Daniel Boyd (1066 KP) rated DOOM in Video Games
Jul 24, 2017
Big Guns (2 more)
Awesome enemies
Violent executions
An blend of old fashioned fun and the modern FPS
This is definitely one of the best shooters that I’ve played in a long time. The pace is swift and the action is intense, the classic gore and horror elements are present but not too in your face like Doom 3 and the whole thing just drips with badassery. Don’t go in deserving a masterclass in storytelling or you will be disappointed, but if all you want is responsive, fun FPS gameplay and a quick fix of adrenaline then this was made for you.

Absolutely innovative and intriguing listening
Listened to on Audible.co.uk.
Listening to a murder mystery about a murder mystery was as intriguing as listening to a book about a book. A total reinvention of classic Agatha Christie type tale revamped for the modern reader. Is it guessable? One of the mysteries is, but the other solved by fictional PI Atticus Pund was definitely more of a mind bender. It leaves you analysing clues in the same way the narrator tries to do. As an Agatha Christie fan, I was hooked.
Well read and written by the literary genius that is Anthony Horowitz.

A wonderful array of short stories set in India
An intriguing network of short stories set in modern India with a backdrop of traditional culture. The stories have a vague link with one another, usually focusing on one particular character's narrative. And the nature of each story varies from magical realism to politics. While there were some stories I liked more than others, the animal cruelty of one specific tale was a little gratuitous to my liking. And while I know this happens in India it didn't seem to go anywhere. Other than that a well written cyclical novel.
Sara (80 KP) rated Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix in Video Games

Brings classic games to a modern system. (1 more)
Brought final mix to tbe United States.
No way to use the original enemy skins. (2 more)
358/2 is just cutscenes and the journal.
Recoded is just cutscenes and the journal
Love these games!
This is one my favorite game series of all times. It gets an 8 mostly due to the fact that 358/2 is unplayable. Other than that the games were updated to include content previously unavalible in North America. This includes the Data Battles in 2 and extra secret bosses in 1. All in all its a great collection to own.
Lori Forrest (0 KP) rated Netflix in Apps
Apr 21, 2018
Netflix is, of course, a dominant force in entertainment. The original series and movies are awesome. It's great to be able to binge my favorite shows like Friends, and they are uploading shows as soon as they end on air quicker and quicker. The only real downfall is that they don't have agreements with several networks still, so a lot of shows that I love aren't available. I would love to completely cancel cable and every other subscription I have, but I can't until things like Modern Family and Food Network's best can be seen on Netflix.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Rambo (Rambo IV) (2008) in Movies
Apr 7, 2018
This is a very good enjoyable , but simple film, even for a action film the plot couldn't be more straight forward. Yes this is far more violent, bloody and gory than the previous three. Done very realistically as well similar to the scenes on the beach in saving private ryan. A brutal bloody film and entertaining as a modern day action film. Despite his years Stallone's character is believable in this and he doesn't over do any stunts, action unlike some of the other Rambo films. Well worth seeing if you have seen the others or not.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Penelope (2006) in Movies
Apr 8, 2018
I have a lot of favorite movies, often when I describe a movie, if I loved it, I describe it as my favorite. My friend pointed that out a few years ago when I was telling her about this movie, and it made me think.
This movie is legitimately one of my top ten favorite movies.
Penelope is a modern, cute fairy tale about Penelope, who happens to have a pig nose because of a curse.
This movie has a ton of random actors in it: Christina Ricci is the title character. Youngish James McAvoy (<3), Reese Witherspoon, and Peter Dinklage.

David McK (3666 KP) rated Robin Hood (2018) in Movies
Mar 25, 2019
The most recent cinematic take (at the time of writing) of the Robin Hood legend, this is an extremely generic actioner - akin to the recent King Arthur, legend of the sword movie - that attempts to bring the tale to modern audiences.
As such, it touches all the key points - Robin of Locksley, the Crusades, Marian, the sheriff of Nottingham - while also attempting to be more inclusive (John is now a Moor, for example) than that legend.
I'm also not sure about some of the set design or costumes, and Ben Mendehlson (the sheriff) is no Alan Rickman!

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Don't You Forget About Me in Books
Apr 20, 2019
fantastic read
This is the first book I've read by this author and it definitely won't be the last. This story has it all, funny laugh out loud moments, a very real feel and everyday modern issues. The characters were really well written and the story line around them was fantastic. The English slang is really well done and adds humour to the characters. This book will hook you from the first page. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended read
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Rock My Bed (Black Falcon, #2) in Books
May 7, 2019
the second book in the series and follows the tory of one of the characters from the first book. this story starts at the beginning of book one, so you read about the characters from the first book again, which is a little disappointing. but it is a good book, the chemistry surrounding the main characters is intense. in this book you learn more about the backstage and touring that bands go through. the characters have to deal with a long distance relationship, using modern technology to make the relationship work. a good read.
