You don’t choose the pug life, it chooses you. Patrick (2018) #Review

“Patrick”, a featherweight new British comedy from the director of “Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie” is so smug that it might as well be subtitled ‘First World Problems: The Movie’. It’s a mercy, then, that it’s so utterly oblivious to its own sense of self-satisfied privilege and so very, very bland that it’s hard to summon up any kind of ire against it...

The Craggus (360 KP) rated Crazy Rich Asians (2018) in Movies

Crazy Rich Asians (2018) is crazy delightful. #Review

“Crazy Rich Asians” may open with some awful British racism, but it’s an effective shorthand way of introducing fearsome matriarch Eleanor Young (Michelle Yeo) and putting us firmly in the Young family’s corner. And it’s a necessary step too because we’re about to embark on a visually lavish exploration of the trials and tribulations of the lifestyles of the obscenely rich and wantonly famous, Singapore-style...

Auburn (57 KP) rated How to Flunk Magic in Books

I read this through Kindle Unlimited. Its a fun read of magic going wrong. This book reads like how I imagine a real life witch would handle magic. Not everything will go right and you have to learn to be yourself. Plus the boy was swoon worthy.
My only problem is that it is very British. The terms and writing are sometimes very difficult to understand.

Should you try it: Do you enjoy magic that goes horribly wrong?

A True Brit Gem...

From the jarring intense sound of a car smash followed by opening title I was in... A bonafide True British Gem with all the hallmarks of a true Seat of your chair Psychological Thriller begging the question "what wouldn't you do?". Tense powerful performance from leading man Matt Hookings surrounded by a top notch supporting cast, In this beautifully crafted, gorgeously shot and expertly executed independent must see movie... It's a strong Recommend from me!!!

Worldbuilding

Such an amazing story. It is hard not to fall in love with Termeraire and Lawrence.

Having his world pulled out from under him, Lawrence goes from being a captain of the British Navy to becoming a captain in the Serial Corps. Where he has to unlearn somethings and play catch-up with others in attempt to rejoin the Napoleonic Wars.

I highly recommend this book for fantasy lovers and alt history fans and more
