Worth it for the car chase scene alone!
Tarantino's half of Grindhouse (other half Planet Terror , also very good) seems to have been forgotten, but deserves another look.

Kurt Russell carries the weight of the film and has a lot of funny dialogue.

The car chase scene as well as some of the barroom bits are worth watching. I actually really liked this movie.

This is the sixth book in the series and the storylines and mysteries continue to develop.

We are starting to see more of a global view of the Talented. As well as discovering more about the creation drug and it’s effects.

I am still a bit lost as to how this series is going to go which is good, there seems to be a lot of characters and possibilities at play.

Acting was top notch; especially Sissy Spacek who needs to win an Emmy for this role
The Gordy side story. So darkly funny!
Why doesn’t everyone just move away?!
Lots of plot holes and WTF is going on moments. I was riveted through the whole thing, but it feels a lot like they were trying to do too much and the show really suffered for it.

lack of progressive romance, grammatical errors, repeat dialogue (0 more)
Good read but, as I've said of the previous four books, there is a lot of repeat dialogue/actions as well as grammatical errors. The story was really action packed despite that but I'm a little put off by the lack of follow through in the romance department. Hoping it picks up in the next book.

I love the mix of styles and eras. The variety is amazing from Gregorian Chants to today's top hits. (0 more)
It used to have an app on Samsung tv where I could play my playlists over the TV. Not anymore. :( A lot of people say 10 bucks a month is very high. But there is so much entertainment in this app, I consider it worth it. (0 more)
My favorite music/podcast app!!
  
Cinda Williams Chima is the best author I have found in a long time. The problem with many fantasy novels is that they often tend to drag a lot towards the middle, especially during the fight scenes. This is not the case with this author, who offers exciting twists around every corner and a plethora of hilarious metaphors. This book is a must read for any fantasy lover.

An average run of the mill rom-com/drama has some funny bits and gets more serious to the end. Starting to like Jennifer Aniston a lot more in films. She was great in friends but has done far too many rom-coms now that they just kinda all blur into one. An ok watch if you're in the mood. Although some strange plot decisions don't add up?!
  
A great read! Kim really has been through so much in her life; I have a lot of respect for her. It's amazing seeing her being such an upfront, hard character on TV but to then read about what her life has actually been like.
The language used made the book straightforward and easy to read but as expected it was a difficult and emotional subject to read about.

Not a great deal of action (0 more)
In some ways I preferred this to the first film. The story was more interesting and revealed a fair bit more info on certain characters from the Potter films. It's definitely darker in tone with a lot less humour than the first film. If you have knowledge of the other Harry Potter films you're more likely to enjoy it.

That's my secret, I'm always angry.
Thoroughly enjoyed this film, I know there was a lot of scepticism about Mark ruffalo as the Hulk, but the part was made for him. He plays it so well, Bruce's vulnerability to the Hulks unpredictability. All tha actoring and direction is awesome all round great film.
