SumkindaHippie (4 KP) rated Life (2017) in Movies
Jun 27, 2017
A good romp with some tense atmospherics.
A great premise with some stunning CGI. Some of the scenes feel a bit forced as they have borrowed alot from other xenomorph/horror films.
Ryan Reynolds plays Ryan Reynolds with his quirky and snappy sarcasm carrying through.
Jake Gylenhall was a favourite of mine as he generally brings another character to the table.
All in all a enjoyable flick with lashings of aliens and enough tension to keep you interested.

Good cast (2 more)
Quite funny
Something different from most Horror films
Cool original Horror film
A decent twist to the old creepy cabin in the woods genre. It led to an unusual feel to the film though, it wasn't like watching a slasher film as you know something else is going on behind the scenes. It has a fair bit of dark humour to it as well. The twist does make for a more interesting film, so at least it tried something different.

A good origin story
This is another Marvel comic origin story, so yes it's fairly predictable. However for me it's one of the better Marvel films I've seen in recent years. Due to its mind and universe bending nature, it has a completely different feel to the other super hero films. Benedict Cumberbatch is a great addition to the Marvel line-up, however his accent does get pretty dodgy at times. It's intriguing, funny and the special effects are fantastic.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Jane Eyre (2011) in Movies
Feb 2, 2019
This film made me actually like Jane Eyre. Basically, the book Jane Eyre is the bane of my existence, and I've done numerous boring reports on it. BUT, I figured I'd give this adaptation a try, since I love both Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska.
The film was actually engaging and interesting, and I can watch it over and over again. I feel as though it's a good adaptation, and, if it got me to actually like the story, it did it's job.

Scott McGuinness (6 KP) rated Suicide Squad (2016) in Movies
May 3, 2019
Absolutely nailed the whole feel of the suicide squad and adding Jared Leto's Joker on the side, put the final cherry on the cake. The only let down for DC, was casting Ben Affleck as Batman, though we are saved the torture of his presence, as his appearance in this movie is relatively small. It's not often DC make a good live action movie, but this one does hold the ranks.
Purrsistently (46 KP) rated Shadow Child in Books
Jun 21, 2018
Objectively, I feel the book deserves 4 stars, but gr ratings are supposed to be based on your enjoyment, which was a 1 or 2 for me.
I’ve read other books featuring mental illness, the aftermath of atomic bombs, self harm, abuse. I don’t know why I felt so repulsed by this one, but I did. It isn’t a bad book-it’s very good actually, but I hated it.
This was an ARC I received in a giveaway. (Not via goodreads)

I loved this show, watched it since day one, always trying to guess who A was, always getting it wrong ha! Loved the characters and their story lines the last few seasons got really good and more ‘darker’ and then we found out who A really was and I’m not sure I enjoyed the ending I feel like more could have been done, that or I’m just in denial that’s the end haha
Ross (3284 KP) rated Tres Hombres by ZZ Top in Music
May 1, 2020
Rolling Stone's 490th greatest album of all time
I was expecting this to be the long-bearded gimmicky hard rock funsters, however I quite enjoyed this. It reminded me of Clutch, a fantastic band, with a real blues/bluegrass feel. In actual fact, Clutch had covered Precious and Grace as part of their Weathermaker Vaults series. And the vocals on La Grange has clearly influence Tim Sult's style.
A good mix of blues and hard rock and fair above my expectations.

Dean (6927 KP) rated You've Got Mail (1998) in Movies
Jun 15, 2020 (Updated Jun 15, 2020)
A very good Rom-com re-uniting Tom & Meg again. They have done a few films together now including the similar Sleepless in Seattle. They have a great chemistry together on screen. This is well written and directed and quite funny too, without being too mushy. A kind of will they, won't feel to it, funny to see this was made when online chatrooms were just becoming quite popular. Worth seeing even if you avoid Rom-coms like your in-laws!
