Movie Favorite Watch

"I love the first Godfather movie, part one. And two. Another great director, Coppola. And then of course, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro. I had heard the stories about how they wanted a whole other cast, and Francis was under the gun and he rose to the occasion. He got great performances out of Pacino, and De Niro was unbelievable. All the secondary guys from Joe Spinell to Michael Gazzo. The casting was impeccable. He got a lot of great performances from people who were just getting into the business themselves. Duvall, everybody had so many layers. The performance he got out of Lee Strasberg, who never really did much acting in front of the camera. When I was in the Actor’s Studio, the only actor that Lee actually spoke to was Al, so [Coppola] used the relationship that the two had and that was quite interesting."

Book Rating

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

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
