David McK (3600 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.

Debbiereadsbook (1487 KP) rated The Vampire's Curse (Beyond The Mist #1) in Books
Apr 13, 2022
This is the first book in the Beyond The Mist series, and as such lays down the ground work, the background into these vampires and how they came to be.
I enjoyed it, I did. It didn't blow me away, but it's left me intrigued enough to want to continue on with the series.
Not least because there are a whole host of characters we meet here who now need their stories. Korinna, especially and Roman, I think, needs a happy ever after. Andrei's brothers too.
Some smexy times, some violence, some darker themes. Vampires who shift! I liked that, it's different.
All in all, a good read, for me, but not a great one.
so, 3 stars, but I will continue with the series.
