Joel (2 KP) rated John Wick (2014) in Movies
Feb 15, 2019
John Wick is that film that we needed, the action genre has suffered from bad action for years, but this film has some excellent hand to hand action scenes with some exciting moments and little deatails which make this film look great. The only true issue is the premise, it is often weak and it's often forgotten about in the film

Not bad, but probably not the best book to start reading James Bond with, I think. Honestly, I don’t know as I would read any more anyway. This was for my library’s reading challenge (a colour), and at least it was short!
Scaramanga is the villain of this piece, and I have to admit to preferring the film to the book - not something I’ve actually experienced before!!

I loved Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick it was amazing. I was hooked on this book 13 pages in. I loved the story between Patch and Nora. I had a bad feeling about Jules and Elliot from the beginning I knew something was off. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series this book gave me what I like to call "book hyperness" rush.
Dean (6925 KP) rated The Good Girl (2002) in Movies

A so-so very slow paced drama, with quite dark comic moments. A woman bored with her everyday life in a small town embarks on an affair with a colleague. After that it's just one problem after another. It does have the odd comic moment, but overall it can be quite a dreary drama. ok story and cast, very low budget. Not bad overall, far from great!

Very bad sequel
No complains about special effects, because it is an old movie. The movie is watchable, but it is too predictable. We do get to meet a new interesting character - a girl who can solve puzzles, and we also get to see the human side of demons, and that's about it. Everything else is either boring, not scary, or plain stupid.

Not bad at all horror that somehow made it under the radar and shamefully never got a cinema release.
It's very much in the vain of "The Wicker Man" but in my opinion it's superior, with a story filled with dread and genuine shocks that sometimes make it a difficult watch, stick with it though and you are rewarded with a decent addition to the horror genre.

ClareR (5674 KP) rated Norse Mythology in Books
Jun 14, 2019
A short and sweet book, but I would have been happy to read more! These are very human Gods: Thor seems rather challenged in the brain department, and Loki is the annoying child at the party (or anywhere!).
This is the complete opposite to the Marvel movies (neither a good or bad thing), and I feel it's more faithful to the original myths (go figure!). Thoroughly recommended!

Autumn (3 KP) rated All Together Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, #7) in Books

i jumped into this series at book 3. not many important spoilers. but then i jumped from book 3 to this one. BAD idea. HUGE spoiler. it's kind of ruined the beginning of the series for me. instead of enjoying the storyline and going with the flow i'm analyzing character actions.
besides the disappointment of knowing too much, it was still entertaining, though not my favorite.

A very enjoyable sequel with plenty of action. It's missing a certain something second time round though, maybe the detective work to track his daughter down added more suspense in the first. Good to see the daughter and ex-wife have larger roles this time though. Unfortunately though I got a bad feeling there could be a 3rd, which really would stretch the franchise too far.
Fran Donohoe (856 KP) rated Lady Bird (2017) in Movies

I never got why films like this (and 3 billboards) get nominated for Oscars ,while not a bad film it's very slow in parts where nothing much happens , it's billed as a comedy yet I didn't laugh once but i chuckled here and there , Ronan gives an average to be fair performance in a very forgettable film
