Limps along slowly
Oh dear, the description I read about this film stated it was about an "intense love affair". Sounded like it would be pretty good but sadly it wasn't. I was bored within ten minutes but hoped it would uptempo as it got going. It didn't. The film dragged along, i didn't feel any chemistry between the two leads and did not believe in their relationship.

Touchdown
A great heartfelt feel-good film based on a true story. Great performances from the lead character and Sandra Bullock adds a touch of charm to her role. Plenty of fun light-hearted moments along the way. A story that will keep your interest to the very end. Nice touch to see the photos of the real people the story is about at the credits!

Surreal film
A very well made film with a good cast. An actor from a big TV show is now a struggling Theatre director who longs for his former glory days. It has some long unedited scenes which almost make it feel like watching a stage show. It uses some other clever camera tricks. The film is quite strange and might be a bit marmite because of it.

It was a good book and I’m sure the sequel will be even better but I feel like there could have been more depth to it. I don’t know, I just think there was something missing. When it ended I felt it was a bit meh. I’ll read the next one because I dislike leaving it on a cliff hanger but I hope there’s a lot more to it.

A friends who are in love with each other but deny it book. As with books like this there is a feel good ending that makes you smile. The plot is fluffy and well known but it doesn't matter. The characters are perfect for each other and you can't wait for the happily ever after.
A perfect read for a anyone who wants something cute, happy, and just plain adorable.

I really enjoyed this one also.. but it is book 3 and I feel the same way as 3.5. I have missed some stuff. Cliffhanger ending but that's ok. I don't mind those except when I haven't read the others first and have to review a book lol. The writing was awesome, characters amazing and the plot was very good. I am glad I got to review this

It's very tough to keep the audience interested in a film set in a wooden box for 90mins. However this film does keep you wondering, it has tension and makes you feel you are in that box as well. It's as good as it can be really, and shows Ryan Reynolds is an underrated actor. He can do much more than goofy comedies or the usual action flick.
Lumos (380 KP) rated King of New York in Tabletop Games

This game is not as good as King of Tokyo. I feel like the directions for New York assume that you already know how to play and leave a bunch of information out. There are a lot of pieces to this game and a lot that goes into playing it. Maybe if I played Tokyo a lot, I would be more comfortable with the playing of this game.

When I read the description I was heartbroken. The love story between Chandler and Faith was perfect! But, I know life changes and so do we, so I wanted to see what happened. Mitchell again does a flawless job with well developed characters and creating emotions that, as a reader, I could feel. It is easy to get immersed in these books. Also, good to remember that everything changes.
