Nice Quick Reacher Fix
Another Reacher short audio for me narrated by Kerry Shale and with a run-time of around 1hr 15 mins it was an enjoyable quick fix.
Set back in 1989 while Reacher is still in the military it’s a fairly standard investigation set-up following the murder of young lieutenant colonel.
It’s what you expect from Reacher with his no-nonsense style and observing nature all in the form of a quick hit. I enjoyed this short more than the previous Reacher shorts I’ve come across; it kept things simple and to the point.

Concession
I am a big fan of the movie starring Kerri Russell, as well as, Sarah Bareilles whose songs are used in the musical, so I was excited to see this show. I was not disappointed. The songs were great and the show stayed true to the movie.
The concession offered mini pies in little mason jars that were too cute to pass up. When you walk into the theater, it smells like a bakery with pies fresh out of the oven. It was a nice touch to make the audience feel like we were in the diner.

I'm still loving this series, though I didn't quite enjoy this as much as the last. There was far too much threesome going on and not enough boy on boy detailing for me. I loved it once they finally got around to it but leading up to it I wanted to either bang their heads together or slam my own against a wall. They were driving me crazy!!!! Then leading up to the end, their interaction pretty much dropped off completely until the last few pages.
A nice addition to the series but not my favourite.

Kristina (502 KP) rated Broken (Will Trent, #4) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
Broken isn't my favorite Slaughter book, nor is it my favorite Trent book. However, I enjoyed it much more than Undone. It didn't feel quite as long or tedious. The murderer and circumstances of the events were a little hard to accept, but all-in-all, it was enjoyable. I like the fact I can focus on a few different plot lines: Will and Angie's relationship, Faith with her baby girl, and now the true history between Sara and Lena. Broken wasn't very gruesome and it felt more oriented around the characters' lives instead of their case - that was a nice change.

Creature feature from the year 2000, starring a then up-and-coming Vin Diesel as the anti-hero Riddick, one of the survivors (that includes Farscape's Claudia Black!) of a crashed spaceship on a planet that has a unique day/night cycle: no nights, except for an eclipse once every 22 years. Which is when the rather nasty nocturnal creatures come out...
Much better than the direct sequel (there's a reason the third film in the mid 2010s went back to this version of the character), with an interesting colour palette and even a nice character arc for Riddick!

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated The Old Man and the Gun (2018) in Movies
Jun 28, 2019
The Old Man & the Gun was a beautifully shot and fun movie that was a nice tip of the hat to Robert Redford's career. Robert is surrounded by an all-star cast including Sissy Spacek, Casey Affleck, Danny Glover, and Tom Waits, so what more do you need to know? Well, I can tell you that is also mostly a true story. If this is indeed Robert Redford's last movie he went out in style, and I don't think it's just because he looked sharp over the years in all of his movies, I think he actually knew what he was doing.

It had been a while (8 months) since I read books 1 and 2 in the series and had forgotten some of what went on but I remembered more and more as I read this, though not everything.
It's a nice conclusion to the series, though a pity that we had to lose more characters that we'd gotten to know over the three books. Nobody too major!
Perry and Aria and Roar and the rest of the Tides deserve a happy ending after going through what they have in the trilogy and I enjoyed reading their story.
