Megan (14 KP) rated To All The Boys I've Loved Before (2018) in Movies
Sep 10, 2018
One of my favourite films now
I had already heard of the book and very interested in reading it (and hopefully will soon) so I had an idea of what the film would be about. I was not disappointed whatsoever, it is a loving and cute storyline.
With Lara Jean (Lana Condor) being so adorable especially made the character come to life of how innocent and oblivious she is to the signs that Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) likes her.
It is unbelievably cute the way that they are together and how they try to convince themselves that it is all “fake”.
Although, it may be perceived as unrealistic (which is definitely is) it is still amazing and I would definitely watch it again and recommend other people do too.
And I mean, c’mon, Noah Centineo ?

Ok. So while this movie was definitely entertaining, it had a lot of flaws that brought any believability down. The film work and acting were good and the stori was definitely an interesting concept. But things like trained guards not being able to hit the broad side of a barn with their weapons(except to kill an innocent bystander) but the protagonist can't miss? Or the fact that the "programmers" of the AI people didn't include a fail safe in case one got out of their high security facility to shut down or something? Also, the Robocop-esque scene where the AI can't hurt the head of the company(THAT fail safe was included)was predictable, as was the final scene. Not to mention it made for a bit of a weak ending. Anyway, all that being said, the movie was enjoyable enough ti watch through to the end and played out well. It also posed some interesting questions as to the morality side of technology use by us humans. Overall this one is worth a watch.

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
Raj dishonoured his family by going to America to chase a woman he has fallen in love with. Will he get his happily ever after?
First off, let me say yes, I know it says it's an erotic book. It really is. It certainly made me blush in parts, as well as wanting to say aww bless as he is so innocent. It just proves how different cultures work.
I read it as if Raj was talking, as that's how it seems to be written. Not sure if it was intentional but it works. It's not a story that I would read again but I enjoyed it.

The Sword of Destiny ( Witcher saga book 2)
By Andrzej Sapkowski
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers and lifelong training have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary killer: he hunts the vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil; not everything fair is good . . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.
This was pretty average and what you’d expect from Gerald’s adventures. The last section The Sword of Destiny was more interesting as he’s meeting Ciri for the first time.
It was an ok read. Think it just lacked a little something for me.

Sue (5 KP) rated Vlad-Handing (Silver Hills Cozy Mysteries, #5) in Books
Apr 23, 2018
Vlad-Handing is book 5 in the Silver Hills Cozy Mystery series. It is set in a singles/retirement residency (think 55 and older) filled with an eccentric cast of characters. This time around, Flo and Agnes find themselves trying to prove that manager Vlad Newsome, who many consider a reprehensible creature of the night, is innocent of murder. The only problem is that these ladies are a not 100% sure that Vlad isn’t the murderer.
Flo and Agnes are two ladies that you would love to call your friends. They are laugh out loud funny adding comedy to a terrific cozy mystery that will have you in stitches until the end. I highly suggest starting out with book 1 Dose Vidanya and reading the books in order. While these books can be read stand alone, the cast of characters build as each book in the series continues.

In my top 5 Marvel movies

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because I did not care for the Baron Zemo angle. His reason for revenge was related to his family getting killed due to the actions of the Avengers. In the comics Zemo was a power and despot that was on the same level as Captain America when it comes to battle. This story was similar to the story arc in the Civil War comics. The government wants to control heroes because innocent people get killed in their battles trying to save mankind. The last battle they had with Ultron was the catalyst for the Sokovia accords. Oversight by the allied nations. We finally see Cap and Bucky reunited as friends but it is a little tricky at first. Bucky gets blamed for a terrorist action that he is innocent of. Zemo gets a hold of a old Hydra book that was used to brainwash Bucky and he uses it again on Bucky to carry out his plan. The "Civil War" begins when Tony agrees with oversight from the UN and Cap disagrees. The highligjt for me is seeing Spider-Man finally in the MCU. The action was great, the story was great and it had a profound impact on the MCU. It ended with Tony and Steve not being the best of friends and you see that affect in Infinity War. This movie is highly recommended by me
