Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2486 KP) rated M Is for Mama's Boy (NERDS, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The NERDS team is back and on the trail of a bank robber using squirrels as his accomplishes. Is it an old friend turned villain? This Bond spoof for kids is a very funny ride that I completely loved. Definitely consider it for kids in life, but read it yourself first. You'll love it, too.

I love claymation/stop motion, and I'm definitely a Wallace and Gromit fan, so I was excited to see this. The animation was good, and the plot was entertaining. Though, I'm not sure exactly how this will go over with US audiences, because there were a lot of jokes that wouldn't have seemed funny if one wasn't familiar with football/Premier League. Tom Hiddleston's French accent was completely hilarious, and one of the best parts, next to Hobnob.

Landmark film
A landmark film for Hollywood that has a great significance for the industry.
To the film and I did worry it might not quite live up to the hype. Thankfully I can say it is a very good film for many reasons. It has some great action scenes, Sfx, for the suit especially. Also featuring a strong complex villain and with some funny moments. One of the better stand alone character films from the MCU.

Instead of doing a review for every season I'm just going to review this series as a whole. I loved it. It was funny. It had action. It was easy to to get sucked into the Hamptons life. I'm a big binge watcher of Netflix, so this is literally one of the last big series I haven't watched yet and it was awesome. If you love medicine, drama, mystery, or romance, I promise you will love this show!!!

So this was the first self help book I've read and honestly it was amazing! It wasn't the typical wishy washy stuff i think people expect from these genres it was funny very inspiring and in some areas brutally honest! She explains many areas in such a way that it is relatable to everyone without it being to vague which i also like! Would definitely recommend this book especially if your getting into the whole self help idea.
Victoria Pierco (2 KP) rated Kermode and Mayo's Film Review in Podcasts
Jun 30, 2018
The fact that Kermode and Mayo have been working together for years clearly shows, and the chemistry between them produces some natural-feeling, funny banter and plenty of in-jokes.
Kermode gives fair reviews, not being patronising about children's films and admitting when he has wrongly assumed a film will be bad.
Due to circumstances I am not a regular cinema-goer, but I listen regularly to the Wittertainment podcast just for the chuckles it gives.

What you need is some motivation mixed in with some funny stories for good measure!
Enter the amazing, hilarious and wonderful Amy Poehler!!!!

Ross (3284 KP) rated Parks and Recreation - Season 2 in TV
Jul 26, 2018
A much longer series of half-hour episodes following the Parks dept's daily struggles with and against the public. The pit and park development that took centre stage in the first series is just a footnote here, as each episode is more of a self-contained story. While for me it isn't laugh-out-loud funny, the quirky comedy and occasional slapstick moments is first class. Moments that feel quite ad-libbed add to the comedy.

Funny, Silly and Enjoyable
This is a laugh-out-loud film, with lots of slapstick, physical comedy, toilet humour and silly jokes.
There's nothing high-brow or thought-provoking about Men in Black, but the contrast of Will Smith's relaxed persona with Tommy Lee-Jones's straight-laced, deadpan character makes for a great partnership.
Men in Black doesn't try to be something it isn't; it's just a fun movie with some heartwarming moments and lots of laughs.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated The Tiny Curse (Werewolf High book 2) in Books
Sep 3, 2018
I enjoyed this book more than the second as we got to know the characters a bit more. In particular ‘the golden’ as Lucy finds herself in trouble yet again and needing the help of her reluctant new friends.
I found the antics in this book pretty funny, especially Nikolai and his hat.
However I did still find the overall story to be very slow, with not much progression towards the big questions within the book.
