Leah (3 KP) rated Bright (2017) in Movies

I was so pumped to watch this. I love the lead actors and was so excited to see what they did with the fantasy aspect. But it really should have been a TV or mini series. They crammed way too many ideas into this movie. It's like the writers had no editing process and just through all of their ideas in and followed through with about... two of them.
It's still an enjoyable film if you're standards aren't set too high, mostly salvaged by the good acting, but my head was spinning from all the half-baked storylines and rabbit trails going on. That feeling of disappointment when the credits start rolling... Oy vey.

However, it turned out to be a real gem; the characters were all so loveable, the story was fantastic, and the film itself was packed with genius comedy moments. I haven’t laughed so much at a comedy film for ages, but this movie just keeps the comedy coming.
I’m really pleased that a TV series was made based on the movie to keep the antics of the two boys going, and introducing some new characters into the mix works really well.
As will all comedy movies, some of the humour may not appeal to some, but personally I loved every bit of the film from start to finish.

Z-nation doesn't fall short. It even adds a new take, humour. I like the way they have merged the zombie horror, end of the world scenario with humour. It's not a heavy sprikling of jokes either, it's interweaved into the whole story line. That way you can still have the drama of the apocalypse without the humour making it less real, less able for you to be drawn into.
This is for all The Walking Dead fans that are looking to fill the mid season gap and gaps between seasons. You won't be dissapointed.

The twists towards the end, I was on the edge of my seat. I was getting so angry, annoyed, frustrated and nearly screaming at the TV. In my opinion only good writing can get me so animated so that's a big tick.
As you can see, I've tried my hardest not to include spoilers, if you're looking for something on Netflix on a chilled evening, give this a go, see how you like it.
David McK (3692 KP) rated Better than Life (Red Dwarf #2) in Books
Jan 28, 2019 (Updated Sep 8, 2019)
Unlike its predecessor, which at times seemed to be cramming as many episodes as possible into its length, this novel instead seems to primarily focus on 3 main aspects (episodes) from the TV series on which it is based: Better Than Life, Garbage World and Polymorph. As such, it's also quite a quick read, only taking me something like 1 day to read from start to finish. Ending on a cliff-hanger, this is also the last Red Dwarf book that both Rob Grant and Doug Naylor worked on together, with the next 2 books ('Backwards' and 'Last Human') each written by a separate one of those two authors.
