Awix (3310 KP) rated Interlude (1968) in Movies
Apr 22, 2020 (Updated Apr 22, 2020)
Low-octane drama set in (barely) swinging London. A young reporter becomes the mistress of a temperamental conductor (orchestra, not bus) - she knows it's a bad idea, he knows it's a bad idea, but hey, hormones, I guess. Sure enough, everyone ends up unhappy.
Good-looking but vacuous, a sort of Hampstead novel of a movie, with the personal issues of affluent Londoners raised to a level of towering significance. The whole thing is in such lethal good taste it sucks any potential life out of the story (on the other hand you can have fun playing guess-the-body-part during the slightly baffling sex scenes). Passes the time but very predictable; very early appearances by John Cleese and Derek Jacobi pique the interest. The music and theme song are considerably better than the rest of the film deserves.

Remake
For a remake of one of my favorite movies it wasn't too bad. Hardy does a pretty good job in his adaptation of being Max. The story and stunts in the movie are good. The premise sticks with the original version of the Mel Gibson era movies. Not much I would change just needed better all around cast and acting to give it a better grade.
Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: Circular Time in Books
Jan 12, 2018
4 short stories make up Big Finish's first foray into anthology storytelling, and there isn't a bad one in the bunch. Outstanding storytelling, great acting (especially by my favorite guest star, David Warner) a deepening of the special relationship that five and Nyssa share, and a finale to die for. This might be my favorite Fifth Doctor story of the line thus far. Great audio!

Amazing first story
This is the first story to this series and I am head over heels in love with it. It's not a fluffy and sweet read.. It is harsh and hard and bad things happen.. but so many good good things happen as well. I love these boys.. and I am head over heels for Josh. He is perfection. This is an amazing story.

Gaston was bad ass but still guiltily lovable
loves it!
I'll be honest this was my favourite Disney movie and I was worried the movie would suck. So when it was AMAZING I cried in the movie theater along with every other female in the cinema at the time it was great!

Alright could have been better
While Wonder Women (2017) was an improvement upon the other DCEU films it still was found lacking in spots. The use of green screen was obvious in certain spots. The villain while built up to being the big bad god of war the reveal of being a pale British man made it a bit more humourish then what it should have been.

A New Take On An Outbreak
From the trailer for this i thought no, give it a miss, looks bad. Then Netflix kept recomending it to me until i buckled. I'm so glad i buckled, this is so funny and different from what you expect. Very funny characters and situations, just the look on the fathers face does it for me.
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated The Bad Batch (2016) in Movies
Jun 19, 2017
The casting of the film is interesting, neither helping nor hindering it. Waterhouse is lovely to look at but can't bring much life to Arlen beyond her beguiling face (to be fair, there isn't much of a character for her to work with).

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated The Silkworm in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I really enjoyed the first Cormoran Strike Novel. This one wasn't as good. I am not saying that [Silkworm] was bad but it was a little over written. There were a few too many red herrings that took away from the plot. Also unlike [Cuckoo's Calling] i actually figured out the perpetrator before they were identified. Still a good read especially for mystery fans.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) in Movies
Aug 24, 2017
A New Hope is the first movie I remember watching that wasn't animated. It was the first video tape my parents ever bought. It's my favorite out of all of the Star Wars films, and a great introduction to the world of Star Wars. It's got everything: Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin, young, attractive Harrison Ford, and bad ass Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia.
