Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Human Universe in Books
Jul 29, 2017
Complex, interesting requires careful reading
An excellent journey into the origins of the universe and what makes human beings so unique within it. It's always been a fascinating concept, and it's interesting because Brian Cox attempts to make the topic more accessible to those less inclined to read science based books.
However, there are still complex theories and formulas discussed so I'd suggest reading and absorbing the information than listening and losing focus. Better still, watch the documentary when it is aired on TV.

Stephen King story
Something is in the Mist
Personally I thought this was excellent! Heard little about it before seeing it, but once I heard it is based on a Stephen King story I had to check it out. It certainly is typical Stephen King stuff, weird and wonderful. A mix of Cloverfield and the Fog. If you haven't seen it go check it out!
The DVD has the option to watch it in black and white.

This film is superb, following the original three games, The Eternal Diva shows style and fluidity matching the games. The scenes are very well done and provide and excellent story that manages to fit puzzles like that of the games within it.
The fact that they have Luke begin the film by acting as a PR man for the first three games is amusing too.
I particularly enjoyed the operatic scenes of the film, as well as the revealing of Melanie's possession of Janet.

It states on the inside cover that its central character is reminiscent of Forest Gump, that is so correct. The plot line is about somebody who spends his life eating and drinking and during a huge emotional moment he decides to cycle across America so learning about himself and others along the way and yes there is the love element. Agree with another person who rated this that it would be an excellent book for a book club where it can be dissected and discussed. Highly recommended.

Awesome
What an amazing third installment to a great trilogy. The acting, cinematography and story were excellent. Macavoy shows unbelievable acting ability once again as the Horde. Willis and Jackson were phenomenal as well. The story played out beautifully with it's many twists and turns and an unexpected ending. If you liked the first two of M. Knight's dark 'superhuman' style movies you will love this one. If you're a fan like me, however, it will definitely leave you wanting more! REALLY worth a watch!
Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Burn So Bad in Books
May 7, 2019
This is the first book I've read by this author and it definitely won't be the last. I was hooked from the first page, I read this book in one sitting. Excellent chemistry between the characters. A lovely story to bind them together. This is definitely a hot and steamy read. The characters were well written and worked perfectly with the story. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Love this show
Contains spoilers, click to show
This show was so good and Netflix made an awful mistake by canceling it after 3 seasons. Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore had amazing chemistry and I really wanted to see what zombie Joel would be like. First thing I said when season 3 ended was damn cant wait for the next season. Then Netflix was like Haha you will never know. If it wasnt for Stranger Things and Supernatural I wouldve cancelled.

Gripping remake lets it's Scandi roots show.
Contains spoilers, click to show
A truly excellent thriller, this U.S. remake of a Norwegian film retains the feel of it's Scandinavian genesis.
Tense, twitchy and enthralling with fantastic performances, potent settings, and a great script and direction.
Pacino plays an L.A. cop hiding from his own guilt while investigating the death of a girl in Alaska.
Robin Williams is chillingly convincing as the manipulative bad man, proving yet again that he was a masterful actor as well as a gifted comedian.

Very good!
I have always had a love for beauty and the beast. It was my second favorite movie as a kid with the Little Mermaid as first. But as I got older, beauty and the beast became my favorite. I loved Emma Watson in this. She did an excellent job of portraying Belle. They did a wonderful job of selecting actors that matched the original animated characters as well. Disney definitely brought it to life.

The first superhero movie I've enjoyed in a while
An inspiring female superhero that girls can look up to! Gal Gadot performs amazingly as Diana. The CGI looked very unrealistic at times, but it was a great movie - the plot was decently structured, and I just was really engrossed in the storyline. It's the first superhero movie that I've thoroughly enjoyed for some time.
