Erika (17788 KP) rated Acceptance (Southern Reach #3) in Books
Mar 1, 2019
The conclusion to the Southern Reach trilogy was completely anticlimactic. Not much actually happened in this novel. I think this is the first out of the three that actually uses the word 'alien' but not as a noun.
The novel bounces around between 4 characters, the lighthouse keeper, the psychologist, Control, and Ghostbird. Honestly, there was nothing new, and I was glad that it was a short book.

Cowboy detectives Old Red and Big Red find murder on board a train after they sign up with the Southern Pacific as detectives. Can Old Red figure out who the killer is? Lots of great suspense and an ending I couldn't put down. Unfortunately, the language really bothered me.

Sicario 2: Soldado (2018) offers America a tangerine's dream. #Review
It’s impossible to view “Sicario 2: Soldado” in isolation from the current real-world events along America’s southern border. Indeed, the film finds itself cruelly separated from the comfort of director Denis Villeneuve and cinematographer Roger Deakins' reassuring presence. Also discarded is Emily Blunt’s FBI agent Kate Macer and with her any shred of conscience “Sicario” possessed....

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Take My Hand (A Pine Cone Romance #1) in Books
Aug 12, 2018
Take my hand is a well developed contempoary romance of the accidental sort. The characters are an interesting blend and the secondary characters in the small southern town lend to the setting. This book provided laughs as well as warm fuzzies and perhaps a bit warmer feelings as well. It is part one of three books that three authors worte together each focusing on one of three best friends and their relationships.
Veronica Pena (690 KP) rated Fun With Dick and Jane (2005) in Movies
Apr 22, 2020
While this isn't a jump out of your seat, keep your eyes glued to the screen type of film, it is enjoyable. Jim Carrey knows what he's doing and he knows what he's good at and he knows how to sell it. Alec Baldwin's southern accent is like butter and I love it, even though he's the bad guy.
Definitely a fun watch that will make you laugh, with a solid ending. No complaints here!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2163 KP) rated Deadly Shoals (Wiki Coffin Mysteries #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Wiki Coffin and the American Exploration Expedition have reached the southern tip of South America, where they get involved in a case where a man was sold a ship, but then it was stolen from him. Then a dead body turns up. This book seemed to be slow moving, but many of the random events played a part in the climax.
