Andy K (10823 KP) rated Roots in TV
Mar 17, 2018
The modern standard for a TV mini-series. The original Roots was compelling in every way.
The acting and production values were first rate, but the story is what kept you engaged and coming back for more.
The brutality and inhumanity of slavery will never be repeated at this level and all of us should learn the lessons of treating each other with respect and dignity.

Wow, this was a beautiful graphic novel. I fell in love with the illustration. The sepia tones with the red highlights were beautiful.
This is a good companion graphic novel to "Interview with the Vampire". I found myself fascinated with the illustrations and the quotes from the original novel. I'm glad that I bought the hardcover novel because it is going to be a book that I'm going to show off.

Savage
This is such an original idea. The novel is set in a post apocalypse of sorts, where violent acts create physical monsters that terrorise a divided city. I've never read anything like it before; it was brilliantly written, and left me wanting more from the characters (I'm just starting on the sequel, and can't wait to see what August and Kate are up to now!).
Dean (6927 KP) rated Prom Night (2008) in Movies

Firstly no way is this a remake of the original 1980 slasher. They are both called Prom Night and that is it, the stories are totally different! The other problem is this is classed as a horror but only a PG-13?! Pretty straight forward slasher stuff, not scary or gory but done on a big budget. Watch the 80's one it was only just slightly better!
Joelene Marie (28 KP) rated All the Birds in the Sky in Books

Beautifully written and completely original yet not so far fetched as to be totally unbelievable. Character driven and focused on the relationships between them as well as between humans and nature. I couldn't put it down and read it in one day unfortunately, as it was one of those rare and magical stories that I never wanted to end. I hope to see a sequel in the future. Highly recommended!!

Another decent Netflix original!
Another good addition to the Netflix originals! Love supernatural films and this popped up on my ones to watch! Plot was not what I expected when I watched and left me wanting more. A couple of moments where I really did jump kept me on the edge of suspense.
The actors/actresses have done an amazing job and will be looking for more of their work.

Blew me away
I really did not expect to enjoy this film as much as I did. I have never seen the original versions so I don't know how it compares but I really loved this film. The acting and singing is so good from Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. This film just draws you in and make sure you have some tissues handy. I absolutely loved it.
Erika (17789 KP) rated My Plain Jane: The Lady Janies Book 2 in Books
Oct 28, 2018
This was an entertaining riff on Jane Eyre. As with the first book in the 'Lady Janies' trilogy, there are three main characters that cycle through the chapters. I liked that Charlotte Bronte herself was one of the narrators. It followed fairly closely to the original in the beginning, with a few deviations, as would be expected. It was largely predictable, but I didn't mind because I was entertained.
