David McK (3929 KP) rated Aquaman and the lost kingdom (2023) in Movies
Sep 1, 2024
If I had to choose one word to describe this movie, that would be it.
And I mean colourful literally: lots of gold, green and blue splashed across the screen.
Anyway, this is a direct sequel to 2018s 'Aquaman', picking up roughly 4 years after the events of that film and with Arthur Curry now married, ruling Atlantis and with a kid of his own.
However, David Cain's Black Mantis has not forgiven nor forgotten about Aquaman, and has recently come into possession of long-forgotten Atlantean magick/tech (hence 'the lost kingdom' of the title) and is still out for revenge on Arthur Curry and his family, leading Arthur to have to break his own brother Orm (the Oceanmaster of the previous film) out of custody and seek a way to counter the threat ...
If this is the last of the current DCEU, I have to say, it's a bit 'wet' (pun intended) of a closure.

ClareR (6256 KP) rated The Hawthorne Legacy in Books
Nov 9, 2021
The clues come thick and fast, as so the death threats. Avery is still trying to deal with the fact that her father wants to get his hands on the money too, and he will do all that he can to make sure that he gets ‘his share’.
Grayson and Jameson Hawthorne are still being their enigmatic selves, and Avery appears undecided as to which brother she likes best (why choose?!).
By the end of the book, a lot of questions are answered, but there are plenty more that need resolving.
I’ll be very interested to see what happens in the next instalment!
