Movie Critics (823 KP) rated I, Daniel Blake (2016) in Movies
May 26, 2017
This is a disturbing film that many audiences will find confronting, particularly those who think they live in a caring society that supports people in need. The pace is slow and the dialogue often terse, but that’s how life is at the bottom.

Dean (6921 KP) rated He's Just Not That Into You (2009) in Movies
Jun 5, 2018
A fresh take on the Rom-com with plenty of drama, featuring an all star cast. It's on the same kinda level as Love actually. It features the love lives of various people that are all connected some how. Starting with those on the dating scene trying to read the signs right through to those that have been married for a few years. It's enjoyable and quite funny with a few touching moments too., I like the way all the stories are interwoven together. One of the best Rom-coms in a long while.

I received an ARC from Netgalley for review.
As someone who can stitch I found these entertaining and would be really easy to replicate in full cross-stitch, but this book has an added bonus for those who don't.
Reading the description ... "Perforated pages allow for readers to hang up or share favorite entries, spreading the cross stitched love."
So even those who can't stitch can pop out a page, frame it, and stick it up on the wall if they want to as from a short distance most people won't see the difference. A very clever idea.

AT (1676 KP) rated Pokémon GO in Apps
Sep 2, 2018
Yes, people DO still play Pokemon Go! Lots of people! Check out any monthly community day, and you'll be surrounded by other Pokemon trainers, loving the game just as much as you will. It's an easy, fun game to play. The games tasks and Pokemon get updated often enough to keep you interested. There have been some issues that people have complained about after the last major update, but I haven't had them, and hopefully for those that have, they'll get updated and fixed soon. Nothing terrible, just a little annoying for this short bit of time. The game, itself, is great fun. Lots of Pokemon around to catch, and lots of goals and tasks to achieve. It's a really fun app!

Slightly flawed premise for a film
Contains spoilers, click to show
The premise of the film, that there are mysterious beings that, once seen, will drive sane people to suicide and insane people to do their bidding is intriguing. That is, until you realise that this means a film where people are either stuck inside, afraid of those mad "helpers" knocking on their door, or people wandering blindfolded around looking for food, water and shelter. Neither of these for me make for a particularly compelling watch. This film is split between the two.
The former aspects of the film are by far the best, people locked in a house together, running out of food (but somehow with plenty of electricity and running water) and considering venturing outside. However, with only those insane helpers likely to come to the door, we don't have the same level of jeopardy as your normal zombie/apocalypse film.
The latter aspects, people wandering around blindfolder, are just a nonsense. People driving in a car with blacked out windows and barely bumping into anything and sat-nav somehow getting them right to the front door (and the people know they are at the front door) was just totally unbelievable. Sat-nav frequently tells me I am in the sea when driving anywhere near the coast, so the chances of it accurately delivering me to the front door of a shop I programmed it for are minimal. Similarly when people are wandering around, they rarely bump into anything at all, and when they do it is always a trip (which would be easily avoided).
And finally the premise - the mysterious beings were not explored at all. While I am happy to have some mystery around the likes of this and actually hate it when they attempt to explain circumstances and fail, I felt this was just omitted completely. There is no real rhyme or reason for what happens in the film and I didn't like that. Its really just 2 hours of people afraid of some leaves.
The rating of this was for the suspense of the film and the acting within the house section, and for the epic opening sequences where the cataclysm unfolds, despite the glaring flaws in the premise and people miraculously getting around without concussion.

Dorian Grey
Whats the cost of immortality? Would you sacrifice the love of your family and friends to stay forever young? Dorian Grey is one of those books that makes you question yourself. It is difficult to decide whether you love or hate Dorian as a character, he has charm and finesse but theres also that lack of morals that most people develop through their life.
