Katherine McIntyre (105 KP) rated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) in Movies
Oct 6, 2017
I know I'm in the minority here, but I felt the pacing of the front half was slow, and Drax's character had completely changed for no given reason. A lot of the unique aspects of the original that I enjoyed were over-exploited in this one, and the heavy handedness kept the humor from hitting the way it did in the first.

Gap of Time
Enjoyed the book. The book is beautiful and clever, emotionally wrought and profoundly intelligent it will pull the reader into its wise world of jealousy, paranoia, grief, revenge and forgiveness in the stunning prose; however, I would like to add that the author could have conveyed its character Leo's anger and message across without the heavy use of foul language.
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Campaign Trail (By Design #9) in Books

After reading some heavy duty emotional books I had to return to a series that always makes me smile. The relationship between JD and Candace is what we all strive for in life. The fact that they deal with all the craziness, ups and downs with love and laughter makes this series so enjoyable. Also, there is always some 'bible study' thrown in.

Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated The Late Show (Renée Ballard, #1; Harry Bosch Universe, #29) in Books
Jul 12, 2018
I loved Michael Connelly's new novel. Renee Ballard is an interesting, dynamic and multi-dimensional character who is likable and relatable. The Late Show is heavy in police jargon and procedure, much more than in Connelly's Bosch books but he does a great job of explaining without losing fluidity or storyline. I can't wait to see what comes next for Detective Ballard!
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Angels Can't Swim in Books
Sep 24, 2018
This was a very well written coming of age novel which deals with many heavy issues through the perspective of three friends. The characters were likable and also elicited sympathy. Anyone who has had that awkward phase or experinced a traumatic event can relate to at least one of these characters. The way they intertwine and grow is an inspiration.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 (2012) in Movies
Oct 11, 2019 (Updated Oct 11, 2019)
Part 1
Heavy hitting, violent, trauma, and more. This part of the film is really good. Part 2 not so much.
The Plot: Batman comes out of retirement and gets help from a teenage sidekick. He faces off against the Joker and Two-Face before a battle to the death begins against Superman.
It is also pg-13, so that is a plus.

One of my favorite movies. I could watch this every week for the rest my my life for some reason. Everyone and everything is so quick paced. Everyone is pretty lovable. Lots of heavy hitters in this movie that deliver subtle yet memorable scenes. Kinda nice that its about an aspiring writer.
