David McK (3562 KP) rated Devotion (2022) in Movies
Feb 12, 2023 (Updated Feb 12, 2023)
I saw this on Amazon Prime (I don't think it got a theatrical release), and heard good things about it, with a few of the reviewers saying it was even better than Top Gun: Maverick.
Unfortunately, I think they watched a different film than me.
This is set during the Korean War, and tells the story of the friendship between Naval aviators Tom Hudner and Jesse Brown; the latter one of the first non-white aviators in the air force at the time.
Personally, I found the film to be quite long and drawn-out, with even the vaunted flight scenes looking just not-quite right!

Merissa (12934 KP) rated Dirty Secret (Cole McGinnis #2) in Books
May 30, 2023
Cole McGinnis must be the only private investigator out there who will deal with the Koreans! No, seriously, I know that he has been approached because of his previous dealings!
The second in the series deals with more mystery and mayhem, with people getting shot at (and in some cases) and killed. Once again full of action, it did become harder to keep all the Korean names straight in my head, over who was who! Still, a very good addition to the series.
* I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review. *

David McK (3562 KP) rated Yes Man (2008) in Movies
Jul 25, 2020 (Updated Feb 1, 2025)
Jim Carrey comedy vehicle, in a return to his more physical comedy of his earlier years, as a man who - after attending a self-help (Cult?) seminar - must say "yes" to every opportunity that comes his way.
Queue a fortuitous meet up with Zooey Deschenal, learning Korean, to play the guitar and how to fly (all of which later come to his aid), in a romcom that pretty much does exactly what you'd expect it to do.
I think, personally speaking, that the main problem with this is that you could forget it pretty quickly: indeed, I'd forgotten I'd ever seen it before until I got about halfway through!
