Strange
Found this one on Netflix. Strange movie with Scarlett Johanson playing a woman who likes men to a place where their bodies are consumed by a strange black goo. She starts to realize there's something different about herself and goes on a trip to figure it out. Quite a bit of nudity(full frontal- metal and female) so I wouldn't say it's something for the kids. The acting was pretty decent and everything else was adequate. The story unfolds a little slowly but if you're into sci-fi it'll keep your attention. Worth a watch.

A cracking good book. I'm not one for autobiographies much but I needed a break from my usual genre and <i>How To be Champion </i> was the perfect book to choose. It was funny, witty and full of no fucks.
I found myself laughing so much during the read of this book and I thought Sarah's ability to take the piss out of herself while not giving a rats arse was brilliant. We need more people who can do that - people who are so unbothered by other people's opinions.
Hats off to you Sarah. Champion book.

Found this one on Netflix. It stars Ryan Reynolds, Scott Speedman and Rosario Dawson. It's a movie about a couple whose daughter is kidnapped by a group of people who like to watch children online being abused. The game her for 8yrs and use her to lure other children online to meet them. This movie is an excellent crime drama. They don't show anything graphic but there's mild violence and cursing. I would say kids could watch this to see the dangers of meeting strangers on line. All around the acting, cinematography and storyline are great. This one is really worth a watch!
Allie (4 KP) rated Pandora Music in Apps
Aug 13, 2018
I used to love Pandora but then I started having a lot of problems with it. I love a lot of artists so I had a lot of stations and I found sometimes going through my stations that some of my stations wouldn't be there anymore. It kept doing this no matter how many times I tried to fix it so that's when I got tired of it and just switched back to Spotify.

While the book had a good plot and kept you guessing as to who done it, I found the chapters a bit choppy. There didn't seem to be a transition from one scene to another, which made me have to re-read sections to see if I missed a page somewhere. There were also a lot of characters to try to follow and no real introduction to them. This is the first book in the series and I am told that they get better, so I am willing to read the second in the series as the first one wasn't totally bad.
The Craggus (360 KP) rated The Equalizer 2 (2018) in Movies

The Equalizer 2 (2018) may take some odd turns but evens out into a solid vigilante thriller. #Review
I’m enough of a fan of the original TV show “The Equalizer” to wish Antoine Fuqua had found a way to incorporate Stewart Copeland’s superb synth-driven theme tune into this modern reinterpretation. But my favourite part of the TV series was always the helping out of ‘the little guy’ rather than the bigger, over-arching spycraft arcs. It’s in this area that “The Equalizer 2” unexpectedly delights even as it leads to a slightly meandering story on screen... FULL REVIEW: http://bit.ly/CraggusEqualizer2
Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated Sexual Decisions: The Ultimate Teen Guide in Books
Aug 21, 2018
Thank you Kris for sending me over this amazing book.
This is for everyone that has teens in their families. This is for every teen, and for every adult. There have been so many things that I found out about this book, that I didn't know before.
Very helpful into forming a nice adult from a child, and very open-minded.
I loved this book, and I believe that every teen should read it, so they can become more confident about themselves, and start to believe in themselves, and make decisions about their body on their own.

Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated The Laughing Corpse (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #2) in Books
Sep 2, 2018
A real page turner. I found it hard to put down and was reading it every time I had a little break. Although, there are a lot of repeats in description, actions, and even dialogue from the first book (I grew a little tired of the repeated telling of "sweat running down her spine", or the "Anita nodded but realized so and so couldn't see and then spoke") but it was still enjoyable. I was a little disappointed that Jean-Claude didn't make as much of an appearance in this story but hoping for more in the next one.

Not very good
Contains spoilers, click to show
This movie uses the fact that it is intended for a younger audience to ignore major plot holes and problems. The teenage characters make some very questionable decisions in the movie, and are rewarded for it in the end. The "bad" kids in the movie don't face any consequences for leaving another teenager injured and stranded in the desert. While the "good"kid steal money from an ATM, but thats apparently okay because the robot dog hacked it. That's just the start of the problems I found in this movie, but maybe a kid would enjoy it.
Flynn (6 KP) rated The Good That Men Do (Star Trek: Enterprise #11) in Books

I quite hated the ending of Enterprise. Trip was one of my favorite characters, and his sudden death under odd circumstances annoyed me. I'm so grateful to have found this book, bring Trip back for me. Though I don't like his new life of secrecy, he is at least still alive. I liked the exploration in the bonds between Trip and T'pol, and Shran and Jhamel, and the overall history cover up of Trip's death that Nog and Jake discovered. It did reminisce "These are the voyages..." a bit with Jake and Nog, but I thought it was a clever transition.
