Thor: Rargnarok took the best parts of a couple different Marvel Comics storylines, fused them together into an 80's buddy action comedy movie.

If you apperciated the tone of GotG, like Thor but not his movies you'll love this. Of the 17 films in the franchise this one is in the top half.

I am glad Hulk's Warbond, though not called as such in the film, survived. Hope to see more of Kord and Miek, maybe even a spin off of there own.

It's just okay. I understand it's a spin off of American Horror Story, but it feels uneven in places and they cram a lot of story in the short amount of time for the first two episodes they premiered. There are some nods to season 1 and in a couple of moments there are a couple of funny jokes. It's not really scary, just uncomfortable which is a bit disappointing. There are some good things in the show, it just needs to find its footing.

The Good Wife Spin Off
Contains spoilers, click to show
The Good Fight is a spin off to the hugely successful The Good Wife but it doesn't spend much time living in its shadow and proves almost straight away that it can carry its own weight.

After her close friends are accused of organising a huge financial scam, Diane - who invested her money with them - finds herself unable to retire and forced to jump ship to another law firm. She joins the fabulous Luca and brings along her god daughter (whose parents were responsible for the scam) and together they ride out the scandal. Eli's daughter, Marissa also makes a return and it's great to see her in a more permanent role than she had in The Good Wife.


The drama is reminiscent of Good Wife at its best but it brings its own identity. While you can guess what's going to happen a few episodes ahead it doesn't spoil it too much because the performance put in by the cast is brilliant.

"Now for a more contemporary movie. What a phenomenal third act. What a triumphant moment at the end. There’s so much build up — some movies just don’t pay off the way they should. The performances were beyond incredible, but to have that triumphant moment be as strong as it really was, you just don’t find it. And so simple too. The story didn’t have to be about explosions and car crashes to really hit as hard as it did. It didn’t need the Hollywood spin on it — not that that story could have ever been told with a Hollywood spin on it — but that this simple story about this relationship could have as big an impact as anything I’ve seen is incredible. JK Simmons is so good; he doesn’t have any tells, so you only get clues to where it’s going. But he’s so good at playing that asshole."

In all honesty this is the first book by J.A. Armstrong I picked up. It drew me in as a teacher but when I realized it was a spin off of the By Design series I put it aside and started that one. I read this one at the time it seemed to fit into the other series. I love the characters and how their relationship develops. Michelle and Melanie's relationship evolving from just friends to more just flowed. As with all of Armstrong's characters they all have flaws but that makes them real.
