Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
When the police have got nowhere trying to find her daughter's killer, she takes matters into her own hands. Renting out three billboards on a barely used road to town, she plasters her simple question for anyone to see. "How come?"
This was a wonderful start to my 2018 cinema going. It's not often that I say I agree with award winners (especially after La La Land) but this one really did deserve it's Golden Globes.
The star in this one for me was Woody Harrelson. He's aged like a fine wine. I wasn't a massive fan previously, but after War For The Planet Of The Apes, and now this, I can't wait to see what else is to come from him.
Three Billboards in an emotional journey, and captures the way a whole community is affected by what happens inside their borders. It expresses the pain, anger and sadness so well, it was a riveting watch.

CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated Cool City by Cary Brothers in Music
Jul 11, 2019
My old buddy Matty D used to play bass for him; Cary's been around for a while. This is how I heard this song at first: Oh really, that's the whole chorus? I mean he gives so little to start out; this whole song is a crescendo, coming from the arrangement, the production, how the chorus keeps getting slightly longer - and then you realize it's all been a set-up for the bridge.
Cary Brothers is quintessential Los Angeles. He's talking about cigarettes and easy parking, he looks good but not too good; the tie is not done. But the production is as good as it gets, and the voice is California all day long.
“I got her number
but she was so smart
I’m feeling stupid
at least it’s a start”
— Cary Brothers
This is a snapshot, a production relic, a grab-and-go musical fast-food. And it is delicious. Cool City indeed.

Sheridan (209 KP) rated Predator (1987) in Movies
Feb 5, 2019
CGI Effects (they're so bad they're good) (1 more)
EXPLOSIONS! I swear, 80s action movies really went all out.
The Predator dies (was I the only one rooting for that alien asshole? I mean come on, he's a highly skilled alien hunter, it hardly seems likely he's going to die...) (1 more)
Covering yourself in mud does not kill your heat signature. It does briefly, but only for like two minutes before your body temp heats it up. Dutch would not have been 'invisible' to Preds for that long. This annoyed me so bad lol
A Cult Classic
It's been a looong time since I've watched the Predator/Alien movies over and they never disappoint me. The perfect mix of action, sci fi and horror elements, this is a gritty movie you can really sink your teeth into (and hell - Arnie in the 80s was some serious eye candy). I love how terrible the CGI is (though back in 87 it would've been on point), it really gives you that 'look how far we've come in technology' feel. It's got explosions, cursing, eye candy, an original alien concept (for the 80s), blood, guts, and gore. I mean, when you're looking for an old school action/sci fi that satisfies your need for grunge, go no further, this is the movie. It's still one of my favourites to this day :)

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
Kit runs Garfield House which is a refuge for boys/young men that have been exiled by so-called friends and family for being gay!
The previous landlord has passed away and Kit is having to deal with his pompous nephew who is against everything Garfield house stands for. Kit then has the rug pulled from underneath him when said nephew decides to put the building on the market he's now got to find a way to keep the boys he's taken in safe and secure as he promised he would.
This is a beautifully written story. You get to see both sides of the story from each character's point of view and I think it's fantastic. Having an understanding of what both men are thinking and feeling makes you involved in the story and their growing relationship.
There is a lot of passion in this book especially when Kit and Jack admit their feelings for each other but it's not done in a tasteless way.
This book is part of a series but can also be read as a stand-alone, I personally am interested in reading about the other characters and finding out their stories. I am definitely hooked!
I rate this book 5/5 and recommend you read it.
