David McK (3918 KP) rated Batman, Volume 7: Endgame in Books
Nov 23, 2025
Volume 7 in the New 52 run of Batman comics, with The Joker making his return to Gotham City and enacting his latest plan against Batman and his compatriots (is that the right word?).
The clue is in the title how it ends.
the art - as before - is top-notch but I d have to say, I found this one to 'jump around' quite a bit, to not really 'flow' (if that makes sense) smoothly from one part of the plot to another, and to just be an OK read.

A Thriller that gets better (1 more)
Good plot
No dead weight
Thought I'd give this short thriller a go. It seems almost too simple to be that good. Probably best not to read the synopsis first as that is a spoiler.
What starts as a simple revenge plot in a situation similar to @Gerald's Game (2017) a wife is handcuffed to her husband who kills himself in a remote lake house in winter. But there is a lot more to it than that and I found it a very enjoyable Thriller.

Reminds me of friends in that its all very chill with a sense of camaraderie only Kim’s convenience is focused on blood relatives. None the less this show is really good to relax to when your fed up of all the action packed dramas. I also found the family dynamic really relatable which was fun.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated 1917 (2020) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
These days we have got so used to the fast-paced movies with all-out action that a film like 1917 can be a bit of a “Marmite Movie” for lots of people, but putting aside that the film does run in a slower pace than most movies that are currently running in cinemas at the moment, I have to say that I found myself glued to the film right from the start, it’s a powerful and emotional film that brings home the horror of war!

David McK (3918 KP) rated Napoleon (2023) in Movies
Dec 7, 2023
The Corsican Ogre.
As the English called him.
I found this to be a bit on the long side, concentrating too much on the tumultuous relationship between Napoleon and Josephine and not enough in the events of the period - 15 years (in film) go past in the blink of an eye, with no mention at all made of Napoleon's Italian campaign, and with the invasion of Russia taking all of 10 minutes or so; Waterloo expanded to maybe 15 (or so it feels). Not enough time spent on them, anyway, I felt.

David McK (3918 KP) rated Quest for Lost Heroes (Drenai #4) in Books
Mar 11, 2023
An early Gemmell, this is the fourth (by release date) in his Drenai saga, and - I have to say - it shows somewhat.
Whilst it is an enjoyable read, I found this one to lack the complexity of some of his later works: indeed, the very plot itself even comes across as a rough outline for his later Winter Warriors.
Having said that, I still enjoyed this one, albeit not as much as his novels that included the Drenai hero Druss (name dropped in passing - this is set centuries on), or even the assassin Waylander.
