The GREATEST show
This was a movie that seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere, but swept the whole world - myself included. I love the beating, human heart at the core of everything this movie is, along with the fantastic, passionate cast and wonderful musical numbers.
I work in a movie theatre, and this movie was still selling out in June, having come out at the end of December the previous year. THAT many people can't be wrong - I certainly don't think they are.

I love anthologies. Especially ones that don't have to go with the rest of the series just expands upon the universe. Unlike some you have to read or you know you're missing something crucial between books 3 and 4( for example). There are spoilers in this anthology however Patricia Briggs does a good job letting you know and where the stories fit inside the Mercy and Alpha and Omega universe. My favorite is the Ben story Redemption out of all her characters he has the most personal growth.
Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Seeker (Keeper Duology #2) in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This but book was a lot of fun and a breeze to read.
I hadn't read the first one and it jumps straight into the action but there's some pretty decent exposition to help along.
I really liked the fact that it was told from three points of view.
I think Ty's story was my favorite but I adored Maggie's comic book love.
And hooray for strong friendships between women!

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) in Movies

Solo was amazing! I loved it! Aside from a few cheesy Empire lines, which what do you expect from those Empire folks, I thought it was a great story with an outstanding cast and put together wonderfully. One aspect that really made it great to watch was a lot of the make-up and effects felt more practical and less cheap cgi, which is why out of the newer Star Wars movies I love Rogue One and Solo. A really fun and great movie I definitely suggest seeing.
Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated The Best of Enemies (2019) in Movies
Jul 5, 2019
With another 4th of July in the books, I can't help but think about people in today's world still having to fight for different freedoms and rights. One fight, or charette rather, to end school segregation took place in North Carolina in 1971 that brought together the best of enemies and the unlikeliest of friends, a black activist Ann Atwater and a KKK leader C.P. Ellis. Best of Enemies is a really good movie with a wonderful cast that tells this particular story beautifully. Here's to love always triumphing over ignorant hate.
James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Force of Nature in Books
Nov 13, 2019
Gripping and dry
What I love about Jane Harper's books is the biggest character is always the landscape the story takes place in. Force of nature is set in one of Australia's cold and dark national parks, rugged and unforgiving and so the atmosphere is set. Take office politics up a notch to a brutal level and add intriguing and constant suspense and you will find it difficult to not read just another chapter. If you like crime novels Harper's and human and most importantly believable. Won't get a better thriller/crime novel this year
Versusyours (757 KP) rated Little Giants (1994) in Movies

When Rick Moranis was a force
My daughter asked to watch this as we watched it together when she was younger. A simple and enjoyable tale of sibling rivalry and the classic underdog story. The misfits and their tomboy leader take on the slick and polished team. Some classic stereotypes and geek tropes make for some fun viewing. The films climax shows the unlikely victory for the underdogs and a lesson learned by everyone.
Kids will love it and grown up can also find some entertaining parts. A good rainy day film from the 1990s

Couldn't look away
Contains spoilers, click to show
I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, I love horrors and most of the time their cliche but this was epic, the music creating a dramatic atmosphere. The story of loss and life, the risks they took every day to survive.
The way to defeat the creatures was realised by the daughter and it was a truly mesmerising moment between mother and daughter.
I bet the second one they become one hell of a team to remove the rest of the alien creatures from earth.
