Movie Rating

Disney tv movie can't remember if it was a wonderful world of Disney or a Disney channel movie based on the tower of terror ride. It is the anniversary of the disappearance of kid actor Sally shine and 4 other people who disappeared when lightning hit the Hollywood tower hotel. Disgraced reporter buzzy played by Steve Guttenberg gets a visitor and decided to go there to take a story with his niece played by Kristen dunst. Is the story true, are there ghosts, evil forces, or nothing but dust in this tower only watching it will you find out. A little cheesy but good Disney fare.

Trixie and her friends take a trip to Missouri, where Trixie finds some stranger papers in her hotel room's garbage can. Soon, someone is following them. What do the symbols on the paper mean?

I'm torn on this one. It was my introduction to the series, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. The fast moving and suspenseful plot captivated the 7th grade me and introduced me to life long friends. However, reading it as an adult, boy to all the characters do some pretty stupid things.

A nice little family game

this is a clever little game, and easy to grasp right away, plus it's just a bag of tiles so it's easy to take with you and play on a picnic table at a campground, or a folding table, or even a hotel lobby coffee table. the tiles don't blow away in the wind which is another big time feature of it. Usually games are hard to travel based on size and complexity of pieces, this one is ready to go... try it and take it with you.

Movie Rating Watch

Well, now I know why this movie was buried and barely showed at any theaters. It was kind of a mess. The aesthetic was very much like Hotel Artemis, which was about the best part of that movie.
Some of this film was easy to guess, and the reveals/twist weren't all that mind blowing. It made it uninteresting for me. The only thing I liked about Margot Robbie in the film was the amazing red coat she wore. The story line that was the most interesting out of the uninteresting was Simon Pegg's character. That was the only thing that kept me watching.

B (62 KP) rated American Horror Story in TV

Sep 30, 2018 (Updated Sep 30, 2018)

I really like the concept for this show and all of the theories and discussions that have been generated online about it but it's just really hit or miss depending on the season. I really did not like Freak Show and I have yet to finish Hotel because it just did not grip me that much. I know that many people didn't like Roanoke but I actually thought that it was one of the better seasons. Based on the trailer alone the current season actually looks very promising. With all of this said, I still believe, as does much of its fanbase, that Murder House is the best. Also, Evan Peters ?

Ross (3284 KP) rated White Blood Cells by The White Stripes in Music

Apr 30, 2020

Rolling Stone's 497th greatest album of all time

The White Stripes' second album was huge when it was released. A stunning breathe of … not fresh air, but musty smoky garage air. Hotel Yorba and Fell in Love with a Girl were massive refreshing anthems. Jack White's powerful grungy over-distorted guitar and perfect shrill voice made each and every song soar, despite the basic drumming underneath it (which really does stand out as being the bare minimum). There are some mediocre songs or just pointless noodling and jamming that could have been left off, but as an album this is a total wallop in the face.
