Nice ideas ok execution
Good to see Sean William Scott doing something other than a fratboy comedy. Taking on a Dexter style role in this film as he works as a social worker at a college. Distributing his own brand of justice.
Low budget and it shows at times. Despite the short run time the film does feel quite slow. Not a bad thriller but could have been much better.

Jewels (684 KP) rated Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones in Books
Jun 27, 2022
Well written. (2 more)
Easy to follow.
Well organized.
I don't usually read non-fiction, let alone self help books. I dove into this one as a choice for some PD hours over the summer. Definitely a good choice- it was engaging, well organized, easy to follow and very easy to read. Anyone wanting to build good habits or change old or bad habits would find this little gem useful.
David McK (3843 KP) rated Troll (2022) in Movies
Jun 14, 2026 (Updated Jun 14, 2026)
Norwegian 'creature feature', with a Troll from Scandinavian folklore - so not the cute and cuddly variety we may be more used to - being awakened from its slumber in the Norwegian mountains, and heading inexorably towards Oslo whilst those in charge - at least initially - struggle refuse to believe just what it is and then struggle to come up with ways of stopping it.
Not bad, but not brilliant either (IMO).

both Jude and Danyal suffer here.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 4 in the Basic Instincts series, and it can be read as a stand alone. I do however, personally recommend that you do read them in order. It will give you a better picture of Blyham and what has happened and what is still happening there.
Jude has returned home, after years on the cruise ships. Danyal is an old school friend and the attraction between them still lingers. Then Jude witnesses a murder, Danyal's police colleague is murder and the killer is playing games.
What I loved about this book, was, although the Blyham Strangler was mentioned, the recent spate of attacks on the gay community are someone else. Someone who we get to hear from and I love LOVE hearing from the bad guys! But they have no connection to the strangler. They are twisted and deadly, especially after what happens to Danyal's colleague.
The book is dark and deadly with on page violence that is absolutely needed. It's emotional and heart wrenching. Both Danyal and Jude suffer losses here in the most horrific way and you feel for them. It brings them closer, though and I loved that neither felt the need to push the other away.
I didn't think it was as steamy as the other books. This one concentrates more on the emotional connection, I find, than the smex. There is smex, sure but it's a second to the crime and the bad guy and what happens there.
The bad guy gets his comeuppence, in the most ironic way, considering what happens earlier in the book.
Will there be more? I'm not sure Blyham can handle another bad guy, to be honest! But if there is, I'll read it!
5 dark and deadly stars.

A Brand New Ed
This album has really impressed me and sort of brought me back to Ed Sheeran's fan base. Admittedly, I'm kind of snobby when it comes to bad language and I kind of hate when artists use bad language unnecessarily (I have three little sisters that don't need to hear that). When Ed Sheeran first broke out, I was in love at first listen, but as time wore on and his foul mouth became a part of every song, I kind of stopped listening or caring. This album I knew was different the moment I heard "Castle on the Hill" and then when I heard an interview with Ed talking about a cab driver who said if there was less cursing in his music he would let his daughter listen to it and how Ed took that to heart, I knew I had to check it out. I've been pleased ever since. This album takes every little good thing about Ed (minus the potty mouth) and turns it into these beautiful, meaningful songs that share new sides to him, and expand on pieces of him we knew were already there. I think Ed is fabulously innovative with music and someone I will always watch out for when new albums drop in the future.
Kristy H (1252 KP) rated Those Girls in Books
Feb 13, 2018
Jess, Dani, and Courtney live in a neglected house with their abusive and drunken father. One night, after a particularly bad fight, the girls have to flee town quickly -- only to see things go from bad to worse as their truck breaks down during their journey. Eventually, the story picks up 18 years later (with the girls living under new names), when a turn of events threatens to tear down the lives they've managed to somewhat re-build.
This book was rather bizarre, I have to say. First of all, do not read this if you are triggered by scenes of brutal abuse or rape. Just don't. Terrible things happen in this book. It was almost mind-numbing to read - almost too much.
I'm still not sure how I feel about this one. The sisters drove me a bit crazy. It seemed like one bad decision after another with them. I know they are young when they initially leave home, and abused, but seriously? Then it just seems like the book was a series of misfortunes after another. I feel like Stevens could have limited it at some point. However, it was all oddly compelling, and I found myself reading the whole thing rather compulsively, even if I was constantly disappointed and disheartened by each turn of events.
(Note: I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in return for an unbiased review.)
