Cumberland (1142 KP) rated Dumplin' (2018) in Movies

Netflix is killing it
I absolutely loved this movie. It featured a great main character trying to find her place in the world. I have really enjoyed this trend I've noticed lately where young female characters find there confidence. It's a nice change from the classic handsome boy shows up and solves all the problems.
The supporting characters were also great, and helped add to the comedy of the movie. Each one was extremely unique, and they all truly added something to the story.
The only reason I am giving this movie a 9 and not a 10 is because, in a few places it was hard to tell what the actors were saying. Other than that it was great, and I would highly recommend.

light hearted show (1 more)
very smooth
no real dilemma (1 more)
Character change between season 1 and 2 which is exceptionally noticeable and confusing
I liked this show although it never really had a climax, it sort of is lots of small problems which are solved within each episode. It is definitely not exceptionally gripping, but more a case of you watch because you want to see the solution.
It is very family friendly. Also at no point do they address the witch thing, like no wands, no spells, no one says the word, it is like the periwicks don't even know.
Season 2 tried to go down this route slightly in episode 1/2 but even that seemed to be swept under the rug.

What can I say about this book except that it is excellent and so much better than the films, doesn't matter which film, take your pick!
I first read this as a child and loved it straight away. Dodie Smith has a way of writing a scene that you see it in your head with no problems or difficulties whatsoever.
I now read it to me 5 and 3 year olds and they love it too. There was some confusion to begin with as they had seen Disney so didn't understand why there were 3 adults to begin with, but we soon got past that.
For me, this is a timeless classic that can be passed down from generation to generation.

This was quite a light, fluffy read, but it did have it's problems - not just the occasionally Typos! For a 29 year old New Yorker, Emily could be really naive - I could understand she might not know what Black pudding was made from, but not knowing what a full English Breakfast was or the words 'snogging' and 'bloke'? Now really!
There also seemed to be some confussion over the places the tour was visiting - it sounded like Jane Austen's House in Chawton, but then there were other references to Chawton Manor house - which is something different.
Also not sure about driving from Bath to Chesshire for a day visit in the depths of Winter.
OK, but nothing much to write home about overall.

Chayu (810 KP) rated Joker (2019) in Movies

Not my Joker, but still a great one
Not my Joker, but still a great one none the less. I am a fan of a Ledger Joker and that story. This movie was more disturbing and scary than the Friday 13th, and there wasn't even any gore or much killing. Music, scenery, scary clown make-up and laughter...all of it made me feel disgusted. City (Gotham) filled with trash, people hating and willing to beat up everyone just for fun, psychological problems of our main character with no one to help him, humiliation. There is so much going on in this movie, and all of it is dark. Worth watching if you need a little darkness in your life.
Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated Dead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse, #10) in Books
Jan 14, 2020
It's all about family ...
Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing ...
I think this was the first stackhouse book where sookie doesn't absolutely drive me crazy! It wasn't too bad at all. I find myself sticking with this series because I'm so far into them now! Would I recommend the series possibly as each person is different to what they like to read.
