Goldenarrow74 (10 KP) rated Red Dwarf Omnibus in Books
Jun 3, 2018
Never fails
Having been a fan of the tv show as long as I can remember, I have read this, comprising Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers and Better Than Life, dozens and dozens of times - and can quote great chunks.
Lister is slobbier than ever.
Rimmer is even more of an irritating worm.
The universe, time, death and reality are all their playthings - and I can only begin to imagine what Lister’s isolation on those peculiar worlds would be like.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Arrow - Season 3 in TV
May 28, 2018
The third season expands Team Arrow further, with Laurel Lance taking over the mantle of her sister, street thug Roy and Oliver's annoying sister Thea joining the team separately. The season focuses on the attempt to bring Malcolm Merlyn to justice, and eventually Oliver is forced to challenge Rhas al Ghul in a fight to the death. This season started to get a bit hammier, more panto, with the villain being quite hard to take seriously. It made me long for the days of Deathstroke and a bit of decent fighting.
Loz Hughes (80 KP) rated The Face of Love (2014) in Movies
Jul 23, 2018 (Updated Jul 23, 2018)
Thought provoking, sentimental and sad
A wife struggles to deal with her grief over the death of her husband who drowned when they were on holiday. Years later she bumps into the doppelganger of her husband, her consequences of her actions shape the film and events afterwards.
Worth a watch, bittersweet film, portrayed so well you feel empathy for each character and how fleeting life is.
Also I wouldnt call this a comedy....more drama, romance, nostalgia and grief.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated If I Stay (If I Stay, #1) in Books
Aug 6, 2018
I am not normally a fan of books without a “proper” ending, however this book finishes in the perfect place.
It follows Mia after a terrible car accident when she then has to decide is she wants to stay. The book is written very well between what is happening now and previous events from Mia’s life.
This book will make you think about life and death and how you would cope with certain situations.
Very exciting, it would appear there is a sequel set a few years later.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Sharp Objects in TV
Aug 28, 2018
Gripping, moving and thought-provoking, this short series follows a troubled journalist who returns to her childhood hometown to chronicle the investigation into a recent death and new disappearance of young girls. The series covers her issues, her family troubles, the town's history and the underlying layer of grime beneath the Southern hospitality. There are a number of strands to this series, all of which could have filled a series on their own, and are seamlessly intertwined to one complete storyline.
Excellently acted, written and directed, this series does not put a foot wrong.

MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated Making Faithful Decisions at the End of Life in Books
Oct 1, 2018
Nancy Duff, in the context of Christian faith, raises a number of questions for believers to take into account regarding death and making informed end-of-life decisions.
I found this book very helpful in raising questions based on faith as opposed to other books on the subject that have been more medical based.
Certainly a book worth reading and contemplating even if you yourself are not actively concerned about your own end of life. It helps the reader see other considerations that someone facing the end of life will be thinking about.

Andy K (10823 KP) rated Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) in Movies
Oct 2, 2018
And introducing Paul Rudd!
Wow what a low point in the Halloween series.
Michael is back to finish up murdering every surviving member of the Strode family in this nonsense entry in the series. Hard to believe 6 years after the last installment this is the best they could come up with.
Production problems plagues the film which I'm sure didn't help. It was painful to watch.
Too bad this had to be the last appearance of Dr. Loomis due to the death of Donald Pleasance.

David McK (3600 KP) rated Star Wars: Death Star (Star Wars) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
An OK addition to (the books I've read in) the Star Wars canon, the main focus of this one is obviously about the eponymous Doomsday device built by the Empire: the dreaded Death Star.
The vast majority of the book is actually about the construction of the same, told from the viewpoint of several different characters involved in and living on it, with the culmination of the novel the events that take place during "A New Hope".
In short, there's better 'expanded universe' Star Wars books out there.

David McK (3600 KP) rated The Crow Goddess (Lugh Mac Romain, #2) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The sequel to "A Shadow of Gulls", the Crow Goddess continues the story of Lugh the Harper and Cuchullain, although reading the former is not a pre-requisite to reading this.
Whereas the previous novel revolved mainly around the Ulster series of Legends (most particularly the Cattle Raid of Cooley), this novel takes place in both Roman Britain (the first half, and prior to the building of Hadrians Wall) and Ireland. The second part of the novel - the part in Ireland itself - concerns Cuchullains legendary death more than his legendary life.
Well worth a read!
