starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Glory (Glory MC, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
This is a lot of genre's put together for me. I think it was MC and dystopian.. but also touched on the main character being bipolar.. I wasn't sure what to think a bout this one but it was good. The characters kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I loved how possessive Hastie was because he needed to be. The world that was created was very well written. I felt like I could see that world.. and how different it was. It was an interesting story and if you enjoy dystopian I would highly recommend it.

I liked this one.. a little less then mcfarlands farm but it was still sweet and cute.. the only issue i did have was that i feel like we missed some back story... like.. ok.. since he was 16 hes loved his best friends dad.. thats not unusual.. but when did things change for the dad.. how did this happen.. it wasnt "instalove" but seemed close to it because we didnt have the extra info.. overall though for a short read this was sweet.. adorable.. and i enjoyed it a lot. i cannot wait for the next one

Wow.. so this isn't my normal genre but I wanted to try it. The author sent me a signed copy of his book in exchange for my review. This book made me think.. a lot. It took me longer to read due to that. I really enjoyed it... the plot was very good and kept me hooked to find out what was next. The characters were enjoyable and I am very glad I found this author. He will be on my tbr list for any other books that he writes. :) Very glad I found this one.

Plenty of binge watching options (1 more)
TV shows seem current
Although there is quite a lot available to us in the UK, it's not as much as what I know is available in the US. Also, I dislike how I've recently learnt that not everything is accessible if you're accessing Netflix through your TV or games console. Only a small proportion of content is available, nased on your previous selections. If I'm paying for the service, I want to be able to access the whole thing, not just what Netflix think I might like!!

Awesome remake of a horror classic
There isn't really anything bad to say about this film despite a lot of critisism of the CGI effects of Pennywise the dancing clown. I, however disagree and believe that this version was far more chilling than the first version. Pennywise was back on form with his creepy and outright terrifying behaviour. The plotline rarely strayed from the original script and the cast did well to keep you engrossed in the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was quite excited when I picked up the dvd yesterday.
ArecRain (8 KP) rated Modern Wreaths to Make in a Day in Books

As someone who has never made a wreath before but really wanted to try, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! There were a lot of interesting ideas that I couldn't have thought of otherwise, unconventional items if you will such as ballons and cupcake wrappers.
Not only are these wreaths cute and creative, but simple and fun to make as well. My 8 year old niece could easily makes these, and, since they are so quick and easy, be able to complete it in one sitting. Not to mention they won't cost you an arm and leg to make!

Washington changing direction with style
Brutal, hard-hitting film in which an old hand (Washington) educates a narcotics rookie (Hawke) in the 'realities' of the job.
Tensions begin to mount when it transpires that the realities are considerably more 'real' than the rookie is prepared for, and a whole lot dirtier than he was expecting.
Whenthis film came out I think it was the fist time Washington had taken a part where he wasn't Mr Nice-Guy, which was a nice twist that he carried brilliantly
Ethan Hawke, an actor I've always thought very underused, also delivers a characteristically good performance

A very funny film if you like Family guy sense of humour. I did wonder about the whole talking teddy bear thing and if they could pull it off, but it looks great....must have put a lot of detail into the animation for Ted. The film is very funny, although very close to crossing the line at times but this is from the same people behind family guy after all so you know what to expect. All the thrown back's to things in the 80's make it even funnier if you're from that generation.

It is what it is - fantasy action
Its no award winning movie, but for entertainment sake, if you love fantasy, and you love action, this movie is it! It takes both genres and bends them into each other. As a fantasy author, I LOVED the creativity shown in this movie, in the cultural inclusion/seclusion, the political nuances, and the crash of fantasy into a modern world that mirrors our own. There is a lot to be said about the parallels that can be drawn from this fantasy movie to current states of affairs in our world today. Sit back and enjoy, folks!

An entertaining non-stop action film, but plot wise not a lot happens. A bunch of kids hold up in the mountains when Russia and Cuban forces invade America at the start of World War 3. Over the months the group fight back as much as they can making quite a reputation as the Wolverines! Starring an 80's star cast including Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze who paired up a few years later in Dirty Dancing. A good action film made at the height of the cold war, but looking dated now. It does still have some dramatic, iconic scenes though.
