Disappointing
Last night I took Mrs B along to see this, much anticipated, much hyped movie. And to say we came away disappointed is an understatement.
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga are both amazing in this, particularly in the early parts of the movie as we're introduced to both characters - music legend Jackson Maine and aspiring singer/songwriter Ally. The songs they sing, the story of them meeting up, falling in love and touring together, it's all good. But then things begin to go downhill for Jackson, while Ally gradually becomes more and more like Lady Gaga. There are some great moments in the latter half of the movie, but it's mostly Jackson slurring his words while you try and work out what he's saying and Ally doing choreography with her dancers and playing big gigs. And it drags, it really drags.
I actually heard some people behind me in the cinema complaining how boring it was. That's a little unfair, but there are certainly a lot of boring moments and I didn't feel it was worthy of all the hype.

Movies for kids have come a long way from the old damsel in distress blueprint. But this lapis little lady of the forest doesn’t get to color outside the lines.

SummerLGrant (185 KP) rated A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent in Books
Jul 26, 2017
One of the best fantasy series
This is one of the best fantasy series to come around for a very long time. Having just read the last book in the series, I appreciate even more just how brilliant this one is as the starting point for Lady Trent's story.

Aug 24, 2017
Rainbow is also a transmutation of Kesha’s own persona — the dollar sign now revealed for the profanity it always was. We began to see this Kesha, a lady of sorrow and of joy, on the gorgeous, show-stopping, melancholy
