Dean (6927 KP) rated Arrival (2016) in Movies

Amy Adams (1 more)
Original spin on Alien contact
It's life Jim but not as we know it
I saw this at the cinema and must admit it wasn't what I expected. More of a thinking persons Sci-fi film. It has some interesting ideas and Amy Adams is brilliant. However I think it's one a lot of people might not understand. One that will divide opinion.
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated The Dinner (2017) in Movies
May 4, 2017
The four-handed set-up (though other characters, and a number of wobbly flashbacks, intrude) may well recall Yasmina Reza’s acrid couple-combat in her play God of Carnage. If you thought that foursome were rotten eggs, get a load of this lot.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Finding Dory (2016) in Movies
May 7, 2017
Great animation (2 more)
The short story before the film is technically amazing
Good fun and humour for all ages
Fish this one out
It's been an age since Finding Nemo, so it's great to see some of the characters again. The detail in the animation is great. It has some funny new characters especially the Octopus. If you like the original, who doesn't? You'll like this.
BookCritics (259 KP) rated The Twelves Lives of Samuel Hawley in Books
May 15, 2017
What ultimately made this book a story that will resonate with me was the ambience of the narration. As a fan of Claire Fuller‘s prose and story telling I can heartily recommend Hannah Tinti‘s The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley..

BookCritics (259 KP) rated Difficult Women in Books
May 16, 2017
This book completely wreck me and validated my feelings, all at the same time. I can’t think of a woman that won’t relate to some of the garbage situations that the women in these book have to deal with, regardless of class, race, or sexual orientation.

Robz H (21 KP) rated Howl's Moving Castle (2004) in Movies
May 24, 2017
Audio available in original Japanese, but also a magnificent English dub (3 more)
An excellent adaption of a brilliant book
The music. Oh my beating heart.
English dub specific: you CANNOT go wrong with Billy Crystal.
IMO: The very best of Studio Ghibli.
Such a delightful movie. Everything about it makes me happy, or content, or understanding of the world, or takes the edge off whatever is bothering me IRL.
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated City Of Ghosts (2017) in Movies
May 31, 2017
The footage is brutal and often hard to watch (the executions are horrifying and the indoctrination of children is plain sinister). The film excels at portraying the danger the reporters face and the value of the information they get out of the country.

if you are one of those who are fans of Resident Evil game, I believed that watching this movie would definitely be really worthwhile. Now if you have not played the game, but you enjoy watching zombie killing movie, then this one is definitely an option.

I may not have fallen in love with the characters of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but I was mesmerized by the story. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer capable of weaving a multifaceted tale. I loved her writing style

BookCritics (259 KP) rated The Hundredth Queen in Books
Jun 2, 2017
As soon as I started reading, I wanted to stay. In fact, I knew this book would get five stars from me on chapter six. Not much had happened yet, but I was already in love with Emily R. King’s writing style. It’s effortless, but vivid
