Superman Returns (2006)
Superman Returns (2006)
2006 | Action, Drama, Sci-Fi
The reason I scored this movie so high is as an avid fan I saw so much potential for Brandon as Superman. The first quarter and last quarter of the movie was action packed and amazing. However this movie was let down during the middle half. It ruined the flow of the movie. Overall I did genuinely love this movie.

I picked up this book as a film version is coming out and I must admit, I'll probably watch it at some point. The love story itself for this novel is serviceable, but I could predict the entire plot within the first 20 pages and, at times, actually found myself cringing and rolling my eyes as I was reading certain lines. Not fun.

Meredith sucks you in the within the first few pages. I bought the entire book series before I was halfway through the 1st book. I fell in love with romance novels after reading this series. (0 more)

Great Series Opener
The heat between Erica and Blake is great. The plot is similar to 50 Shades, but it kept me on my toes.

The first 30-45 minutes of Nicole Kidman's performance (0 more)
This is one of my favorite musicals, and I absolutely love Ewan McGregor. The modern music was well done and melded into the film. The visuals are stunning.
However, Kidman's performance in the scenes in the beginning, in the elephant are some of the most annoying that I've ever had to watch.

Tara (0 more)
I began watching this show with zero expectations. It's not typically a show I would watch, but it did hook me within the first couple episodes. The one negative complaint I have is the completely boring character of Tara. I think Hunnam does a good job as Jax, and I love Ron Perlman in everything, so those were two high points.

I do love Elle Casey's humour in her books. I thought the first one was funny but this one...I couldn't stop laughing at some of the stuff she came out with. Total craziness but I loved it. The taunting that turned into something sweet and romantic. I loved them as a couple!

I can't wait to read more books by the author.

Album Rating
I've been a Taylor Swift fan ever since I heard Love Story for the first time when I was 10 years old so her music has been a constant in my life for over a decade! With this album, she's moved away from the autobiographical nature of her songs and has let her creativity flow and created a masterpiece of storytelling.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
2005 | Adventure, Family, Fantasy
I love this adaptation of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The casting for every character is pretty much spot-on, in my opinion. It honors the story, which is the most important part.
Also, I have to mention that this was the first movie I say James McAvoy in, and it made me a life-long fan. <3

This was one of the first, new-canon Star Wars comic runs. It's part of the 'Journey to Force Awakens' series, and picks up right after Return of the Jedi ends. It was a good start to new canon, and helped fill in some gaps. This run also introduced us to Poe's parents.
I also love the art for this series.
