"I love Beaches. I love that movie! It’s so sad, but it’s really a story about best friends. I don’t know, it’s a classic, and I grew up with it. And it has really great music."

Excellent end to the infinity saga storyline with humour sad moments and brilliant action. And a lot of emotions that can only be earned from knowing the characters and seeing their journey from start of the MCU

Love this film, perfect Sunday afternoon viewing. Right of passage story with fantastic added fiction shorts that stay with you for a good while after the film has finished.

"My other guilty pleasure is Twilight. I love those books. This is so sad, but I literaly felt depressed when I finished reading them because I thought, “Oh my God, what am I going to do now?"

Another amazing insight into the true life of an NHS midwife. It makes me sad to gear how understaffed they are and this unfortunately leads to qualified midwives withdrawing from the occupation. They definitely need more awareness!

As a huge RPDR fan, I hated the way they changed up the finale, basically invalidating all of Shea's hard work. I honestly loved the top four but only felt one deserved the win. Sasha is amazing and I won't fight her wearing the crown, but I'm sad Peppermint lost the chance to win for all Transgendered Queens, I'm sad Shea lost after being the obvious winner from the first episode, and I'm sad Trinity's dark horse struggle didn't get her across the finish line in time. Overall the best part of this season wasn't shown on TV but only online in the new untucked. Hopefully this season's Farrah, Charlie, Kimora, and yes, Valentina too, will teach future contenders that being on the show isn't enough, and that they need to come prepared and ready to win.

What a great book. I was already intrigued by the plot: told from the point of view of the teenage child of a female child serial killer? I am here for this!

I wasn't disappointed; the story itself kept me riveted from page to page, and I was sad when it was over (not sad at the story, sad that there was no more to read). Was the story disturbing? Absolutely. But it was also fascinating, and the ending was really quite satisfying.

This review is a little sparse, yes, but that's because I'm being very mindful of spoilers. Trust me, you'll want to enjoy this one all on your own.

Thanks to Ali Land and the folks at Flatiron Books for the complimentary ARC, and allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book!

Huge concept done well
It deals with a surprisingly big concept for a children's movie and I think it was quite intense (I cried). Love the colours and fun feeling, overall its really great!

Acting was solid aside from the titular character (0 more)
Way too long, a lot of repetitive beats, Pete Davidson’s character is not charming or redeemable almost at all which is sad since this is based off of his life (0 more)

"An urbane American marriage seen from above — a kind of exquisite horror story of the deathly chic of people having all their bases covered and somehow missing the point all the same. Very, very beautiful. Very, very sad."
