The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Sanditon in Books
Oct 5, 2020
However, I'm certain that she would have done a great deal of editing of this opening section, had she ever finished writing the rest of the book. There are far too many run-on sentences that include so much information, that things get somewhat confusing.
But what does this matter... since someone has apparently come up with the types of twists and intrigues that could make this story complete, and turned it into a TV mini-series by the same name! That should be fun to watch, right?
Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Tad, The Lost Explorer (2013) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
Amusing in parts, as always the added extras were more entertaining than the main "cast"... i.e. the animals and the mummy stole the show.
What I didn't realise before seeing this is that it's the second film in the series. In 2012 there was Tadeo Jones... or Tad: The Explorer for the non-Spanish audience. The film on it's own makes sense, but you're left with a little confusion at the beginning when you realise everyone knows everyone else.
The animation isn't particularly my sort of thing. It has the look of something you'd expect from a TV show, but generally most average animation is still good animation.
All in all it was a fun story, with some interesting characters in.
David McK (3770 KP) rated The Truman Show (1998) in Movies
Sep 6, 2019 (Updated Mar 14, 2021)
Peter Weir's incredibly prescient satire drama (released, as it was, even pre Big Brother), in which Jim Carrey shows he can actually act, by putting in - for me - what is probably his best performance as Truman Burbank, the unwitting and unknowing star of a 24/7 reality TV show that is now in its 30th year and that is viewed by millions around the globe.
In effect, a bit of an update on the old Descartes 'how do we know what is real?' question: as far as Truman is concerned, this *is* reality, until a series of accidents and events leads him to start to question everything and everyone in his life, leading to the emotional finale (does he ever meet the girl again? What comes next for the world's most recognizable man?).

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Snowpiercer (2013) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
Set in 2031, the entire planet is frozen and the world’s only survivors live aboard the Snowpiercer: a train that’s been hurtling around the globe for the past seventeen years. Within the carriages, the remnants of the human race have formed their own divisive economic and class system.
Possible because I felt it was starting to get to be a bit of a chore to keep up with all the Marvel content on Disney+, plus the fact that I found the character - first introduced in Black Panther 2 - to be a bit on the bland side.
Once I did get round to it, I watched it all in the space of a few days as it was better than I was expecting, mixing the magic side of the MCU with the technological side.
And, yes, while I *know* that reveal at the end is supposed to be a big deal, I've still no real context for it and just what it is considered to be such (other than what I have heard second-hand)
