Erika (17789 KP) rated Inferno Squad (Star Wars Battlefront #2) in Books
Jun 19, 2019
Set just after the events of Rogue One, this novel is about how the Empire struck back. It features the elite Inferno Squad, put together to infiltrate one of the rebel cells. The novel is also inspired by Battlefront II.
I liked the characters in general, and the story was interesting and well-paced. There are also some Easter eggs from The Clone Wars television show. Christie Golden has always been a solid author of video-game/franchise inspired stories. I hope Disney gives her another book to write.

An OK addition to (the books I've read in) the Star Wars canon, the main focus of this one is obviously about the eponymous Doomsday device built by the Empire: the dreaded Death Star.
The vast majority of the book is actually about the construction of the same, told from the viewpoint of several different characters involved in and living on it, with the culmination of the novel the events that take place during "A New Hope".
In short, there's better 'expanded universe' Star Wars books out there.

Enjoyable
First series was not too bad but won't set the world on fire. It's a hard one to review because it just lacked that something but I don't know what that something is. Will I watch series two? Yes probably, I feel it's going to get better as the characters develop. I think on some of the scenes I should be on the edge of my seat like I was with GOT et al but I wasn't. Let's hope it grows, it has the capacity to do so.

Chuckys design
Just finished watching not as good as the original but it's okay did we really need a child's play remake probably not. the acting was okay mark hamill on voice dutys good but not as good as Brad dourif and the chuckys look so wrong it just wasn't chucky. There are some kills in the movie which I like. Let's hope they don't make a sequel and go back to the original Chucky next time

It’s all over!!
I didn’t actually realise that this was the last one in the series until I got to the last page. I had an inkling, but there was always the hope that it was just a pause: but it’s THE END!! And what an end! Everything has been wrapped up nicely, with a good dose of adventure in the lead up to the finale. I’ve really enjoyed this series and I’m rather sad to see it end, but I’m glad that it ended on a high.
Sara Cox (1845 KP) rated Gavin and Stacey: Christmas special 2019 in TV

Contains spoilers, click to show
I absolutely love Gavin and Stacey and was so excited for this Christmas special! I love that they used the same actor for Neill the baby as 10 years ago! I thought the episode was absolutely brilliant and I'm more angry at Smithy's new girlfriend for not allowing Bryn to tell us at what happened at the fishing trip, as I truly thought we were going to be told, than I am about her utter disdain for the family. I really hope that this is a lead on to another series!

Great artwork (2 more)
Twisted & dark, yet still comical storyline
Brilliantly controversial
Can be a little hard to follow at timei (1 more)
The dialogue (accents) may need to be re-read a couple of times to understand
I thought this was a much stronger story than Volume 2 and carried on with the main storyline of The Seven.
It was, as always, controversial, dark yet comical and I found I couldn't put it down. There were also some very interesting new characters introduced that I hope to learn more about in the next volume.

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated The Last Movie Star (2017) in Movies

I had been looking forward to watching The Last Movie Star ever since seeing production stills while it was being filmed near my hometown in Tennessee. I love Burt, but had no idea this movie was going to move me the way it did. My first viewing was before his passing, and after watching it again after Burt passed it hit harder than the first time around. Here's to making what I hope is just my ACT II a good one, and watching The Last Movie Star made it a little less shitty.
Andrew Koltuniuk (767 KP) rated Platoon (1986) in Movies

I think this is the first Vietnam War film I've seen. I am so conflicted after watching this film. One part of my mind wants to like it because of the gorgeous cinematography, the clear amount of time and effort that was put into it, and the heart that the actors brought. But this movie is so painful. It has so much depression in it. It's so hard to find a glimmer of hope in this film that you tend to be overwhelmed by the negativity. Overall, this was not a movie I liked.
