Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Finding Zach in Books

Sep 6, 2019

With a storyline like this I expected to be more emotionally involved in Zach and David's story, but I found it quite hard in that respect.

I felt sorry for Zach for his ordeal and for David over the guilt he felt. I also felt sorry for the possible romance they missed out on with Zach's disappearance.

That being said I didn't really connect with them or the story.

I did like the interaction between the two guys; some of the things they said to each other in their more tender moments were really sweet.

I'd definitely consider reading more books by the author.

Could have and should have been so much more.

Ever wonder what would happen if they got a bunch of the funniest women of SNL fame together to make a film what would happen? Well, apparently, the answer is not much. This movie lags from the get-go with opening jokes that miss their intended marks and continue throughout the film. All the female characters seem to lose any real individuality and just all mesh together in a blob of female stereotypes. Wanted to laugh so hard at all these funny women I've loved for years but found only a couple chuckles and a lot of boredom.

David McK (3770 KP) rated Terminator Genisys (2015) in Movies

Entry number 5 in The Terminator series: a series that is largely viewed as having gone drastically downhill after the first two superlative instalments, and that is undoubtedly Arnold Schwarzenegger most famous role.

The biggest problem with this one, simply, is that it gave away too much in the trailers prior to it's release: yes, Arnie returns (as a 'good' Terminator who states that he is 'old, not obsolete'), Sarah Connor is recast, time travel again is a key concept, and other characters are found to have changed sides.

Oh, and an (ex)The Doctor (Who) has a starring role - well, I suppose he should be used to timey-wimey shenanigans!
