"little earlier, I got on a binge of Korean thrillers and… Oldboy. As far as Korean thrillers go, Oldboy and I Saw the Devil exchange places [as] my favorite Korean film. [For the remake of Oldboy], they manage to completely ruin it. And I don’t know how they managed to so thoroughly ruin it, but they… They could have just re-shot it shot-for-shot and have the American screenplay be the subtitles of the Korean film and it would have been a fantastic movie. And they managed to poop all over celluloid. But the original one, phew. I highly recommend that whole… There’s a trilogy. It’s Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and, what’s the third one [Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance]? It’s a Vengeance trilogy and I love them all three. But that whole Vengeance series is amazing. Those Koreans know how to scare you."

All bets are off in the trilogy
A good 3rd act but somehow considerably weaker than the other films. This one is set around the set of Stab 2, the film within a film. It's not quite as witty, scary or funny as the first two, but still a decent entry.

Emotional end to the Trilogy
A magnificent film, a thinking mans action film.

Harrelson and Serkis performances are amazing, it continues to be a shame that Serkis doesn't get any Oscar nods for his work here.


The plot moves along at what feels like a breezy pace, a step up from the previous films which felt a little plodding.

Excellent Fantasy Series
I love Robin Hobb's books because they are all amazing. The Assassin's Apprentice is the first book in The Farseer trilogy and it's an excellent series. This is the book that starts it all and it is interesting with complex characters and wonderful storytelling. It's an excellent fantasy series and she has later books that involve more adventures with Fitz and the Fool that are equally brilliant.

The conclusion to the Southern Reach trilogy was completely anticlimactic. Not much actually happened in this novel. I think this is the first out of the three that actually uses the word 'alien' but not as a noun.
The novel bounces around between 4 characters, the lighthouse keeper, the psychologist, Control, and Ghostbird. Honestly, there was nothing new, and I was glad that it was a short book.

A Star Wars movie made be the numbers
If you use solo as a drinking game, you would be unconscious or even dead before the end of the movie.

Hal Solo gets.....
His Jacket takes a drink.
The Millennium Falcon take a drink.
And so on

So basically it's full of plot points we already know for the original trilogy and making feel like movie just made by the number.

Oh man i fall more and more in love with this author. I love her stories and this one was amazing. I loved seeing how miranda gets through everything she went through and still loves someone else. I loved seeing nick again but feel so bad for him. i have realized that I wish I had read these before the evil trilogy though. But, no biggies. amazing series
