A good action-thriller with a strong cast. It has a slow build up and is very character driven. There are some good, although short scenes, with some good supporting actors. There seem to be a lot of things in the plot that will make you think, why did/didn't he do that instead etc. So you need to suspend reality and stretch the imagination a little in places. An enjoyable enough film if not anything outstanding.

Just like the previous two in this Divine Comedy, this epic poem was very insightful.
I have enjoyed being able to look back on the other two and see all of the connections between the three books. Seeing the difference between the poet and the pilgrim versions of Dante was pretty cool too!
You definitely have to make sure to read this one a lot slower because it is much more dense than the other two, so be warned.

I was quite bored by this story. I am not the biggest fan of the religious themes that this book is full of. It felt very repetitive after a while. There were a lot of issues of confusion in the story. There were many times where I got lost whether it was actually a dream or not in the specific moments.
I don't really have much to say about it since I didn't enjoy it much.

I enjoy reading Sylvia Plath. She has a great writing style that really digs deep. It is so full of pain and sorrow, it's very masterful. I had read a lot of these poems before for other classes and back in high school, so it was cool to come back to them after so long and see them a different way.
I would recommend these to people who want to look at the world in a different perspective.

I have had to read this poem for so many of my classes, and each time I read it, I learn something new about the poem itself. This time, I noticed a lot of the color allusions and how often they are used. Honestly, the first time I read this poem, I hated it, but it has started to grow on me.
If you like TS Eliot, or super confusing poems, give this one a read!

I'm not sure what I was expecting out of this book, but it wasn't what I was thinking it was going to be. It was interesting, and I did like it, more or less. I liked it a lot more right after I read it, but thinking back now... It wasn't that great. I'll still definitely read the sequel, because I want to know what happens next, well, and I got the book for $3 at Barnes and Noble.

I love claymation/stop motion, and I'm definitely a Wallace and Gromit fan, so I was excited to see this. The animation was good, and the plot was entertaining. Though, I'm not sure exactly how this will go over with US audiences, because there were a lot of jokes that wouldn't have seemed funny if one wasn't familiar with football/Premier League. Tom Hiddleston's French accent was completely hilarious, and one of the best parts, next to Hobnob.

A good action film with a popular cast. Not bad SFX, but the story gets a bit weird at times?! It kinda has a X men feel to it with the characters having different special powers, but it isn't as good as those films. It maybe could have done with a few more actions scenes, there is a lot of dialogue and scenes waiting around deciding what to do next. Worth a watch, if nothing special overall.

Humor (1 more)
Fun story and acting
This movie is really enjoyable if you're looking for something ridiculous to watch. I suppose it's considered "so bad it's good", but I legitimately enjoyed many parts of it and there was a lot of genuine humor.
As a warning, there is some abuse of animals in this film which is difficult to watch. Unfortunately, it's from an era where humane treatment of animals wasn't really considered important.
