Dianne Robbins (1738 KP) rated Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation (2018) in Movies
Mar 31, 2019
I adored the first two Hotel Transylvania's but this one was boring and (no pun intended for a vampire movie) lifeless. I thought it was sad and depressing not full of joy like the first two. Maybe someone wanted to make a cautionary tale about catfishing or the elderly getting scammed, but man, this was lousy.

Easily the best film in it's year.
Stunningly good film. I went to see it with no idea what it was about and no expectations. Baring in mind the subject matter this could have been a depressing film but it really isn't. Thanks acting is superb, across the board. I cannot recommend this film highly enough.

Somehow Makes Creepy & Depressing Work
I don't usually like overly sad, weird, or creepy stuff. I know it has its place; it's just not my thing. The Black Parade checks all those boxes...and yet, it's among my favorite albums. Ever. No, I'm not sure what set it apart. But I'm glad I listened to it.

Poignant but slow
This is rather a depressing account about how families and communities attempt to deal with the case of a missing person. In this instance it is about how society moves on with their lives leaving behind the families to deal with it. it is well written with beautiful descriptions but it tends to be quite a slow burner.

Depressing, important but unstructured
As a general Chomsky fan, his arguments are always important and well rounded. However, this book felt very unstructured and more like a long rant. He switched from one country to another making it difficult to follow his original message and it ends up being a jumble of disputes. I've definitely read better of his works.
Domonique (0 KP) rated The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in Books
May 12, 2018
This was interesting, informative and a bit depressing because I didn't realize just how many of our black men are in prison. And the fact that people don't see how mass incarceration is a form of racism and segregation is baffling to me. I think this is a book that all people should read so they can understand how justice really works.
Erika (17788 KP) rated Manchester by the Sea (2016) in Movies
Dec 8, 2017
This was one of the better Oscar nominated films that came out last year. Casey Affleck did do a good job with the role, and he was completely believable. The trailer did not let on how depressing the story line was, but I was glad that I saw it. Michelle Williams isn't really great in this, but I'm not a fan of hers at all.
