Murder in the Theater Means Trouble for Malloy
Frank and Sarah are upset to learn they can’t legally adopt Catherine, the little girl that Sarah has been caring for for several years, because, in the eyes of the law, Parnell Vaughn is her legal father. Fortunately, the actor is willing to sign his rights over to Frank and Sarah, but his fiancée wants some money from them. When Frank goes back to deliver the payment and get Parnell’s signature, he finds the actor dead in his dressing room. With Frank accused of the crime, he and Sarah have to clear his name. Who really murdered Parnell?
It's always a pleasure to pop back in on Sarah and Frank in 1899 New York City, and this book was no exception. I love the characters. As is often the case these days, we get parts of the story from four different points of view, and it is always easy to tell when we switch from one to the other. I did feel the plot wasn’t quite as good as usual for this series. There are a few twists and a strong climax, but it got bogged down in the middle. Still, fans will be happy to spend time with these characters we love. I know I did.

I think this movie was way better them the first one!! Little groot was so adorable and I loved how when he danced he still froze in front Drax. Kinda suck that Starlord finally figured out who his dad was only to turn out it was a di** and I think the actor could've been picked better then Kurt Russell. I was also hoping for more of a love connection between Peter and Gamora but the movie itself really over did it to over come them not really having one. I recommend this movie to everyone

Average
The best I can say about this film is that it was alright. The premise was good, although i don't think it was very well executed.
Jon Bernthal was great, probably the best actor in this. John Lithgow and JK Simmons were sadly underused, and I really didn't rate Ben Affleck. Anna Kendrick too seems to play the same character in pretty much every film she's in.
Still I liked some of the action and the comedy, although by the end I couldn't quite figure out what the point was in the investigation into the accountant?

The characters were captured in a realistic image. Not something you would see in some child's book, we're talking full-on adult image. It was very easy to imagine these fairytales creature walking in everyday life. (2 more)
Will Smith was a great actor to hold this roll. It wasn't so much his past stardom that pushed him forward, but his well known abilities to make different faces that conincide with certain scenes.
Well worth watching a second time to catch anything you miss the first.

Bad child actor in the last ep
Confusing Season Start
Great Continuation
Overall, Season 2 was an improvement of Season 1 in basically every aspect. It starts off exactly where it left off, which is a little confusing if you finished Season 1 awhile ago. I liked the character development and progression, and many of the plotlines were very interesting. Additionally, I enjoyed the greater overarching plotline and the antagonist. I also liked how it ended and I am excited to see Season 3, if it comes to be.

Great film
Mark Wahlberg is a strange actor. He's turned out some brilliant films (The Departed) and some awful ones (Transformers). Fortunately this not one of the latter.
I knew little about the aftermath and investigation into the Boston marathon bombing, so I found this to be very fascinating and interesting, but tense and harrowing at the same time. It's not a pleasant topic, but it was handled very well. My only issue would be that Mark Wahlberg's character wasn't real, but then I do understand why they've done this to have a central point in a tale of lots of multiple narratives.

What can I say about Suicide Squad? To be nice, the soundtrack was great and Margot Robbie did a good job with Harley. I cannot understand why the relationship between Joker and Harley is always romanticized, because it's definitely not romantic. The plot was rushed and discombobulated, and they underutilized characters. Why did they killed off Slipknot five minutes after introducing him? Why even waste the time introducing him? I personally can't stand Jared Leto as an actor, but I understood where they were going with the new Joker. But, in comparison to Heath Ledger, he was trash.

CGI with the use of real Lego was awesome

The plot was jumbled and confusing
Very Humourous
It was a pretty cool movie, the CGI was really clever and the combination of that with the use of real Lego made it pretty awesome. Will Arnett is a hilarious actor which made it enjoyable, however, I wasn't a fan of the storyline. It felt jumbled and confusing, and Batman generally being a douche got on my nerves after a while. A good family movie made better with 3D but not something I would watch again.
