Blurry Cgi scenes (1 more)
Not much action
Ooh Bats
Pretty standard, run of the mill action film. Falling well short of the majority of Marvel films. It's short, doesn't have a great deal of action scenes. When they pop up it's with a lot of blurry Cgi at speed. You just don't really care about any of the characters to be honest. Jared Leto brings a bit of quality to the film. Otherwise it feels like a mix of bits of other films. Not one that will last long in your memory.

Funhouse
By Diane Hoh
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There are loads of great rides at the amusement park. The Devil's Elbow is the favourite, and always packed. When it flies off its rails, it causes a terrible accident. But Tess isn't so sure it was an accident. Someone knows what she saw, and someone is out to shut her up.
This is one of my favourites from Diane Hoh and the Point horrors. I’m tea enjoying this trip down memory lane. I really don’t like fairground rides.

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!

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Eyewall in Books

How often does hubris put people at risk? More often than you think. Although [Eyewall] by [H.W. Bernard] is a work of fiction it is grounded in fact. Facts that the weather service is not always right, that some people feel their areas are immune to disaster because none happened in their memory, and that the media serves it's own interests.
All these facts lead to an harrowing trip into the eye of a category five hurricane. What these people do to survive and the lessons learned by them should not be lost on us a a larger society. I very enjoyable read.

Jenny Houle (24 KP) rated Be Like Bill in Books
Jan 13, 2018
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley for an unbiased opinion.
"Be Like Bill", as anyone with a Facebook account already knows, was one of the biggest memes to hit in 2016. I wish I remember what mine said at the time, but it has fallen out of memory, as, sadly, has "Be Like Bill". Entertaining in the moment, but soon forgotten, BE LIKE BILL is a collection of the memes created at the time. I laughed out loud at several, but if you asked me ten minutes later which were my favorites, I honestly couldn't tell you.

Awix (3310 KP) rated After Life (Wandafaru Raifu) (1998) in Movies
May 14, 2019 (Updated May 15, 2019)
Curious, gentle comedy-drama fantasy. Newly-dead entrants to the next world must choose their most important memory, as this is all they will take with them into eternity. Those who cannot make the choice remain in limbo, helping those who can (it's a bit like the civil service).
Big themes, obviously, but handled with a very light, naturalistic touch; the machinery of the afterlife has a charmingly shambolic feel to it. Initially seems like a series of quiet character studies, before an understatedly moving story develops between two of the staff. Thought-provoking and rather beautiful.

Sound Cast
Wow, just wow...
What can i say about this fantastic tv show? The first season shocked the world by becoming a massive hit with sci-fi and horror fans alike. This young cast has amazing chemistry and the writers created something special. It took me on a trip down memory lane reminding me of things like the goonies and stand by me crossed over with alien and poltergeist. Season 2 picks up exactly where season 1 ended and continues to deliver a cracking story and I look forward to what these guys can do next.

Last night a conversation on the way home about children’s tv shows was completed by a walk down memory lane courtesy of YouTube who allowed us to listen to our favourite tv theme tunes.
Ads are far more prevalent than they were.

Kim Pook (101 KP) rated Tell Me Who I Am (2019) in Movies
Oct 30, 2019
This is a documentary about identical twin brothers Alex and Marcus. Alex had an accident and completely lost his memory, and only recognised Marcus. Marcus helped Alex with his lost memories, unfortunately many of these memories were false and the lies were kept up for years. It may sound like a huge betrayal but when you watch you will understand why. Without spoiling it i went through many emotions, happy at first but as the story progressed i felt shocked and even angry at Marcus but by the end i just felt sad. It's worth a watch but prepare for the emotional rollercoaster.
