Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Tron: Betrayal in Books

Jan 12, 2018

A very enjoyable ride that spans the gap between Tron and Tron: Legacy, showcasing the origins of the grid, and Flynn's growing problems dedicating himself to the three worlds he finds himself in: the Grid, running Encom, and parenthood. Great art and storytelling, and while we know the inevitable conclusion it moves toward, most importantly, it FEELS like Tron.

Haecity (2 KP) rated Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers in Books

Feb 25, 2018

Entertaining and Educational

Not something I would pick up in my own or read again, but it provided a very interesting and entertaining journey.

I love the author's storytelling, it was genuine and enjoyable. She asked excellent and entertaining questions in her pursuit of learning. This book in someone else's hands wouldn't have been nearly as entertaining.

Movie Rating

I recently re-watched this film, and I had forgotten how much I really liked it. I love anything with Keanu Reeves, and this is one of my top favorites of his. The storytelling is good, the cinematography is breathtaking, the shots of surfing are beautiful.

Watching this definitely made me want to watch Hot Fuzz again.

Movie Rating Watch

A true holiday classic

The classic tale of a judge trying to decide whether Kris Kringle is really Santa Claus is an all time classic. The acting, storytelling and light-hearted seriousness makes this one of those films you can watch over and over again.

The remake is also a good film; however, always start with the original.

David McK (3557 KP) rated No Haven for the Guilty (Hawk & Fisher, #1) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Set primarily within one location (a house) over the course of one night, this book - for me,at least - is the very definition of a 2-star rating.

Basically a swords and sorcery whodunnit, this is never going to win any awards for either storytelling or originality: I found the denoument to be rather obvious, for instance.

Natari (73 KP) rated The Lion Tamer Who Lost in Books

Jul 19, 2019

There are few books in this world that stay with you long after you finish reading it. I still think about the Lion Tamer Who Lost six months later. It is beautiful storytelling, heartbreaking and sincere. I would recommend this to anyone who loves romance and how the real world is not all happily ever afters.
