Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
I remember seeing Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure back in the cinemas in 1989, it was a most excellent movie packed with time-travelling laughs and some brilliant music, now years after their Bogus Journey they are back to Face The Music and this time they bring their family with them.
The film does seem to start of fairly slow before it finds its footing to bring us not only what feels like how the original movies felt, but also gives us that nostalgic feel of those days of crazy films that were purely for the entertainment value to make us laugh and Bill & Ted Face the Music certainly had me laughing and laughing a lot.

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
This is the second instalment in the Ash and Blue series and I found it thrilling. There has been a lot of research gone into this book and it has a very easy flow to read. You can feel the emotions that the characters are going through and the conflict that Ryan feels with some of the decisions he has to make.
It definitely captured me from the first page and I couldn't wait to find out what was going on.
I'm not sure if there will be another one but I would certainly like to see one

I found this novella extremely interesting. There was a lot of information to take in. It's been written from the wife's point of view and you can't seem to work out 100% for guilty or innocent. My first instinct is yep, of course, he's guilty, he's bound to be but then there are little things that could say he's innocent.
I've enjoyed reading this and recommend you read it too.

Dean (6925 KP) rated Dexter: New Blood in TV
Jan 11, 2022
He's back!
I was a big fan of the original series of Dexter having only got round to watching them in the last 2 years. Definitely a show you can binge. I was a little worried this new series 8 years later was going to leave a lot of unanswered questions from the end of the last series.
Thankfully the writing and plot are just as good as ever. All the questions you'll have from the last episode are explained in this series.
Set 10 years after he disappeared Dexter has a new identity in a small town, but will his dark passenger awaken again? Will his past catch up with him? Definitely one fans will enjoy.

Carries on from the Mandalorian series 2
Only 7 episodes (1 more)
First half is pretty slow
Return of the Fett
Well this continues on from the Mandalorian series 2, there is a teaser at the end of the last episode of that. So make sure you watch the 2 series of that or a lot won't make much sense.
Good to see a back story of how he escaped the Sarlacc pit in Return of the Jedi and up to appearing in The Mandalorian. It does continue the story of The Mandalorian quite a bit rather than being totally separate.
So if you liked that then this is pretty similar of not the best plot story.

Generally speaking, if a book looks as though Germany, or somewhere in Germany, is going to have a reasonably central role, I’m going to read it. And Berlin didn’t disappoint.
Daphne has moved to Berlin, ostensibly to learn German, but as the book progresses it seems more likely that she’s trying to escape something. Trouble and strange occurrences seem to follow Daphne, and I was left wondering if it was in her imagination a lot of the time. Nothing is easy - from her German lessons, to her relationships and flat rentals.
Daphne is an unreliable narrator - and I think that’s all I need to say! Other than: it was a great read that I really enjoyed!

Character development
I loved this book, from the very start the storyline gripped me. I thought Jean was a very well written character, relatable and likeable. And following the story from her POV made it feel more real.
It's quite worrying that something like this scenario isnt impossible to imagine happening. A lot of women already struggle to get their voices heard, and there are plenty of extremists out there continuously cooking things up. It makes you wonder, as you're reading, how would you react. What would you do to be free.
Very good book, and I will definitely read more by her. #christinadalcher #vox #silencecanbedeafening #womenwillnotbesubdued #womenhavevoices #dystopianfiction #dystopiannovel #wewillnotbesilenced #powerfulbook

I think most people would agree that the MCU has been on a decline ever since Endgame.
(Despite one or two good entries since).
If so, IMO they've just hit a new low.
It probably doesn't help that you're almost required to do a lot of 'homework' (movies and TV series that introduce the key characters) prior to watching this (I have), with that knowledge all but assumed by Marvel and with no real fill-in given for those who haven't.
It's not all bad, though, Iman Vellani is infectious as Kamala Khan fan-girling out over Captain Marvel, while the mid credit tease is probably one of the best since the original from 2008s Iron Man.
