Dean (6925 KP) rated Léon: The Professional (1994) in Movies
Feb 5, 2018
Classic Action Film
I have finally got round to seeing this and watched the extended version. This is a great film about the relationship between a Hitman and a 12 year old girl left orphaned after her family is killed. It is violent without being too graphic or brutal. This is nothing like your typical action, assassin film and has some great scenes between the two lead characters. A little strange but a classic and I'm not surprised it has reached a cult status.

Hmmm really didn't get the hype about this film. It's just plain odd and weird without being that entertaining. A very over protective father keeps his 3 teenage children within the compound of the family home, knowing nothing of the outside world. They have become brainwashed by their parents into an odd existence. A few odd scenes and taboo sex scenes as well make it strange viewing at times. It gets a bit interesting towards the end, but it's a long slow watch to get there.

I created a video explaining my slow decent into hating this series, book by book, for your viewing pleasure:
I kinda liked how this one ended. A horribly nice death for a character who was kinda silly and pointless anyway. Their whole arc felt jarring, at even at the end, when we know their single character trait they've been given, it felt really strange for the character to act the way they did.
Huuuuuuuh... 4 more books...

Ok, this was a strange one. I would list it as a "dramatic comedy" (is that a thing?). With some semi-fun characters and some (kinda predictable) twists it was interesting enough to get through the whole thing. The cinematography was good and the acting was, well, ok. Not the greatest comedy out there but I honestly think Jason Bateman movies are hit or miss. Overall, I'd say this was fun enough to make it worth a watch on "movie" night.
I hate books that have the plot move forward by way of the main character remembering more and more about things.
I also hate books that do this while also making you feel like you can't trust their memories at the same time.
I don't enjoy books that are predictable knock-offs. Basically, watch a Jason Bourne movie if you want to know what this book is about.
And what is going on with the weird kids who have strange powers? Not explained, not cool.

3 girls are off to prom and decide to make a pact that by the end of the night they will all lose their virginity. However, they accidentally leave their chat open on their computer and after decoding their emoji conversation, the parents realise what they are upto and decide to try and stop them. This is what the entire movie is about, it sounds dull but it was actually very funny even though it wasn't very crude and a little strange in places.

A very easy read if you have ran out of books and need one! The writing didn’t hook me compared to some of my other books which is why it isn’t on my favourite shelf however it was still an interesting story with a great plot - you may find the story slightly strange at first but I think that it is very imaginative and different, you definitely wouldn’t have read a book with the same story line. So give it a go! It will be worth it.
AT (1676 KP) rated To Your Eternity, Vol. 1 in Books
Apr 25, 2020
To Your Eternity is a strange, but interesting story, coupled with beautiful manga artwork. The premise is that an alien orb is thrown to Earth to find its way in some for of life here. It can not speak, but it can morph into any form. As it goes on its life journey, it evolves as it meets different living creatures. Without major spoilers, I will leave it at that. It's a unique story, but not one for young readers because of some violent illustrations.
