Auburn (57 KP) rated An Affair of Poisons in Books

Apr 10, 2019

I am not usually a fan of anything history based but this book blew me away. In a read it in one sitting as fast as you can to find out what happens. The enemies to lovers added into a well thought out plot based on an actual time and person in the best of ways.
If you enjoy a tale filled with not just redemption but also pain, longing, and a universal acknowledgement that some things are your fault but growth can be had than this book is for you. Part romance but all heart.

It doesn't get much better than The Raid "Redemption" and its sequel, The Raid 2 in terms of non-stop action, but still an interesting plot. You will be glued to your seat from the word go as you not only try and figure out where the story is going, but also enjoy the extremely impressive, realistic choreography. Also, given the indoor, stifling sets, it makes the action that much better.

It kind of reminded me of the new "Dredd" film with Karl Urban in plot, but that is not a complaint.

Highly recommended for action film fans.

Andrew Kennedy (199 KP) rated The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) in Movies

I love the Muppets.
This film is the best of many retellings of Dickens classic ghost tale.
Gonzo is my favourite as Charles Dickens, his narration along with Rizzlo the rat is humorous and fun.
Kermit as Bob Crachit as the lead book keeper is amusing and his team of rats are hilarious.
Michael Caine plays Scrooge who's path of redemption is believable as he is visted by three ghosts who show Scrooge the errors of his ways.
Also, the songs are catchy.
Disney tried other versions but none can top this one. A true Christmas classic to watch every year.
