Peter G. (247 KP) rated Sleepy Hollow (1999) in Movies
Jul 3, 2019
Depp at his peak powers in this horror fable, the surroundings and gothic visuals get a special mention as they are very much Tim Burton's trademark.
Its an exposition heavy murder mystery that has great character actors and is quite comical.
Very entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable adaptation of Irving's novel.

Robin Ince & Brian Cox’s chemistry
Good balance of guests
Good balance of science and comedy
I love this podcast. It has a very good balance between the hosts and guests with Prof Brian Cox bringing the science and Robin Ince bringing the comedy (with Robin usually making fun of Brian). They (usually) have about 4 guests per episode, 3 of which are from the science field and the other one will be a comedian. This podcast, as you would expect is science heavy, however, the comedy aspect from Robin and the comedian guest lightens the typically heavy science topics. If you like science and comedy, I highly recommend this podcast!

Good movie. Recommend for believers and non-believers alike.
This movie was a pleasant surprise. Ending up watching it on a whim with my sister who loves any movie based on a true story. And, yes, while the film is very heavy-handed with the religious propaganda, it's understandable given the film's circumstances. Truly a very emotionally gripping story led by a truly outstanding performance by Chrissy Metz. Seriously, she carries the film and acts her butt off. The rest of the surprisingly all-star cast play their role well. Would definitely recommend for believers and non-believers alike.

Pretty good
I think he heavy backlash against this movie was because fans were overly excited with making theories about Snoke and Luke and Rey's parents. I liked how it subverted those expectations, and there was some awesome battles. Also love the porgs.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Bomb: The Race to Build—and Steal—the World's Most Dangerous Weapon in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[BOMB] by [Steve Sheinkin] is the story of the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. It is broken into readable chunks and although it is very information heavy it is still interesting. As a YA nonfiction novel it is ok. The topic itself lends itself to being a little dry.

I thought the poetry was very poignant and thought-provoking. It invoked a lot of emotions in me. I could tell that the writer was definitely speaking from her heart. The themes were a bit heavy at times though, so if fluffy poetry is what you're looking for, this is not for you.
