Dean (6927 KP) rated Léon: The Professional (1994) in Movies
Feb 5, 2018
Classic Action Film
I have finally got round to seeing this and watched the extended version. This is a great film about the relationship between a Hitman and a 12 year old girl left orphaned after her family is killed. It is violent without being too graphic or brutal. This is nothing like your typical action, assassin film and has some great scenes between the two lead characters. A little strange but a classic and I'm not surprised it has reached a cult status.

The first three-quarters of this book was brilliant. The scenes were set perfectly, the suspense was building to crazy proportions and my heart was racing at times. The book was let down by it's ending and the introduction of Vic. I wanted there to be a twist, the first one, where we learn of the relationship between Ashley and Mark was good and unexpected, but the second one, the addition of Vic, was poor and ineffective. A pretty good book overall but could've been better.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Vincent and Theo: The Van Gogh Brothers in Books
Nov 26, 2018
I read this book last year, and since reading it, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Van Gogh is my favorite artist, and I love reading everything and anything about him. This book focuses on the relationship between Theo and Vincent, and uses several letters that they wrote back and forth. This book also didn't hold back some details, such as multiple mentions of the fact they both had syphilis. So, it doesn't shy away from these details, which I appreciate.

Elli H Burton (1288 KP) rated The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) in Movies

The worst out of them all.
If you see my review on the first film you will know the Twilight saga is my guilty pleasure. Acting is probably worse than the first film and the story is just stupid. It's like this film is made JUST to put a hiccup in Bella and Edwards relationship needlessly. Pointless film of the saga and yet, as I type, I'm actually watching it LOL

EmersonRose (320 KP) rated The Princess Diarist in Books

This is one of those books I have been meaning to read for a while. It was a lot of fun to get some background on Carrie as well as tidbits on some of my other faves such as Debbie Reynolds, Mark Hamil, and Harrison Ford. The book is mostly about Carrie’s relationship with Harrison during the filming of the first film. I really liked hearing Carrie describe her life in the audiobook and it was fun that Billie Lourd also narrated some of the journal entries.
