The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated All He Ever Wanted in Books
Oct 7, 2020
A story of one man's obsession with a woman who wanted something else. Unfortunately, I found this book to be a touch too sterile for my taste, lacking in humour and devoid of the historical connections I expect to find in period fiction.

Very dark and twisted humour
Beautiful art style
Great soundtrack

This series is amazing - it's as though Invader Zim had a goth baby with Big Mouth, and then took a whole load of mind-altering drugs (particularly the last episode).
I'd highly recommend this, and I wish there was more of it!

One of the best Marvel films
This is definitely the best Thor film by far, and up there as being one of the best Marvel films in general.
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!

Reynolds humour
Under the radar hit
This seemed to pop on Netflix out of nowhere and has got great reviews. One of the best Netflix films to date. A great action film with a fair share of humour but you expect nothing less with Ryan Reynolds in the lead role. A team of 6 come together each with their unique set of skills to kick ass to some bad guys on a grand scale. With a mix of action set all over the globe it feels like a Mission impossible film mixed with the A-Team. Definitely featuring one of the best car chases of any action film for many years. It's full on action film for almost the entire run time. Move this to the top of your Netflix list!

Great dialogue
Very funny
A very good, funny and witty coming of age comedy as a young girl comes to terms with falling pregnant. It has some sharp dialogue and Ellen Page is good as the smart ass kid that always has a sarcastic remark at the ready. You'll like it depending on your sense of humour but it has a good strong cast too.

Sep 11, 2017
If you’re looking for something a bit deeper then give this a wide birth but if you don’t mind a few predictable story lines combined with some decent fight scenes and action sequences as well as the reliable Reynolds humour then give this a go.

Great Sfx
Another excellent entry for Marvel
Such a huge film with so many big characters. The film whizzes by even at 2 hrs 20mins. The battle scenes are great, just felt the big battle could have been a lot longer considering the amount of characters involved. Still with a fair amount of humour as well.
