A very good adult comedy. I think it works so well as you have good actors in the smaller roles who don't normally do comedy. Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx are both great and good to see more of Jennifer Aniston doing something different to the nice girl next door Rom-com's. Good chemistry between the 3 lead charaters as well. It's very funny!

I have really conflicted feelings over this book. I think, yes, it was good, but it could have been a lot better as well. This is short, because, honestly, I don't know what to think. There were funny and sad moments, but none so wonderfully well written enough for me to fall in love with the book like I do with so many others.

While it is excellent work, this is not really an entertainment read. Ward lays out so much in story far more powerfully than any essay on American race relations, trauma, privilege, and rural southern life ever could. It was chilling, moving, eyeopening for me. I definitely want to read Ward's other books.
The audiobook is very well done as well, read by a talented cast.

A good cop drama about a family in the force, thrown into an awkward position when a case exposes some dirty cops from their precinct. A very enjoyable film, with a well assembled cast. Might be a little confusing at the start as to who is bad and who isn't though. It doesn't have a great deal of action but it's still a good story well told.

Cool
I'm a fan of DC and was hoping they did this one right. I wasn't disappointed. The acting was great- everyone played their parts well. The visuals and effects were pretty amazing and the story turned out to be really well done and moved along at a nice pace. If you're a fan of comic book movies you'll definitely enjoy this one. With a watch!

Thiefy yet wrinkly
Good film about a heist, sort of like oceans 13 with grandpa's. It's a good story with plenty of strong points.
There's a fairly well known cast boasting such names as Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent, Ray Winstone, and Michael Gambon.
Lots of backstabbing going on as well as these fellas prove at any age, there's no honour amongst thieves.

Hugely engaging storyline
Innovative concept, executed well
New Favourite Book. Yes, Of All Time.
This book has taken the top spot of my favourite book, possibly ever. I loved the storyline, the concept, the characters and how they developed, how well I could relate as a woman to the characters. Everything wa just incredible.

I really enjoyed the book. It was well rounded for a short story. Basically, without going into too much detail it’s the story of a fisherman who finds a pearl that changes beyond recognition and shows the evil and greed that jealousy causes. Even though you get a sense early on that it won’t end well for Kino and Juana, the last page is a shocker.
