Dean (6926 KP) rated Fighting (2009) in Movies
Apr 30, 2019
An ok fighting film about the underdog on the rise. It's a well made and put together film with some good actors. However I have to say it hasn't got very good fight choreography!! Most of the fights are random brawls, cage fight style mixed disciplines....and don't last that long. There isn't a lot of build up to the fights either in terms of tension or training. Overall an ok watch but I thought Never back down was a similar plot film done much better.

Best Game of 2017
The world in this game is breathtaking. Gorgeous detail went into this game and it maintains the 'toonish' Zelda style while being a more refined work of art. There's so much to explore, the main storyline itself as well as different areas off the beaten path. The cooking system is fun to play with, and you can interact with almost everything in the world. Secrets are everywhere and discovering them all presents a challenge aside from the main questline.

This is really a 4.5, but we can't do that on here. I really enjoyed this, but, like with previous books, I waited too long in between the first and second to remember everything that happened. It was a very good thing that Ally Condie added reminders throughout the book to remind people of what happened. I would very much recommend this book to people. The characters and storyline are both amazing and the writing style flows well. I can't wait to read the next one!

Very rarely do I finish a book and immediately run off to write a review about it, so this should tell you how much I loved this book. As someone who is interested in wrongful convictions, this true story is mind boggling, especially being as the victim and wrongfully convicted become friends in the end. Written in an easy to understand style, this was a book that I could follow because it was not full of legal mumbo jumbo.
I think this book is a must read!

This was a beautiful tribute to a man who only wanted the world to be a good place. It was great to hear about how he sometimes felt unsure of himself and unsure if what he was doing was right. It was great to hear him talk about how teaching children was so important and it was great hearing about how he developed his style for teaching children in such a way. Such a great guy. We didn't deserve him but I'm happy we had him.

This book is a timeless love story written in a beautiful, lyrical way. The story itself was written from several different perspectives, which was quite easy to follow once I got into it and Lucy Foleys descriptive writing style easily transports you to each seperate setting really well. I found it very easy to get absorbed into the story and was eager to find out how everything was going to unfold. No spoilers, but, although bittersweet, I absolutely loved the ending and thought it was done brilliantly!

A very well crafted suspense-driven storyline. I really like stories that make it hard for me to foretell what will happen by the end of the book. This was not one of those. I loved the author's writing style and will gladly say I will be reading his other works in addition to this one. I generally give most books a low re-readability rating but for this read I will say I would read it again if time allowed. Thumbs-way-up!

Snore factor 5
I really enjoyed the first Wreck it Ralph, and the idea of video game characters going online was pretty cool. However it felt like forever to get anywhere in the plot. I made it to the halfway point before passing out man baby style again. My son again enjoyed the film. I am looking for films that grab the youths attention and the adults and as much as I wanted it to be there it simply was not.

I was amazed at this movie.
The story was just ok
The acting was great
Action was great
But what go me to liking this movie was the style. The technical side is what got me. Camera shot were great. Shooting this as a movie from the 70s great. They even brought in the beginning credits like movies prior to the 80s. If it was not for how clean cut the shots were i would have thought this was a cult classic from the 70s.
