Joe Goodhart (27 KP) rated The Abyssal Plain: The R'lyeh Cycle in Books
Nov 30, 2020
An absolute piece of SHIT! A raging dumpster fire! The material bears no resemblance to anything Lovecratian or Mythos-related! This author just threw an excessive amount of unwarranted of profanity as well as infidelity and a slew of other unneeded plot devices! Seriously? Avoid this one like f'n COVID-19! You want a modern twist on Cthulhu Mythos? Read Darrell Schweitzer's CTHULHU'S REIGN! At least the writers of the stories in that collection know how to write!
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Tempting Evil (Riley Jenson Guardian, #3) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
Coming into a series three books in was not a good idea, I had no background info about her brother or her lovers or the guardians. I was just suddenly knee deep in a story that I was enjoying up until about the 150 page mark when she was suddenly having sex with almost everyone and I felt like I'd missed something (which since it's the third book, I obviously had). Therefore i'm giving it three stars.

Disappointing
I always enjoyed the Addams family, from the original TV series to the 2 live action films, I was hoping for more from this animation, it had a great cast, even the look and feel of it seemed right. However the finished film is terrible in my opinion, its a terrible story that feels very disjointed, I didnt like the way characters acted and I felt this was just a recycled predictable story

ARC That drew me in from start to finish
Mister North has delivered once again! Just as expected, he took me on a grim adventure with many twists and turns. You can never quite figure out where it's going next and never see the final plot twist coming. I also loved the little reference to Whisper man, I like a good easter egg. I can not wait for Alex North's next book. I devour them from cover to cover.

Second time watching this film. I didn't dislike it as much as the first time I watched it, but I just can't help feeling so uncompelled by this story. And don't even get me started on the songs. There are like two memorable songs in this movie and those are the only two I really enjoy. Visuals are nice in this but it's obvious that Disney wanted to shovel this out since it was their last 2D film.

2 is probably still too generous...
I feel like I'm being very generous giving this film a 2, but this was absolutely awful.
Bad casting, bad acting, bad script,bad plot, just bad everything. Tom Cruise was atrocious, and some of the humour in this was cringingly painful. I can see what they're trying to do with this by linking it into the wider monsters universe, but it just doesn't work.
The Mummy (1999) was a fantastic film, full of cheesy fun and humour. They've obviously tried to replicate that here but have failed miserably. If you want to watch a mummy film, don't choose this one!

Vegemite Girl (284 KP) rated The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn in Books
May 23, 2019
I didn't Love this book but I certainly didn't hate it either. I understand why it got the hype it did, the writing is great, once I started the book I didn't want to put it down, it had twists and turns throughout but I just didn't find myself loving it as much as I thought and in parts I felt that it kind of drawled on a little. The story premise itself was great and the layout of the story was just right, I feel like the little breaks in Evelyn's story really helped as her story is a lot to take in!
BobbiesDustyPages (1259 KP) rated Little Shop of Horrors (1986) in Movies
Feb 8, 2018
I dare you not to sing along
Little Shop of Horrors is one of those movies that if I find out you don't like it I'll never trust you to recommend movies to me again.... just kidding... but not really.
This movie has everything you could ever want
Catchy Music
Amazing Cast
Memorable Characters
Audrey II
and it's just campy enough to make you laugh without being ridiculous.
And if you haven't seen it I definitely recommend watching the Alternate ending which I really wish would have been the original ending from the start because it is 100x better which I didn't even think was possible.

Lumos (380 KP) rated Evolution: The Beginning in Tabletop Games
Mar 30, 2018
I like the theme of this game. My friends and AI always go with a theme, so one might be safari animals, insects, water creatures. The hardest part is remembering what creature is what.. did you just destroy my burrowing, flying, long-necked elephants? I suppose you don't have to name the species you are creating. But we find that it adds more fun. I have played this in my classroom with my 5th grade students when learning about evolution. It was helpful for them to understand how certain species survive over others and how some adaptations stick where others just don't cut the genetic code.
Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Loved by the Pack (The Wolfpack Trilogy, #3) in Books
Jul 12, 2018
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
I have to say, this final book of the Wolfpack Trilogy really wasn't my style. I enjoyed the story and the plot but I just got disgusted with the sex scenes. Honestly, whenever the sex scenes started my face would just get a permanent "ew" look. <spoiler> Beastiality, knotting, and almost wolf rape etc... </spoiler>
I really did like the premise of the book. The plot was semi unique and there were some things in the book that I wasn't able to predict which was refreshing.
Ultimately, the series was interesting but definitely not my favorite.
