MissCagey (2652 KP) rated The Monuments Men (2014) in Movies
Jul 25, 2018
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 (17789 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'
StrangeJuice (0 KP) rated My Brother, My Brother And Me in Podcasts
Nov 17, 2018
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 casting (1 more)
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.
Kate (355 KP) rated Spotify Music in Apps
Jan 7, 2019
My husband strangely got me into this app and he hates social media and any apps, but it is brilliant for listening to music, there are ads if you don't pay for the premium service but that doesn't actually bother me. It will give you suggestions to listen to or you can choose your own, have found some new music to listen too whilst doing chores.

Jan 28, 2019
If you've ever seent he quiz show QI, you pretty much know what to expect: lot's of well known 'facts' that are shown to be wrong, usually due to semantics.
This is a collection of such articles from the show, interspersed by 'comic' quotations from the participants - quotations which, for the most part, I found to be painfully unfunny. Maybe I just don't get the humour shown ... ?
