Fun to watch but nothing special
This is predictable beyond belief. As are most comic book films. A doctor has a big predicament (there's always some trouble at the beginning) and then has to become all-powerful to overcome this. Literally that's pretty much the entire storyline - it's not particularly intelligent. That being said, the graphics are pretty stunning, the scenes showing Benedict Cumberbatch running from one dimension to another is absolutely breathtaking. It feels on a higher scale than other Marvel films in terms of cinematography.
graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Night of the Living Rerun (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 1, #2) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Utterly terrible, boring, and cliche. The plot involves the Salem Witch Trials, reincarnation, and zombies, which I'm not saying can't work, it just didn't with this one. Not one thing or person in this book bore any resemblance to those in the series, other than using the same names, and the dialogue was beyond awkward. I'm not even sure the author ever saw the show. Everything was so cardboard. No, I'm wrong, it was far worse than that, more like cardboard that had been out in a torrential downpour. For a week. Gross, soggy, mushy cardboard. Filled with rat turds. Not recommended at all.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Lenovo Star Wars Jedi Challenges AR in Tech
Feb 23, 2019 (Updated Feb 23, 2019)
I've had this AR set since my birthday last June. It is beyond fun, you utilize an app @Star Wars™: Jedi Challenges on your phone in the AR headset to play.
I have to say, it's very creepy to have Darth Vader projected into your home and having to fight him.
The lightsaber is comfortable to use and the AR set is comfortable. Though, you wouldn't want to play this game for more than 45 minutes at a time because it becomes a little unnerving.
There are three aspects to the game, battle strategy, holochess, and, of course, lightsaber battles. I absolutely love this game and highly recommend it.

Simpler Times
Hanks produces 17 short stories that although exist in modern times, somehow feel as if Hanks has created a simpler, kinder, more gentle world. Hanks approaches such delicate topics as war, and infidelity, while at the same time maintaining a light tone. He really makes his reader feel as if it is all going to be OK, without being coming across as preachy or disingenuous. While Hanks leaves little to the imagination about just how a beloved typewriter sounds when striking a key, he does little work, if any to develop his characters beyond the most sparse descriptions.
Zuky the BookBum (15 KP) rated Wuthering Heights in Books
Mar 15, 2018
Maybe this book works for people who are interested in the Victorian era and are easily pleased by drab events happening to drab people on a drab landscape. For me, this book was beyond ridiculous!
Heath was the only character I liked, the one I wasn't supposed to like. He was the only character who had any redeeming features and who I actually had some feelings for. Cathy is just an over-the-top fruit loop with a stick up... well, where the sun don't shine. Yeah she didn't have the best upbringing or the best family but she didn't need to become so self righteous.
Dull, dull and dull.

The Importance of Recognizing Hate.
This novel is worth reading because the storyline is so powerful and important. As a reader, you would connect to the main character, Starr. Her voice, her life experience and the community around her, are what set this story to be so powerful and beyond words. I truly recommend people to read this book not only because the topic in the book is important but because its necessary to read about what is going on today with our children and our country.

No disassemble Number 5!
I remember when I saw this movie at the theatre in 1986 when it was the 2nd half of a double feature. I don't even remember what the first movie was any more.
I love this movie beyond words. The goofy humor of the robot, his interactions with Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg, and even GW Bailey playing the always bad guy.
Some of the robot's one liners were just precious! "You're mamma was a snowblower!"
Probably one of those 80s movies you had to be alive then to appreciate, but still a classic!

Get my bitchy out
As a stay at home mom with very few friends in the real world, I tend to find escape in Netflix original programming. Litchfield minimum security has made my nap time much more interesting since I can get involved in someone else's drama and not pick petty fights with the grocery store clerk. I hate all those women, but I seriously cant live without them now. This is the perfect show of your maturity is beyond high school and you've watched all the episodes of friends

I was so not ready for this ending... What can I say? Beautiful beyond words... I can't even begin to say how much I loved seeing this next step towards the new life these two are building after surviving more than any two people should. The first two books in this series were so dark and twisted yet this ending somehow made it all right and beautiful in the end. His devotion to making things right between them gripped at my heart and I was SO happy that these two could find love after all they gone through. PERFECT ending to an incredible series!!
The picky eater that I am, when I see a book such as this - that makes me want to eat everything on the page - they have surely outdone themselves! This is one of those books that seeing in eBook format makes me NEED to see and touch it. Images throughout this book are truly incredible - clean, fresh and beyond appealing. Love the simple, clean country look. Contains many incredibly helpful tips and techniques for both cooking and kitchen, that every cook or baker would benefit from as well as a collection of both basic and creative recipes! Steps are wonderfully detailed and illustrated - truly a work of art!
