful. Ryan Reynolds did his best but...ugh. So I was iffy about the premise of a full movie for the character. Would it just be a full-length rehash of the Wolverine mess?
No, I'm glad to say it is not. Deadpool is an action-packed, raunchy, romantic but not sappy, and character-driven movie that definitely left me wanting more. I'm glad I gave it another go and am really looking forward to the sequel.

Brings classic games to a modern system. (1 more)
Brought final mix to tbe United States.
No way to use the original enemy skins. (2 more)
358/2 is just cutscenes and the journal.
Recoded is just cutscenes and the journal
Love these games!
This is one my favorite game series of all times. It gets an 8 mostly due to the fact that 358/2 is unplayable. Other than that the games were updated to include content previously unavalible in North America. This includes the Data Battles in 2 and extra secret bosses in 1. All in all its a great collection to own.

Cheesy stupid fun and Dwayne Johnson with no shirt.
When I first heard they were going to be making a reboot Baywatch movie all I really wanted was for a Cheesy movie and slow-motion running and that's pretty much what you get with the movie.
My favorite thing about the movie is Zac Efron's character constantly pointing out that they should just go to the cops since you know they are just lifeguards and have no business tracking down drug dealers and thieves.
In the end you get a cheesy reboot and not much else.

Contains spoilers, click to show
It was true to the animated classic that we all know and love!! There was a couple of added scenes and some things were altered for the sake of the live action shoot. My favorite added scene was the trip to where Belle was born, it added so much more to the story and the characters connection with each other. I also loved the development of the character Belle, the way we get more depth and background with her versus what we got in the original animated movie story. All in all I have to say was very impressed with the movie!!!

What the heck?
This was a big disappointment. Star Wars Battlefront for PS2 is my favorite video game of all time so when I heard they were re-making it, I was thrilled! I could not wait to see how they did this. Well when I bought the game, I was disappointed to learn that not only was there no story mode but there was no local multiplayer, you could only play with people online. They did not advertise this or else I would not have bought this game. I pray that the next one is better.

Thor Ragnarok
Out of all the Thor movies released to date, Ragnarok is my favorite. Before Thor just was either simply annoying to me or wasnt able to hold my attention. Ragnarok begins fleshing out of his character. He may be a god, but his flaws and foibles make him more realistic and relatable. We get to see his struggles. We get to see facets of his sense of humor. Oh, and he makes fight scenes EPIC.

Phenomenal
This is not my first book by Kevin Hearne, but it isby far my favorite. The world-building is comprehensive and flawless, the characters are relatable and fully actualized. The best part is that he is teaching the art of good story-telling while he tells one hell of a good story. The narrator for the audible book made it even better! I was so engrossed that I literally screamed in frustration when it was over and I realized I was going to have to wait for the next book to know what happens to Abhi and the others.
Lori Forrest (0 KP) rated Netflix in Apps
Apr 21, 2018
Netflix is, of course, a dominant force in entertainment. The original series and movies are awesome. It's great to be able to binge my favorite shows like Friends, and they are uploading shows as soon as they end on air quicker and quicker. The only real downfall is that they don't have agreements with several networks still, so a lot of shows that I love aren't available. I would love to completely cancel cable and every other subscription I have, but I can't until things like Modern Family and Food Network's best can be seen on Netflix.

Remake bah!
I know there is a new version of this film coming out soon and I'm not happy about it. The same way I wasn't happy about The Beguiled remake (which was horrible), some movies are better untouched.
This might be my favorite Steve McQueen film or at least his best acting performance (maybe The Sand Pebbles?) Everyone should watch this prison film and also the triumph of the human spirit.
Dustin Hoffman is also great as well as the great filming locations. They augment the story and make it more believable.
Highly recommended.
