David McK (3721 KP) rated The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) in Movies
Dec 28, 2025
"Something has survived"
1997 sequel to the original Jurassic Park, loosely based on a book that itself was written (again by Michael Crichton) after the first film, that moves the action from Isla Nublar to Isla Sorna, aka Site B, where it transpired the original dinosaurs were created before being shipped off tonthe park.
Said facilities shut down after the accident in the Park.
And is where Goldblum's returning Dr Ian Malcolm finds himself, on what he believes to be a rescue mission as his hastily-creared paleontologist girlfriend is already on said island.
While not as good as the original film, this is still enjoyable (and takes inspiration from both the second novel as well as from unused portions of the first novel).

Maxon
In America we trust
I truly love this series if you like YA dystopian Story's then this book is for you.
America Singer is a truly lovable protagonist who follows her heart and whilst this is not always the wisest of choices it does make a great story. America is a strong female who is a great inspiration for young girls to look up to.
Prince Maxon is also a great charcter although prince to Ilyria Maxon life isn't all glitz and glamour choosing between 30 strangers isnt as easy as the world thinks it is. he has pressure of war closing in on him at all sides his Dad wants him to go another direction and not all of the girls are what they seem.

Dianne Robbins (1738 KP) rated Below Stairs: The Bestselling Memoirs of a 1920s Kitchen Maid in Books
Sep 3, 2018
Margaret Powell's memoir Below Stairs is growing up in a poor in money but rich in love with her family in a small village near London, England and her life in domestic service in the 1920s. It is simply wonderful. Her other memoirs Climbing the Stairs and Servants Hall and her Cookery Book are next on my list. It's more like listening to your favorite aunt sitting at the kitchen with you over fresh-baked cookies and glasses of homemade lemonade while retelling stories of her childhood and life in the early part of the 20th century. You HAVE to read it!. Julian Fellowes read her books and they were the inspiration behind the extremely popular BBC series Downton Abbey, that is watched by us in the states on PBS Masterpiece.

Dec 18, 2019
Remake/reimagining of the 1981 original, I remember the big thing about this at the time as the special effects. Or, rather, the post-production 3D effects added released, as this was, only a few short years after James Cameras na exceptional 'Avatar'. Whereas 'Avatar', however, was filmed specifically in and for 3D, this film owes more of a debt to the older 1980s 3D films: watching this in 2D it's quite obvious to see what scenes were added specifically for the effects (I'm thinking mainly of the attack of the giant scorpions, or the Kraken at the end),
Starring Sam Worthingon - whatever happened to him? - as Perseus, the plot of this obviously takes inspiration from Greek myths, even down to having Liam Neeson playing the part of Zeus himself, and of the Pegasus.
