Kevin Wilson (179 KP) rated Truth or Dare (2018) in Movies
Jul 20, 2018
Full of cliches (2 more)
Not scary or gory
Predicatable
Disappointing and full of cliches
This is a mediocre movie. It had an interesting concept but fell short and feels a lot like other movies out there.
It was not scary or gory and the truth & dares could have been a lot more ambitious.
I like a couple of the actors but no character felt likable. The movie was predictable and felt slow paced at times.
The CGI isn't too great when truth or dare is being asked. At least I think it's CGI bulecause it just looks too weird.
Ok the plus side I didn't fall asleep so I wouldn't say it's the most horrible movie. I also went into this with low expectations.

The Story of a Stray Cat and Her Car
Josephine, a stray cat, has finally found a home in Jennifer’s backseat. Jennifer is a car left in a corner of a junk yard. However, their lives change when a traveling salesman buys Jennifer one day. He’s always in a hurry. What will that mean for Jennifer and Josephine?
This is another of Bill Peet’s odd couple books, and Josephine’s devotion to Jennifer is very touching. We get this story from the cat’s point of view, although we occasionally get glimpses into Jennifer’s feelings. The story is definitely from a slower, simpler time, and that leads to a story that drags a little in the middle, but that’s the only real complaint here.

What did I just watch
Contains spoilers, click to show
I feel like this was a large waste of my time. The main characters in this movie are a married couple who are expecting a child. He is a poet and she seems to be decorator. They live in a beautiful mansion in the middle of no where and people just keep showing up. He is very unsupportive of her feeling of all of these individuals intruding on her home. Everytime she requests he ask the visitors to leave he comes up with s ok me reason as to why he cant. By the end of the movie I was literally sickened by his behavior. I am a HUGE horror movie fan but this one fell short for me.
Roxanne (13 KP) rated Nyctophobia in Books
Nov 14, 2018
<b>2 Star Rating</b> __
This ended up being quite a difficult read for me as I found it very slow paced, there was so much build up to pretty much nothing in my opinion.
I found each character quite annoying and fairly dim to be honest as who really buys a property without seeing half of it? Not a lot of the storyline made a lot of sense and there were quite a few errors in the writing which was pretty distracting.
It wasn't all bad as there were a couple of chilling scenes but unfortunately they were very short lived, I wanted more scenes like that.
The idea for the story is indeed very original but in my opinion isn't very well executed.
Nevermind...

Roxanne (13 KP) rated 100 Ways to Make Your Baby Smile in Books
Nov 14, 2018
This book is absolutely adorable! So so cute! I loved the happy, smiley baby pictures with the bright colours and easy to read sections. The book is basically a list, from 1 to 100, of possible ways to make your little one smile. Some of the ideas are common knowledge, however, I found a few that I never would of thought of...some great ideas! I have tried a couple of the ideas out on my bubs and have had some beautiful smiles. For the presentation of the book I would give 5 stars but as I'm not sure that the rest of the ideas will work (my baby is too young at the moment) I gave this book an overall rating of 4 stars.
Lee KM Pallatina (951 KP) rated Murder Mystery (2019) in Movies

Guess who?
Murder mystery is exactly that, a murder mystery. Sandler and Aniston co star in this comedy as a police officer who can't seem to pass his detectives exam and his wife, a hairdresser in need of a break. The couple go on a long awaited retreat but are offered a cruise ride by a rich stranger in place of a tour bus.
After accepting and meeting the other passengers on board, thing's quickly go south when one of them is murdered (see where this is going?) The jokes come in nicely and the couple's banter is fun.
This is the best I've seen Sandler since the ridiculous 6 and Aniston since the bounty hunter.

Great start to a series
I got sent a reading copy of this book for an honest review and I am so glad I did. Even though it followed roughly the same lines as a lot of other books it had some nice twists to keep you on your toes, there wasn't any unnecessary description which made it fast paced (I read it in a couple of hours) and it was refreshing to see that there is a bit more realism in how a person is likely to react to a life threatening situation.
I think the story could have been longer but overall I thought it was very well executed and can't wait to read the rest in the series.

James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Afro-Polo by A-F-R-O / Marco Polo in Music
Nov 7, 2019
Whered he come from?
Where did A-F-R-O come from? He did a couple of guest spots with the likes of RA the Rugged Man and really impressed but did we expect this??
Marco Polo brings that traditional boom bap New York sound, you know what you getting, business as usual and all good here. There is a song featuring Gift of Gab and RA the Rugged Man and that's a perfect reference point for A-F-R-O's flow, it's that scattered pin point accurate raps and if he keeps up this consistency on a few more releases he could be widely recognised in grandeur.

Merissa (12934 KP) rated Tanner (Romance & Revolutions #1) in Books
Mar 4, 2020
I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it takes us along with Tanner and Shane. I loved how it was acknowledged that things had moved along too far in one direction, which wasn't benefitting anyone.
Tanner and Shane are such a cute couple. I loved how open-minded Shane was and even able to put his own little twist to things. Plus, his relationships with the other omegas was just a joy to read.
A brilliant introduction to this world and I really want to read more! Absolutely recommended by me.

It's was ok.......
Great story line a couple wanting a baby and that's exactly what they got only difference is it came in a spaceship, the child grows and they make many memories as a family until the boy (Brandon) starts hearing a voice that us veiwers soon find out he's been sent to take the world.
The film had plenty of creepy feel to it, with Brandon playing the good role of the young crazy guy. And His mum played by Elizabeth Banks couldn't have been a better character, she seems to do well in a cheesy horror (slither).
On the whole it was a good watch, I didn't know what to expect I wasn't 100% amazed but a good 7/10!
