Erika (17789 KP) rated Marvel's Agent Carter - Season 1 in TV
Nov 19, 2017
While I liked the first season of Agent Carter, I didn't love it. Agent Carter was my favorite character from Captain America: The First Avenger. Hayley Atwell kicks a lot of butt, and I wanted it to be so much more. Jarvis was by far, one of the best characters, and I've always liked Dominic Cooper. The series just took too long to get to the meat of the story. I was hopeful for the second season, after the season finale.
I'm also still salty they canceled it after the 2nd season, and because no one else picked it up.

I am so happy that I bought this paperback at Penned Con this year as I couldn't be more happier. The story line is beautifully written and the characters are extraordinary. I was swept away by both the young and now grown Baylin and Luana. As soon as I submit this review I will be buying the next book. Though all three books come in one I opted for this one as I love the cover. This was the first book I've read written by this author and I look forward to reading all of her other books.

Tennant makes the best doctor
Out of the New generations doctor who David Tennant is by far my favorite doctor. His charisma brings something special and perfect to the doctors persona.
The relationship between Rose and the Doctor is something beautiful and so bittersweet that there love can never be.
Show runners Russel T Davies and head written Steven Moffat make a great team and when they work together the show episode, story boards arcs and monsters are something that make any other show hard to match up to.

B (15 KP) rated Stuff You Should Know in Podcasts
Jan 10, 2018
Josh Clark and Charles (Chuck) Bryant are the very charming co-hosts for a very informative Podcast. They wander off on little tantrums that I find rather endearing. Stuff you should know covers a multitude of topics, common and not so common. My favorite episodes are the Halloween story time they have. I also really enjoyed the How a Flea Circus Works and The Future of Renewable Energy where they did a rare interview (which I usually hate with a passion) with Bill Gates. If random knowledge is something you love to have and share this is a podcast for you.

Amazing concept (2 more)
Great cast
Easter egg on the DVD
Outstanding film
I love this film! One you can rewatch over and over again, yet never tire of it. The film is shown in flash backs, each scene showing what happened just before the last section. The main character has short term memory loss which plays well with how the film is viewed. It has a gripping story and plenty of twists. One of the most original films ever! If you have the DVD there is an Easter egg to watch it in the correct chronological order of events, brilliant!

Great story and plot (1 more)
Unique combination of emotion and science
Almost too close for comfort
The first book in one of my favourite trilogy's. I love this series and its ability to make short jumps in scientific advancement from where we are currently to the potential of what we might become. The scientific basis of this series brings up very modern issues regarding ethics regarding both human and non-human life. A series that makes you reflect on decisions you make as an individual and as a human existing on earth. Thought provoking, never shying away from 'taboo' subjects

Typical Tim Burton movie (1 more)
If you're a fan of the book, this may have too many (unnecessary) changes.
I love Tim Burton but I feel like he's been in too much of a rut with his last couple movies and I think that can be felt in this movie. Additionally, I don't feel the changes that were made to the story actually made the film any better. If you're a big fan of the book like I am and you haven't seen this yet, set your expectations a little lower and maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did.
Chelsea (449 KP) rated Neverwhere in Books
Sep 7, 2017
Gaiman wrote this book because he felt adults deserved a story similar to how Alice in Wonderland was written for kids. I love this explanation!
"Dear Diary, he began. On Friday I had a job, a fiancée, a home, and a life that made sense. (Well, as much as any life makes sense.) Then I found an injured girl bleeding on the pavement, and I tried to be a Good Samaritan. Now I’ve got no fiancée, no home, no job, and I’m walking around a couple of hundred feet under the streets of London with the projected life expectancy of a suicidal mayfly."

The best Disney Pixar franchise ever
I love this film, and I'm not afraid to admit it. It's beautiful, heartwarming and utterly amusing to watch. I still remember seeing it the first time and being completely mesmerised by the new style graphics. And the story was an update from the usual Brothers Grimm fairy tales , modernised for its young viewers living in the 1990s. Woody and Buzz have the best partnership on screen, and it's one of those rare trilogies where every single film was brilliant. Massive kudos to Disney Pixar.

May 25, 2018
Even if you've seen the movie - I still recommend reading the story! It's a sonnet to true friends, and family (especially mother-daughter dynamics), the scars of abusive relationships, and how these all intertwined can shape and change everyone involved. It's also funny! :)
Siddalee delves into her mothers past, curious about the Ya-Ya Sisters and their secrets. She finds out so much about her mother, and in addition, about herself. Her mother just might grow up a little along the way as well.
I love the Ya-Ya stories and I re-read them often, hoping Rebecca Wells might just write another!
