Erika (17789 KP) rated Carnival Row - Season 1 in TV
Sep 8, 2019
Anyway, the world was interesting, and it was a Steampunky-Victorian mash up. It was also very predictable, I had everything figured out completely by the 6th episode. The script wasn't that great, and good god, Cara Delevigne cannot act her way out of a wet paperbag. The main draw, for me, was Orly. He seemed to be the best actor out of all of them. There was one story line that I'm not sure was strictly necessary, involving the Spurnrose family, and that obnoxious actress that played Catherine Howard in the Tudors. There was also another strange plot line that seemed a little off, because it wasn't introduced with enough detail. There was also unnecessary T&A that I think just slowed down the show in general. I don't like T&A scenes in general, because they're hardily every relevant to the overall story. I just feel like the streaming platforms are trying to be like HBO. This show would have benefited from not having it, because it could have brought in a younger demographic as well as the adults.
I'm glad this was already renewed for a second season, because they left it as a cliffhanger. I wanted more about these different magical races and their country of origin.

Sarah (7800 KP) rated Thor: Ragnarok (2017) in Movies
Nov 5, 2017 (Updated Nov 6, 2017)
It's so much fun, and the humour in it is brilliant. It's very funny, and Korg has to be my new favourite character. The action scenes were marvellous and the sfx too. The whole 80s neon theme works really well, especially with the awesome soundtrack. The plot was interesting and serious, but with the humour in it felt a lot more lighthearted than other recent Marvel films. This seemed much more along the same lines as the Guardians of the Galaxy films.
I loved some of the new characters like Valkyrie and the Grandmaster, although my only negative is that I felt Karl Urban and Idris Elba were a little underused. Need more Heimdall!
SummerLGrant (185 KP) rated Within the Sanctuary of Wings in Books

Lady Trent has been an absolutely fascinating character to read about for the past few years and the character development you see happens naturally throughout all five books of her memoirs. As the final instalment of an amazing series, Within the Sanctuary of Wings is a suitable conclusion for her adventures and completely outstripped my expectations.
In a series of this size there's usually a dip of quality at some point, but somehow Marie Brennan was able to avoid that and kept the pace of the story going without a wasted word and a clear idea of where she wanted the story to go.
Daniel Boyd (1066 KP) rated The Girl With All the Gifts (2017) in Movies
Aug 9, 2017 (Updated Oct 24, 2017)
In general, the movie is pretty good, it is a cool concept that is fairly well executed. Paddy Considine, Glenn Close and Gemma Arterton give great performances and the young actress in the title role does a decent job too. The direction is good, the sound design and lighting is effective and the ending is unexpected.
Overall this is worth a watch, it's not going to go down as the greatest zombie movie in history, but it is an interesting piece of film.
