Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated The Umbrella Academy, Vol. 1: The Apocalypse Suite in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I have read, (and reread) this TPB many times. Each time I find it amazing. It's full of odd humor, tragically flawed heroes, a fun subversion of the superhero genre, time travel, a smattering of steampunk, and chock full of some amazing characters. It's well written, with artwork to match. I don't know that I can describe what its about, you just have to experience it. Top marks across the board...again!

So, did this one live up to all the hype? Yes, in a way it did. Let's just say that it managed to hold its own and it was a very enjoyable read. Will it be one of my top ten of the year? No it won't be but I still really enjoyed it

Best series on TV
See my review for season 1 for a more detailed gushing (I am an unabashed superfan)... But i just want to reiterate that i truly believe this is the best show on TV, and one of my top 5 all time favorites. Season 2 doesn't quite pull off what season 1 does, but it still contains some of the absolute best individual sequences and episodes seen anywhere.

A great start to a classic trilogy
A great start to an epic story. Sir Ian McKellen is the stand out actor for me. This is a top quality film in every aspect. The only downside is it ends at a point where you feel right in the middle of a key scene.

A clever, grown-up Disney film with a great underlying moral
I was so astounded by this film that I watched it twice in a row. Beyond the cutsie animals and amazing graphic lies a much more darker message. Mixing godfather and classic 70s crime shows, this intelligent piece of Disney talks about discrimination and exploitation. Very different from the days of princesses and sweet melodies. One of my top favourite Disney films.

There is a lot to say about this book, but I don't like giving spoilers. I will say that it is in my top ten favorite books of all time.
It gives you a disturbing sense of being both a child and an adult at the same time, equally amazed and horrified by events taking place. It makes you miss a place you've never been, while being worried you might have to go one day.

Good Comedy / Action film
A great over the top action comedy. So much action is packed into such a short film, it never lets up. There is a good chemistry between the leads and some witty dialogue, lots of exotic locations and great stunt scenes. There is enough to keep everyone happy. A mix of True Lies, Bond, and a Rom-com. A fun lighthearted enjoyable film that has something for everyone.

Classic
Absolute classic. Very of its time. A spread of laughter and tears. Deborah Kerr at her best.
Everyone knows the tale of meeting at the top of the empire state building but I think people forget the full story. I certainly had and was moved all over again after revisiting this film after about 25 years!! Makes me want to watch sleepless in Seattle again!!

Let me start off by saying I am a huge fan of the author. Her time travel romance was wonderful. I went into this book knowing the romance would be top notch swoony and I was not wrong. The dual POV makes the story so much more alive.
I found myself laughing and even shedding a tear or two while reading.
This is the perfect story for anyone who loves gushy romance that has depth
