Chrissie-ann (78 KP) rated The Ritual (2017) in Movies
Jul 16, 2018
I kind of guessed the way this film would go by way of the title, but I was pleasantly surprised. I found myself hooked from the beginning and unsure about what was happening and why. I thought the cast were strong and felt the emotions coming from them. There isn't too much explanation about the situation which draws away from the actual story and tension builds throughout.

Fascinating
I found this series on Amazon. It's a collection of stories about real historical incidents that took place that sparked the life of some of mankind's legends and myths. Very interesting and thought provoking look into our past as humans and how things(like science and beliefs) have changed over the centuries. With a watch if you are into documentaries told with actors, animation and art!

I can't say this is the most exciting film, I think there could have been more action, but it is based on a true story and the cast is decent. A bit confusing at times as the men are split into couples which go off separately to explore but nevertheless I was unaware of the real "Monuments Men" and found the story to be interesting.
Erika (17788 KP) rated Hotel Artemis (2018) in Movies
Jun 30, 2018
The premise of this movie was great, but, it was just a muddled mess. The Hotel Artemis is a Continental-like place, as seen in John Wick. It didn't really work at all. The only character I found mildly interesting was Sofia Boutella's character. This could have been so good, but it seriously dropped the ball. No wonder it did so poorly at the box office.

Oh what a twist! Fabulous book.
I loved the characters and how everything fit together nicely. There was the right balance of humour and drama, the right balance of dialogue versus descriptive prose and all round very well written.

Not the best male vocalists
I really like a good number of the songs. Some even better than the original versions. The only things that could have made it better was if the had found male actors that could carry a tune. Lily James and Amanda Seyfried more than make up for their shortcomings though. Overall a good listen.
Twists and turns

What would you do if you found out your dead wife was already married and that it was murder? John Sims plays an excellent part in this gripping series of love, betrayal and mystery. You find yourself trying to discover who did what and find yourself completely wrong. Loved the note at the end 'it was always you'

Hilarious and addictive
These brothers have found the secret sauce of comedy. The informal, friendly feel combined with the minutes long tangents turn this advice podcast into something I look forward to every week. I would have given a score of 10/10, but Griffin thinks that face cat is better than hand dog and just can't award a full score to someone who thinks that.
It is a 3.5-4 star book.
Everless a world where time is money and time is found in blood. This is a great concept and engaging book. A bit slow to start, however, once it gets going it's on. It can get a little redundant from time to time, still worth the read. Also, I never saw that ending coming; things aren't always as they seem.

The storyline
Wierdly intriguing
After all the fuss on social media, I thought it would be worthwile watching. Yet the dissapointment soon set in. The realisation that I wouldn't recieve a scare became a realisation within the first 10 minutes. I found myself watching the film to the end to see if it would go somewhere, but it never did.
