RachelReads (74 KP) rated 13 Reasons Why - Season 1 in TV
May 24, 2017
Really disliked it.
As a person who has friends that struggle with suicide, this was very hard to watch. Especially the scene when she actually commits suicide. Sure, it raises awareness of how your actions affect others. But I think it the suicide scene was unnecessary and does the opposite of raising awareness of teen suicide. If anything, it glorifies it, showing young and impressionable viewers how it can be done. Not to mention it was predictable and just over the top.

Amazing range of Sfx
A mindbending strange film
Another super hero Marvel film that will dazzle your eyes, if not your mind. All the magic, space, time and other dimensions makes it feel less connected to the rest of the Marvel universe. It's totally over the top, but the range of Sfx shots it leads to are amazing. A bit like inception on steroids. Interesting visually but the story will probably wash over you.

Top notch animation
Another hit in the LEGO franchise
This is probably one of the best parody movies in recent memory. It is hilarious from start to finish and the voiceover cast is brilliant. I enjoyed the Lego movie more than I thought I would the first time I saw it and I enjoyed this even more. Do yourself a favour, no matter what age you are, give this a watch and I promise you will not regret it.

Apr 10, 2018
In the 100th year of women gaining the vote in the UK, this book is ideal for introducing young people to one of the leading names in that struggle. As a book in a school library or classroom, available for project work or a book borrowed from a library by an active parent, this book gives the background without being too over the top with the politics, allowing curious minds to question and discussions about equality and rights to follow.

Not a Great Watch
Contains spoilers, click to show
I watched this with a open mind and no idea of what i was letting myself in for. Its a pakistani horror film that mixes Pet Sematary and The Omen, though to no good effect. Its too laid down with pointless scenes and monologues. I gave it a 3 rating as the idea was good and Pari (the girl of the title seemed to relish her part
AT (1676 KP) rated Hinamatsuri Vol. 1 in Books
Mar 12, 2019 (Updated Mar 12, 2019)
I don't know about this one. I'm not sure if it has an anime series, or if it's just a manga, but this first volume leaves a lot to be desired. (I just looked, and I guess there is an anime series. I hope it's better!) It's fine in some parts, and in others, the story seems to just appear out of nowhere. It may have potential, but volume 2 won't be moved to the top of my reading pile.

Surprisingly good
I wasn't planning on watching this movie but my wife heard good things about it so we checked it out. It had a good cast and was rather uplifting. I'm usually not into movies with an over the top message but it was engaging and very poignant. I left watching the movie and felt myself rooting for the main character. I would definitely recommend seeing the movie.

what a good read, this is the second book I've read from this author and they just keep getting better. I loved the story line and the characters. the characters chemistry worked really well throughout the book. the book was well written, I was hooked by the first page and couldn't put it down. can't wait to start another one of jasmine lee's books, defiantly one of my new top favourite authors.

Jason Momoa
Best Superhero Film to Date
I have to say that before I watched Aquaman, my favorite superhero was Superman. The classic Christopher Reeve persona of Superman to be precise. But when I took my dad to see Aquaman for his birthday, that all changed. It's a fun loving film, great for any fans of action, superheroes and Jason Momoa. The special effects were spectacular. This movie has snuck up to be in my top 20 movies of all time.

Unorthodox Problem Solving
Weird use of teeth
Representation and a caste system that is broken. Crows are at the bottom but without them the world would die of disease.
Characters are represented subtlety and you almost miss it. It is woven so seamlessly into the plot.
The Princess Bride meets Six of Crows and together they burn the world down.
If you enjoy the As You Wish of Princess Bride than this needs to be on the top of your list.
