This movie was a complete mess. The plot was all over the place, and they kind of wasted Oscar Isaac. I always love James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender together, but there was close to nil of that action. Michael Fassbender seemed like he hated life all throughout it.
Also, I'm really tired of Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique. Can we please get some clothing for Mystique? I find it really strange that she has clothing in comics but close to none in the movies.

Deceptively fabulous feminist book
This quaint, quirky mystery novel has so many themes intertwined in a logical fashion that I'm considering it to be near perfect.

With magical realism as a major part of this tale, I was initially apprehensive to what conclusion could be achieved without drifting off on a tangent. However, it came together revealing its true purpose, that of the women who at the beginning seemed meek and mild, but actually were at the heart of the plot. Well written.

Unusual, not as good as first but intriguing twist
Very unusual story, with Paula Hawkins using a similar back and forth narrative with several narrators as in Girl On A Train. The difference being there are more than one primary characters and the neurotic protagonist is played down far more than in her previous novel. And there are numerous subplots which actually confused the entire story and does not seem to thread together very well. It would have been better with less complications.

The album of a generation
I don't think there's anyone around my age who didn't love this album as a teenager. It's possibly one of the best debut albums I've ever heard. There's a few standout songs (In The End, One Step Closer) but every song is fantastic in its own right. This is one of the few albums that myself and my brother can actually agree on, and even used to listen to it together when we were younger. Genius.

I have never seen a more impactful show. The actors involved have brought it from something that could've been just mediocre to something that is beyond words. It is spoken to so many people, saved so many lives, and brought so many people from all over the world together. If a show can do that it deserves way more than 10 out of 10. I always will love that show as well as the actors involved Jared, Jensen, Misha, etc.

A modern day 'In Cold Blood'
This is a pretty incredibly written book about a real life murder investigation coinciding with the author's own harrowing experiences. While true crime is now a hot genre, Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich has weaved together a humane story, a backdrop of how this horrifying crime occurred not dissimilar to how Truman Capote wrote In Cold Blood. However, her own horrific story parallels the investigation giving the entire novel a whole new dimension. Recommended read indeed.

Good Sfx for the early 80's
Great fantasy adventure
Before Lord of the Rings this was the closest you got to a fantasy/action epic. Had good SFX for the time of filming '83! It has a wide range of characters and creatures as a group come together to rescue a princess. A little surprise it was a pg rating. Younger kids might find it a bit scary. Featuring a young Robbie Coltrane and Liam Neeson.

What isn’t good about this epic movie? (2 more)
So cool to see the whole of marvel come together to fight one mother of a villain.
Funny, action packed, suspenseful, and emotional.
That ending...why?!?!? (1 more)
I left the theater feeling personally victimized by Marvel.
I’m still upset about that ending, but it was a great movie. I already want to torture myself again by going to see it a second time. Thanos really lived up to all the hype, in my opinion.

This is one of the best books to come out of the new canon. Grand Moff Tarkin is one of my favorite characters from the Star Wars universe, and I was glad that he got his own book. Tarkin was raised on a rural, rough planet, and it's definitely a big part of who Tarkin is. Tarkin is also aware of who Darth Vader is, as the Emperor had them working together prior to Anakin turning to the dark side.
