Lee (2222 KP) rated Aladdin (2019) in Movies
May 27, 2019
Princess Jasmine was amazing, a true Disney Princess with an incredible voice. Will Smith as the genie wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. As for Jafar, well he was completely awful, like some kind of pantomime villain. Overall though, I actually quite enjoyed this latest, almost carbon copy of the animated original, live action Disney remake. Not bad at all, for a Guy Ritchie movie.
Spaceman300 (13 KP) rated Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) in Movies

A Star Wars movie made be the numbers
If you use solo as a drinking game, you would be unconscious or even dead before the end of the movie.
Hal Solo gets.....
His Jacket takes a drink.
The Millennium Falcon take a drink.
And so on
So basically it's full of plot points we already know for the original trilogy and making feel like movie just made by the number.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) in Movies
Feb 10, 2018
I wasn't expecting much after the reviews and knowing some of the main characters from the previous ones were not in it. However I have to say it was pretty decent, still with a strong cast and plenty of the original cast, lots of action and the typical humour from the franchise. It might not be quite up to the level of the first 2 films, but it was still enjoyable.
GirlzRevil (7 KP) rated Armada in Books
Mar 2, 2018
Set in Oregon, but way cooler to visit than Portland
Full story that ends nicely, with a nerd champion who's behavior and perspectives are realistic and attainable. Makes you question modern games in ways Enders Game or similar stories have not. Also, if you do the audiobook, Wil Wheaton narrates, and he's a wonderful narrator.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2532 KP) rated Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs in Books
Mar 9, 2018
This delightful picture book finds shows the dangers of walking into a strange house. What if Goldilocks wandered into a trap instead of the house of the three bears? It's filled with humor that those familiar with the original story will find delightful. I couldn't stop grinning as I read it.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Let Me In (2010) in Movies
Feb 13, 2018 (Updated Feb 13, 2018)
Decent Remake
It's a good story and film, I saw the Swedish version first, so kinda spoils any surprises, as it is a scene for scene re-work. In fact I'd say some of the key scenes were better in the original version. Why they added some dodgy cgi in places is anyones guess? Have to say Chloe Moretz is one to watch for the future, great young actress.

A must watch for Slasher fans
An above average straight to DVD slasher. Surprised could have done ok at the cinema. A creepy looking killer, good location, quite a few familiar faces in the cast including William Sadler! Quite gory in places, the story is original if very far fetched. A mix of 8mm, Scream and Wrong turn. Better than most recent slasher films I've seen.
Andy K (10823 KP) rated Roots in TV
Mar 17, 2018
The modern standard for a TV mini-series. The original Roots was compelling in every way.
The acting and production values were first rate, but the story is what kept you engaged and coming back for more.
The brutality and inhumanity of slavery will never be repeated at this level and all of us should learn the lessons of treating each other with respect and dignity.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Interview with the Vampire: Claudia's Story in Books
Jul 12, 2018
Wow, this was a beautiful graphic novel. I fell in love with the illustration. The sepia tones with the red highlights were beautiful.
This is a good companion graphic novel to "Interview with the Vampire". I found myself fascinated with the illustrations and the quotes from the original novel. I'm glad that I bought the hardcover novel because it is going to be a book that I'm going to show off.
