Andy K (10821 KP) rated The Witch (2015) in Movies

Interesting but not scary
A Puritan family lives by themselves off the land to farm, raise their children and suffer through their lives barely scraping by. The perception of evil forces slowly overruns the family and they start to point fingers at each other as for who is to blame.
Short review today, but I had not heard much about this until a friend recommended. I enjoyed more than I thought I would for a film with a slow start. It seems I like slow burn movies ore than most. I can stay with a film if it seems interesting or I feel like it is going somewhere and will have a decent climax.
I did not think the film was scary at all with not even any jump scares, but the characters were interesting and the family dynamics were extreme especially once there is doubt and paranoia about what is happening to them.
Since I am an American, I did find some of the dialect hard to comprehend at times so much so that I actually turned the Netflix subtitles on to make sure I didn't miss anything.
It's not like it's a fantastic film that will stay with me or anything; however, I feel it is unique and interesting and well worth 95 minutes of your life.

Couldn't put it down. I read this in a day. The only real complaint I have is that the world building was not very good! It had a good plot and characters. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

It took me nearly a year to finish the audiobook. Kamau is long-winded, pensive and thoughtful. What he is not, is always funny or engaging. Glad I finished it because I feel the world does need his point of view. I remain a semi fan.

Robot Rocky
A decent film I liked more than I thought I would. Great production including Stan Winston's former studio doing life size bots, Steven Speilberg as Executive producer, cool cast and neat SFX. Kinda Rocky for Robots but has a nice feel good vibe to it.

Overall this was a good book. I liked the plot and most of the characters. I felt like the book just ended and it could have had a few more chapters. It went from crazy to end. I really wanted to know what happened with the apartment.
Lumos (380 KP) rated Sentinels of the Multiverse in Tabletop Games
Mar 14, 2018
I really enjoy this game. I like that each game is different and that it is a cooperative game. My friends and I have talked about home-brewing a version of the game where you shuffle two heroes together "SmashUp style" and fight against each other.

My favourite podcast
MFM is hilarious, I love listening to it as much as I can. I am a massive fan of true crime and this podcast has it all. It doesn't take itself too seriously but covers sensitive subjects with respect (and a few giggles)
Meg Dean (138 KP) rated Camille Glenn's Old-Fashioned Christmas Cookbook in Books
Jun 20, 2018
Maybe it's just because I couldn't get out of the south fast enough, but this book is way to focued on the southern cuisine for my taste. I wish it had branched out a bit. She is however a southerner so I guess it's to be expected.
