Rachel S. (1 KP) rated The Orville in TV

The Orville
2017 | Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi
That it was poking fun at itself, and the shows of the past in a good way and not in a bad stereotypical SNL type way. (0 more)
The shoe fell into the trap of not really having a good story foundation, it was more about poking fun at things then telling a story. That was ok for awhile, but that only gets you so far. (0 more)
Was cute at first, but got repetitive fast
  
It's full out war as the Grimm family trains some Everafters to try to take down the Scarlett Hand. This is the darkest book in the series so far, and it doesn't feel like it has a real climax. However, I did enjoy it and look forward to reading the next one.

HeroQuest Advanced Quest
HeroQuest Advanced Quest
1990 | Adventure, Exploration, Fantasy, Fighting
The advanced quest was a step beyond the "newb-friendly" Hero Quest. Dice rolling was made more complex, and the quests became more arduous. This was a step too far and possibly put me off a career in D&D for life, after the gentle, easy to follow rules of the original. The added rules and complexity took away from the enjoyment for me, but then I was only about 11 at the time...

A bit of a life/ money saver!
This app has saved me from buying duplicate books on several occasions. I read a lot of books, and some are harder to remember than others! I like seeing what other people are reading too, which does add to my ‘want to read’ list quite significantly, as do the recommendations. Ah well, there are far worse things that I could be spending my time and money on!!

Movie Rating
Well this doesn't seem to be too popular. I can see why, I found it ok but far from great or laugh out loud funny. One that plays on the male/female relationship during an usual setting and events. Seems a popular choice of idea with The Killers, Knight and Day also out this year. However for a Rom-com The ugly truth was way better and for more action go for Knight and day.

This was quite funny but in an extremely silly sort of way. The whole thing felt kinda puerile and shallow.

Aisling amused and annoyed me in equal measure; she behaved ridiculously. Drake came across as an insufferable sleaze. And the supporting cast of characters seriously lacked depth and development.

I did find You Slay Me to be an entertaining read -I certainly didn't hate it -but it far from blew my socks off.

As far as I can remember this was my first Laymon novel. I read it quite a while ago now so I don't remember a great deal about it. I gave it 4 stars as this is the book that got me into reading laymon and I have to say he is one of my favourite authors. I remember being transfixed to this book. It's well written, fast paced and shocking. Great read!

Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (1984) deserves far more fortune and glory on its 35th Anniversary
Unjustly denigrated by fans, unfairly disowned by its creators, “Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom” has long had to fend off more than its fair share of criticism. Now, on its 35th Anniversary, it’s time this neglected middle child of the Indiana Jones saga got the praise it’s due.
