Britt LaShea (5 KP) rated Wonder Woman (2017) in Movies
Jan 8, 2018
Awesome Movie
This movie I had high hopes for and it did not disappoint. The acting was superb, nobody overacted or tried to steal the show. Gal Gadot was a perfect casting choice for Wonder Woman.
There was action, comedy and a little bit of romance. It balanced out quite well in this movie. I have watched it three times and each time I come out with something new from it. I hope the other movies in the franchise are just as good.

It goes where alot of shows wont

Must watch it
Watched the pilot, uncertain at the start but then it had me hooked. Watched the entire series over 2 days ( bet im not the only 1 lol). I understand what other reviewers have said about glorifying suicide but to be honest, looking at it just as a tv series, i was brilliant. Casting was perfect, especially hannah ( in my opinion, stunning), a must watch for everyone. I so hope they have a 2nd series

They should've stopped after the 1st one
Okay for starters, isn't this called Salazar's Revenge?
Anyway they really need to stop making these films. The first one was fantastic, but they've gradually gone worse since then and this 5th film is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. It's ridiculously over the top even for Jack Sparrow, completely unfunny and mostly nonsense. I really didn't understand what was going on with the over the top CGI either with Salazar and his pirates, it looked awful.
I really hope this is the last one...

Someone is watching on over you.
This is a Spanish psychological thriller staring Luis Tosar who does a cracking job as one of the guys you never hope to come across. I caught this particular film on the Horror channel of all places and, I was pleasantly surprised by this tense and dark film which at times had me on the edge of my seat and just a little freaked out. If this film was meant to be a bit unsettling, it did it well.

Idris Elba as Roland (1 more)
McConaughey as Walter
The movie was engrossing, at no point did I get that 'how long have I been here?' feeling.
Idris Elba was awesome, as expected. The sets, even when otherworldly, seemed very realistic and not out of place.
The story had some really great and emotional moments.
The movie was self-contained and could be stand-alone, but I hope it won't be. There was an after credits sound bite that definitely leads me to think there will be more.

Domonique (0 KP) rated Library of Souls: The Third Novel of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children in Books
May 12, 2018
This was such a good conclusion to the story of Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children. I was so hoping that Jacob and Emma would get a chance to be together without the hollows and the threat of the whites and just to be normal kids, so to speak, and I'm glad that's what happened in the end. I hope that Jacob's parents come around and finally realize how special their son is and I'm glad the children and Miss Peregrine found a way to live outside a loop and experience real life.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Underground (Greywalker, #3) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Underground is a solid third entry back into the grey. Harper is, as always, a protagonist I can relate to and is believable in her thoughts in actions. Although the plot was slow at times, it was still entertaining and usually kept my interest. I love Seattle as a setting, even if there are a few liberties (hey, I've never been there! :P), and will continue to pick up Ms. Richardson's books!
*slight spoilers*
I hope Will is gone for good (what a bore) and Quinton is as intriguing as he's always been.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Every Which Way But Dead (The Hollows, #3) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
The plots in the Rachel Morgan series just keep getting even more intriguing. I am (just about) fully enjoying everything in these books; the only thing I'm iffy about is the Rachel/Ivy thing. I don't know what direction Ms. Harrison is taking it, but I sincerely hope she doesn't make Rachel her scion...or more. I think it would change the whole feel of the series for me. Otherwise, her books are fun, fast paced, and fascinating. I can't wait to read the next one! :)

Having loved the film that this show is based on i was expecting something really good from this and boy did it deliver.
The casting of Kayvan Novak and Matt Berry (2 well known comedians in the Uk) was an inspired choice,the storylines were executed perfectly and every joke hit the spot..every time.I dont want to give to much away in case there is anyone who hasn't seen the series yet but i hope this brief review will persuade you into seeing it and loving it as much as I did.
