Odd ball hero film
It starts out pretty well but I think it lost its way about half way through. It's an ok mix of action, comedy but sometimes tries to be too serious and other times too funny! There is far too much cgi for me and despite the budget not all of it looks that good. By the time you get to the last 15mins it just didn't feel like the right ending for the film? A mix of the Mask with Superman, odd combo!

The End Scene Is Not As Good As The Start
Not The Strongest In The Disney List
This is still a great film as there are only 1 in 100000 Disney films that miss the mark, but i just didnt really enjoy this as much.
At times the story felt like it struggled and didnt run too well, the start is so good but after about 3/4 through it starts to drag and looses its magic

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The King's Deception (Cotton Malone, #8) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
As usual Steve Berry does not disappoint!! Cotton Malone is one of my very favorite fictional characters & just like the man who thought him up, he never lets the reader down either.
This installment deals with Henry VIII & a supposed secret he passed on while on his deathbed, a secret that if proven true could decimate the English monarchy as we know it. Along with plunging them back into a bloody battle over Northern Ireland. Elizabeth I a man? How could you not be intrigued!?

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Read On...Historical Fiction: Reading Lists for Every Taste in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Is there anything better than a book about books? :D Very handy little book, especially if you're a novice to the historical fiction genre and aren't quite sure where you'd like to travel next. How the author categorized books was very helpful and inventive too. Altogether it may not be the most comprehensive guide to historical fiction, but it's a darned good place to start your journey in the field or just to decide what's next. Is it weird that I read it cover to cover? ;P
Cumberland (1142 KP) rated 21 Proms in Books

A Mixed Bag
This book contains 21 stories by 21 different authors. All of these stories center around Prom. This book was hard for me to review, because of how different each story is. Some of them were truly wonderful, however I think the vast majority of them were forgettable. I personally like character driven stories, and character development just isn't something that you see in a lot of short stories. Overall I don't regret reading this, but I probably won't pick it up again.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2466 KP) rated Murder in Vein (A Madison Rose Vampire Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Madison Rose is kidnapped and is about to be killed until she is rescued - by vampires. And they want to use her to try to solve a series of murders that threaten their secret existence. Can she even trust them? I enjoyed the book and really grew to like the characters. Some of the scenes were just too dark for me, however.

ashezbookz (32 KP) rated Stalking Jack the Ripper in Books
Jul 5, 2018
I did not enjoy this book - it was a struggle .. 2 stars for just being a book and one that remotely had a plot and the blood and descriptions and photos were cool. The rest of it was NOT FUN and I DID NOT enjoy it.
It started off interesting, I thought it'd be cool, but it progressed slow like a snail and I wanted to sleep through it. It did not get exciting and I will definitely not be continuing this series - shame.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Love and Other Drugs (2010) in Movies
Jul 7, 2018
It wasn't quite the film I was expecting, thinking it would be just like most rom-coms churned out at the moment that are light hearted but have little depth. This does have more in-depth characters, the main star being Anne Hathaway's Maggie who at 26 has Parkinson's disease. It does have a few laughs along the way at the more light hearted moments. If you want a sexy, fun comedy with a bit more depth to the characters, this is prefect for you!
Sarah (126 KP) rated The Vanishing (1993) in Movies
Jul 28, 2018
I've seen this film twice and it's one of those that has stuck with me.
It's not really a cast I would put together; having Sandra Bullock and Kiefer Sutherland as a couple just doesn't sit right with me, but it works in the overall setting of the film. Jeff Bridges is very good in the role of the manipulative murderer, and there is a lot of suspense throughout the film.
Very enjoyable if you like something to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Snore factor 5
I really enjoyed the first Wreck it Ralph, and the idea of video game characters going online was pretty cool. However it felt like forever to get anywhere in the plot. I made it to the halfway point before passing out man baby style again. My son again enjoyed the film. I am looking for films that grab the youths attention and the adults and as much as I wanted it to be there it simply was not.
