Exceptional Drama
I saw the trailer for this some time ago and told myself i would watch it at some point. Well i started season 1 ten days ago and I am already half way through season 3. Its dark gritty and if you like drug cartel related programs then this is for you. What i liked particularly is that the story of Pablo Escobar unfolds for the first two seasons both through the eyes of the DEA and through Pablo himself. We get to find out what he was like as a man and a trafficker. Its an excellent watch, definitely recommended

My dad won’t stop watching this movie
I saw it when I first came out. Good date movie, but my boyfriend and I agreed that while the music is very good, it does not fit the time period of the story being told. Especailly the song “Never Enough”, the renoun surrounding the greatest soprano in Europe and she’s singing a simplistic pop ballad when she should be singing an aria. I love Pasek and Paul, and I think the cinematography is amazing and I love the blocking in the song between Efron and Jackman. But the verisimilitude was not there because of the incongruity of the songs and the story.

If you start reading this book you won't stop!this book is written like a conversation between two people. It will guide you through the biggest questions of life and gives you an easy way to see solutions for problems in life with the '' Adler psychology '' - fo everyone who doesn't know it Adler was a great psychologist, same time as Freud and saw life a bit different. Long story short : everything can be changed - the opposite of Freud who thought what happened to you as a child will define the rest of your life.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Night of the Living Rerun (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 1, #2) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Utterly terrible, boring, and cliche. The plot involves the Salem Witch Trials, reincarnation, and zombies, which I'm not saying can't work, it just didn't with this one. Not one thing or person in this book bore any resemblance to those in the series, other than using the same names, and the dialogue was beyond awkward. I'm not even sure the author ever saw the show. Everything was so cardboard. No, I'm wrong, it was far worse than that, more like cardboard that had been out in a torrential downpour. For a week. Gross, soggy, mushy cardboard. Filled with rat turds. Not recommended at all.

This was by far the best so far, she has overcome so much and it got a little dark what with her best friend trying to kill her and nearly succeeding as she had died for a min but not long enough for her soul to leave and go to the shadowland as when she got hit in her weak chakra she saw her life flash before her eyes and rectified her way of thinking, realising how wrong she had been ergo saving herself from an eternity of nothing.
Really looking forward to the final instalment as I am eager to see just what is encroaching on summerland.

A NA book that takes gorey details and makes sure you can picture it in your mind. This was not at all what I was expecting when I first saw the cover and began the book. Right away you are thrown into vivid details about murder and blood. It continues through the whole book.
The story is well thought out and has many dimensions that continue to influence it. While I do not understand how this could be considered a YA.
I think those who enjoy more gore, detail, and a story that is focused on darker aspects of vampirism will enjoy this story.

Funny and heartwarming
So went and saw Shazam! last night and you know what I FREAKING LOVED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF IT! Seriously it was funny, heartwarming and an all around amazing movie! I went in not knowing what to expect since Shazam! is the first superhero movie I've ever seen that I knew nothing about the character ahead of time. Definitely my favorite recent DC movie❤⚡? and that is saying something because I adored Wonder Woman and really enjoyed Aquaman. I'm really glad that DC movies finally seem to be finding their stride because it has been a long time coming.

Compared to many Slashers I've seen lately, and that's quite a lot, this was pretty good. From the same director as the Wishmaster and starring Tobin Bell of the Saw films. It is a bit slow building up to the kills, but when they come they are quite gory and different to the norm. A bunch of uni friends head out to one of the kids big house out in the desert looked after by the creepy caretaker. The house has a dark history involving a family curse, gold and murder. Good production value and a decent cast raise this above most straight to DVD slashers.

Would I recommend it all the same? Absolutely!
