The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Tokyo Performance in Books
Oct 7, 2020
I'm not going to put a full review up on my blog for this little book, which is too short to even be called a novella. This is a lovely character study story about a very troubled Japanese chef. Gently written and filled with humor, it is also quite sad. I don't recall which blog I found reference to these "Red Circle Mini" books, but thanks to whomever it was! Delightful!

Kevin Phillipson (10021 KP) rated Dragon Ball super super heroes (2022) in Movies
Aug 19, 2022
Been watching dragonball and its many different versions on off for 20 years since dragonball z never thought I would be seeing it on the big screen it's exactly what I was expecting plenty of action and humor I would expect to see and as this was the dubbed version which I preferred to the Japanese speaking version which was also on overall good afternoon movie
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2206 KP) rated Killer Thriller in Books

Ian and Margo are in for Another Thrill Ride
Bestselling author Ian Ludlow is heading to Hong Kong on business – promotion for a film based on one of his books and research for his next one – and Margo French is joining him as his research assistant. Neither of them realize that their arrival in Hong Kong has attracted the wrong kind of attention thanks again to one of Ian’s books. Will they recognize the danger they are in before it is too late?
I enjoyed this one just as much as the first in the series. There is plenty of humor as events progress, some coming from the circumstances and some coming from a skewering of Hollywood thanks to the movie Ian is there to help promote. I did feel some of the humor fell into the adolescent male category, which I didn’t always appreciate, but this isn’t something new for this author. Thanks to well done multiple viewpoint storytelling, we know the slow burn that is happening before Ian and Margo realize they’ve attracted the wrong attention, but once the book really takes off, it becomes impossible to put down. I love the fact that Ian is not a typical thriller hero since he is an overweight, middle age, writer. He and Margo are great main characters. If you are looking for a fun mix of humor and thrills, this is the book for you.

Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Who on Earth is Tom Baker? in Books
Jan 12, 2018
WOW... Okay, Tom's life is very... unfortunate. And while I was interested, I realized I wanted more of the stories of his career and less about how he came to be. The first half of the book is his struggles with God in a religious upbringing, the third quarter is his struggles in military service. And while these stories are simultaneously heartbreaking and emotional, they are such a drag to read. It's not that he doesn't tell the story well, he does, injecting his trademark humor onto just about every page. But the tragic nature of the events counters that humor making it more gallows and inappropriate than anything. I SLOGGED through the first half. It does pick up some once he becomes an actor (and like The Doctor, Tom is a bit of a name dropper). Insightful and interesting, but I'm still not sure I have any idea who on Earth is Tom Baker...
Mcdoogle (7 KP) rated The Ranch - Season 1 in TV
Jun 4, 2017
One of the best sitcoms out!
Bad- there was only one part where I felt like the beginning jokes were forced but after that it was pure gold. Same with the laughing tracks, most if not near all sitcoms use em but at first again it seemed like the tracks were being forced to make the joke funny. But I quickly ignored it and didn't notice after a while.
Good- where to begin? Ill start with the cast. Between Sam Elliott and Danny and Ashton's chemistry, there is so much to go off of. The humor that the show is able to get away with because it being on Netflix really fits and doesn't take away from the show like one might think. The style of the show (western) is a perfect match, even the music adds a certain degree of feeling to the show.
