"C’mon. Is every scene in this movie perfect? Yes. I could watch this movie over and over on a loop. Actually, I’m pretty sure they do that on cable. It plays quite a bit. Meg Ryan is nothing short of magical in this performance. And the time lapses are, for me, what make this film really work — because we truly believe that this oil-and-water couple will stay together and they ought to. I sure hope they do in the sequel: When Harry Stayed With Sally."

David McK (3540 KP) rated Star Wars: The Destiny Path in Books

May 8, 2021

This comprises the first 6 issues in Marvel's latest run of Star Wars tales, set in the period between 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi'.

Han Solo is frozen in Carbonite; Luke is still reeling from the shocking revelation of his parentage and Lando is still viewed with suspicion by Leia, Chewbacca and the rest following the events on Cloud City.

An enjoyable enough read, with some fancy art, and - unlike the sequel series - this actually seems to have a defined overarching plot

What an amazing short read. This story is about a man that saves an underwater race from being devoured by a sea serpent. So much happens in just 50 pages. There is mystery, love and adventure. A cruel king, a downtrodden boy with rights to the throne, magic shells, mystical storms and a ships captain who believes in myths and legends. I haven't done my research yet because I was so excited to let you know how amazing this read was, but I hope there's a sequel.

Crawl is absolutely everything you could want from a Summer movie – the experience of watching it is like being on a theme park ride, it’s UNDER 90 minutes (praise be!) and refreshingly, it is not a sequel, a reboot or franchise fare. It’s actually a pretty taut (almost) two-hander that focuses on a father-daughter duo facing off against a giant alligator duo (relationship unknown) in the flooded basement of a Florida home during a hurricane.

As a fan of the original critters movie from back in the day of VHS wasn't sure if there really was an need for a sequel it's not bad movie short not too long. Nice too see Dee wallce stone back as she was in the original film in my opinion the real star of the film is Bianca the female crite who steals the show from her male counterparts maybe I will bgo back and watch the original again sometime

Been watching on Netflix as a follow up to the pink panther but not a sequel it's not bad a movie Peter is excellent as clouseau this time investigating a murder in usual bumbing style. Plus the introductions of Herbert Lom and Burt kwork who would later both appear in the pink panther sequels. Also Henry Mancini theme is up there with the pink panther theme overall good film Shane no pink panther

Sequel to 2014s Maleficent, that is now freed from the constraints of having to tell the Sleeping Beauty fairytale from the point of view of the wicked Queen.

With the plot here set in motion by a marriage proposal to Aurora, she and Maleficent travel to meet her suitors parents, including Michelle Pfeiffer as Queen Ingrith, who proves to be a 'real' Wicked Queen (that's no spoiler!), and who engineers a war against the fae folk.

In short: slightly better than the first, but still not brilliant.
