Let me begin by saying that I love Kong, Godzilla and the like...so for me to hate this movie it would have to be really bad. As it stands I love this movie. It's not only a break from the traditional tragic Kong ending but it's part of the monsterverse with Kong and Godzilla heading for a battle. This movie had great character support. Everyone played their parts well. You would eventually hate Jackson's character and Hiddleston and Larson's characters. As well as the other supporting cast. Kong looked amazing and it showed his level of devastation on an intelligent level. When he wiped out all of the choppers that invaded the island, it left the group in a hopeless situation. Kong was The least of their worries as The island had many more monstrous threats that killed more of the explorerers. The group would come across a WW2 vet named Marlow (John C Riley). With a lot of smarts and ingenuity, the survivors along with Kong battling the dangerous Skull Crawlers, they make it off the island. The ending however would Conrad (Hiddleston) and Weaver (Larson) "prisoners" in a room only to learn their are more creatures like Kong in the world.....I recommend watching this movie

Whiskey, Golf, and Sheep in Scotland
Anty is off to Scotland to be one of the judges in a once a decade contest to determine which of the two villages in the region gets to sell their whiskey under the official label. But he arrives to the news that one of the distillers has just blown himself up in his still. Naturally, this peaks Anty’s interest, and he starts investigating. Did the centuries old rivalry turn deadly? Does the world’s toughest golf course play a role? Can Anty investigate while being followed by an increasingly large flock of sheep?

This series is equal parts locked room mystery and laugh-out-loud comedy. Sometimes, the book can get too witty for its own good, but the balance is perfect here. I was confused by the case until Anty figured it out, but it made sense when he did. I thought I was going to struggle to keep the similar names straight, but I found I was able to follow all the key players just fine. And the wit and banter were clever and fun without being overdone. Plus, the absurd just added to the fun. These books work well as standalones. Don’t hesitate to pick up any book when you are in the mood for a funny mystery.
