BobbiesDustyPages (1259 KP) rated Shazam! (2019) in Movies
Apr 17, 2019
Funny and heartwarming
So went and saw Shazam! last night and you know what I FREAKING LOVED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF IT! Seriously it was funny, heartwarming and an all around amazing movie! I went in not knowing what to expect since Shazam! is the first superhero movie I've ever seen that I knew nothing about the character ahead of time. Definitely my favorite recent DC movie❤⚡? and that is saying something because I adored Wonder Woman and really enjoyed Aquaman. I'm really glad that DC movies finally seem to be finding their stride because it has been a long time coming.

A book no matter your age you just want to jump right into.
How I've made it to almost 30 years old without reading this book I will never know I grew up on the movie it was my dad and my brother's favorite movie and we had it on constantly in the house. I really wanted to start this year with a fun and easy read and something that's been on my to be read list for most of my life and in the end I really did enjoy it it was super fun and quirky and from beginning to end just a really great book.

Snoozefest
I rented this movie with high expectations because of my love for both Dwayne Johnson and Neve Campbell and I guess it's true what they say. Every actor does one bad movie in their career. For Dwayne Johnson Skyscraper is it. I felt this movie would keep me on the edge of my seat but the plot fell short for me and it shouldve made me feel for these characters but there was something lacking and honestly it didnt suck me in and I could've cared less if the family survived or not in the end. Def not my favorite

Sheriff Chuck vs. the indistructable
Before Chuck Norris was everyone's favorite meme, he actually made cool action movies in the 1980s.
This time he is pitted against a seemingly unstoppable superhuman psycho mute who killed his family and is experimented on at the local hospital. He escapes capture and it's up to Chuck to save us all.
The film is like 50/50 horror/action. His enemy is part Terminator and part Michael Myers. There is a decent amount of action and 80s gratuitous nudity to boot.
Probably not for everyone, but I likes me some 80s cheesy action.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Inked Expressions (Montgomery Ink, #7) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I voluntary reviewed an ARC copy of this book.
I am hard pressed to find anything Carrie Ann Ryan writes that I dont enjoy. I am not a fan of contemporary romance but I know that Ryan rarely, if ever, disappoints. Inked Expressions has everything you come to love from a Ryan contemporary romance: characters with more depth than the Grand Canyon, a storyline as entertaining as it is romantic, and lets not leave out the steamy scenes between a couple youll root for from page one. Not to mention it is a friends to lovers story which is hands down one of my favorite tropes.

I remember seeing this in the movie theater when I was a young girl I at first was mesmerized by the mystics they we sweet and kind but when the skeksi came on I found myself terrified as a young kid I found myself going from hiding my face to amazement. As I grew older this movie became one of my absolute favorite along with labyrinth and the neverending story! Can be very scary for young viewers but a treat for those at an age where they can properly enjoy it without being scared

The Bane of his exisitance
A little more than half a decade has passed since the Joker tried taking over Gotham and the Batman has gone underground. A rouge mercenary known as Bane has now come to Gotham to stake his claim and make crime first and innocent last. This obviously draws out the Bat for a new fight and ends up getting help from an unlikely criminal ally known as Catwoman.
Bale has not been one of my favorite Batmen for as he is portraying a darker version. We have all grown up on different versions. Tom Hardy is good as villainous Bane and Hathaway isn't half bad as Catwoman.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2163 KP) rated Mr Monk Goes to the Firehouse in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When the Dalmatian at the local firehouse is killed, Julie hires Monk to find out what happened, which leads him to a fatal fire and an even bigger mystery. Fans of the TV show will rejoice in this great start to a tie in series. Still has one of my favorite scenes in any Monk story, book or TV episode.
This did go on to become the basis of the TV episode "Mr. Monk Can't See a Thing" in the next season of the show.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2163 KP) rated Revenge of the Spellmans (The Spellmans, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Izzy Spellman is enjoying her time off from the family PI business. But then she gets a client who thinks his wife is cheating on him. That's not the case, but the wife does have some secret. Meanwhile, little sister Rae is accused to cheating on her PSAT's and Izzy moves into her brother's basement. Yep, it's more wacky fun with my favorite dysfunctional family. I did feel things were feeling a little too familiar at this point, but it was still lots of fun.

Dana (24 KP) rated Alice in Zombieland - White Rabbit Chronicles in Books
Mar 23, 2018
I really enjoyed this book. There was just enough action and romance in it. A lot of people may say that they don't like it because it has nothing to do with Alice in Wonderland (which is one of my all time favorite books) but it is the subtle hints at the characters from Alice in Wonderland that make it awesome. It is not a remake of a classic, but an amazing telling of a story with characters who may have some of the same traits as the originals. Alice Bell is strong, independent, courageous and faithful, just like Alice from Caroll's book. I highly recommend this book.
