David McK (3562 KP) rated Extraction 2 (2023) in Movies
Apr 28, 2024
This one has an even longer one.
Truth be told, I'd forgotten that - at the end of the previous movie - Chris Hemsworth's Tyler Rake had fallen into the Ganges after been stabbed and shot a lot.
This picks up from that, with Rake pulled out of the water in the very first scene and spending the entirety of the first act in recovery.
It's really from Act 2 in that the action kicks off (with, seemingly, his injuries all but forgotten) as he agrees to extract a family from a prison - cue near enough 1.5 hours of virtually non stop action.
Worth a watch? Yes.
Will it win any awards? Doubt it.

Rachel King (13 KP) rated Danny The Dragon "Meets Jimmy" in Books
Feb 11, 2019
The boy's name is Jimmy, and his sister's name is Sally, and both children and the dragon are polite and well-mannered throughout the story, using "Please" and "Thankyou" and helping Mom and Dad clean up both the beach supplies at the beginning of the story and the dishes after supper. The smaller green creature from the cover pops out of the green and white seashell with Danny the Dragon, and we are informed his name is Skipper and that he is Danny's navigator, but not what kind of creature he is. Danny explains that water will make him shrink back to fit inside the shell, and a lack of water causes him to come out of the shell as he grows big, which brings to mind the small toys that expand when placed in water (only opposite). All of the characters in the story are articulate and kind to each other, and there is nothing about the story that would be considered scary or bad, which is quite appropriate for the 4 to 8 year-old age group that the book is intended for. The story even promotes healthy eating, as the family has homemade vegetable soup for supper. The book is quite obviously set up for at least one sequel, as at the ending when Jimmy asks Danny where he came from and where has he been, Danny politely answers, "I will tell you some other time. For now it is bedtime. Goodnight - pleasant dreams."
