H20 All over again (1 more)
Awakened.
A Decent season but not one of the best
I liked this season of charmed but in comparison to season one and three its my least favorite of the original trio of sisters I did however really enjoy H20 all over again this is a great episode on many levels it tackles the girls losing there mom and also introduces Sam the fallen white lighter who is a great character throughout the series. It also made it possible for us to know whitelighter's can break the rules which happens a couple of episodes later in Awakened when Leo breaks them for Piper which is another great episode of this season

amazing
This one is probably my second favorite start to a series for me from noah.. This was truly amazing.. the storyline was perfect.. the beginning was a tiny bit slow but as soon as the two met it got started and was just perfect.. and the beginning made more sense on why it was slow to me. lol the characters were hott, sexy, strong.. yet had their own issues they both had to overcome.. This story had twists and turns i didnt see coming. it wasn't the typical paranormal romance type of story.. it was different and unique and i loved it. i am very glad i got to review it

Great Story telling
Everything Else
I want to Fight like Lila
I was introduced to V E Schwabs work in January by a friend and i pretty much read all her series in the space of a week an a half. However out of all of her books the darker shade series is my Favorite, Victoria creates an amazing world within world. Her characters are lovable and flawed than will make you love them more. Lila Bard is a fantastic Female protagonist and whilst Kell may be the lead there chemistry together is undeniable.
If you love fantasy good story telling magic mystery suspense then these books are for you!

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Stone Cold (Camel Club, #3) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
This book is my favorite in the Camel Club series by far! The story was filled with so many twists & turns that is was quite the breathless ride. I couldn't put it down for the last half & felt like I held my breath the entire time I was reading!
It tells the story of Soviet & American spies during the Cold War. Without giving too much away there is a great deal of murder & treason involved...along with a great con. I am in love with the character of Annabelle Conroy & so glad that Baldacci decided to bring her along for the ride in this installment too. Looking forward to the next chapter in the Camel Club saga!!!!

Sunk it's claws in from the first episode and never let go.
Grimm was such a unique and fun idea that when I first heard about it I just knew that not only was I going to watch but that I was going to love it and oh boy was I right,
Some of my favorite things are fairy tales and cop shows and Grimm finds such a perfect balance between the two that I stood no chance at all but to fall instantly in love.
And the fact that they take not only from fairy tales but from myths from all over the world just help to set the show apart.

Mekkin B. (122 KP) rated Reefer Madness (2005) in Movies
Sep 11, 2017
This is one of my all time favorite movies. As a musical adapted to the big screen, it retains the rhythmic and incredibly precise movements you might expect from a well rehearsed play. Alan Cummings is brilliant, as are Kristen Bell, Christian Campbell, and Ana Gasteyer. The songs are catchy, campy fun, brilliantly skewering the original Reefer Madness for a new generation. As the film descends into reefer madness and the character's dangerous weed addiction provoke more and more unlikely responses, the film's reality begins to unravel into murder, chaos, and marijuana zombies.
Watch this if you like comedic musicals, cannabis induced cannibalism, or you just want to see Kristen Bell in latex S&M gear.

Andy K (10823 KP) rated Swiss Army Man (2016) in Movies

What a strange tale
I guess kind of a combination of Weekend at Bernie's, Heavenly Creatures and Castaway, Swiss Army Man tells the take of a desperate man at the end of his rope until a new friend washes up on shore. The two become acquainted quickly and decide to have an adventure together.
This film falls right into my favorite genre of weird and vague, so I really enjoyed it. You have never seen anything like this film and it is entertaining throughout.
Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe make a great screen couple and you really enjoy watching them together.
Still not sure how I feel about the ending though.

This was very, very good. I really enjoyed it, especially because I listened to it as an Audiobook and it was read by Rosario Dawson. She's always been one of my favorite actresses, but I didn't how great she is at voices or how captivating she can be just by listening to her. She really brought the story to life and made me care about and like Jazz, as well as the other characters. I really hope Andy Weir writes a sequel to Artemis because he definitely left it open for one, and if not, I'll be really disappointed. But overall, I loved this book and I would read it again in a heartbeat!!
Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated The Twelve Tribes of Hattie in Books
May 10, 2018
I could not put this book down. I had to find out what happened next, even though it wasn't that kind of book. Each chapter is about one of Hattie's children(tribe). It tells the story of their mother and their life because of their mother through each individuals point of view. That was very interesting to me. I would have liked for there to have been a Hattie chapter reflecting on each of her children in her older years, but other than that...I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I know that this was the first novel for Ayana Mathis, but if she continues to write like this, she will be added to my favorite authors list for sure!!
