I didn't know if this movie was going to be completely terrible, or completely hilarious. It was mostly hilarious. For starters, the cast was stacked. I love Charlize Theron in everything, and her character was a boss, and my favorite scene in the movie is when she's giving herself a pep talk in the car. David Oyelowo was so funny as Harold and he was so charming. Joel Edgerton was the perfect d-bag. I completely forgot Sharlto Copley was in this movie until he showed up, and his character was one of my favorites.

I am not normally a fan of books without a “proper” ending, however this book finishes in the perfect place.
It follows Mia after a terrible car accident when she then has to decide is she wants to stay. The book is written very well between what is happening now and previous events from Mia’s life.
This book will make you think about life and death and how you would cope with certain situations.
Very exciting, it would appear there is a sequel set a few years later.

Oh, Sandra Brown, you never disappoint!
There's a reason Sandra Brown is one of my favorite authors, and Tailspin just cements her more solidly on that list. Another fast-paced ride into suspense (and romance!). Great story - well-researched and believable. I found the aviation aspect very interesting. Terrific characters that will elicit a wide range of emotions from the reader, from "OMG I hate her, she's a terrible person" to "Aww, I really hope things work out for him." I enjoyed this one from beginning to end.

Critically underrated
I’m always a bit cringe telling people this is my favourite film, but it honestly is. The direction is SUPERB. The pacing is perfect. When my son finally got old enough to watch it, I could tell he thought it was going to be terrible. He finally agreed to watch 5 minutes, with the caveat that he could leave after that if he was bored.
The first 5 minutes have it all! He was hooked.

Like Every Other Horror
I was hoping for more but sadly found this to be like any other horror film made even worse by the terrible makeup job they gave La Llorona. I will thank them for the lacking jump scares that I often find cheapen so many horror films. However, this is simply because the plot is so simplified that I find myself almost wishing for more jump scares, hoping for a part of this film that could actually scare me.

Two Dimensional Characters (1 more)
Mediocre Script
Wasn't Bad, Wasn't Good
The story itself was very good, a very cute tale about a woman getting her son back from kidnappers, all taking placein the forest with wolves on the prowl. Although the story was decent the execution was terrible.
With a mediocre script and characters that brought nothing more than face value acting ruined this film.
I'll admit the scenes were executed with beautifully made scenery and anglings but thua was lost to the two dimensional execution of the actual storyline.

The Grudge's Ring II
The Grudge 2- is a decent sequel, if you like the first one, than you will like this one. This one is scary, horrorfying and spooky. Not to mention creepy.
The Plot: A young woman (Amber Tamblyn) encounters a terrible curse while searching for her missing sister (Sarah Michelle Gellar) in Tokyo. The evil imprecation fills its victims with murderous rage, but it also brings together the diverse group to unlock its secret and save their lives.
Overall it is a good movie and a decent sequel.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Aggretsuko- Season 1 in TV
Jan 21, 2019 (Updated Jan 21, 2019)
I wish this show had been around when I totally worked a terrible office job, but alas, it wasn't. Retsuko vents her anger by singing metal karaoke, and raging. I totally felt her rage, and wish I would have had an outlet like that. I can't wait until there are more episodes this year.
My only complaint, which is towards Netflix, is that the dub and the subtitles did not match at times, and sometimes, the characters were having different conversations. Dude, Netflix, just match the dub and subs.

Brittany N. Staley (35 KP) rated Alita: Battle Angel (2019) in Movies
Jan 12, 2020
Overall the movie was good. The CGI was great and the fight scenes were excellent. The gore was a little much if it would have been humans it would have been an unrated movie so that was a little much. But the characters were likeable. The ending tho was terrible. The movie probably wasnt great enough to get a sequel nor does it need it. It just need a good ending and it would have gotten better ratings.
