Book Rating
I did not want to say goodbye to these characters. I know it's permanent, even if they won't be the main characters in Sarah's spin off book(s). Rhys was, as always, so swoon worthy and dark and, admittedly, delicious. The final stretch of his and Feyre's story left me in tears, even if the ending was surprising. At first, when I closed my book and stared at my wall in both wonderment and despair (I mean, what am I supposed to read now?? Who will ever measure up to the greatness that is Rhysand?!), I was a little confused at some of the seemingly obvious foreshadowing Sarah left and certain questions that remained unanswered. Then I remembered her next book will be a spin off, possibly explaining these little bits of unfinished business. Even if Rhys and Feyre will not be the center of the next story, I am excited to see how things progress and who Sarah will be making the main characters.

A decent entry bringing Spiderman into the Marvel universe
A good film with some big action scenes and Michael Keaton does well as the villian. Ties in nicely with the Avengers films but maybe had too many references to them. I still prefer the first Spiderman film (2002) but this a good film overall.
  
The first book in a planned spin-off series from Jack Campbell's <i>The Lost Fleet</i> series of books, this follows on from the end of that previous series and utilises pretty much the same core set of characters.

This is also, perhaps, a little slower than the books in the previous series (although that could be because, as the first in a new series, this has to lay the groundwork), and also seems to end pretty abruptly!

Brilliant British Film
A great British film, gritty and hard hitting and made on a shoe string budget. It doesn't matter, the story and acting make this a very powerful film and it deserves all the awards and accolades it has received.
A young boy bullied at school joins the local skinheads in early 80's Britain, but the fun and games soon start to turn nasty and violent.
Check out the spin off TV shows as well.

Childhood revisited
Glen A Larson cashing in on the Star Wars explosion with this TV spin off. The A Team's Dirk Benedict and Lorne Greene from Bonanza were the 2 main stars until Richard Hatch as Apollo took over and became the main man. Still think the space ships were better than the X Wings from Star Wars, but never really loved it unlike Star Wars.
