Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated Getting to Happy in Books
May 10, 2018
OMG!! I finally finished this book. I don't remember the last time that it took me nearly a month to read a book. This book was just okay for me. I remember Waiting to Exhale very well, but I think that it was a little too long for the sequel.
So a lot has happened with these ladies in the time since we last left them. I think that for grown women, they whined a little too much for me about the goings on in their lives. Spending six years to get over an ex. Complaining about everything that is going around in your world, but doing nothing to change it.
I'm glad I'm done with this.

Adam Hawker (2 KP) rated Deadpool 2 (2018) in Movies

Ryan Reynolds is even more assured in the role he was born to play. (3 more)
The jokes are relentless and full of the pop culture references and meta four wall breaks you'd expect from Deadpool.
Josh Brolin is great as Cable. Stoic and monosyllabic without being boring.
Zazie Beetz is brilliant as Domino. The portrayal of her Luck superpower is great and her back and forth with Deadpool matches the comics pretty well.
Vanessa is under served a little. As she was in the first film. (1 more)
You could argue some of the structure is too similar to the first film. Cab rides to battles etc.
Solid sequel full of meta laughs and some surprising emotional depth

I received an Arc Copy for an open and honest review.
I loved this book, I am a huge supernatural fan.... My favourite type.....werewolves and this did not disappoint. It kept me intrigued, it kept me in suspense and wanting more!
I love Nate and the kids of Tether and the unique situation they are in and also I love how Nessa evolves and matures right before your eyes.
Also the way the Wolf family was written really made you think you were they, playing with pups and singing with them and gives you a little sneak peak into the wolves pack dynamics.
Just could not get enough of this book and really hope there is a sequel :)

I didn't realise this was a sequel so I read this as a standalone so through alot of it I felt as if I'd missed something. The story was good, a bit choppy in places and hard to keep track what days they are in but I do think that's because the author may have assumed I'd read the previous in the series so I didn't get the character build up, didn't get the characters personality so whilst I'm trying to connect the dots they were off doing something else and I felt slightly disjointed because of it.
But despite that, I really enjoyed it and will look out for the others.

Fred (860 KP) rated Alita: Battle Angel (2019) in Movies

Love it
Based on the manga "Gunnm", Alita: Battle Angel tells the story of a female cyborg. It takes place against a beautiful cyberpunk world called Iron City. It truly is a sight to see. But the true sight is Alita herself. She's beautifully animated & played excellently by Rosa Salazar. Chirstoph Walz was Christoph Walz. Actually, everyone was pretty good. The effects are phenomenal. The story is good as well, although there was no need for the love-story at all. It didn't move the story at all. I do hope there is a sequel made. Seeing this also makes me hopeful for a live-action version of Bubblegum Crisis in the future.
Rickey A. Mossow Jr. (689 KP) rated Creed II (2018) in Movies
May 21, 2019
A fitting conclusion.
The original Creed was an incredible movie, so of course one has to head into the sequel with reservations that they couldn't possibly tell a story as compelling as the first. The film hits the ground running and never lets up telling three parallel stories that combine into one amazing journey. The film also beautifully never forgets or betrays its roots. Stallone knows the story his characters and the story he wants to tell with them. His Rocky beautifully compliments the brilliant and layered performance by Michael B. Jordan. If this is indeed the final chapter of Rocky series, it's a beautiful work of art to close the over 4-decade odyssey.
Stephen (210 KP) rated The Belko Experiment (2017) in Movies

If anybody asks me what I consider a 100% perfect movie, this is the one I would recommend. Although it’s tough to watch, with it’s shocking brutality, it’s also beautiful to watch. The use of the songs used on the soundtrack heighten the beauty of the movie’s horrifically violent scenes, which is one of the reasons that this film is so perfect.
An amazing cast creates characters that you either love or hate, which ultimately makes certain characters’ deaths heartbreaking.
Apparently there are no plans for a sequel which is a real shame; this is an absolute classic and a work of real genius. Watch this, and prepare to be blown away.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Mamma Mia! (2008) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Cheesy to the very end but immensely successful and spawning a sequel, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again this very summer. 2008’s Mamma Mia was one of the most profitable musicals of all time with an all-star cast including Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. With the entire wedding-themed movie set on an idyllic Greek island, it was inevitable that the ceremony itself would be absolutely stunning. It was, with a church perched high on a hill and a lovely reception in which Amanda Seyfriend’s Sophie could relish in the love of her friends, mum and (spoiler alert), her three dads.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Horrible Bosses (2011) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Horrible Bosses is a film that features an all-star cast with the likes of Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis to name but a few. It performed incredibly well at the box office and didn’t fare too badly with critics either – it was awarded a decent 69% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Aniston’s performance is tongue-in-cheek to say the least as she plays a hyper-sexed dentist. She’s funny and engaging in the role, losing the girl-next-door persona she had become criticised for overplaying in the past. Horrible Bosses and its sequel are well worth a watch.

I really should have come back to this series sooner. The characters are outstanding and the plot was complex and twisty. I was glued to the story and will definitely be searching out the sequel.
