Stephanie (4 KP) rated Ticket to Ride: Europe in Tabletop Games
Jun 29, 2018
Ticket to ride is a very fun and strategic game for the whole family to play. This game takes a little bit of patience when first learning how to play as some aspects of the game can be a bit tricky to understand. Once you fully know the rules and understand how to play, then the game tends to run quite fast as you only have 4 options of things to do each time your turn comes round. This is a game that you can pick up and play a couple of times in a row. It is a great game and is especially good for all those competitive players out there.

Still not appropriate for kids....but close
Oh. Am. Gee. I knew I wanted to see this movie cuz I knew it would be good. Had no clue it would be as good as it was. Knowing who the bad guys are in no way takes away from the film. I did have a couple places where I had to close my eyes. The ground just looked a little too far away. I'm not afraid of heights at all, so if you are, be warned: this movie will test those fears.
Bottom line: see this movie! You'll be glad you did!!!

Wouldn’t watch again

I should start by saying I watched the first film every day for a fortnight, such is my love for it. I was really disappointed by this version. Lily James did well taking in the role of young Donna but the story was so disjointed. For example, Sophie is sick once and knows she is pregnant? I also feel Cher’s role was unnecessary, she’s never been on the scene for Donna or Sophie then she turns up, decides to be grandma and is immediately accepted, just so she can sing a couple of numbers?
Good choice of ABBA dogs, not the most expected ones.

This was an "ok" movie. The acting was a little weak. The cinematography was mediocre. The story was interesting, though. Shot in a "home video" style, which isn't unique, but the story itself was. A couple of teens go visit their grandparents they've never met and a lot of weird stuff happens during that week. There's a good twist to the movie you get about 2/3 into it. Not bad. The ending though, was... off. Like it went from being a "serious" creepy movie to being comedic just for the very last scene. Not sure what they were doing there, but whatever. If you're bored and you have nothing better to do, this one could entertain.

I remember watching this at the pictures when it first came out.it is well written some great actors in brad Pitt and Morgon Freeman.
I don't think I've ever watched it again and that's mainly because it really pulled me into the plot the first time. It was a great thriller/ horror and had more than a couple jumpy moments the part with the man in the bed with the air freshners is the only bit in a film that has ever made me scream outload.
This is not an easy watch there are a few times it is uncomfortable and you want to look away but films like that are usually the best films.

A very good Slasher series
I finally got round to seeing this series. I'm a big fan of Scream so it's interesting to see how this compares. It's very good and feels like the film in many ways. Wes Craven was an executive producer, so that probably helped.
Self aware as always and even mentions the difficulty of doing a slasher series. It maintains momentum quite well. There are plenty of twists and red herrings as to who the killer is. Maybe could have been a couple of episodes shorter. Overall though if you are a fan of the film you should enjoy this.

Fun for the whole family (1 more)
Easy to pick up
I was introduced to this game by my uncle a couple of years ago. When he first tried explaining the gameplay to me I was extremely confused... But I persisted and played a game. It only took me one game to pick up the rules completely and I was loving it. The game is very fun and you find yourself wanting to sabotage your family members so you can be crowned champion!! I hear the expansion pack also brings added comedic value in the form of a Cone of Shame. Would highly recommend as an icebreaker game or to kick start an evening of board games shenanigans.

The flashback scenes
A drama full of twists and turns
Dr. Tom Delaney (played with a convincing British accent by Michael C Hall) lives with his daughters in a gated community, but following a party when a young lad is found dead in a swimming pool and Tom's daughter goes missing life begins to unravel for the residents of the exclusive area.
Twists, turns, red herrings and surprises galore in this 8 episode series where it is almost impossible to guess what might come next. Until it smacks you in the face...
It took a couple of episodes to really get going but once it did, it didn't hold back...

Kristy H (1252 KP) rated My Lovely Wife in Books
Mar 19, 2020
One of the most hyped books in ages--about a murderous married couple--completely fell flat for me. What a disappointment! I slogged through most of this one waiting for it to get good and see what all the fuss was about. I felt nothing for the characters except irritation. This was the ultimate epitome of a slow start. It picked up a bit, but there was nothing to redeem these hateful characters. The entire book was incredibly anticlimactic until a rushed, uncertain ending. Ugh. Still, I can see bits and pieces of why others found it so interesting, and I'll still be intrigued to read Downing's next book. 2.5 stars, though, for me.
Old School Johnny (30 KP) rated Ozark - Season 3 in TV

Great crime drama that feels very cinematic ?
I am not big into TV shows however after watching the first two seasons of Ozark I was immediately hooked. Season three is equally as good if not better than previous two. For one, every character's actions have consequences that contribute to the larger story as whole. Additionally, the intensity in each episode is raised just a bit enough to keep the audience from predicting what will happen next. If you thought season 2 was a bit slower, season three definitely takes it up a couple of notches. I am excited for future seasons and give the show my high praise.
