Chrissie-ann (78 KP) rated Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) in Movies
Jun 19, 2018
Real
I hadn't heard of this film when my partner suggested watching it, I read about it and liked the idea but wasn't sure if I would enjoy it. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the humour which kept the film light hearted while still touching on some raw subjects. I enjoyed watching the characters develop and the relationships change throughout the film. There were some shocking moments but I enjoyed the film as a whole. The acting was outstanding from all involved, I couldn't fault it whatsoever. I'm really glad I watched thks film.

Hysterical!
This podcast, which is quickly gaining notoriety for it's humour, didn't fail to disappoint me.
The 'book' in question - Belinda Blinks - is entirely secondary to the bland narration by the son, and his friends comments throughout.
I popped headphones on and listened on public transport- it quickly became apparent this wasn't a good idea as I kept suddenly laughing.
If you aren't easily offended, and the clue is quite firmly in the title, then give it a go for a little light hearted fun. If nothing else, you will come away with a sense of relief he's not your father!

Johnny Depp's voice acting (2 more)
The animation
Great humour and set pieces
Depp-Tastic
In a nut shell, Depp voices a Lizard who calls himself Rango, when fate strands him in the middle of nowhere.
Before long he uses his anonymity to his advantage, to ingratiate himself with the residents of a troubled town...
Depp is fantastic in this role, which is clearly written for him.
There are plenty of jokes and well crafted action scenes as well as a superbly realized villain.
If you enjoy well written animations, then this is for you.
It appeals to all ages and is heaps of fun.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in Books

This is hands down my favourite Harry Potter book!!
Everything I loved from the first two books continues in this book, the themes of friendship, good and evil and of course the humour.
In this book Harry, Ron and Hermione get up to more mischief, embark on new adventures and even begin new lessons.
One of the great things about this book, is the slight variation in story line. Instead of battling Lord Voldemort at the end of the school year there is a different enemy to defeat.
Obviously fully recommend this book as everyone should read Harry Potter.

If you have a long journey, download a selection of these and you are set to travel. There are a wide selection of bizarre, interesting, silly and practical questions, with enough humour and information to keep you occupied for your trip.
Sometimes they do laugh a little too much at their own remarks but as the show is so entertaining, this isn't too much of a problem and you just find yourself thinking "oh shut up" rather than getting annoyed with it...

Great production (1 more)
Jodie Comer
Darkly funny thriller
A truly binge worthy show. I got through the 8 episodes in just a few sessions. A mix of cat and mouse spy thriller as a Mi6 agent tracks a female assassin. It has plenty of often dark humour to go with it. The first few episodes made me think of the Hitman 47 game as the assassin goes to great lengths to make their hit. It slows down a bit for the last couple of episodes and the storyline became a little bit odd. Overall though it's a very enjoyable, classy series.
Roxanne (13 KP) rated The Ladybird Book of Dating in Books
Nov 9, 2018
❃❃❃❃❃ <b>5 Hilarious Stars</b>
Due to my lack of participation in the dating world, my father decided to purchase this book for me to give me some pointers. Now THIS was hilarious!
Done in the style of the all popular 'LadyBird Book Of' series complete with the traditional artwork and a dash of British humour this is definitely one to pick up. It goes through what you should expect from dating in this day and age in a very honest manner, which is just perfect. It's in your face, it's raw and it's guaranteed to give you a giggle.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated The Lost Days (Emily the Strange Novels, #1) in Books
Nov 14, 2018
As a lover of the Gothic subculture and a fan of Emily the Strange merchandise I thought this book would be right up my street and I was very much looking forward to reading this. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed...I became very bored of the repetition and believe the book could have been so much shorter, at least a 100 pages shorter in my opinion. I did, however, enjoy the artwork and Emily's dry, dark sense of humour was amusing in places (this is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1) but apart from that this book just wasn't for me.
Ross (3284 KP) rated Game Night (2018) in Movies
Nov 19, 2018
Funny, surprising comedy
I wasn't expecting much from this film, probably just 90 minutes of spousal competitiveness and awkward banter between friends. I was pleasantly surprised to find it had a story (quite a complex one for a comedy) and a few proper laugh out loud moments. Far from focusing on the game night instead, that is used more of a background and a link to some of the odder characters involved.
The chemistry between Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams is top-notch and enables most of the humour.
A strong recommendation for a decent funny film with a decent plot.

Well I have always had a soft spot for Terry Pratchett book and his stories about the discworld transport you to this amazing place.
He has a dark sense of humour that you can see throughout his books.
Wyrd sisters is one of my favourites of his Books. This is the first in a series of his books about three witches. It's funny right from the start and the complexity of his characters always amaze me.
If you like a book with good characters, funny jokes and a touch of magic then this is the books for you.
