Representation goes higher, further, faster!

Captain Marvel wasn't the best Marvel movie to date, but was one of the better ones. Brie Larson was fantastic as Carol Danvers. She very well portrayed a woman who was told to suppress her emotions her entire life to fit within a patriarchal society. The big twist being that she didn't have to prove anything to the men in her life to be the strong powerful woman that she is. Probably does more for representation of women than WonderWoman. The Skrull also teach us that we cannot demonize sentients before understanding them. Excelltent! 9/10

Good storyline, good twist, mediocre cgi
So, as much as I loved watching this film and found myself enthralled into the story behind it. I found the visual effects somewhat lacking. Not reaching a high enough expectation for this kind of movie.
A movie based preliminarily around virtual reality the visual effects should be muh better and it is let down by this. That being said, the twists in the story and the way the characters are brought together. Brought this was very intuitive and clever. It showed good dynamic and gave the watcher someone to root for.

LitRPG done right, with an interesting twist
LitRPG is a hard genre to break out into. That being said, Travis Bagwell has done an EXCELLENT job creating believable characters in a fascinating world. Personally, I felt that this was a great twist on the usual LitRPG--because the main character, Jason, discovers that villains aren't all what they seem.

I love a musical, and a I love a non-predictable plot twist. Thank you Emma for being such an amazing actress playing an aspiring amazing actress and thank you Mr. Gosling for just being a beautiful specimen. Neither of them have stellar voices, but what the lacked in lungs, they made up for in timing, comedy, and chemistry.

A great read for young adults!!
While this may drag in some places for adults, this is a great book for young adults. It’s very popular in our high school library. The students love following a modern day twist to the original Wizard of Oz. So popular we have a hard time keeping it on the shelf.

You are dead you go home
A very sad look into a group of kids who think imaginary war is really that fun to play. The movie shows us what influance movies,tv,hstory all play in a kids mind and how they can take that information and really twist it. Sometimes friendship means nothing when war is declared.

A fairly standard Big Finish outing offers very little NEW insight into Hex and Ace, serving up (yet another) war time historical, which seems to be Hex's lot in life. It's not that it's bad, in fact, the lack of any alien/supernatural twist is a bit refreshing. It unspools and then it's over and you think, oh, okay.

If you love a twist, or two!
I Let You Go grabs you from the start. As you follow the main character down one path, a few twists are thrown in and you are going down a completely different road. I love a book with twists you don't see coming. This keeps you guessing until the end!

Great Watch
If you're like me and enjoy a bit of adult humour, this show is for you. It has you laughing through every episode. Sometimes the plot is easy to follow, other times you get surprised with a plot twist. Dark humour, animation and a main character that's an alcoholic sociopath.
