Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated P.S. I Still Love You (To All the Boys I've Loved Before, #2) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
The first one was a lot better for me. It had an engaging plotline--whether it took me 100 pages to get into it or not--whereas this...well i didn't quite see the point of the book. It didnt really have much of a plot and rehashed a lot of what happened in the previous book. The only difference really was the appearence of John and Lara's--I'm going to be a rebel and just call her that instead of the double barrel--growing? feelings for him. It was a lot like the first book with Lara being unable to decide what her feelings were for either boy and her jealousy of Genevieve getting in the way.
Kitty was the only highlight. She's wise beyond her years and fun.
I won't be reading the last book.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Burn for Me (Hidden Legacy, #1) in Books
Jan 7, 2021
First thing I have to say is the cover really put me off. I expected it to be some sort of paranormal romance, when currently I'm into my Urban Fantasy Romance's, where the romance part doesn't take up most of the story and happens as a sort of product of them being thrown together to fight whatever evil they have to face together. Well, this was more of an Urban Fantasy Romance, thank God.
The world building was very interesting and the Prime's of this world; terrifying. It was like they were missing some integral part of their psyche where they fought killing people who annoyed them was acceptable. But Mad Rogan had some redeemable qualities in the end and I grew to really like him.
I cannot wait to see what happens next with these two.

"There's a new Shepherd in town..."
I think I first saw this movie in the cinema when it came out.
In 1993.
So nearly 30 years ago now (writing this in early 2021).
Starring a pre tax evasion Wesley Snipes, Sylvester Stallone and a very young Sandra Bullock, this is a sci fi actioner set in a (supposedly) utopian future where there is no crime, and in which Snipes character of Simon Phoenix escapes from his cryo-freeze prison (in which he was placed in 1996!), leading the hopelessly outmatched police force of the time to reanimated his original captor John Spartan (Stallone) at the suggestion of the 90s-mad Sandra Bullock Lieutenant Huxley, who was also put on ice after being framed by Phoenix for the killing of 30 civilians.
Yes, it's aged.
Yes, it still well worth a watch.

I bought this book ages ago because I watched the film and enjoyed it.
Every review I've seen has said how comical the story is, and how good a book it is.
I must admit I laughed a couple of times, and I enjoyed the story, it was well written and I got through it quite quickly.
That being said however, reading it in 2021, I found certain aspects of it slightly offensive. And also thought the way that she portrayed the starkadders was quite cruel. To me the book portrayed a sense of 'us city folk are better than you country folk.' . Maybe that was the big joke, but I didn't find it very amusing.
All on all it was an alright read, definitely nothing amazing as I've always thought it was hyped up to be.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) in Movies
May 27, 2021
One thing I can respect about Tokyo Drift is its commitment to being about street racing, doubling down just before the franchise starts going ham.
The Tokyo setting is a nice change of scenery, and Justin Lin gives us a few solid race scenes in his first F&F effort but this one just didn't do it for me otherwise.
The lead character is a complete wet flannel, and all of the surrounding characters are just sort of there. It makes the corny dialogue even harder to stomach than before. Its a far cry from Paul Walker and co.
The copious amounts of high school drama on display is jarring as well.
Its not as tight as the first film, and not as silly as the second, and the end result is a rather forgettable if (sometimes) enjoyable racing film, nothing more.
