BookwormLea (3034 KP) rated I'm a Therapist and my Patient is Going to be the Next School Shooter in Books
Jan 3, 2021
I can't get over how much this book drew me in. I love movies where I can guess whats happening, makes me feel smart. Well I tried to do that reading this book and it kept fooling me! I had theory's the whole time but they were all wrong. Minus a couple about what was wrong with them. Its not as horroresque as I expected it to be which as much as I would have enjoyed, it doesn't need it because it works amazing as a seemingly real series of events! I have all 3 books so I'm onto book 2 immediately so I can find out who wants to help Elliot escape. And if that gross cult gets taken down!
Often Off Topic (37 KP) rated Over The Moon (2020) in Movies
Nov 11, 2020
If you thought only Disney Pixar can make animated musicals with the power to make you cry as hard as you laugh, then think again. Netflix is here to surprise you! I've always loved animated movies but avoided Over the Moon when it was released last month because I heard it was all about how a young girl deals with grief and ugh, can anyone in 2020 handle their emotions? Because I sure can't. I couldn't stay away forever though and I'm so glad I finally gave it a try. This is such a beautiful movie from its storytelling to its visuals. If this isn't an Oscar contender I will RIOT.

Liberty Boston (93 KP) rated Draculaura and the New Stepmomster (Monster High Diaries, #1) in Books
Mar 15, 2021
I bought the five book box set from eBay but I plan to review the books individually because that makes the most sense.
To be honest, before this book I wasn't aware Draculaura had a step-mom. I don't believe she's ever mentioned outside this book.
I liked this story. The diaries all follow the same format (used by their later EAH counterparts) Diary entry followed by a third-person chapter and repeat. In the book, Dracula's getting married and the ghouls are visiting Translvaina for the wedding. I give the book MAJOR brownie points because it canonically takes place after Frights Camera Action one of my favorite MH movies. Of course, Draculaura is my favorite character so that helps too.
Overall an enjoyable read.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) in Movies

Pretty much every line in Walk Hard is a lampoon of some sort, and quite wonderfully, it all lands! The script is equal parts immature, absurd, and witty, every cast member is just all in, and then there's the songs.
The music in this movie is fantastic - they are well written, and are incredibly funny in their parodies. I will quite happily stick the soundtrack on from time to time.
Biopics, especially music based ones, can be a risky game. They can be amazing cinema, but they always teeter on the edge of unintentional hilarity, and Walk Hard just fucking tears the walls down and savages what these type movies try to be and what they end up being. Its glorious.
