David McK (3880 KP) rated Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) in Movies
Jul 25, 2022
The fourth solo outing for Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder (after "Thor", "Thor: The Dark World" and "Thor: Ragnorak") which double downs on the goofiness that Taika Waititi brought to the prevus instalment.
To this films detriment, I felt: the humour felt, at times, forced, with Thor (again, at times) coming across as more of a buffoon than I would prefer.
This also see's the return of Natalie Portman's Jane Foster - last seen in The Dark World, before dumping Thor off-screen - with elements of the plot heavily influenced by the 2014 run of comics that sees her lifting Mjolnir.
Christian Bale is also suitably menacing as Gorr the God Butcher, but is seemingly in a different movie to everyone else! Those shadow creatures are bound to give kids nightmares ...
In short, the scary bits are scarier than in many a previous Marvel movie, whilst the funny bits (attempt to be) funnier than any previous!

Erika (17789 KP) rated The Stranger In The Woods:The Extraordinary Story Of The Last True Hermit in Books
Jan 2, 2018
Normally, I love journalists writing non-fiction, but this was awful. I was completely annoyed reading this book, thank god it was a short one. It tells the story of the 'last hermit', and the guy was just not likeable nor compelling. By midway, I didn't care why he decided to be a hermit. That's when I should have stopped reading. But, I didn't. Overall: woof. I'm never reading anything by Finkel ever again.

Such a fun movie!
Thor is reinvigorated with “Thor: Ragnarok”. After a not so stellar second solo movie, this is a welcome addition to not only the series of Thor movies, but Marvel movies as a whole. It looks great and the tone is so much fun. We see a very different side to the god of thunder in Ragnarok. With some help from his fellow revengers, this is a can not miss film.

Jan 30, 2018
This one was good and different. the new twists on satan and vampires and hell and god.. the adventures that happened... the style of writing leaves you wanting more and needing to know what happens next.. there was also time travel in this story and that was enjoyable as well. a couple spots got a little bit confusing for me but overall it was really good story and im glad i got to review it
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2627 KP) rated Joni and Ken: An Untold Love Story in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A look at the trials Joni and Ken have faced in their marriage. And it's good for anyone interested in this amazing couple. But if you open up your heart, God just might use it to challenge and convict you. He sure did for me.

This book was assigned over the summer of the 9th grade year... WOOF. Reading this was torture, analyzing it was easy, thank god. I read a lot of books, and this one never had my attention, and I think it's severely overrated. I could not drink the kool-aid on this one.
The only reason I still have my copy is because it's now worth a bit more money than I bought it for.

Masterpiece!
Contains spoilers, click to show
This last offering before "Infinity War" basically softens the mood but we all know what's up next: Thanos' arrival. Chris Hemsworth clearly came out of his comfort zone in this film and it didn't all have to rely on him as Mark Buffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Tessa Thompson, and the always entertaining Jeff Goldblum held their own in scenes separate and together with the God of Thunder. A must watch!!

The Apostles, the Herald, all of the men and women, angels and man in it's entirety show up in this movie. It's beautiful. It needs to be seen.

It will definitely make you think.
I read in an English accent which made everything all the more creepy. Jake is not a good guy and he knows this. He doesn't apologize for it either. As he says "live. There is no God and that's His only commandment." This book is full of allusion and references most of which I'm not sure I caught.
This is a love it or hate it book.
