Dean (6927 KP) rated The Secret of Marrowbone (2018) in Movies
Jul 18, 2018
A decent slow burner
For a fairly short film, 1hr 40mins, it's incredibly slow paced. It feels like a much longer film and could easily have a good 20mins cut from it. Apart from that it's a pretty decent thriller. The trailers are a little misleading, there is little Horror here. The story is good with an ending few will see coming.

An early film starring and directed by Johnny Depp. It's a rather slow tale about the length someone is prepared to go to give their family a better life. Starring Marlon Brando as well briefly it's an interesting tale but the film is too long. There aren't many scenes that stand out either and it kinda feels like a made for TV film. For Johnny's die hard fans only really.

Spike Lee uses black comedy to showcase white horror in all its grotesquerie. BlacKkKlansman (2018) #Review
There’s a deep-rooted discomfort at the heart of “BlacKkKlansman” and it’s the fact that instead of being a historical, true story poking cautionary fun at the ignorance of the past, it instead feels like a howl of furious irony at the recidivism of modern-day America.

Easter Eggs
Acting was top notch; especially Sissy Spacek who needs to win an Emmy for this role
The Gordy side story. So darkly funny!
Why doesn’t everyone just move away?!
Lots of plot holes and WTF is going on moments. I was riveted through the whole thing, but it feels a lot like they were trying to do too much and the show really suffered for it.
David McK (3557 KP) rated Twelve (The Danilov Quintet, #1) in Books

Might have been more effective if the blurb of the book hadn't given away what is meant to be the 'big reveal' (about approximately 1/4 of the way in), and a lot of the book is not in describing the actions: "I did this, then that", but how the protaganist feels in carrying them out: (almost) "I felt like this while doing that"
In short: could've been better.

Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated Alita: Battle Angel (2019) in Movies
Jul 18, 2019
The storyline itself was good and the CGI, for the most part, was impressive. At times, however, the CGI was a bit over the top. It doesn't really end with any resolution and leaves it open for another movie, but it a continuation isn't made, it really feels as though it were dropped off in the middle of the story. Hopefully, they will continue and give the rest of the story.
