Guts Over Fear
The Equalizer- i love this movie. I remember when i saw this back in 2014 and i loved it. The acting, the drama, the suspense, the violence and Denzel. A good guy gone rogue. A good guy gone bad. Who knows his skills and will use his skills to the test to kill bad guys.
The plot: Robert McCall (Denzel Washington), a man of mysterious origin who believes he has put the past behind him, dedicates himself to creating a quiet new life. However, when he meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a teenager who has been manhandled by violent Russian mobsters, he simply cannot walk away. With his set of formidable skills, McCall comes out of self-imposed retirement and emerges as an avenging angel, ready to take down anyone who brutalizes the helpless.
Its a excellent movie and a must watch film.

4.25 stars.
I liked it, just not as much as the previous books. Don't get me wrong, I love this series. Lon and Cady together as a couple is genius. Jupe is cool. The demons and world these guys live in is really thought out.
I just had one issue with it and that was the spell they used on Cady. It felt a lot like reliving the last 3 and a half books all over again with her not remembering the relationship with Lon and sort of falling for him all over again
The ending also wasn't as in-your-face/kill-that-biatch intense as I was expecting but I'm so glad that Cady managed to overcome her demons.<br/><br/>I have to mention the epilogue! I loved it! The way the author wrote it... *sigh* I wish there was going to be more.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Throne of Glass in Books
Jan 11, 2021
Celaena was just what I liked in a character; bad arse, beautiful and someone who gives as good as she gets.
The cover is great and grabs your attention but at the same time slightly deceiving (it was what put me off buying it for so long) as it makes the book look so fantasy-esque when in fact, it's about a young (blonde) girl who rediscovers her femininity while kicking other guys arses in Tests she has to go through to become the King's Assassin, while at the same time trying to unearth an evil force.
This was an adventure, with high and lows and awww's and ewww's and I was hooked from the very first page.
The romance aspect caught me up in it too, though I think I'm 100% in Chaol's court.
Looking forward to reading Crown of Midnight now to see what happens next!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Alice in Zombieland - White Rabbit Chronicles in Books
Sep 5, 2019
From the title, I was expecting [b:Alice's Adventures in Wonderland|1898443|Alice's Adventures in Wonderland|Lewis Carroll|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1397939992s/1898443.jpg|2933712] only with zombies: a mad hatter, a red queen, white rabbit etc. Well we had a white rabbit but not in animal form, the others were nowhere to be seen and therefore it was nothing like Alice in Wonderland.
She was just a girl who lost her family in an accident and saw zombies for the first time.
To say it was nothing like I expected I have to admit that after those first 50 pages or so that I fell into the story quite easily. Cole had my attention from that first connections with Alice and some of the other guys grew on me too.
I have the second book in the series and I'm sure I'll get around to reading it eventuallybut not yet.

AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Strike Back - Season 5 in TV
Aug 11, 2020 (Updated Aug 11, 2020)
As an insomniac, I struggle with finding ways to entertain myself for hours... enter my new now tv subscription. And discovering Strike Back. I am not exactly watching them in the intended seasonal order.
Strike Back (season 5) Legacy is a ten part high octane fuelled, action packed explosive drama series, featuring some very familiar faces, some bad language and lots of guns.
This season sees Stonebridge, Scott and the team go through some highs and lows travelling the world from Thailand to North Korea and then Switzerland and the US. They take on a number of bad guys, in completely impossible situations bring some sex and comedy to the mix. It’s hard not to like these two and their antics. Expect some loss, heartache and heroics.
If you are after all out action, easy to follow story lines and basic entertainment, this is the show for you
