Dean (6927 KP) rated The Tournament (2009) in Movies
Apr 30, 2018
A simple if entertaining action film. A plot that has been done quite a few times now, this time based around a group of assassins taking over a small town every 7 years for a battle royale to find the last one standing. Tons of action in this, some good fights, chase scenes and stunts and quite a bit of blood. The standard of the cast including Ving Rhames, Ian Somerhalder of Vampire Diaries, and the pace of the film raise it above average. Very enjoyable eye fodder!
Lindsay (1760 KP) rated Brush of Angel's Wings (Heaven On Earth #2) in Books
Feb 15, 2018
This was fun to read and see that an angel speaks in this book. It there to help two people. It was sweet to see the two angels battle in the book. The funny things they do to get the two people to listen. I really like it with Jordan that he get different things.
It was kinda different for Rachel. Though Rachel need to understand what happened to her brother and learn about forgiving. You would be surprise with all the things that happen and what comes of it.

LOVE THIS FILM!!!
I can watch this film every day for a week and still love it as much on the Sunday as I did on the Monday!
Robin Williams yet again MAKES this film! His battle with Captain Hook, and learning about his past...
It is funny, light hearted and a perfect film to watch with the family.
Also considering the time it was made, aside from the croc, the effects in this are really good! But I think that the croc looks fake on purpose... or is that just me?

My Quick Spit of Fortnite Battle Royale
Fortnite BR is a beautifully made game developed by Epic Games. It is an immersive multiplayer experience in which 100 players compete to be number one. Getting a victory royale is incredibly satisfying, and the satisfaction is intensified knowing that you had a choice to either take the game fast-paced or slow-paced.
The only downsides to the game are the continuous bugs that keep popping up, but don't let that stop you from playing one of the best games of all time!

I Love Movies Like This
I am a big fan of Marvel, and I couldn't have been happier with this movie. Thor is one of the classics, based off of ancient mythology. He is a God. A protector. In this movie they gave him a funny side and it makes it that much more enjoyable.
I love the realistic sarcasm that was thrown into the battle scenes. While the costumes are a bit odd, the movie itself is well made and I would definitely watch it again.

David McK (3562 KP) rated Conquest (Making of England, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
A fictionalised retelling of the life story of Hereward of Bourne (also known as Hereward the Wake): an Anglo-Saxon who lead the resistance against William the Conqueror following his victory against Harold at Senlac Ridge, in what would become known as the Battle of Hastings.
While it is a name I had heard before, I have to say it's not a story that I was familiar with (unlike that of, say, Robin Hood or King Arthur) - this, however, I actually found to be rather a dry read.

David McK (3562 KP) rated Sharpe's Challenge (2007) in Movies
Dec 10, 2019
2-part TV movie that takes, as it's basis, the earlier-set (India) but later-written of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series of books.
As the actors have aged somewhat since the 90s, this has to take a few liberties with the plot (and covers several of those earlier books), such as setting this after the Battle of Waterloo instead of in the late 1790s, and by replacing Sergeant Hakeswill with another such like character: unfortunately, as there's no real history between that character and Sharpe, the animosity between the two characters never really sits right.
