Andy K (10823 KP) rated Creed (2015) in Movies
Jun 15, 2019
Creed initially has desire to make a name for himself on his own terms trying to disown his father's legacy. When it is discovered who he truly is, he is forced to embrace his family's tradition in order to secure an important early fight in his career.
The film hit all the generic plot points for a movies like this with n huge surprises, but that is not a complaint. The characters are well written and the dialogue seems genuine. It's great to see Stallone resurrect the role that made him a star in 1976 with a freshness which is exuded while he takes on his new pupil.
It;s hard to believe so much time has passed since we have seen Rocky and how his life has changed in the process. He seems like a broken man having outlived all the people which meant most to him in his life.
The boxing scenes are well put together and grounded in reality having some real professionals onscreen like famous sportscasters and boxing personalities.
You are never bored while watching and thoroughly entertained by the training montages.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Starfish Pier (Hope Harbor #6) in Books
Feb 24, 2021
I loved Starfish Pier by Irene Hannon. From the characters to the setting, it drew me in and made me feel at home from the very beginning. Starfish Pier is part of the Hope Harbor series (I believe book #6) but it can be read as a standalone. All the books are just based in the same town, so you get to see previous and future characters interwoven throughout the series; I think it is a lot like some of the series Debbie Macomber has written.
Holly and Steven were a great combination of characters. Each one had a unique viewpoint, some very different personalities, and struggles to overcome. I loved Holly’s outlook on life, she was always reaching out to others to try and help make their days better even when she was not having a good day herself. Now Steven. I loved his strength, his selflessness, and his willingness to put others before his happiness. His character is someone I could know in real life.
The themes in this book were quite varied, from depression, physical disabilities, overcoming addiction, protection of life… So many thought-provoking arguments were brought forth in this book, and both sides of the arguments were presented, which I thought was interesting. Plus, you cannot forget the yummy Tacos and advice!
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the in-depth characters, varied themes, and the love of Tacos! I recommend reading this book!
