Kate (355 KP) rated Passengers (2016) in Movies
Apr 2, 2019
Watched it again last night as had not seen it for a while, still enjoyed it. I have questions though - when the rest of the crew woke up 88 years later, yes they found a changed ship but were there descendants of the main characters on the ship or would they have found two decomposed bodies (sorry about that). Sometimes it is good to watch a film where there are only a couple of people in it because you can then get to know them whereas if you watch a fully cast film some of the characters get lost.
April Rose Mossow (93 KP) rated The Storyteller in Books
May 20, 2019
I read this book a couple of months ago. I liked it a lot. I was able to connect with some of the characters and my only negative opinion about this book would be that I'd have liked to have seen the main character's focal patient, given a bigger story. Picoult really didn't extend on her as well as I'd hoped. The story was believeable, however I was not happy with the ex husband's stance in the beginnging. I guess I'm that way about religion, I don't agree with christians imposing their beliefs on others so strongly.

beautiful underwater scenery (2 more)
good graphics
very educational message
What a cool idea
Well i tried this game not knowing what to expect and i was pleasantly surprised. Its basically an underwater adventure similar to RIME in the way you have to solve puzzles to advance. The graphics are breath taking and the interaction with the underwater wildlife is both educational and fascinating. Apart from a couple of areas with things you have to avoid its a smooth, flowing game that is very relaxing and enjoyable. I would give this a try if you love slow paced adventure games.
Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Final Destination (2000) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Released 17 years ago in March 2000, Final Destination revolutionised the teen-slasher genre for 00s after Scream did so well for the 90s generation of horror buffs.
The premise was perfectly realised as high-school students tried their best to cheat death after a horrific disaster. The plane sequence in this film still holds up today and remains one of the best horror moments in the last couple of decades.
The acting on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. Though a young Devon Sawa was a magnetic leading presence.

Omg amazing. I am in love with this series already.. the characters and plot.. I love what appears to be the start of romance between a trio..I honestly have fallen in love with 2 of the guys so I'm not sure which way this will go. I find myself feeling horrible for Shade at some places and in other places I wanted to go through the computer and hurt her. lol And a couple of times I wanted to throw my kindle against the wall. Lol, that is when you know the book is awesome. Starting the 2nd one now woohoo.

I was so lucky to have received an advanced copy through a Goodreads giveaway-thank you!!
I've read all of Lisa Scottoline's books and I can say she did NOT disappoint in this one!! I loved it!
Had I not had a needy 1 year old I would have finished it in a couple of days but alas I had to read at night...Moms yall can relate! :-)
The best thing is that she allows your imagination to run wild with "who did its" and so forth and when you think you have figured it out she still shocks you. Awesome book!!

Never ending challenging fun
I've tried other hidden object games before, but after just a couple times of logging in, I found I was easily bored, or confused by the flow of the game. With Seeker's Notes, I find myself challenged and motivated to play. The levels get progressively harder, but not so drastically that you give up or have to spend a fortune to simply play. The graphics are phenomenal and the game runs with very few glitches. Plus, the support staff are quick to answer questions and help if you do run into problems.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2488 KP) rated Disney After Dark (The Kingdom Keepers, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Finn is having very strange and vivid dreams that find him in the Magic Kingdom of Disney World. Turns out it’s a side effect of his status as a holographic host. And he and the other hosts must figure out a way to stop an evil that is spreading through the park. I must admit the most characters were rather weak and plot had a couple big holes. But, Disney fanatic that I am, I couldn't put this young adult novel down.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2488 KP) rated Cockatiels at Seven (Meg Langslow, #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Meg agrees to babysit a toddler, she just thinks it will be for a few hours. So when the mother hasn't returned by that night, she begins to try to track her down. Naturally, the trail leads to scandal, and dead body, and laughs. I thought this book was stronger than the last couple in the series. The humor was sharper since it focused on the antics of the toddler, and the mystery was better.
