Dee Sigelkow (6 KP) rated Bird Box (2018) in Movies
Feb 27, 2019
Was a bit reluctant to watch because of mixed reviews. My thirteen year old watched it first and insisted we all sit and watch together. Sandra Bullock was excellent in the movie. The story kept my attention, although I thought it was a bit slow moving. Very thought provoking, and had my family discussing afterwards. It did remind me a bit of The Walking Dead. I would recommend watching it to others.

Excellent
This movie was exactly what you'd expect from a pairing of Reynolds and Jackson. Great acting, great action and hilarious comedy. The flashback scenes had me rolling! These two were great together and everyone was great in their parts, as well. It even has a couple good twists in it ans some serious beauties in Elodie Yung and Salma Hayek!(both great actresses) I definitely recommend this one to any action/comedy fans. Worth a watch!
Audiobook: Stephen Fry’s excellent book narrated expertly.
I love Stephen Fry’s voice, and he reads his book so well. There’s great detail and great story choices. I’m a big fan of Greek mythology anyway, ever since I was a child, and this is a superb way to revisit those stories. It’s a great selection, I really enjoyed his take on the stories and what he added to the dialogue of the Gods, Goddesses and unfortunate humans.

Excellent Disney family fun
For anyone expecting a reason for this film, there isn't one other than the essence of cinema itself. Entertainment.
Went with my 2 boys 9,11 and came out with happy faces. Having watched the original I can understand the negativity this movie may receive but for kids watching this the first time it's pure Disney magic.
Ticked all the right boxes and frankly couldn't ask for more from a movie.

May 7, 2019
This is the third book in this series by this author. This is a fun steamy read which you come to expect from this author. This book has excellent characters which bring the story to life. You will not want to pout this book down until you've finished it. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Class comedy drama
What could be a boring story regarding a womans life after her husbands death gets spun on its head. Christina Applegate and the rest of the cast put their acting capabilities to the full with this biting story about grieving, loss and redemption.
The twists come thick and fast without being contrived. Give it ago it feels fresh for such a well treaded subject.

Dana (24 KP) rated The Buried Giant in Books
Mar 23, 2018
This was an interesting book that ties in heavily to the Arthurian legends I have been reading all throughout this quarter. While I enjoyed it for the most part, it was quite slow in places. That being said, it was masterfully done. I loved all the allusions to the Arthurian romances, especially the introduction of Gawain and the ties into Beowulf throughout that scene. Ishiguro did an excellent job, it just wasn't fully my cup of tea.

Worth a watch
I know some people may be put off think this is only for teenagers, however this dark and thrilling drama is suitable for adults of all ages. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the show, and binged it in a few days. It had a few twists and the plot didn’t always go where you expected it to go. I am excited at the prospect of a second season.

So close to perfect!
The lack of DLC keeps this from being rated as Epic. There is no reason why it’s taking so long to get additional vehicles (Dolphin Dasher), characters (Birdo), box items (Mega Mushroom) and additional courses.
