Movie Favorite Watch

"Terry Gilliam’s masterpiece proves he is the only true heir to Fellini (and Salvador Dalì as well). Brazil is over-the-top, terrifying, funny, and moving. A hilarious and violent dystopian tale of the future using elements of the past, it strangely seems more and more like our present. Terrorism, surveillance, cosmetic surgery, hacking, and authoritarian control: Gilliam’s prescience is astounding. Ian Holm turns in one of cinema’s great supporting roles as Mr. Kurtzman, Jonathan Pryce’s sniveling and cowardly boss. And it has one of the most crushing and haunting endings in movie history."

Book Favorite

"A haze-filled dream world of a novel about the survivors of nuclear fallout attempting to rebuild their lives and society. In my head, Fiskadoro mingled with old 1960s movie themes of young women growing up in small towns, wanting to leave their hometowns behind and be somewhere, anywhere, and someone, anyone, else. Maybe they’d glimpsed a highway billboard that advertised clothes, a car, a golden future, a possibility. Maybe, thanks to the machine of consumerism, they felt they were missing out on something they hadn’t even known existed."

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Dark Frost (Mythos Academy, #3) in Books

Sep 5, 2019

3.5 stars.

Still not my favourite series going but it's a quick and easy read with an interesting story arc running through the series with added little plotlines in each story such as who's going to be a reaper, Gwen searching for missing/stolen items and such.

The progression of Gwen and Logan's relationship (finally!) in this one had me smiling and wanting to cheer along with their friends at the end. It's about time guys!

I will be continuing the series at some point in the future but not yet.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Because of Low (Sea Breeze, #2) in Books

Sep 6, 2019

3.5 stars.

I like Abbi Glines' work, some more than others.

This started good, I liked the somewhat forbidden-ness of going after the girl your roommate says he's going to marry in the future. I liked the connection between Marcus and Low.

I just figured out the dilemma of both their families from more or less page 20. It was a bit too obvious so I have no idea why neither of them could figure it out sooner.

I have books 3 and 4 in this series and I'm going to read them next.

AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Pucked Under (Pucked #4.5) in Books

May 30, 2020

This became one of my favourite stories in the Pucked series by Helena Hunting. Following the explosive romance between Randy Ballistic and ice skater Lily LeBlanc.

They are just unable to stay away from each other, keep their hands off each other, and keep finding themselves in a bathroom together.

Helena stays true to the Pucked series, incorporating the other couples from previous stories, and introducing future characters. The story is as comical as the previous ones, packed with naughty language, naughty moments and yet more ice hockey.
