David Topping (0 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017) in Movies
Dec 28, 2017
Surprisingly Good!
Having heard all the negative reviews and managing to avoid all the spoilers, I went and seen the movie!
And I loved it!
It was the movie I hopes to see, not another retreat of Empire (though it does borrow quite a bit from all movies) the battle scenes were suitably epic and I loved the new character DJ, though we haven't seen the last of him I think.
Great film and yes even Hamill was Humbled!

Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Lethbridge-Stewart: Times Squared (#8) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Another enthralling entry into the Lethbridge-Stewart line, once the action starts it doesn't let up. Cross exhibits a nice handle on writing action scenes and at times channels Stephen King with creepy images of rats surging up from flooded New York subway lines. The plot is a little standard for what we've come to expect from the Great Intelligence, but it's still handled well. Our band of heroes all have moments of awesome, and it's an all-around solid book. Full (spoiler filled) reviews available at www.travelingthevortex.com

Great action scenes
Doesn't do the characters justice
I saw this with an open mind after hearing it got awful reviews. I'm not a huge comic fan, so don't know how accurate it is to the comics. Which seemed to be a big issue for some. Afterwards I can see why it was a disappointment. You expect awesome things with these characters, but the plot seemed weak to me. I was underwhelmed with a film that had so much potential.

Well written (1 more)
A mix of humour
Sharp, witty and thrilling
I'm a little late at getting round to watching this, having heard very good reviews about it. It's a great premise a serial killer working in the Miami police dept who targets other killers. It's very witty as well and largely has a darkly comic side to it. The story running through the series though plays out like a top selling thriller novel. It's a great mix that works very well. If you missed it check it out.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Final Destination 2 (2003) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
With a slick filming style and better characters, Final Destination 2 improved on its predecessor in almost every way.
The main disaster, a stunning motorway pile-up, is filmed to an exceptional standard with very little in the way of CGI and this makes way for more inventive deaths that have become talking points for fans of the franchise and converts alike.
Taking a more mythical approach, the violence comes thick and fast and this remains the second best edition of the series.
