Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Death Rejoices (The Marnie Baranuik Files #2) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

4.5 stars.

I still love this series.

Witty, paranormal, adventure/mysteries with Marnie and the team. If you haven't read this series yet and like the sound of it, I definitely recommend you buy it.

Long but oh, so good.

P.S. I'm still holding out for a Mark Batten/Marnie Baranuik full on romance--maybe possibly with Harry not minding sharing her or not in the frame at all, though I can't see that happening. Maybe in book three which I am dying to buy!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Vendetta (Blood for Blood, #1) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

I took me a while to get into this but with no Internet for the past three days I've had to stick to paperbacks so I knuckled down with this.

I liked it but it didn't win me over fully. Some things I'd already figured out, some things seemed to be thrown in from left field and completely threw me off.

As for the romance aspect... I kinda like the thought of Sophie with Luca now instead of Nic.

I'm not sure if I'll continue the series...

Tom Turner (388 KP) rated Dragonsong (Pern: Harper Hall #1) in Books

Apr 29, 2021

I've been wanting to get into the Dragonriders of Pern series for quite some time, and tried on many occasions, starting various books. This is one of the reasons I've started in the 'wrong' place. Given the fact there was definitely some lore I felt I was missing which was probably given in the earlier three books. But saying that none of what I didn't know spoiled my enjoyment of this book. I got totally emersed in the world of Pern and look forward to returning.

Bill Hader recommended This Is Spinal Tap (1984) in Movies (curated)

"I first saw This Is Spinal Tap when I was seven or eight, and it totally changed my life. This was comedy. This was how you performed comedy. It gave me a leg up at an early age. The Criterion disc is a must because they do commentary out of character. Listening to those three guys talking about how they created and related to these characters, how they approached scenes, and where the inspiration for each scene came from taught me a lot. Thanks, Criterion!"

Excellent way to end a

Ive got a jar o' dirt!

So I'm a huge fan of the POTC films, I felt this is the last of a trilogy of the franchise, any afterwards stand alone. It has it's moments of frivolity that fit in well (like the moment in my heading) it doesn't feel forced.
I absolutely love the ending, it is both satisfying and bittersweet but it was genuinely a natural progression of the three films together.

Al Gore recommended The Big Short (2015) in Movies (curated)

"Choice number three may or may not surprise you, but I absolutely loved, loved, loved Hidden Figures. If I were a young African-American woman, I would ask the question: Why did I not know about this story before now? And even as a 69-year-old white male, I want to know why I didn’t know about that story. It’s so inspiring. It’s almost like a fact-checked Frank Capra movie for the 21st century, and really, really, really got me psyched up about it."

I remember watching this movie back in early nineties late night on tv thinking this was a corny bit silly for a horror movie but I thought it was still funny and I kinda liked it now ive watched again 30 years later is it as good as I remember yes I laughed especially when George wendt turns up basically playing norm from cheers without the bar the effects are bit outdated but the makeup effects are excellent. Maybe I should watch the three sequels some time
