Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated V is for Virgin (V is for Virgin, #1) in Books

Jan 8, 2021

I've made it a mission to read all of Kelly Oram's books after falling in love with a few but I've found that they can be pretty hit or miss. This one was strangely OK; i loved Kyle but he might have gone about things a little wrong, whereas the hype surrounding Val after her admission to being a Virgin just seemed ridiculously overblown. I can't see any of that happening in real life.

That end bit though has me very intrigued. I want them to get together so badly so I'm off to get [b:A is for Abstinence|22089601|A is for Abstinence (V is for Virgin #2)|Kelly Oram|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1436992812s/22089601.jpg|40801675]

The Last One

Taken 3 or Ta3en is a good film, but should of never been 2 sequels but their was. This is the final one hopefully.

The plot: Ex-covert operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) and his ex-wife, Lenore (Famke Janssen), are enjoying a reconciliation when Lenore is brutally murdered. Bryan is framed for the crime and flees, with the CIA, FBI and police all in hot pursuit. For the last time, he channels his rage and particular set of skills into hunting down Lenore's real killers, taking his revenge and protecting the one important thing left in his life: his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace).

I just recordmend watching the first one.

Corey Feldman recommended Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) in Movies (curated)

"I’m a big kid, I’m a kid at heart, so I still love the classic family films, such as the great Warner Bros film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory — not the remake, but the original. It’s still one of the best movies, hands down, ever made, and of course that goes back to the ingenuity of the characters and the storyline. [Producer] David Wolper did such an amazing job bringing it to life, and Gene Wilder gave such an amazing performance. The songs, the music, the colors, the scope — it was just brilliant and really lead you to a fantasy world that didn’t exist, but that we could all imagine was real."

Out Ta Get Me by Guns N' Roses

(0 Ratings)

Track

"An absolute fucking testament to paranoia, to anger, and to blame. It's fantastic. 'They're out to get me, they won't catch me, I'm fucking innocent'... that's just fucking brilliant, absolutely brilliant. It's a youth anthem. Things like this weren't really addressed: the paranoia of it all. The dark side of life wasn't really looked at in rock, apart from theatrically, with Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper. It wasn't really looked at sociologically, and in my opinion Guns N' Roses were one of the first bands to tackle it properly. All the fantasies and romanticism that had gone before were there, but there was also a gritty side to it. The comedown side to it. The real side to it."

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) in Movies

Jun 28, 2019

John Wick: Chapter 3 is every bit as awesome and fun as you'd expect. If a dog is a man's, and woman's, best friend then John Wick is a hitman's worst enemy. This poster represents one of my favorite aspects of the movie, the lighting. Just took an already kickass movie to the next level. Like a library book, John Wick can check you out of this life real quick. And as expected, Chapter 3 has plenty of horsepower. Scrape up whatever coin you have for a ticket, cause if you're wondering whether you should see the third installment of one of the best action franchises this century the answer is simply this, yeah.

Book Rating

Rust & Stardust is based on the real-life kidnapping of 11-year-old Sally Horner in 1948. Desperate to appease her friends, Horner is pressured into stealing a notebook from a local shop. At this time, she has no idea she's being watched by Frank LaSalle, who abducts her after pretending to be an FBI agent.

This story is disturbing, heart-breaking, and such a mind-blowing historical novel. It really is the kind of book parents should NOT read because it's likely to send them over the edge (or maybe make them more vigilant? who knows.) Though it was not a happy book, I still enjoyed it's historical side and would definitely recommend to my friends.
