Woody Harrelson's Bad Guy
Emotional end to the Trilogy
A magnificent film, a thinking mans action film.
Harrelson and Serkis performances are amazing, it continues to be a shame that Serkis doesn't get any Oscar nods for his work here.
The plot moves along at what feels like a breezy pace, a step up from the previous films which felt a little plodding.

Mothergamer (1536 KP) rated Assassin's Apprentice in Books
Sep 5, 2017
Excellent Fantasy Series
I love Robin Hobb's books because they are all amazing. The Assassin's Apprentice is the first book in The Farseer trilogy and it's an excellent series. This is the book that starts it all and it is interesting with complex characters and wonderful storytelling. It's an excellent fantasy series and she has later books that involve more adventures with Fitz and the Fool that are equally brilliant.
Erika (17788 KP) rated Acceptance (Southern Reach #3) in Books
Mar 1, 2019
The conclusion to the Southern Reach trilogy was completely anticlimactic. Not much actually happened in this novel. I think this is the first out of the three that actually uses the word 'alien' but not as a noun.
The novel bounces around between 4 characters, the lighthouse keeper, the psychologist, Control, and Ghostbird. Honestly, there was nothing new, and I was glad that it was a short book.

A Star Wars movie made be the numbers
If you use solo as a drinking game, you would be unconscious or even dead before the end of the movie.
Hal Solo gets.....
His Jacket takes a drink.
The Millennium Falcon take a drink.
And so on
So basically it's full of plot points we already know for the original trilogy and making feel like movie just made by the number.

Oh man i fall more and more in love with this author. I love her stories and this one was amazing. I loved seeing how miranda gets through everything she went through and still loves someone else. I loved seeing nick again but feel so bad for him. i have realized that I wish I had read these before the evil trilogy though. But, no biggies. amazing series

Story
A step in the right direction
Honestly, DC did well with this movie. Easily their best movie since the Dark Knight trilogy. You get to see Diana learning about humanity and finding that everything isnt as cut and dry as she learned back home. The supporting cast does a great job to help teach her and bring a bit of comedy to their dire mission.
Alicia S (193 KP) rated Monsters in the Dark (Monsters in the Dark, #1-3) in Books
Sep 28, 2018
Incredible.. I've only read one book before I would have considered "dark erotica" but after just finishing Pepper Winters Monsters in the Dark trilogy, my god I want more!? The story of Tess and Q completely messed with my head... the abuse, fear, power... eventually transforming into such love, a bond so tight, not even death could separate them. Beautifully written, I loved the connection & the feeling of true belonging.

History (alchemy) (1 more)
Vampires, witches and demons
This was a book that had me hooked from the first page, I loved the adventure and mystery that unveiled itself. It also gave me in insight into alchemy, something that had not particularly interested me until reading this book... and it definitely helped I’m the lead up to Shadow of Night (the second and my favourite of the All Souls Trilogy).
Erika (17788 KP) rated My Plain Jane: The Lady Janies Book 2 in Books
Oct 28, 2018
This was an entertaining riff on Jane Eyre. As with the first book in the 'Lady Janies' trilogy, there are three main characters that cycle through the chapters. I liked that Charlotte Bronte herself was one of the narrators. It followed fairly closely to the original in the beginning, with a few deviations, as would be expected. It was largely predictable, but I didn't mind because I was entertained.
Hutch (9 KP) rated Batman (1989) in Movies
Jun 17, 2019 (Updated Jun 17, 2019)
Original and still the best
As good as Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy was, this is still my favourite and Keaton is still the best Dark Knight. Dark and broody and with eyebrows made for the role, Keaton delivers as both Batman and Bruce Wayne while Jack Nicholson hits the perfect balance of menace and camp with his Joker. Ps -Great soundtrack too
PPS - the Batmobile has never looked so cool
