Dracoria Malfoy (690 KP) rated Boy Toy in Books

Not Horror, but pretty much the same effect
WHoa. That was all I could think while reading this. Whoa. This book covered scary topics that I can barely think about. It's kept me awake at night, and I could not put it down. An amazing book that everyone should read, and if not for leisurely purposes, for the educational reasons.

Fantastic fight choreography (3 more)
Doesn't take itself too seriously
Good pacing
Clever dialogue
Fantastic spy romp
Just watched this because the trailers for Kingsman 2 look amazing. If the sequel is anything like this one, it'll be a blast. The fight choreography and special effects were fantastic, the characters were fun, it had great action and fights without being too gory. Great movie.

Erika (17789 KP) rated The Rocketeer (1991) in Movies

This movie is severely underrated. It's based on a comic by the same name, which is also amazing. It's a period piece set in the 1940s and has a pulp quality to it. It's a fun adventure movie, and it still holds up after all this time. This movie definitely does not need to be remade, and I hope it's not.

It's amazing how a movie made so long ago can still enchant so thoroughly. I am still in awe every time it switches from black and white to color. It is just beautiful. The acting is great, the characters are excellent, the songs are fun, and I own a pair of ruby slippers at the age of 34 because of this masterpiece.

Amazing animation and Graphics
Probably the best 1 on 1 fighting game for the console. Huge characters taking up most of the screen with massive swords and axes. There were various game modes including story mode as well as the normal tournament. So many moves to pull off but without the difficulty of some other fighting games.

The Marinated Meeple (1853 KP) rated Life Of Pi (2012) in Movies
May 10, 2018
Visually amazing, but the book is much better.
Internal dialog is something that can't be shown in a movie, so it's always a crappy voiceover. Read the book. do yourself that favor even if you've seen the movie, it won't really be a spoiler. I've forgotten almost the entire movie anyway. Here's a alternate movie poster from Tom Whalen

Jessica Cashen (1 KP) rated The New Dark in Books
May 16, 2018
Well the cover is gorgeous and the synopsis is amazing. I was drawn to the book from the synopsis, but that is as far as the praise can go. This book has potential but it jumps around entirely to much and is a bit hard to follow. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

better than the prequels by a long shot. (3 more)
Fun little callbacks to the originals
Acting is actually quite good from the newcomers.
The direction is spot on.
This is a fun time at the movies.
This is a very solid addition to the Star Wars franchise. Here's an amazing alternate movie poster in the style of stained glass, which I kinda LOVE.

Riker

Sci-fi, Humour and Bob
One of the first Audible books I listened to. Made short work of my commute and I was hooked after 5 minutes.
Amazing story concept of Bob Prime and his copies alwith their differing personalities, all set in the future with brilliant Star Trek, Simpsons and current pop culture references.
Impossible to put down
