trytobeoriginal (21 KP) rated The Ocean at the End of the Lane in Books
Sep 12, 2017
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

Joy, Anger, Fear, Sadness and Disgust
Well, that was a brave move by Disney Pixar.
Remember the old Beano/Dandy cartoon The Numskulls? This takes a superficially similar approach, following the emotions (who are given form) of a young girl named Riley after her family move to a new city.
Typical top-notch animation with a message at its core - in this case, that every emotion (even Sadness) has its place - from Pixar

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Dark Hunger (Manga Version of Carpathians, #14) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
Compared to her other works, this book lacked plot-line and development. I understand that it was much shorter than her other actual novels, but if they wanted to make a "good" manga, they shouldn't have either made it longer or added more manga to it. They it is honestly kind of pathetic in it's construction. On top, of that the artwork could have been better. Just like the plot-line, there was little detail.

This is my Favorite Bill Murray Movie
I know he's done a lot of great comedies, but for whatever reason this one continues to make me laugh every single time. It's smart in a way it shouldn't be, his reactions are over the top, but there is nuance to them as well. There's a scene where he's talking to a dead guy and it's pure magic. This is a desperately underrated classic.

Too hot for some but not for others
The true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots (first firemen on the front line of brush fires) and their story from 2nd tier to the front lines. The movie is a complex look into their lives and hoe they became a family.
The cast for this movie is top notch and the way they portrayed them and their families was done very well
Brolin
Bridges
Teller
Connolly

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2518 KP) rated A Talent For Murder in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Polly Pepper has gotten a job on the next great reality show as a judge. But when another judge is murdered, Polly suddenly finds herself with a whole lot of suspects. The characters and plot are delightfully over the top in an "only in Hollywood" way. Wacky but lots of fun.
