David McK (3705 KP) rated Fast X (2023) in Movies
Dec 20, 2025
I remember when The Fast and the Furious movies used to be relatively grounded.
This one definitely isn't.
This time around, Jason Momoa plays the 'big bad'; out on a vendetta against Dom Toretto and his (extended) family, after the film retroactively ties him back to a villain from an earlier film.
Ludicrous?
Yes.
Also enjoyable enough.

Often cited as one of the most influential comic-books/graphic novels, alongside the likes of [b:V for Vendetta|5805|V for Vendetta|Alan Moore|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1343668985s/5805.jpg|392838]'V for Vendetta' and [b:Batman: The Dark Knight Returns|59960|Batman The Dark Knight Returns (The Dark Knight Saga, #1)|Frank Miller|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327892039s/59960.jpg|1104159]'The Dark Knight Returns', this was, if I'm honest, one such that I'd never even heard of until the 2009 movie of the same name.
Set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superhero's are (were) real but have since been outlawed, there's a definite argument to be made that this would inspire the Pixar film The Incredibles: family drama, costumed superheroes coming out of retirement, conspiracies afoot ... see what I mean?
But whereas The Incredibles is aimed at a family audience, this is anything but: violent throughout, slow (at times seemingly glacial) moving and even dealing with the effects of (and fallout from) rape, this is definitely not one for the younger reader!
On the plus side, it does have a stunningly realised world alongside a compelling backstory to several of the characters: like several other literary classics, this is one that I can now say that I've read but wouldn't really be rushing back to do so again anytime soon.

if you are one of those who are fans of Resident Evil game, I believed that watching this movie would definitely be really worthwhile. Now if you have not played the game, but you enjoy watching zombie killing movie, then this one is definitely an option.

David McK (3705 KP) rated Ballerina: From the World of John Wick (2025) in Movies
Feb 8, 2026
John Wick spin-off featuring Ana de Armas as a member of the Ruska Roma from the John Wick universe, who - after being trained by said Ruska Roma's - is on a vendetta against those who killed her father when she was a child.
Full of stylish action - the flame-thrower bit in particular is impressive - with Keanu Reeve's titular john Wick making a couple of cameos (and showing why he is so feared in 'this' world of the movie), this never-the-less seems to lack the bite of the action movies from which it is spun off.
Still worth a watch, though!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Six of Hearts (Hearts, #1) in Books

4.5 stars!
I got really into this. The mystery surrounding Jay and his vendetta against the woman who'd ran his name through the mud in her newspaper articles. Bu there was also something else there, something he wasn't saying.
I LOVED IT!
I can't go into too much detail or I'll give everything away but it was so well put together and thought out that it really impressed me.
The only reason I knocked it down half a star was Jay's behaviour towards Matilda at times. Saying that he wants to be friends and no matter how much he seems to want her she has to say no and when she doesn't he just gives in anyway. Mixed signals or what, Jay!
But nevertheless, I really enjoyed this story!
