Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Distance Between Us in Books
Jan 8, 2021
3.75 stars.
I liked a lot of this book; the romance and friendship that Caymen had with Xander, Skye and the band and strangely the doll shop and it's shoppers. The thing that knocked it down a quarter star was their preconceived bad feelings toward the rich without their being an explanation for most of the book.
Nevertheless I still liked the book a lot. Xander and his family were so down to Earth and he grew on me so much throughout this book. I thought Caymen was a little stupid to try and resist him because he was pretty amazing.
I look forward to reading more books by the author in the future.

3.5 stars.
After reading this I'm not sure I get the story title but other than that I liked this.
It was polar opposites attracting; the popular guy and the girl who's different, the loner.
I liked how they both changed. The found hope and a reason to be better, to believe that they could become better with each other in their lives. Overcoming obstacles and the past to hope for a better future.
I kind of wish the ending had been a little longer but knowing that they finally stood up for each other and that Stella was actually giving college a chance was enough for me.
Another nice YA romance from Katie McGarry.

Released back in 2009, this was - at the time - meant to be the first in a new trilogy if Terminator films.
This is the one set almost entirely in a post apocalyptic 'future' (2018, so - at the time of reviewing - 2 years ago), with Sam Worthington still riding his fame after Avatar (before seemingly disappearing), and with Christian Bale taking on the role of a grown-up John Connor.
The film, however, is probably more famous for his on-set meltdown/temper tantrum...
No Arnie - for once - and with a young Anton Yelchin (before his unfortunate demise) as Kyle Reese, this is actually better than I remember it to be, if not brilliant.

Was always going to be impossible being the next film up after endgame and though this one had one or two minor issues it's still another excellent entry into the MCU.
Some good action scenes,excellent performances by Tom Holland and Jon Favreau made this better than homecoming,though mysterio wasnt up to much as the bad guy with all his tech illusions.
It's a shame that the cliffhanger ending in the first post credits scene wont be fully explored as spiderman is no longer in the MCU.Hopefully Sony will keep up the quality in future movies and it will be interesting to see if spiderman goes up against venom or morbius.

I still really like this series.
I think it's all about the connection between the two main characters, Elena and Raphael, and the love they share. I like how though she's his biggest weakness, being a newly made angel, she's also the one thing that keeps him grounded and makes him a better person/angel/whatever.
With everything that happens in these books it easy to forget some things but the things I do remember include their first flying together--that was equally exciting and heart-stopping to read about--Sam, he's still a cute little thing, and the prospect of angel babies in the future...aww!
I'm looking forward to reading more in the series!

The Fast and The Furious
Death Race 2000- is one of stallone's earliest roles.
The Plot: In the year 2000, America is a totalitarian regime on the brink of collapse. The most popular sport in this dystopia is the Transcontinental Road Race, where teams earn points for logging the fastest time and for mowing over the most innocent pedestrians in the process. This year's competitors include Frankenstein (David Carradine), who is rumored to be more machine than man, and the tough-as-nails "Machine Gun" Joe Viterbo (Sylvester Stallone). Some have a plan to stop the race.
I would highly reccordmend this movie. Its fun, action-packed, set in the future and more.
