Kevin Phillipson (10072 KP) rated Once Upon a Time in America (1984) in Movies
Aug 14, 2022 (Updated Aug 14, 2022)
Before the review recently I've been rating alot films on Disney plus that wouldn't normally be seen on disney but because they have an adult section called star there's alot of adult movies and TV shows on there case in point once upon a time in America.
The film I've never seen the film till this weekend one thing I can say its long movie with brilliant performances from both woods and de Nero very violent in places which is what u expect from a gangster movie then there's the score by ennio morricone one of the best I've heard there's nothing at all wrong with the film expect the runtime. Anyway coming later in the week both heat and King of comedy still to come

Not bad, but confused
I'd heard a lot of good things about this and never got round to seeing it at the cinema so was glad to see it had finally made it onto Prime. However whilst it wasnt bad, it was a little disappointing.
My main problem with this film is that it seemed to be very confused about it's audience. Is it a scary kids film like Goosebumps? Or is it a more adult horror? And sadly it never really answers these questions and seems to swing between the childish to adult. As the main characters are children, this leans a lot towards a younger audience especially with their conversation and humour and the basis for the entire story does feel a little younger. However some of the actual scares and horror aspects feel a lot more adult. Some of the monsters are actually rather creepy and there is a bit of violence, which I'm guessing is why this has been given a 15 rating.
I enjoyed the actual stories themselves, especially the monsters as they were very well done and the CGI was quite impressive. The cast were okay and overall the film held my attention and was enjoyable to a point, I just found the mixed audience level rather frustrating.

Seemed a little childish for an adult audience, but maybe that is what they were going for. I liked the acting and story. It just seemed a little too simple and a little too long. When the bad guy is defeated with 25 minutes left, you are doing something wrong.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2357 KP) rated How the Grinch Stole Christmas! in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The classic picture book that finds the true meaning of Christmas as the Grinch tries to stop Christmas from coming for the Whos. Told in classic Seuss rhyme, it's a book I loved as a kid and still enjoy as an adult.

Great Rom-Com
One of the better more recent Rom-coms and one which most guys will probably find funny as well, in this battle of the sexes. It is predictable, but aren't they all?! It has some quite adult humour and has some very funny scenes and witty dialogue. Check it out even if you normally avoid the Rom-com genre!

Starts to get darker/more adult themes (1 more)
The characterisation is good
This book is like the start of the end in a way - the ending is quite intense and gets the ball rolling for the main storyline in the final books. Definitely one of my favourites from the series. You can see the characters' personalities begin to develop properly as they grow up.

Lot of Laughs
I played this game with my family on Christmas Day and while some people didn't get what the pictures meant, it was still funny to have the captions that match them. If you add in the adult pack of cards then it's even funnier, luckily we were playing with people who were all over 18.
