The Marinated Meeple (1853 KP) rated The Gifted in TV
Feb 20, 2018
Had such a good start, but turned into a soap opera
Really great premise, and the opening episode was a good starting point. unfortunately the drama that unfolded was more about bluster and posturing and the kind of drama that happens with a lot of talk and not enough doing. The dialog is average at best. I reluctantly finished the fist season to see if it got better.

Much better than I had expected. A big budget, action packed, fun new vision of Sherlock Holmes. A good well picked cast, great visuals, quite a lot of cgi and plenty of humour. Nice to see Guy Ritchie do more than just East London Gangster films! Also features the quickest journey from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge ever, artistic licence for you!! Sequel out next year!

I feel this books target audience was 11 year olds. Since that is the age we meet Harry it makes sense to start the series that way. A lot of older readers just getting introduced may find it too juvenile. I recommend everyone who feels this way to just get through it. It is worth it and opens the door to the wizarding world. It truly is magical.

Dean (6927 KP) rated The Break-Up (2006) in Movies

A very funny Rom-com without being too soppy. A lot of funny scenes that both sexes should enjoy as a couple try to get back at each other over their break up. A film many will relate to as the plans to out do each other keep escalating all the time as neither want to leave their apartment. Similar to War of the roses, What happens in Vegas.

This isn't a full-length novel...it's a novella...that said:
It felt a bit rushed! I wish there was more back-story! I am thinking that there will be a lot more in the first, full-length book (Witchling) which I will be starting soon :c)
A good introduction & hiya to the character though...I just really want to read their full stories :c)
3/5 stars :c)

Amazing Courtroom Drama
This is the movie that introduced me to the genre that is the courtroom drama. This movie speaks to a lot of issues as well as being extremely well thought out. Tom Cruise really shines in his role in this movie and is especially good in the final act of the film. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is a movie buff.

Childhood ruined .. Ive only ever seen the one movie - so I had not a whole lot to go off of, however, this was way more macabre than I had expected and the one line in the book.. the dear ol coveted line - does not exist.. when you weep over a book for doing you wrong. Perhaps I should have read book before seeing movie? meh, I was young and impressionable

Can't complain
I enjoyed this, I don't think the story came across as it did in the book but I was thankful there was more focus on the story behind rather that the sex scenes which I think took a lot from the movies originally. Sometimes I found the acting quite awkward but I think that was part of the way the film is and how they should come across.
