Jimmy Hayward recommended The Iron Giant (1999) in Movies (curated)

1999 | Animation, Family, Sci-Fi

"Brad Bird is a triple badass. That’s all there is to it. I would have said Incredibles but I watched Giant more. It was so ground breaking with the mixed media. Great story, great characters, good heart, super smooth filmmaking AND Christopher McDonald is in it and I love him. Too bad they marketed a bunch of other movies that year. Good thing there’s life after death on DVD."

I don't know how to feel about this! I enjoyed it a lot but I did speed through a lot of it in order to get it finished so I'm not entirely sure if I fully got the whole story. I enjoyed the narration but I'd love to set aside time and actually read this again because I think I'd probably get more from it a second time through

4.5 stars.

This is not my usual read at all. I tend to like nice, gentle love stories and this is rather dark, but I was captivated and intrigued beyond belief by Richard.

It kept me guessing where it was going: Why did he want Cassidy? Did he kill his wife? Where were his children?

I certainly wasn't disappointed when I found out the answers. A brilliant story.

Hmm

I feel a little let down by this but for me, this author is hit and miss. Some I love, some I don't. This is definitely of the latter. The style was a little strange for me in the first part, like it was told in short before expanding into a fuller story after the first call out of the FBI.

Oh, well, on to another book I go.

"The romance in this novel is so distinct, so interesting, and so surprising because it's so flawed. The couple — Dick and Nicole Diver — are gorgeous. You believe they're perfect, and then you find out that, in fact, they are deeply troubled — she especially. Dick rescues Nicole for a time, but he can't save her; she's too unstable. So they don't make it — they can't. It's an exquisite and unbearable love story."

"I just rewatched it a little while ago. With Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. I thought that was incredible. A love story with, again, layers of intricacy and just figuring out all these little details. It was also the first time I saw Jim Carrey when he wasn’t being funny or doing a comedy, and that really pulled me in. I was like, “Wait what’s this?” I was captivated."

Bless him, Calistos has some serious issues. Between hiding who he really is from everyone (including his brothers), memory issues, and keeping everyone at a firm distance because he doesn't believe he deserves love, well, this is one helluva story!

TOUR, REVIEW & #GIVEAWAY - Calistos (Guardians of Hades #5) by Felicity Heaton - #Paranormal, #Romance, 4 out of 5 (very good)
