Dean (6927 KP) rated Jurassic Park III (2001) in Movies
Jun 5, 2018
Panned by critics upon release, this is still a very enjoyable film. It is the weakest of the 3, the story is not the best or most original. The ending also feels like it was rushed and happens very abruptly. However there are still very few films with such convincing dinosaurs in them and the effects are great. Just a pity there wasn't a bit more of the T-rex fight near the start. Sit back and enjoy the visuals.

It's Fine, But Could Have Been More
Let's be clear: I really wanted this movie to be good. The cast is awesokme, and the original Oceans movies were great. But the plot just falls short. There is no major conflict, and no intensity at all. If it were a Greek plot line, it would be a line. No rising action, no climax.
Is it worth seeing once? Sure! Is it worth paying a bunch of money for, probably not.

Sequal as good as the original
Nazarian’s sequal to Qualify is a fascinating look at a journey through space for the teenagers who qualified to escape Earth and travel to Atlantis. The novel provides more character development for the mysterious prince of Atlantis. The writings ebbs and flows with the excitement of special events and the monotony of space, which is appropriate for the setting. The world of the spaceship the characters are in is well fleshed out and unique.

Sooooooo crazy, and I definitely finished it with a giant WTF look on my face, but it was awesome to see most of the original actors back in roles that made many of them famous in the first place. I'm planning to watch it again as soon as I can to pick up on little things I may have missed upon first viewing. David Lynch says it's best viewed as a marathon, so I may take a couple sick days...

Wow looking so outdated now, and Virtual reality is barely used these days. Didn't take off like it was predicted. This is based on a short story by Stephen King, surprised to see a young Pierce Brosnan in this. The graphics for the virtual reality scenes look like an arcade game from the era. It's not very original, yet some how got a sequel a few years later. For a good film about Virtual reality check out the much better eXistenZ!
Hayley Hornibrook (48 KP) rated Innocent Traitor in Books

Alison is my favourite historical author - her characters are as close to their true stories as fiction can possibly allow them to be. She can get inside the time period and their heads to take the reader on an emotional and exciting journey. It is the plight of Tudor women she does this with best; and the two books about Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey are my favourites. I have loved devouring her books - easy reads and original twists.

This Netflix original action comedy stars the comedic trio from "Workaholics". The cinematography was good. The acting and storyline was pretty much what you'd expect from this group. There is some sexual and drug use content and a few gross violence scenes so this one really isn't for kids. If you're into "weird and goofy" comedies you'll enjoy this one. There are quite a few familiar comedic faces, as well. I'd say it's worth a watch if you're REALLY bored.

Great Movie, Great Send Off
Everyone knows this is the end of Wolverine and Hugh Jackman's last round at the role. It sort of dampens the mood of the whole film. Still the surprises, twists, and turns are worth it. This is an excellent movie, probably my favorite since the original. And in the end, it is definitely emotional and worth every minute you've invested in the XMen galaxy.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Robin Hood (2018) in Movies
Nov 21, 2018 (Updated Mar 25, 2019)
I thought this new iteration of Robin Hood was going to be awful, much like @King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword (2017) . BUT, I was pleasantly surprised. I was entertained throughout, and the action was good. The film didn't stray far from the original bones of the story, which was a good thing. Taron Egerton did well as Robin, and, Ben Mendelsohn is completely menacing. I won't be surprised if this film isn't a lot of people's jams, but I still completely enjoyed it.

So seeing reviews of this on Facebook from my US friends and seeing clips on YouTube has blown my mind. I am invested, who is behind the masks? We may have spent more time than sensible discussing this but this is a great fun concept.
It’s dragging out far too long on US screens (the original did it better) but the only really question now is....
When and where will it air in the UK
