Chrissie-ann (78 KP) rated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) in Movies

Chris Pratt steals the show
I loved this! Just as much as I enjoyed the first one. Chris Pratt brings so much humour and "normalmess" to the film. Finding out more about his character and watching the developing relationships and new relationships form felt personal. It had such a feel good feeling surrounding it even when emotions were high. Of course it was action packed with a strong vast. I didn't think baby groot could have had a decent role with this film, but I was surprised and accepting of his role and appearance. I could watch this over and over.
I can't forget to add that the soundtrack is awesome!

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children in Books
Jul 12, 2018
This was a really interesting book. I really liked the fact that the book had some pictures in it. It helps the reader visualize what the character is seeing. The pictures are old vintage photos so it also helped shape the feel of the book too.
I waited a while to read this book because of the price but I will say that this book was worth the money I spent on it. It has fantasy, mystery and a little bit of romance. It shows the struggles of the characters and makes you entranced with the writing.
Ransom Riggs is a very good author and this book was well written.

Addicting but lots of problems.
I use to be on Tumblr non stop but slowly faded out of it but I still get on every once in awhile.
The apps not terrible it's just I've always found that half of the stuff doesn't load there are so many ads on it and I don't know I just don't feel like it does is good in and out but trying to load it in a web browser on your phone doesn't really help either I'm not really sure what they could do to improve it I just know that I'm not a huge fan of it in app form.

Joni Thomas (33 KP) rated Titanic (1997) in Movies

I love all things Titanic related. This movie is what started the obsession so it will always have a special place in my heart.
I think the movie's casting was perfect. The drama was perfect, the storyline really draws you in and even though you know how the story ends you still find yourself wishing the ship would just miss the iceberg, just this once.
The special effects are quite good for the year the movie was made.
I love that although Jack and Rose are made up characters that there are some historical figures featured in the movie also. It really gives the movie a more authentic feel.

I'm not quite sure who started this popular tumblr-style spacing poetry, but it is so annoying and I feel like it makes the poetry less effective. That's simply why I've rated it so low.
The poetry was fairly good, but I couldn't help but think of rupi kaur... and that kind of tainted this for me. It certainly didn't empower or inspire me in anyway, aside from inspiring me to use capital letters and spacing correctly. This was definitely a quick read, and maybe took me 30 minutes. I've rented the next one from the library, so I guess I'll soldier on with the next one.

Jump scares
Real nuns were scarier
Being a fan of the Conjuring movies & Annabelle: Creation, I was looking forward to this film. So, it was a let down that the movie was kinda lame. It totally relies on jump scares, which is the cheap way out for horror. Take these out & the movie still wasn't scary. I did like the look of the film & the acting was above average. The story was okay as well. I don't feel like I wasted my time with this, but I would never watch it again.
Sorry for the short review, but there's not much to say about the film.

Deborah (162 KP) rated The Lifted Veil in Books
Dec 21, 2018
The Lifted Veil is a novella or short story by George Eliot. The story is told by Latimer, who has just been told he has not much longer to live, and looks back on the events of his earlier life. What makes this story slightly unusual, at least taking into acount the time it was written, is that Latimer seems to suffer from some sort of illness and this may or may not be related to his ability to read the emotions and/or thoughts of other people. This ability is the lifted veil of the title. It's not a cheery, happy-ending feel-good story, but it is interesting.
Veronica Pena (690 KP) rated The Rainmaker (1997) in Movies

As a CJUS major and a future lawyer, this movie made me nerd out. Obviously, Matt Damon is a hottie and the film is worth watching for him alone, but Danny DeVito and Jon Voight too? This cast is phenomenal. The story was so good too! Johnny Whitworth's performance, though short, was super incredible, heartbreaking, and solid. He roped you in so well and just made you feel for him - even though it wasn't that hard.
I could watch this a million times over and even though there were definitely mistakes (the legal ones), it was worth overlooking and still an enjoyable film, no doubt.

Toni Lynn Donald (2027 KP) rated A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) in Movies

Wonderful, heartwarming movie
Just finished watching and had to write a review. This was so beautifully done. It was about the man who interviewed Mr.Rodgers for a magazine article and the lessons he learned from him. Tom Hanks was amazing as Mr. Rodgers. It also made me remember my childhood and the things I loved about Mr.Rodgers. I had a tough time as a kid, i had seizures and kids made fun of me. I remember Mr. Rodgers having children on the show with disabilities and it made me not feel alone. I really loved this movie. It had a good lesson to it too.

Quacks is brilliant
An enjoyable game with a nice theme. The game play is quick and fun with multiple strategies available.
I'm not the luckiest person when it comes to boardgames, but I still enjoyed the risk factor of removing an extra ingredient just to move further around your swirling board... Even if it did regularly end in my potion exploding.
