Jan 12, 2018
[Until We End] is a post-apocalyptic novel that takes a sinister twist. As people all over the world die from a strange disease Cora and Coby hide at home as their dad told them. They believe they may be the only ones left but they were wrong.
[Frankie Brown] adds to the ever popular genre of YA post-apocalyptic fiction. Unlike others I feel you can never have too much of a good thing and this genre has always been a favorite. Keep them coming.

Heart grabbing
This book is a really good read, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story which is based on true events and real people. I like how the characters renained hopeful of a future considering their unfortunate situation. However, like others have said I feel like the author down played the intensity of everything, despite this, some parts were still get hard to read. Overall, 9/10. Would read again and recommend.

A good Gen X movie
This is a great movie to bad it did not meassure up to the book. Now saying that i gave it an 8. If it followed the book to a tee you could have had 2 or 3 movies easy from it. As a child of the 80s this movie hit home. It had both the feel of the 80s and the since of a dystopian future. I highly recommend watching the movie and reading the book, do it that order.
Heather Heath (18 KP) rated Doctor Who - Series 11 (New Season 11) in TV
May 16, 2019
I have watched Doctor Who scence season 9. ( My husband longer) and we never missed an episode. But this time around we just couldn't get through it. The story lines were half the time mediocre at best. Jodi Whitiker is a good actress and I know she had to work with what the writers give her so I don't blame her for how the season turned out. It just didn't seem ti have the same Doctor Who feel to it.

Law school sucks. The end.
While I liked the characters overall and I did feel a tad sorry for them, I didn't gain much else from this book. It's predictable and somewhat boring. I only finished reading it just to say that I had.
I've heard so many good things about Grisham, but I definitely would not place this one at the top of a list. However, I'm not going to judge the author based on one book. There are always hits and misses somewhere.

Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated Avengers: Endgame (2019) in Movies

Even though bits of the movie are slow moving, there still isn't really a good time to leave as there is so much information given as it progresses. Once the action starts, it doesn't stop. I was not ready for the amount of tears I would shed while watching the final Avengers movie. I did feel that some things lacked a proper explanation at the climax of the movie but found it enjoyable, nevertheless. Definitely worth popping some popcorn and settling in for the show.

Tedious, repetitive, not scary
Possibly the worst film I've ever seen. Definitely the worst out of the films that are highly rated by critics.
I just found it dull. The idea of 'found footage' could have been good, but it was poorly executed, leading to a disjointed film that didn't engage me in the slightest and didn't make me feel for any of the characters, who get increasingly hysterical over noises that could be anything.
The best thing about the film was that it (finally!) ended.

Acting is Top Notch
Peter Jackson you beautiful man.
Nothing bad to say, it's a long film but doesn't feel long enough it's that good.
One little tidbit incase anyone doesn't know, there is a scene where Aragon kicks a helmet in anger. This reaction is actually real, as he kicked it he broke bones! Not only did he injure himself, he kept in character and that take was used in the final cut!

3.5 stars
I liked the idea behind the story but it didn't quite have the emotion in it that I like for my mm romances. I didn't get pulled into the story and feel the characters emotions myself.
It was definitely something different with the president falling for a Secret Service agent and I really did like that about it. It has some prominent political moments and some good action scenes but I'm not sure if I've been drawn into the series enough to continue it.
