Rebecca Billcliff (2409 KP) rated Pokémon: Detective Pikachu (2019) in Movies
Nov 14, 2019 (Updated Nov 15, 2019)
Making a live action Pokemon film was going to be a challenge, but they have done a great job, from showing the world of life with Pokemon, to the more realistic looking pokemon, all in a gritty mondern film noir style setting.
It is just nerdy enough to keep fans happy, and has enough Reynolds and jokes to keep everyone else on their seats.
A great film, and lovely to see something that is not a sequel or a remake. It certainly is working hard to be the very best, like no video game film ever was.

Natalie Dormer is alright as the lead and she does fairly well, the problem is she doesn't have much to work with. The film isn't particular scary and I feel they could have done so much more to raise the fear factor instead of throwing in some obligatory and obvious jump scares. The ending was quite good and actually fairly unexpected, but parts of it were a little silly.
Otway93 (580 KP) rated When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? by Billie Eilish in Music
Oct 21, 2019
The songwriting on this album, done entirely by herself and her brother, is excellent, creating a dark, yet somehow relatable atmosphere throughout. Once I first heard the beat of "Bad Guy" I knew I wanted more, so I purchased this album and her 2017 EP "Don't Smile at Me".
The production on the album, also done by her brother is good, but the use of vocoding (not autotuning!) is used gratuitously throughout, especially on "Xanny", occasionally masking the singer's soft, excellent voice.

The storylines are always really good and each season has something different to offer.
The characters throughout are fun and you fall in love with their stories and lives.
If you love vampires and supernatural stories this is definitely worth a watch. As is the originals which is a spin off from the show.

I read the first book in the series a couple of weeks back and this one I received via Goodreads.
I enjoyed both stories, but I didn't think they were really great either in the way they were written or in the construction of the mystery plot. They were enjoyable enough books, but not quite so good that I want to hang on to them to read again.
