Dean (6925 KP) rated Mean Creek (2004) in Movies
Jan 26, 2019
A very good film that feels similar in many ways to "Stand by me". Great acting from the young cast as a group of kids plan to get revenge on a bully. Though their attitudes change over the day, will they go through with it and with what repercussions?
The film handles the whole bully situaition well and will remind a lot of people how tough life can be as a young kid growing up and going through school.

A great coming of age story. Both serious and funny. The book is broken into two parts the first is about her upbringing and the difficulties of being seen as less than... The part two picks up in the same time that chapter one does and goes from there.
Although you're supposed to read this second as it is a prequel (to the Blue Sword) it is a good stand alone/read first book. I highly recommend.

Lindsay (1706 KP) rated Naomi's Gift (Kauffman Amish Bakery -- Christmas Stories #2) in Books

This story keep my interest but it did not take my heart to want to a point where I was wanting to know to What going to happen next. I will say this it is good read and a Christmas story to itself. I hope it was meant to stand alone. Just my thought because I liked does not meant it will be for you it up to you to decide.
In the beginning of the story, Caleb and his daughter Susie (Susan) are coming to visit Caleb family. Susie want to stop at the market to get a pie or something to take to her Aunt Sadie's place. They stop in the farmer market. Susie run to a quilt stand and starts talking to Naomi King.
The Kauffmans are some what talked about though out the book. Though most of the story is around Caleb, Susie and Naomi along with a snip of Kaffuman family. It centered around the Christmas season. You see Caleb's sister side of the story as well and try to match her brother up with Irene Wranger.

Fourth book I've now read in this series and I'd say I liked this one the least and probably won't read any more. In this one particularly there was much less focus on the 'mystery' part and more on other goings on. There are also things at the end that don't seem quite tied up - ~I've had that before where some bits are picked up at the beginning of the new book, but it means that these don't stand alone very well. Yes, it's good to read a series, but if someone picks up in the middle this makes it more tricky.
The Royal Spyness books by the same author I've read some of, but I think those are a bit more humorous and these are a bit more gritty and violent.

Best Show Ever
This program is multifaceted and shows the change in characters as the plot deepens. The main characters are all believable and that is what makes it stand out so well. Back linking to other events means you can find something new to pick up on if you watch it more than once, which I have!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2099 KP) rated Killer Routine (A Last Laff Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Channing Hayes' is trying to help his almost sister-in-law begin a solo stand up comic career while he recovers from the accident that took his fiancee. On the night of her big break, she vanishes. Why? Can Channing find her? The characters were enjoyable, especially Channing, but the plot was a series of events with no real detective work involved.

Captains Log, Stardate 47634.44, Just finished watching a movie called Please Stand By. It was a very fun and heartwarming flick. Dakota Fanning plays an autistic girl who boldly goes on an adventure towards Paramount Pictures studio to submit her Star Trek script into a writing contest. While the script to this movie lacked the character development and conflict of the supporting cast that would have beamed it up to the next level, it was still a very enjoyable voyage.

Woody's Story
Contains spoilers, click to show
I love the Toy Story franchise and don't get me wrong, I loved this movie but I don't believe that it fit in with the rest of them.
As a stand along film, this would be incredible but as a sequel to the other three, it somewhat lacked.
The movie sadly shows little of the other toys (being a Rex fan, I was disappointed) and mainly revolves around Woody and partly Forky. It also shows very little of Andy, I get that he's grown up and no longer requires them but it would have been much better to see Andy give Bonnie the toys.
All being said, I did enjoy the movie and even got emotional at the end... I just think it would have been better as a stand alone movie rather than part of the franchise.
