Ed R (53 KP) rated The Pandemic Plot (Ben Hope #23) in Books
Jul 14, 2021
Quite timely but notuch action
Contains spoilers, click to show
I feel that the book was written specifically to hit publisher targets as it feels quite short and light on the action of normal Ben Hope books along with all the twists. It seemed a very quick book to get to the ending where they discuss how a pandemic could happen today and not just in the past, it's quite timely having a book about a pandemic with what's going on but not a classic Ben Hope book for sure. Hopefully the next one will be better!

Wasn't sure I'd actually seen it but was roped into watching it and turns out I had...
A live action adaptation of another disney classic that seemingly went unnoticed probably due to lack of advertising.
Unlike more recently released L.I.A's, 2015's Cinderella was kept closer to the original story and was both fun & rather well grounded with with it's emotional input.
Although there have been many other versions of the Disney tale, this is personally the best to date.

Leah Conner (9 KP) rated The Great British Bake Off in TV

Your dead inside of you don't love GBBO
How do you not live this show!? It's everything you need in a baking show. The fun of a competition without the nastiness of your typical American based shows. They're pleasant and kind while still acknowledging shortcomings in the baked goods. The outtakes happen in real-time and hilarity is classic British style perfection. And the food... beautifully delicious creations that I dream of trying. If only I was a stronger baker. Watch this show... you won't regret it.

Peter G. (247 KP) rated In Bruges (2008) in Movies
Sep 4, 2019
Absurdly hilarious comedy of errors taking place in the wonderful city of Bruges.
Pairing up Gleeson and Farrell was a winning formula that provides hilarity in the most unexpected of places and the timing between the two is quite a thing of beauty.
Farrell manages to play his character with touch of innocent boyhood naivety mixed with violent tendencies, do not be mistaken these characters are totally nasty and psychotic and are fleshed out and believable.
It's a cult classic with outstanding performances with special mention to Fiennes for his overly psychotic turn.

Peter G. (247 KP) rated War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) in Movies
Sep 4, 2019
The last of the current trilogy and arguably the best.
It riffs upon established POTA tropes such as a believable reason for the loss of speech in humans and also the subtle introduction of Nova.
Effects are beautiful and animation of the apes with Andy Serkis continues to amaze with his performance.
it's a thought provoking story based upon a great escape/Prisoner of war type plot with a prison guard played by a very on form Woody Harrelson.
A fitting end to a better interpretation of Pierre Boulle's classic
