AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Forever Pucked (Pucked #4) in Books
Jan 18, 2020
Alex ends up spectacularly getting injured out of the NHL when he has a run in with another team, whilst Violet gets a promotion at work.
After the scare that Alex’s injuries caused, they have both reassessed what they want in life and Violet finally agrees to set a date for the wedding. But in true typical Violet style, things will have to change... much like Alex’s mums hair!
We see again all the other characters we have been introduced to in the series, and it’s so nice to be able to follow the progression of the relationships, and how they all interlink and interact with one another.
The series continues to be well written and doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the ongoing humour and individual character styles. Helena is nothing if not consistent! I look forward to finishing the series!
Liam loves a film (5 KP) rated Ozark in TV
Apr 5, 2020
Toms performance in this series is what stood out to me. I enjoyed the series and I love what they did with the ending but Toms performance really shined. I recognized him from other things but could never put my finger on it. Regardless he was incredible, in my opinion, in this series. He basically had a whole episode dedicated to his character so I imagine the director picked up on this also. If I was suggesting this show to anyone I would lead with Toms performance. Unfortunately he is dead and so we won't see him again but I enjoyed it while it lasted. 9/10 for the first series since Breaking Bad that I have been able to get lost in.

David McK (3372 KP) rated The Karate Kid, Part III (1989) in Movies
Jan 17, 2021
A couple of the episodes in said series have linked back to The Karate Kid Part 2, which I'd watched prior to starting that particular series after it was teased towards the end of series 2. I suppose I should have known, therefore, that there would have been a couple of teases/callbacks/references made to The Karate Kid Part 3 (which I'd never seen), particularly in the storyline in which Daniel LaRusso's daughter Samantha is traumatised.
I have to say, I found this to be slower and less enjoyable than either Part 1 or Part 2, with a lame romantic subplot, and with Terry Silver in particular a one-note villain, whose brutal karate technique and training drives a wedge between Daniel and Mr Miyagi.
Ross (3284 KP) rated Killing Eve - Season 2 in TV
Jul 12, 2019
The mystery and rarity of Eve and Villanelle meeting is quickly lost, and a number of massive implausible plotlines just threw me right out. After spending the first series hunting this assassin, to then drop it completely and go in such a different direction just did not work for me. I get that the overall plot by MI6 was what mattered more to them, and made the story stick together, but for Eve and others to go along with it so willingly just didn't seem believable.
Enjoyable but a let-down.
Ross (3284 KP) rated Mindhunter - Season 2 in TV
Sep 2, 2020
The profiling work was crammed into the first few episodes as the later ones focused on trying to catch the Atlanta child-killer. The portrayal of the case seemed very realistic, being long and drawn-out and having to wait for another body to turn up, but for a TV series it was a little dull. Given this is a weaving together of partly fictionalised versions of actual cases, some liberties could have been taken and more killer interviews added in, though I presume these are being saved for later series, of which I hope there are many.
