Alicia S (193 KP) rated Guardian Angel (Angel's Halo MC #3) in Books
Sep 28, 2018
I absolutely fell in love with this series from page 1! Incredible MC series that follows so many great characters where the guys are all just a bunch of big softies for their women. ;-) I love everyone in this group.. the brothers are hot, tough, alpha bikers who would do anything to protect their women and families. The ladies have all gone through so much and are all so different but all such interesting characters each with crazy stories and pasts of their own.
I've said this in past reviews throughout this series but what I love the most about it is that it follows everyone.. one book does not just cover one character or couple, but you are able to follow along with everyone's story throughout. LOVE IT! I've laughed and cried, feeling so close to these characters and am so sad I've finally reached the end. CAN'T WAIT for more books in this series!! HIGHLY recommended!!

Best cameo ever!
So glad Ryan Reynolds finally found a character he could really live in. Had always thought he was a cool, funny actor but had never really connected with a role before this one.
More of the same from the last film here, so if you liked that you will like this.
This time he teams up with Cable and his self created band of amateur heroes the "X-Force" to fight more bad guys and try and save a young mutant from killing someone and going to far.
Great soundtrack, random movie references which is one of the things I love most, but thought it dragged in some parts where it was sort of dull and not much happening. Some of the jokes fell flat and the characters talked too fast so you couldn't understand them.
Great action and car chase scenes make this a very entertaining film to experience.

A great story (2 more)
Actually a good sense of humor
Tom hiddelston's french accent is hilarious
Early man is great but forgettable
Ok...so I bet you're wondering what is this? Well let me explain it's a movie from ardman animation, the guys behind Wallace and gromit and it's a love letter to soccer or football as the UK calls it. The reason this didn't get any attention was because the same day it came out in theaters a certain panther themed marvel superhero movie came out so it's easy to understand why. This movie is slow but once it gets done introducing the main characters it picks up. The humor is hilarious and Tom hiddelston's accent was most of the humor!
Does it hold a torch to Wallace and gromit and chicken run? Of course not but at the same time it's a great movie.
I recommend watching it if you're in the mood to watch something or if you need to keep kids quiet

Dec 19, 2019 (Updated Jan 14, 2020)
A horror film for children - is what Monster House is marketed as, and it's pretty much just that.
The animation style is different, looks a little ropey by todays standard but is still pretty charming.
The narrative really drags to begin with, with characters who are hard to get on board with (accept the grumpy old man, that guys speaks to me...)
The halfway mark is a turning point. When it becomes clearly obvious that the kids are being terrorized by a living house intent on eating them, it feels like a crazy episode of Scooby Doo.
The final 15 minutes or so are great, and where the animation is at its best. It also packs in a genuinely sad plot point that lends the movie an emotional edge, and it's the exact kind of thing that makes these kind of films good.
There are certainly better animated films out there, but it's not the worst way to spend an hour and a half.

so i have to admit i looooove this book i always root for the bad guys so no surprise that roth was my fave character throughout this whole book and the ending omg i cried . found layla to be a bit of a whinny immature lil thing but she wasn't bad as some characters iv come across but being brought up with gargoyles and demons and going demon tagging i wanted to be a bit tougher than she was. zayne uh what a sweat heart but roth uuuuuuugh hes an arshole you cant help but love. this book had me gripped. the action. tho steamy romance. the suspense and and the unfolding of the whole story line i just love it took me 8 hrs to get through (i also have children to look after in between reading so that shows how into this book i was) im so looking forward to the second book in this series
Barry Newman (204 KP) rated Rambo: Last Blood (2019) in Movies
Feb 9, 2020
This is certainly very different in tone to the previous films and doesn’t really feel like a traditional Rambo film. It’s more of a formulaic action revenge film that borrows heavily from ‘Taken’ and unfortunately does nothing to dispel the Trumpian stereotype of a Mexico populated solely by violent criminals. So no it’s not a brilliant film by any means but it still certainly kept me entertained for 90 minutes with plenty of switch your brain off thrills. I’m a big fan of Stallone and I enjoyed his performance here and I couldn’t help but feel for Rambo as he has the tiny bit of happiness he’d manage to find taken away and is forced back into a world of death and violence. The violence when it comes is incredibly graphic and quite satisfying especially in the finale as Rambo dispatches with the bad guys on his booby trapped ranch. All in all though one of the weaker films in the series but still an enjoyable ride.
Gareth von Kallenbach (980 KP) rated Pompeii (2014) in Movies
Aug 6, 2019
A big movie with big sound.
Pompeii stars Kit Harington (Milo), Emily
Browning (Cassia), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Atticus), and Keifer Sutherland
(Corvus).
The soundtrack added a lot to the feeling of “rallying for the
good guys.”
The casting was well thought out & characters well
played, especially Cassia & Milo.
Sutherland made it easy to hate his
character Corvus, while Harington and Akinnuoye-Agbaje create a bond and
brotherhood that made me hold my breath in hopes that they survived their
trials.
The special effects were awesome and there was at least one time
that I even ducked in my chair from the falling debris!
While the premise
of this movie is well known, the plot gave it a smooth, easy to watch story that
kept me engaged the whole time.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been in a
movie theatre that had cheering at the end….even with such an unexpected ending,
but this one had people clapping all around me.
Thumbs up for this
one!

I loved it!
Me and my fiancé have been tackling this one for years we started watching two years ago but stopped, he isn't a t.v kinda guys and every movie is a struggle for him not to fall asleep! But we have finally got back round to it and got two episodes left!! I love superpowers and all that, just a little something to get lost in, A fantasy world where people can fly and heal and do all kinds of crazy things. This series is that and a whole lot more with evil villains the main one being sylar who is in it throughout, he's story becomes very repetitive but it is still good to watch, plenty of action given from the government with twists and turns around every corner, it's yet again a fight to survive. Brilliant series! If you have not yet seen it, it's definitely one to invest in.
