David McK (3600 KP) rated Christmas Eve in Books
Apr 3, 2022
I read this when it was provided as an addendum to 'Battle Ground' (that's book #17).
I was unaware that, apparently, this had also been released previously, on Jim Butcher's own website, back even before Peace Talks (or book #16) was released.
it is set after Battle Ground - thankfully giving no spoilers but only dropping hints to what will transpire - with Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, attempting to put together a bicycle for his daughter on Christmas Eve, while staying with Michael and Charity Carpenter.
A bit like Scrooge, he receives numerous supernatural visitors on that night (although for very different reasons than Scrooge did!), with the final visitor and the final portion of the story bringing a tear to the eyes.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Marvel's Daredevil - Season 1 in TV
Sep 21, 2017
Brilliantly executed backstory of the devil of Hell's Kitchen and his battle with the kingpin (before he becomes the kingpin). Matt Murdoch splits his life between his up and coming legal practice and fighting crime on the streets of New York city.
Well written, acted and directed, this is very stylish yet gritty and engaging throughout.

Great film. The opening sequence with the battle to protect the "Harbulary batteries" is exquisite.
The humour present in the first film is still there, though at times it is somewhat buried under conflict between Star Lord and Rocket.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the Guardians interact with the Avengers in the Infinity Wars films.

Compelling battle scenes
Real-time strategy Star Wars game set before the construction of the Death Star. Your ability to play on either side as well as the move-by-move structure to try and take over the galaxy one planet at a time was great in the Star Wars universe.

My boyfriend and I have wasted much a night playing duos. We can't get enough of this Battle Royale simulation. I think the cartoon characters make it more fun.
It's pretty easy to learn and very entertaining to play. I've won twice by just staying in the circle and being stealthy. I'm not much of a shooter.

Fantastic sci fi show. It does a pretty good job of following the comic. The characters are complex and interesting. The story is great and keeps you guessing. The battle scenes are exciting and as the show progresses you see the characters evolve and get to know more of their story. It's a great sci-fi show.

Hammer time!
A very good comic based action film. It didn't quite live up to the hype for me, still feel there are a few better super hero films around. It was very entertaining though, with a well chosen cast, slick SFX , good battle scenes and some light hearted humour. A fun film that hammers the action in!
