kind of boring
Not as good as the critics said
"Eighth Grade" was hailed as a funny, uncomfortable look at what it is "really like" to be in eighth grade. Instead, I found it to just be an uncomfortable look at what a particular person might go through, but it didn't feel related - at all - to what I experienced in eighth grade.
It is basically a series of scenes, with no real engaging storyline or character growth, and I was kind of bored during most of it.

starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Stripped with the Vampire (Austin Immortals, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
This was a very interesting and different take on a story. I really enjoyed the different aspect to this story. Parts were slower then normal for my liking but overall I enjoyed the characters and their tale. The writing made me feel like I was part of the story in most parts. The heat wasn't as much as I was expecting between the characters but it was a very good start and I will enjoy seeing where this series goes. I'm glad I was given this for an honest review.

Fantasy isn't one of my favorite genre's but this was a short, sweet and fun story to read. The descriptive writing was amazing. I felt like I was seeing everything as it was happening. I felt like I could feel what was going on, the sea, the water, the sand, the people everything. It was a fun, easy read. I enjoyed how not everything was easy for her.. how things were bad.. and things were good.. Overall this was a very enjoyable story and I am excited to see what happenes next.

Strange
A very strange and quirky film. It has some scenes filmed in Scotland high streets with the cameras hidden whilst the public walk past Scarlett Johansson, in a wig, unnoticed. Even featuring a couple of people in the film who were just volunteers really to take part.
The score is good and helps with the eerie feel. The main problem is that the film doesn't seem to know which direction to take. It does turn quite dark suddenly as well. More well known for other reasons.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2373 KP) rated Sprinkle with Murder (Cupcake Bakery Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Mel is accused of murdering her best friend's fiancee, she has to set down her cupcake tins and start sleuthing to find the killer.
I've heard such praise for this series, and I didn't feel the debut quite lived up to the promise. However, I did find the plot good and the characters real. I enjoyed the book enough that I will continue on with the second in the series.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018) in Movies
Mar 30, 2018 (Updated Mar 30, 2018)
I wanted to like this.. but it was not good. I love big dumb action films, and I loved the 1st Pacific Rim, but Jesus, they can't keep making movies like this. The first Pacific Rim had heart, and it was interesting.
This film was not interesting. It was predictable, and kind of lame. It seemed to definitely be aimed more towards children. All of the best parts of the jaeger fighting were shown in the trailers. I'm so disappointed.
I feel so betrayed. Why TF did they make this movie without GDT?

Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Voices of Dragons (Voices of Dragons, #1) in Books

Very good book, especially for the young adult market. I love the fact that Vaughn doesn't write much differently here than she does in her established series, so she doesn't feel like she's talking down to teens at all.
There's one thing that really bugs me, but if I bring up exactly what it is, it will be a spoiler. I will say that I don't honestly think that every YA book or series really has to include a particular sort of negative experience in order for the protagonist to experience growth.

A revival sent straight to the grave
I can't say that I didn't enjoy watching this season, but I felt they had to have a seriously good story for bringing Michael back to life. Unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations and I don't feel the sorry was strong enough to support Micheals return. The plot seemed forced in some places and didn't have the intelligence behind it as it did in the first season. I enjoyed watching it but so much more could have been done.
Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Rules for a Knight in Books
Jul 12, 2018
So, I picked this book up for book club. I was told that it was a "feel good" book that was short and sweet. That is definitely not how I would describe this. "Rules for a Knight" is a small book of fables. One of the fables is almost word for word (might actually be an infringement on copyright) of the two wolves parable.
I'm not sure what I was expecting (possibly a true plot) but the novella was okay. The fables were okay, nothing more, nothing less.

Beautiful designs
Good characters
Better than my expectations
Love this game very beautiful and personally one of my favourite assassins creed games for that reason. Controls are very easy and has a nice menu layout for upgrading or changing weapons/armour ect. Also enjoying the story very much only negative is i feel some of the missions can get a little repetitive as they are the same mission just with a different setting so would have been nice to see more variation!
