Plenty of action
Great to have a Marvel film back
Great to have Marvel back on the big screen. While not quite an origin story, we do get to see the Black Widows early years as a child at the start. Most of the film is set around the Civil war film in the time line. While on the run her past catches up with her.
The cast is very good and David Harbour is good as the Red Guardian. Russia's answer to Captain America. He generally has most of the funny moments in the film as well.
The action scenes are great and Sfx look great. Nice to have a blockbuster film to enjoy in the cinema again.
The credits are about 6 minutes long and there is a scene after them.

Won prize
was very pleased to be a selected winner of this cd was a band I did not know so was interested to give it ago the cd cover its self was a bit Dull could have been more captivating. When I started to go through the cd at the start of each of the 5 songs on the cd the beat and band instrumentals were very good and nice to listen to. How ever I found the mixture of the music and the lyrics/vocals together to be very hard to listen to. However this is not my usual kind of music so scored at 7 mainly due to being a freebie and the music. But if it was on lyrics and vocals would definitely be more like 3 or 4.

Overall interesting Thriller
Finally watched this after hearing about it quite a bit. An enjoyable thriller about a stalker who kinda inserts himself into the lives of women he takes an interest in.
Done with a similar narration style as @Dexter - Season 1 to the viewer. It was fun in some episodes, with a fair amount of humour to it. You shouldn't like the main character but you view things from his perspective, and he comes across as the nice guy. The ending was a bit of a disappointment for me and felt rushed compared to the rest of the series. Not exactly gripping, I got through about 30 episodes of Dexter by the time I did all 10 of this. Entertaining if not a classic.

Colleen always gives me ALL the feels! I felt so connected to Beyah, it was eerie. I love how Colleen makes her characters so relatable. Beyah and Samson didn't feel like teenagers (I'm aware Beyah was 19, but the amount of stories I've read about people that age who act like they're 15 is ridiculous) and it was nice to read about mature people and adult situations. Granted, their maturity is due to the tragedies they've faced and hardships they've endured, but it was still a relief for me. I felt every single emotion in this book, so deep, I felt like my own heart bone broke right along with Beyah's. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it so long as it's true: Colleen never disappoints!

Thank you! I'm so glad Courtney decided to write a novella from Olivia's point of view. Perhaps I'm the only one who hadn't figured it out, but for the life of me, I couldn't understand the connection between Dare and the Savage family. I mean, I knew Richard was his stepfather, but I didn't know how they all came to be together. It was nice to finally get that all straightened out, even if I do feel just as confused and crazy as I do when reading Nocte and Verum. One thing I am happy about: It's good to know that Olivia kind of went crazy on her own and not that Dare drove her crazy because he killed Richard when she was in the bed next to him.

I liked this. It was nice to take a break from all the YA I've been reading lately and go for something a bit more adult.

From the start it was sexy and fun. Josh came across as being fun and quite down to Earth after the first meeting. Caitlin was quite cool too, she tried to do what was right.

One thing I wasn't so fond of was the sex. It was erotica and that isn't my favourite genre. I preferred the bits between the sex scenes as most of the relationship occurred before the sex took place.

I also feel like the book should have had an epilogue as it seemed rather abrupt how it ended.

If all the authors works are like this then I wouldn't mind reading more of her work.

This manga is really growing on me! I liked how the five of them went from hardly knowing each other to being quite good friends simply from going on a "bonding" trip through a school program. It was nice reading them become friends and how getting lost in the woods made them closer. *chuckles* Oh and the bonding over a sunrise was sweet.

I'm still holding out for our main guy and gal getting together, they've certainly grown closer. Though that last page had me almost swearing. I wish I had time to start #3 but I have to go to work in the half hour so it will have to wait till later or tomorrow.

I love the art and the slow arcing storyline. Bring on book #3.

Russian madness
I have to admit I’m a little disappointed in this series of Peaky Blinders. Whilst it’s as violent as ever, the storyline appears to have gone a little off the rails. The whole plot regarding the Russians is just completely bonkers and rather confusing, and by the end of the series the Russians had become a massive irritation and I couldn’t wait to see the back of them. Don’t get me wrong, the rest of the series was still rather good. A cracking soundtrack as always and some great performances, along with a pretty shocking ending. A great cameo from Paddy Considine and it was nice to see Tom Hardy back again, it’s just a shame the ridiculous Russian storyline had to get in the way.
