Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Sweet Venom (Medusa Girls, #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
This is one of those books where you can read it so easily and quickly but at the same time not a lot seems to happen. Admittedly, that end bit has intrigued me with just who was the male voice on the end of that phone. One of two, possibly three, people. And since i have book 2 just waiting to go, I'm jumping straight into it.

This has been on my to read list for over three years. I'm so glad I read it, I have some knowledge of people on the autistic spectrum, though I'm by no means an expert. Cathy brings her warmth, kindness and understanding to Danny and his parents as she does all of those she works with, and the results she gets are spot on!
Awix (3310 KP) rated Flash Gordon (1980) in Movies
Feb 12, 2018
Post-Star Wars high-camp reimagining of the famous Alex Raymond sci-fi comic strip. Ming the Merciless, Emperor of the planet Mongo, terrorises the Earth; a mad scientist, a football player and a travel agent rocket themselves into space in an attempt to make him knock it off.
One of those movies where the ostensible leads are the least well-known people in it - everyone else has a great time overacting: the gold medal goes to Brian Blessed, who steals the entire movie as Vultan, Prince of the Hawk People. Visually lavish, with a strong script, lots of well-staged action for younger viewers, and tongue-in-cheek jokes aplenty for older people who ought to know better. Point knocked off for some inappropriately nasty violence; put straight back on again for Queen's soundtrack.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Survivors (The Coming Collapse) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I really have enjoyed both books by [James Wesley Rawles] that I have read. [Survivors] describes people trying to survive and take care of those they care about after an economic collapse. Sadly this is a very conceivable idea. All the main characters were of strong faith and that was in important part of the story but not all were Christian which was a breath of fresh air.

Raw, emotional, powerful drama
Apart from the fact I love Viggo Mortensen, this film is not one of those violent action films, but actually about a family drama. The story plot may not have been original, however, the dramatic effect it had on the family was powerful and emotional. It really does raise the question how well do you know the people you love? And not in a melodramatic way.
James Koppert (2698 KP) rated The Book of Hidden Things in Books

Don't make this book a hidden thing
I absolutely loved this book. I liked the characters. It was a story of midlife with just enough magic invoked to make it a fantasy. How a man who has English as his second language can write something so spectacular I will never
know. Clever man. Now where are those stone walls...
