Lee (2222 KP) rated Searching (2018) in Movies
Sep 15, 2018
The search for a missing daughter unfolds before our eyes on a computer screen, pulling together clues and information from social media and messaging services. While there have been a couple of decent horror movies recently employing this method of storytelling, none of them have been as effective as this. Edge of seat, intense drama with a few twists and turns towards the end. This may have gripped me a lot more than it normally would, as I have a daughter in her early teens, just starting to build an online life of her own, but wow this movie was amazing!

Loved this series!! How can anyone NOT love Kellan Kyle!? Just the sweetest guy and the love he feels for Kiera is so apparent. I could totally relate to Kiera, I really loved her character and found her to be so much like myself. I loved watching the two of them grow together and was amazed at the level of trust they could find for each other in some of the most difficult situations. I laughing hysterically, loving the banter between the guys on the road, Griffin's mouth ;-) and then, of course, crying at every turn. I CAN'T WAIT to read Kellan's POV!!

Chinese Mysticism
Contains spoilers, click to show
A tale of Chinese mysticism, set in the river city of Tientsin in early 20th Century China, with a mystic, a forensic scientist, a reporter and a spiritually talented investigator getting together to solve a string of incidents that all build to a final conclusion.
Very well acted, with fabulous locations and gorgeously replicated period clothing and props.
A fantastic storyline that starts out as individual incidents that don't necessarily seem to be connected, but that build to a thrilling cliffhanger finale.
Altogether a great watch.

Connie (244 KP) rated Elementary in TV

If House were a detective we might get this much snark.
I personally love Elementary. I get that it is improbable, that there is no way someone can finish mysteries like these with this much interesting discovery. I feel confident that the police forces and detectives are not as slow as Sherlock makes them seem.
And yet, I love the snark. I love the inprobablity of this show, of tiny disparate elements coming together as Sherlock’s eccentric mind flips them about. I love watching Joan find ways to communicate with him. I can’t wait to see what comes next!

3.5/5: I believe this was an important story to be told. I however did not like a few things about it. The starting at the end and counting backwards in the storyline was a bit difficult to get use to. I also felt as though she tried to write 2 different books and mashed them together, all the intertwining of lives seemed like a second story in the making. I don't like how unfinished the book was left. There were many questions I was left with not life pondering questions just unfinished story line because we wrote too much sub-plot.

Ditto
young couple sam & molly are in the middle of starting their lives together in their new home, when they are attacked one night resulting in Sam's death.
After sam refuses to move on, now having unfinished business, he begins Looking for answers. In need of help, sam meets a spiritualist fraud who terrifyingly (yet hilariously) discovers she has the gift.
This romantic/comedy/thriller manages to perfectly mix the dark and light tones of the movie, with edge of your seat, heart pounding moments.
Starring Patrick swayze, Demi Moore and Woopi Goldberg and Tony Goldwyn.

Weak follow up
5 years after the original film we have a surprise sequel. The first film was OK but hardly a stand out film. This and a 3rd film were shot close together. The plot is rather silly but you expect that. I didn't like the design of the prison this time. Trying to make it look high tech and automated... With a lot of neon lights. It just looks very low budget. A few good fight scenes but little else. A shame when you look at the cast list.

Strong Female Characters (2 more)
Gorgeous Fight Scenes
Overall Clever Script
Smart, Sexy, Action Packed
Although I am a huge fan of hot sexy badass chicks I found the flashback sequences top distracting to truly enjoy the film. I understand the purpose of it, demonstrating a truly brilliant effect of multiple scenes laying over each other meant to deceive, holding true the spy game, they were also distracting as one had to piece together what was happening quickly and by then the scene was over. However the acting was truly brilliant and the scenes were beautiful to behold.
saheffernan (157 KP) rated The Afterlife of Holly Chase in Books
Jan 1, 2020
I don't read Holiday novels especially Christmas I can be somewhat of a Grinch myself during this time. I have to say that Holly chase was the perfect introduction into a Holiday book character that I needed. I loved her snarky comments and commentary during the novel. The play on the classic Christmas Carol made it relatable enough because I knew that story and making the connection between the two during the story was fun to see in what ways it would come together. I think this is a classic book that could hold up to multiple re-reads even.
