Movie Rating Watch

I'm not one to hand out a 10 rating, but I loved this film, and can't wait to see it again.
First: This was not obnoxious Deadpool Ryan Reynolds (sorry not sorry), this was peak Ryan Reynolds from 2005 (Waiting/Just Friends), AKA, the best Ryan Reynolds.
I feel like this movie was made largely for the people that grew up with the OG Pokemon. There were several references back to Pokemon: The Movie with the introduction of Mew 2. It all seriously made me smile. It was fairly easy to figure out what exactly was going on, this is technically a kids movie, but I enjoyed the entire ride. I loved the entire world that was built, and I'm completely ready for sequels.

The main character, Tim, played by Justice Smith, was hugely likeable and entertaining. I'm assuming Ryme City was in Japan, and since there's only one Japanese actor in the entire world, Ken Watanabe makes an appearance as Lt Yoshida from the Police Department.

I fricken loved this movie.

@Sarah I hope you like it! It actually made me laugh out loud in the theater which is very rare for me.
@Andy K Definitely check it out!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2204 KP) rated Sayonara Slam (Mas Arai #6) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The World Baseball Classic has come to Dodger Stadium, and Mas Arai is excited about the upcoming match between Japan and Korea. He’s on hand early and witnesses a reporter drop dead at a press conference. Mas has no desire to get involved in the investigation until a friend’s grandson hires him as a driver and interpreter. What will they uncover?

I haven’t read most of the books in this series, but I’ve been wanting to return to it for a while now. The characters are good, although I think I missed some of the character development since I’m not super familiar with them. Some sub-plots bogged down the plot a bit early on, but as the book continued, the mystery got stronger. I learned a bit about World War II history along the way to the logical climax.

NOTE: I was sent an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Furistas Cat Cafe

This is a very simple game that consists in taking care of a cafe that is cat friendly. It was inspired by a coffee shop in japan where customers go to cuddle cats while drinking tea or coffee.
In the game, you simply match a Cat with a customer, that will give you hearts (with the hearts you can level up your cats), you do Batista missions (clean a dirty floor, give customers food and drinks, or give a Cat attention) that will give you coins, you only have 3 missions per day. You also have events that will give you special baskets (where money, hearts and other things to help you level up come from) or special furniture for you to decorate your room. Every time you level up you’ll receive a new cat as well!
It’s a very simple relaxing game.
