Dean (6927 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) in Movies
Jul 30, 2017
Some great action scenes (2 more)
Cool new characters
Links well to the older films
Deja vu
It's great to see a Star Wars film back on the big screen. It has plenty of action, a good mix of new characters with some old favourites. The Sfx and battle scenes are great. The only disappointment for me, without giving too much away, was that it seemed to take key plotlines and scenes almost straight from the original 3 films and reused them again. Still it's a fun entertaining film and well made to keep the fans happy.

Stellar plot (3 more)
Engaging mystery
Well rounded characters
Good ending
Absolutely amazing!
"Spirit Circle" is an amazing manga that pairs characters that are well rounded and have interesting motivations with a story that is genuinely engaging. The main characters Fuuta and Kouko are dynamic and sympathetic, while not overpowering the side characters. Additionally, the manga isn't overstuffed with the traditional tropes that you would expect to find in an adventure. The art is beautiful and fits the mood perfectly.
Overall, it's just an amazing read and I would highly recommend it if you are into a good mystery.

I haven’t watched this in quite a while, and as last night was ‘Family Film Night’, and this was free on amazon prime, I thought we might as well watch it.
My 11 and 13 year olds thought it was hilarious. Honestly, I thought it was very funny too. It never gets old. And the Bohemian Rhapsody bit has to be one of my favourite parts in a film (like, ever!).
I don’t know whether this would get made now, but I’m glad it was made then! The whole ‘Shwing’ bit went down VERY well with my young teenaged/ pre-teen boys. Unsurprisingly!

Dean (6927 KP) rated Rambo (Rambo IV) (2008) in Movies
Apr 7, 2018
This is a very good enjoyable , but simple film, even for a action film the plot couldn't be more straight forward. Yes this is far more violent, bloody and gory than the previous three. Done very realistically as well similar to the scenes on the beach in saving private ryan. A brutal bloody film and entertaining as a modern day action film. Despite his years Stallone's character is believable in this and he doesn't over do any stunts, action unlike some of the other Rambo films. Well worth seeing if you have seen the others or not.

Updates in real time regarding traffic and accidents (2 more)
Can link with Spotify
Good GPS
Really reliable!
Really good GPS! Would argue better than actual Google maps!
This GPS alerts you when you are going over speed, alerts you of any mile changes, as well as any upcoming accidents, speed cameras and police cars. So make you very wary of your surroundings even more so!
Also links with your Spotify music as well which is rather handy when the app alerts you, ad it doesn't skip part of a song, it just pauses and resumes after notifying you of any updates.

fantastic read
This is the sixth book in this series by this author. This is such an amazing series, you just have to read each book. I love how the characters from the other books appear in all books. This book is fun, with bits of angst, hot and steamy scenes. Everything is written so well with everything fitting perfectly into the story, The characters in this book are amazing and very well written. I can't wait for more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

This is so cute! There’s not much I can say in a review for this since it is basically a novelty picture book, but I loved it.
There’s a cute little illustration of a hug on every page and I just find it really heartwarming. It’s one of my go-to feel-good books that will always cheer me up as well – I just have to flick to a random page for a smile.
I love that there’s little quotes mixed in as well. It’s just such a loving little book and would make a great present to anyone

Stephen (210 KP) rated Summer of 84 (2018) in Movies
Apr 4, 2019
Thoroughly enjoyed this, it was lovely to relive that 80’s movie vibe. If you enjoy ‘Stranger Things’ then you may enjoy this too, although the storyline is nowhere near as in depth as ‘Stranger Things.’
Well acted, the film takes things slowly but tension soon mounts, and ultimately leads to tragedy, and a very dark ending. I’m pleased the ending wasn’t a cop out, as this makes a refreshing change in this genre of movie.
More thriller than horror, it makes a change to watch something that’s obviously had a lot of thought and passion go into it. Well worth a watch.

fantastic read
This is the first book I've read by this author and it definitely won't be the last. This story has it all, funny laugh out loud moments, a very real feel and everyday modern issues. The characters were really well written and the story line around them was fantastic. The English slang is really well done and adds humour to the characters. This book will hook you from the first page. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
