Erika (17788 KP) rated Fyre Fraud (2019) in Movies
Feb 13, 2019
I watched this documentary second, in my makeshift Fyre-Festival-Flu watch. This documentary actually interviewed the skeezy dude that thought up the whole mess, and tried to maybe humanize him. Dude is straight up skeezy and not remorseful.
This approached it from more of a financial-fraud aspect, which is what I deal with every day, so I find it interested. It also had some of these ridiculous 'influencers' interviewed as well, and sorry, I still find it hard to have sympathy.
I did like this documentary a little better than the Netflix one, but they both ended up pretty good. Again, I hope the d-bag wasn't paid at all.

Frecklesxoxo (6 KP) rated Weregirl in Books

I received an Arc Copy for an open and honest review.
I loved this book, I am a huge supernatural fan.... My favourite type.....werewolves and this did not disappoint. It kept me intrigued, it kept me in suspense and wanting more!
I love Nate and the kids of Tether and the unique situation they are in and also I love how Nessa evolves and matures right before your eyes.
Also the way the Wolf family was written really made you think you were they, playing with pups and singing with them and gives you a little sneak peak into the wolves pack dynamics.
Just could not get enough of this book and really hope there is a sequel :)

Auburn (57 KP) rated A Date with Darcy (Bookish Boyfriends, #1) in Books

Bookish boyfriend's is a book for any starry eyed reader. Let's be honest at some point in time every reader has thought "boys(or girls) are better in books". Or found ourselves imagining what it would be like to be the other person in the book getting a relationship with said amazing character. Well this book brings it to life.
Merri gets to live her dream of book boyfriend's and finds out maybe we need to look deeper than just a first glance/dream idea.
I absolutely adored this book, the character, the references, and that it wasn't just cut and dry predictable. I sincerely hope the author gives us a glimpse into another characters story in the future!

Fred (860 KP) rated Alita: Battle Angel (2019) in Movies

Love it
Based on the manga "Gunnm", Alita: Battle Angel tells the story of a female cyborg. It takes place against a beautiful cyberpunk world called Iron City. It truly is a sight to see. But the true sight is Alita herself. She's beautifully animated & played excellently by Rosa Salazar. Chirstoph Walz was Christoph Walz. Actually, everyone was pretty good. The effects are phenomenal. The story is good as well, although there was no need for the love-story at all. It didn't move the story at all. I do hope there is a sequel made. Seeing this also makes me hopeful for a live-action version of Bubblegum Crisis in the future.
Book Divas (227 KP) rated The Witch of Willow Hall in Books
Jun 7, 2019
A Surprising Gem
I can honestly say that this book surprised me. When I first started reading it, I felt somewhat bored and thought I wouldn't finish it. I am glad that I put it down and came back to it later in the day because once I started reading it again I couldn't put it down. The storyline flows ever so smoothly and the characters are beautiful though I must say that Catherine left a bad taste in my mouth. In reading this I was left with the desire to roam freely within Willow Hall and the grounds. I grew rather fond of Lydia and John and I hope that the author will continue their story.
Dean (6925 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 (2010) in Movies
Mar 9, 2018
A good film, well made and with good actors. I've not read the books to be honest but have seen all the films. This one does really feel like half a film....all slow pace, moody and brooding for what is too come in the finale. It is dark and menacing and a lot more grown up than the other films, some will prefer this others won't. For me this was just average, I prefer the action, Hogwarts, the humour and creatures of the other films. This is largely the 3 main characters on the run and hiding with very little action. Let's hope the final film doesn't lose the Potter magic!
Another Potter
Harry Potter. The small boy with the lightning-shaped scar and the broken glasses made my childhood days magical and filled with hope that someday my letter to Hogwarts would come.
Alas my dream never came true, although every time there is post I secretly pray there is a piece of parchment sent to me by the wizarding school, apologising for it being late (11 years late!) that there was a clerical error made by one of the owls but if I would accept they would love to have me at Hogwarts.
Naturally, I would not say yes the first time...I do love being chased!

Camellia is a beautiful model whose life is not her own. She does everything that her parent’s want including paying all of their bills. At a photo shoot, she meets a handsome pastor and an abused homeless teenager. Through them, Camellia finds a purpose in life and a backbone to finally do what makes her happy.
Camellia develops through faith, prayer, and the support of other women to have a deeper relationship with God and to finally find happiness. This book is filled with hope, a little romance, a little mystery, and a greater understanding of church and faith.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Tracy (238 KP) rated Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Vol 1: The Crucible in Books
Aug 15, 2018 (Updated Aug 15, 2018)
The over the top Satanic Witch storyline (3 more)
Great plot!
I really liked the art
I have several issues with it (see below) and I still love it too much to give it less than 10 bombs
It needed some spell checking. Several errors in the writing. (3 more)
The Witches (especially Sabrina’s Aunts) lack substance. I hope that will change as the series develops.
These ideas of Satanic Witches being cannibals and murderers and Satan being conjured in the woods is fun at first, but it seems so irresponsible to revert back to the ideas that created Satanic Panic.
The aunts are cannibals. Fine I guess, but why?
It’s like EC Comics had a baby with the Archie Universe
Vicki Sloan (6 KP) rated War of the Worlds by Jeff Wayne in Music
Dec 4, 2018
A Real Piece of Art
Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds is an enduring classic, with stunning storytelling lyrics & drama building music aplenty. From the first bars I was hooked from first listen.
This takes the story to a new level, with a narration from the velvety voice of Richard Burton - it transports you from the fear of the unknown, to the depths of terror and finishes with hope and the sheer resilience of the human spirit. Great as a whole and some real stand out pieces, Forever Autumn being a hit in it’s own right & The Eve of the War being the ring tone choice of many (including me). Just unmissable.
