A very good film based on true events, as a group of young wannabe gangsters take things too far. A great performance from all of the young assembled cast. A lot better than you would expect from such young actors. Well worth checking out.

Daniel Boyd (1066 KP) shared own list

Jan 10, 2019 (Updated Jan 10, 2019)
I watched a lot of TV in 2018, here are my highlights from the year.


Also, I will be doing a 2018 Game of The Year list soon, but first I have to finish Spiderman and Detroit: Become Human, so stay tuned for that!

There was so much great TV in 2018 that I had to make this a top 20 list rather than a top 10. My favourite of the year was probably season 2 of The Handmaid Tale.

I liked a lot about this book. And I respect it 100% for how it influenced pop culture. But the dialogue was so dated (especially when the children were talking) that it really took me out of the story.

Wow. What an incredible film. This film has a lot of heart as well as a really good story. Matt Damon and Christian Bale really shine in this movie and give fantastic performances. What a cool story and what an excellent way it was made!

Cute but eh
I get it, it's sweet story with a lot of meaning which I can appreciate. However, I found it boring to read. If it wasn't so short I probably wouldn't had made the effort to finish.

The Unintentional Wish (42 KP) created a post

Dec 31, 2019  
This week has been crazy. But it's getting better. And with 30+ plus books to keep me company and nine more seasons of Grey's Anatomy, AND a whole a lot of Jesus. I will be ok I know I will that's my promise from God.
     
I found this difficult to read as the language and tone is quite complex and poetic and I was looking for an easy fun read. The characters seemed real enough but I found the storyline jumped around erratically and left me confused a lot.

I enjoyed the movie, but as with a lot of books turned into movies, I thought it could've been better. To me, the movie felt a bit rushed and some parts of the book that were omitted shouldn't have been. Over all, I liked it.

Quite enjoyable. A lot better than Suicide Squad.
This film was fun with great performances by the cast. However, for some people, it may be quite violent for them.

I really didn't enjoy this as much as Book 1. I felt like it was maybe a time filler? Not a lot happened that was really relevant to the journey and it just left me with unanswered questions, still moving on to Book 3 though.
