The villains are brilliant
Music is very atmospheric
Was skeptical, but enjoyed it!
I was initially skeptical of this film, thinking it was going to be an all black cast just for the sake of it, but I was very wrong!

The film is really enjoyable, and what colour-orientated aspects to it worked really well (the "white town" made me chuckle when I saw it).

The principal cast are all excellent, and I actually found the group of villains to be the most enjoyable to watch (the train heist is great).

Gory, entertaining and often heartfelt, I'd recommend giving it a watch. There aren't any lulls, there are a few twists, and the action is really well-paced and choreographed.

May the force be with you
So just finished this shortly after seeing the two series of The Mandalorian. Thankfully this is more in keeping with the feel of the 2nd series of The Mandalorian.
It's on a big scale, big battles and sets and most importantly key characters are back. The overall cast is very good but it's a big difference to have the actors from the films showing again. Very glad James Earl Jones is the voice of Vader again.
Set 10 years after The Revenge of the Sith it sits nicely between that and A New Hope. If you are a Star Wars fan I can't see how you cannot like this.

Well hello there...
Ok so we finally have a bridging story surrounding the mystery of what happened to Obi Wan Kenobi after the events of Episode3 Revenge of the Sith.

Set 10 years after the events of Episode3, Kenobi now living under an alias and working a regular job and avoiding the force almost entirely, is slowly pulled back in when the last of the jedi (untrained) are basically wiped out and a very young Princess leia is kidnapped... And after being asked repeatedly to rescue her and saying no, Kenobi succumbs to his old ways.

From a rescue mission to a cat and mouse chase with Darth Vader... This is one epic tie-in to the saga.
DO NOT MISS IT!

David McK (3623 KP) rated John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) in Movies

2017 | Action, Crime, Thriller
Ask anyone to name Keanu Reeves best action movies, and there's a very good chance they'll name either The Matrix series, Speed or this: John Wick.

Essentially a revenge movie (and following the events of the first movie), John Wick is forced out of retirement by a blood oath to carry out an assassination against a high profile target, with the individual doing so then putting out a hit against John - aka The Boogeyman - himself. This film, then, takes the opportunity to build the world in which John Wick inhabits, in particular the role of the chain of the Continental Hotels, in which no blood can be spilt under threat of becoming excommunicado (and thus setting up John Wick chapter 3)

Jacy’s Lesson ( Teach me book 2)
By Raven Dark
⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶

Class is in session, and Jacy is about to learn a hard lesson. After a wild night of passion together, her hot college professor Tyson Wright completely ignores her. Instead of wallowing in her sudden rejection, Jacy plots her revenge. What will she do when she discovers Tyson has a lesson for her, one she won't soon forget?

This book is exactly as it says spicy and short. Exactly like book 1 but this one lost that something and seemed a bit rough in writing. This author is usually quite up there on my list but this one just ugh.
