Respectful yet still new
This Sherlock Holmes variant is wonderful. The team that has created this series has truly respected the essence and artistry of the original stories of Holmes and Watson by Arthur Conan Doyle and yet found a way to make them fresh, approachable, and almost addicting, to the modern audience.
MissCagey (2652 KP) rated Speed 2 - Cruise Control (1997) in Movies

This review is probably going to ruin any reputation I may have! I actually thought this was better than the original ?. I felt there was a lot more action than the first. Patric is not as engaging as Reeves was in Speed but still does an ok job. Dafoe is great as the loose cannon. Sorry everyone!
Sandra Vanderstelt (16 KP) rated The First Rule of Ten (A Tenzing Norbu Mystery, #1) in Books

Ten is an original character as in he is an ex-monk, ex-cop turned PI. This concept is what caught my attention when the post from our local bookstore came across my FB feed.
I was not disappointed when I finished book one immediately purchased books two and three.
I hope you enjoy Ten as much I do.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Blindspot - Season 1 in TV
May 23, 2018
Very original drama, where each episode sees one of the strange tattoos on "Jane Doe"'s body reveal an imminent terror threat, or unravel corporate greed. The effort put into the tattoo puzzles was excellent and felt like they were solved with genuine effort. The emerging underlying plot and identifying who Jane might really be added an extra dimension.

A classic
I still love this story after countless readings and about as many reboots. Few are unfamiliar with the story, which lends itself well to contemporary retellings. But I enjoy revisiting the original now and then. It's a very quick read, and one of my favorite ghost stories and tales of redemption. If Scrooge can change, who can't?

Toned down and having to open up with a new plot and antagonists, since the original fortune hunters are now all dead, this one does retread the same ground but still, it entertaining.
The costumes have become more tame, as has the overall feel, but it delivers the formula and is now becoming quite practiced at it.

Micky Barnard (542 KP) rated Libby, by OverDrive in Apps

Reliable and easy to use
I prefer Libby to the original overdrive app for reading and listening to my library books. Passages can now be highlighted in the ebooks on Libby. Audio is easy to navigate and bookmark. Browsing for books and audios are easy.
One downside is that the books/audios download automatically, I’d rather choose.

Good genre blender
A decent Horror, Thriller mash up as a group of kidnappers get more than they bargained for. For a low budget film the effects are OK, the story is good with a decent twist. If you don't mind something off the main stream for your horror thrills then check this out.
