David McK (3713 KP) rated The Royalist (William Falkland #1) in Books
Apr 18, 2022
Set during the period of the English Civil Wars, I have to say that I found this to be rather unusual in that it is not about (per se) the wars themselves: rather, it is set in the New Model Army camp over a winter period, between hostilities, with William Falkland (the Royalist of the title) plucked from his prison cell by none other than Oliver Cromwell himself and sent to investigate reports of suicides/disturbances in the camp.
Reading very much like a ECW version of a whodunnit, with the author - in the afterword - not at all shy to point out the influences of the hard-boiled detective hero/film noir of the 40s (think Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler) on this work.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Game Of Thrones - Season 4 in TV
Jul 10, 2017
The show has the blood and gore that a show set during the medieval period would expect to have. There are also some new wrinkles sprinkled into some of these battles, particularly the one at the Wall

Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Stoner: A Novel in Books
Jul 30, 2017
Simple, classy, beautifully written
This subdued simple novel about a man named William Stoner is gloriously poignant and subtle to the extreme. His career as a professor, despite his humble beginnings, and his role as a father and husband is punctuated throughout with small changes and crises. It's a gorgeous piece of literature, reminiscent of American period pieces.

Andy K (10823 KP) rated All About Eve (1950) in Movies
Mar 5, 2018
A classic
You see so many influences on other films in this 1950 classic tale of rising and falling stardom in Hollywood and the constant attention toward youth.
Maybe not as visually interesting as other films of the period like Citizen Kane or Sunset Boulevard. The screenplay, characters and acting are enough to carry this film through.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Black Widow Vol. 1: S.H.I.E.L.D.'S Most Wanted: Volume 1 in Books
Feb 19, 2018
I loved the art in this volume. I was glad that after the Warzones period, Black Widow was given her own series again (briefly). There's again the theme of Natasha's secrets, which stems, i believe, from MCU's Captain America: Winter Soldier. Again, this was a good idea to attempt to get people interested in the comics.
