Awix (3310 KP) rated How the West Was Won (1963) in Movies
Jun 24, 2021
At least partly sold on the sheer number of stars involved, but in the end there's hardly any John Wayne, not much more Jimmy Stewart, and probably a bit more George Peppard than you'd honestly care for. It's quite naive, sentimental stuff, in many ways, and the technical side-effects of it being shot in VistaVision are very obvious. There's some magnificent photography, the odd effective cameo, and very occasionally a moving moment - but too often this is stodgy and episodic rather than a stirring saga.
Lee KM Pallatina (951 KP) rated Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) in Movies

This was the Suicide Squad of the star wars universe, only better characters, better story and people kinda enjoyed it.
It had its usual great VFX but a more darker grittier tone which worked well with the story.
Unfortunately this movie didn't even have any of the good scenes from the trailer which one can only assume ended up on the cutting floor.

Lights out Liverpool (Pearl Street #1)
By Maureen Lee
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The folk of one small Liverpool street cope with the first year of World War II. They find the war affects each of them in a different way. One woman worries about her twin sons who are called up, another is liberated from a loveless marriage, whilst Jessica Fleming's life is changed irrevocably.
I love a good saga! This one kind of hit home with the start of WW2 and in comparison to what we are dealing with now and it’s quite frightening to think of what they were facing and the loss that was felt. It was a little heartwarming to read and have a break from my usual reads.
