Amazingly Witty

I expected it to be good since it was created by Gilmore Girls creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, but I didn't expect it to be perfect. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is timely, realistic, with writing so above-par that watching anything else after watching an episode, leaves you unsatisfied. By the last episode, I was so angry at myself for binging it, because nothing else seemed good enough afterwards.

Crystal (148 KP) rated The Martian (2015) in Movies

There are roles that feel like they were written for the actor. The main character feels like he was written for Matt Damon. I did read the book first and it was easy to picture Matt Damon as a witty braniac botanist. Probably because at the end of the day that's just who he is.

This movie is about a man's surviving, not only the untamed dessert wasteland that makes Mars, but also the crippling aloness of being the only human for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Aasiyah Sidat (34 KP) rated Stone Mattress: Nine Wicked Tales in Books

Jul 5, 2018

Atwood is the queen of thought-provoking, witty writing.

Stone Mattress is a collection of 9 stories based on old people. There is a mixed bag of characters from an author of a fantasy series to a disembodied hand that is madly in love.

All the stories in the book feature the characters looking back on their lives.

I really enjoyed the stories which had themes of romance, horror and brilliantly executed wit.

Movie Rating

A darker murderous take on the high school movie that is a fairly accurate representation of the cliques and the desperate desire to be popular that exist in high school. Christian Slater and Winona Ryder (in her early Tim Burton days) were great casting choices and make for a believable couple until the murder and mayhem start getting out of hand. Its perhaps looking a little dated now but it's still a very sharp and witty script and still quite relevant today. Well worth your time.
