Georgina DeBurca (2 KP) rated C791 (Cyborgs: More Than Machines, #1) in Books
Jan 29, 2018
Got this whilst it was free on promotion. It was a good enough premise but I think, for once, I'd liked to have had a bit more story and a little less sex. It was good, but a sex scene or two could have been removed and replaced with deeper character development, or perhaps none sexual interaction. For that reason and the reason that I saw several errors in the book, ie words jumbled in a few sentences, I gave it 4 stars. I might be a little generous but it was a good storyline and I enjoyed it.

It's the beginning of summer, and things are hoping in Pickax County. They are breaking ground for a new bookstore and the town of Brrr is celebrating 200 years. Oh yeah, and a body is found on Qwill's property. But since none of the characters seem to care about that, the mystery kind of whimpers along. If you love the characters, you'll enjoy the book, but there's hardly any plot. Par for the course for the later books of the series.

Disappointing.
I read this on holiday, was intrigued by the plot and was expecting it to be tense, erotic, shocking and thrilling, yet I found none of it. After finishing the book, I put it down and it was a 'is that it?' moment, I couldn't quite believe I'd read the whole thing, it hadn't seemed go anywhere exciting.
The book itself is well written and the characters are interesting, and individually make for a good story, but merge them all into one and you get nothing too exciting.
The book's been done before, that's all I can say.

He is actually six-five, with the afro, six-nine.
Every scene is a complete classic.
One of my favorite comedies of all time and my favorite Chevy Chase film shows him as a newspaper reporter who is hired by a man to kill him. Through Fletch's enterprising investigation, he discovers all sorts of things about his employer, none of which are good.
Chase's many disguises, iterations and quips makes this film a true classic and a movie I could watch over and over again.
So glad they never made, "Fletch Won."

A messed up kind of love story but a love story none the less.
True Romance is one of those movies that was really sad that I didn't know about it sooner especially since I grew up on Tarantino movies. From start to finish it really is just a damn good movie with a surprisingly good love story mixed in with all the blood and drugs. There's a hell of a lot of action a really good story amazing characters and just the over-the-top violence that you come to expect from these type of movies.
Lee (2222 KP) rated Searching (2018) in Movies
Sep 15, 2018
The search for a missing daughter unfolds before our eyes on a computer screen, pulling together clues and information from social media and messaging services. While there have been a couple of decent horror movies recently employing this method of storytelling, none of them have been as effective as this. Edge of seat, intense drama with a few twists and turns towards the end. This may have gripped me a lot more than it normally would, as I have a daughter in her early teens, just starting to build an online life of her own, but wow this movie was amazing!

Spooky Movie
Contains spoilers, click to show
Wow, this was a spooky film with bangs and a creepy masked man called John. I want to know more about this character it seems he had a troubled upbringing or something. What crept me is that he was watching the family the whole time they came out to his old home for a vacation and he was planning something sinister. But I want to know how he got up and was okay from getting axed in the back is he another Jason Vorhees. Will there be a second film?
Andrew Kennedy (199 KP) rated The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) in Movies
Dec 10, 2019
I love the Muppets.
This film is the best of many retellings of Dickens classic ghost tale.
Gonzo is my favourite as Charles Dickens, his narration along with Rizzlo the rat is humorous and fun.
Kermit as Bob Crachit as the lead book keeper is amusing and his team of rats are hilarious.
Michael Caine plays Scrooge who's path of redemption is believable as he is visted by three ghosts who show Scrooge the errors of his ways.
Also, the songs are catchy.
Disney tried other versions but none can top this one. A true Christmas classic to watch every year.
