Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Drowning in Rapture (Rapture, #1) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
This wasn't my kind of erotica. I prefer the less graphic wording and for come to spelt "come" instead of "cum", trivial I know but a pet peeve of mine.
Strangely I quite liked the plotline, as ludicrous as it was, I just didn't gel with the characters and their actions. They just seemed to run away or get pissed off for no real reason.
As tempted as I am to continue the series, despite my low rating, I won't be continuing it.
Not for me.

This picks up right after TFA, and Phasma's quest to hunt down the First Order officer that gave information to the Resistance so they could blow up Starkiller. Obviously, it was Phasma that did it, but she's on a quest to pin it on someone else.
Other than demonstrating Phasma's ruthlessness, there was no real additional information given about her character.
Peter G. (247 KP) rated Menace II Society (1993) in Movies

I found similarities between this and Carlito's Way in that it's a story about changing one's life no matter how bad it was before things get out of hand and time runs out for you.
The gang violence is excessive and the story line shows that growing up in this environment makes it very difficult to escape from.
It's one of the better gang related movies alongside Boyz n The Hood and has a strong message.
