CKD (37 KP) rated Truly Madly Guilty in Books
Dec 7, 2018
This book centers around a group of 6 friends/neighbors in Australia. They all attend a barbecue at one of the neighbor's homes. There is an "accident" that occurs at the barbecue, but you do not find out what happens until about 3/4 of the way through the book. The chapters alternate between the day of the barbecue and weeks afterward but also provides the background on some of the characters.
The relationship between Erika and Clementine is difficult. When guilt gets thrown into the mix, it slowly fractures their friendship. Pack some patience when reading this book....it takes a while for the characters to develop and to get to the barbecue.

Anyone expecting a biopic in the same way bohemian rhapsody was will be somewhat disappointed.This is more of a musical with elements of Elton's life thrown inbetween each musical number.
This film was never gonna reach the same heights as b.r did but does contain some very strong performances by egerton and bell as john and bernie taupin.The relationship (or lack of) between the young elton and his parents could have been explored in a bit more detail instead of just portraying them as the cold and unloving people they seemed to be.
This film wont win any Oscar's but is still enjoyable and worthy of watching.

Ice hockey and smut what’s bad about that? Violet, accountant and step sister to a professional NHL hockey player is dragged along to see a game and meets eyes with Alex. What follows is a delightfully funny, dirty journey through lust into love.
Knowing the reputation of the hockey players Violet tries to resist the MC, but suffers from a lapse in sensibility, and ends up tumbling in bed with Waters.
Waters is not exactly portrayed by the media in a good way, and he has some poor advice to manage too. Puck bunny or long term relationship??
Absolutely hilarious dialogue, well written and the write length, I look forward to reading more...

EVERY MAN WANTS HER. MANY WANT TO KILL HER.
Good luck to them….
In the second beautifully-crafted paranormal romance of this reverse harem epic fantasy series, author Auryn Hadley explores Sal’s gently-morphing relationship to the Black Blades—her comarades-in-arms and lovers ...
I'm just so in love with these books! We are back with Sal and her men. They are dealing with the backlash of coming out as all Iliri and finding the steel. Also figuring out where they stand in personal relationships. Balec brings in other elite teams to help with bringing home the steel but with it comes the race issues against Iliri. This was so good!

AT (1676 KP) rated Playmobil: The Movie (2019) in Movies
Mar 6, 2020
I don't think this movie was as terrible as most of the reviews said it was. It's a kids' movie, about a sibling relationship, and basically, playing with a lot of the Playmobil sets together, as kids do. It was corny and dorky at times, but that's what made it fun. The "acting" was over the top at times, but it was how kids play with the characters. It definitely was silly, but I don't think it was awful. I laughed quite a bit. You just have to accept the play world of children when you watch it. It wasn't the best movie that I've seen, but it was still fun to watch.

Mirror of misfortune
Oculus- a underrated horror jem that more people should watch.
It is spooky, thrilling, chilling, horrorfying, terrorfying, twisting, suspenseful, and overall a great horror film.
The plot: Haunted by the violent demise of their parents 10 years earlier, adult siblings Kaylie (Karen Gillan) and Tim (Brenton Thwaites) are now struggling to rebuild their relationship. Kaylie suspects that their antique mirror, known as the Lasser Glass, is behind the tragedy. The seemingly harmless reflections contain a malevolent, supernatural force that infects the mind of anyone who gazes into it. As Kaylie gets closer to the truth, the siblings become caught in the mirror's evil spell.
A highly reecordmend horror film.

Erika (17789 KP) rated I Love You, Now Die in TV
Apr 18, 2020
HBO unlocked some content during this whole, dramatic time. I was glad they unlocked some documentaries. I've been wanting to watch this documentary, because I haven't gotten to see much on this case.
I liked that they showed the whole relationship, and not just the texts that hit the prosecution's theory of the crime. I think both of these people equally needed help, and were equal to blame. They both needed to be locked up in psych wards. She definitely failed to call 911, but the dude had jerked her around so much, how was she supposed to know that the threat was legit?
Anyway, I'm glad I got to see it.... for free.
