Such an important film, well worth all the awards

"If it takes a community to raise a child, it takes one to abuse them."

Spotlight is such an important part of media history because they uncovered one of the darkest secrets of one community, which mirrors all communities. The film is awe-inspiring, so much so that I wanted to go back into a newsroom and be a TV journalist again at the forefront of major news. This is literally the best film for journalists to watch and for audiences to understand what it's like to work in a newsroom. More importantly, it shows how vital the media can be when actually doing proper investigations.

It is extremely dark given the subject nature - but having been in a similar situation breaking the story of Jimmy Savile in the UK for British media, the film completely reflects my own personal experiences.

She'll kick your ass, steal your wallet and all without spilling her drink

Jessica Jones Season 1 was such an amazing take on the comic books and really just gave me what I've been missing from the Marvel Universe. Krysten Ritter was not someone I would have picked to play Jessica Jones but she took the role by the horns and really just blew me away.

The show has some of the not only best female characters I've come across but has some of the best relationships between female characters which a lot of tv shows and movies miss out on for some reason.

For me though David Tennant was just the one that stole the entire show every time he was on screen he just drew you in and you just could not look away from him.

One of the handiest apps

This is always one app I download straight away! Absolutely love it. Has a very vast database and you can almost always find the name of practically every extra in anything and oftentimes can find uncredited people.

Most pages have a full biography of actors and crew alike. More popular people have lots of photos too. It also comes in handy for trivia and when you recognise someone and just can't figure out why.

It's easy to use and all pages for TV shows have an episode list complete with original release dates. Episode pages also exist with a generalisation of the plot, often having more than one written by other people.

Only downside is that sometimes the biography doesn't have enough information on but a name can be all that's needed for a Google search.

100% recommend to everyone!

Jeremy King (346 KP) rated Batman and Harley Quinn (2017) in Movies

Aug 8, 2019

When i watched this i was stuck on a runway for 1.5hours waiting to take off, so that might influence my rating.

I grew up with the batman cartoon and well this is not your tv cartoon batman. A lot of adult themes going on in here. So you might want to take a peak at it before letting the little ones watch it. It is ment for older teens and adults.

What I like about this is how it is empowering for a female character. Harley Quinn might be a loose cannon but this shows she does not need Batman, Nightwing or the Joker. She is her own stand alone kick ass character and she does not need to be a sidekick.

If you like batman you might want to check it out or leave it but if you are a fan of Harley Quinn i say it is a must to see.
