Dianne Robbins (1738 KP) rated Sausage Party (2016) in Movies
Jan 1, 2019
Good when you need something stupid
I like many of the actors in the movie so my rating is skewed towards the positive due to my inappropriate laughter imagining them saying their lines and the relationships between the actors. My boyfriend and I wanted to watch something funny and stupid; Sausage Party fit the bill. Most of our laughter was accompanied with eye rolls and shaking our heads, incredulous at what was being said or done. The jokes are crude, sophomoric, scatological, sexual, and filled with inappropriate stereotypes. We saw it on cable and it was edited for content so I'm sure the theatrical release was much worse. It's Seth Rogen. What more can I say?
Amy Curtis (49 KP) rated The Strangers (2008) in Movies

Predictable
I've been meaning to watch this film for quite a while now particular when everyone was excited to see the second one when it hit the cinema. I didn't mind the film and it gave a few good jump scares. However, I just found that the ending was a bit predictable. The one thing I did like is that you never saw the identity of The Strangers. It was supposedly based on true events and I'd be intrigued to know what happened. The scary part about it is the fact that it is realistic and the concept of someone invading your home which you always consider your safe place.

I actually downloaded this as part of Apples iTunes 12 days the year before last (2010), but only got round to reading it recently when I saw the trailer for the movie, and realized it was still outstanding. I'm going to sum up my impression in 5 words: "I wish I hadn't bothered".
The reason for that is not so much in the style of writing (first person, flows well enough) but simply that nothing seems to happen for the entire book - it never gripped me; never made me want to read just another chapter to see what would happen next. In short, I found it to be lacking any kind of grip at all.

This is one of those books that I feel like everyone reads in high school but my English teacher never had us read it. I will admit that I have been interested in reading it ever since I saw Easy A starring Emma Stone (Such a fun movie). I found myself really enjoying the story. It was deeper than I anticipated, and I loved the language and characters, especially Hester and Pearl. My only real struggle with the book was the first two hours were the author rambling before the story even started! But this book also gets bonus points because Hawthorne was friends with Ralph Waldo Emerson, a writer and transcendentalist, who I was named after.

This book wasn't my favourite out of the series yes it had twists and turns quite a few i saw coming , I'm not the biggest fan of viktor and i don't like elizabeth.
Viktor ok ish but beth....... iv been through crap that should have sent me more bat shit crazy than beth and yes i know "she has the crazy genes" but her character for me was flat and i just didn't like her in it. Benny was still on top form as usual. I missed jade she was my fave from the start and she kinda faded out in this book x but as a whole it was an amazing ride (the whole series )

The Marinated Meeple (1853 KP) rated Parasite (2019) in Movies

The Movie is very well made (2 more)
Writing is especially good
Acting
The Story itself (1 more)
Lots of holes in plot and moments that don't make sense...
Craftsmanship is excellent, the story is bad.... writing is good, to many holes in plot
I didn't even know what this was about when I saw it, and I knew there was hype, but not why.... I don't get why people like this movie so much. it's creepy and unsettling most of the time... yes there are tense moments, but I didn't care about any of the characters..... I just didn't want to see what would happen next.... for me that's not good. This movie is a shade below qualifying as horror.
Millie (22 KP) rated Rebecca Powder And The Werewolves Of Stone County (Book #2 Born To Be Mine) in Books
Jan 27, 2020
This was a very quick, easy-to-read story that crossed over a lot of different genres. Not to be taken seriously as the author has mentioned, it's still enjoyabale. I feel like Jade Cooper has a lot of potential with her storytelling; however, there were a lot of grammar errors in the copy I was given. I also saw elements of fanfiction (which isn't surprising given that it features werewolves and vampires with some erotica mixed in.) I would recommend this to mature adults who need a fast novella to get out of a reading slump.

Pleasant Surprise
I spent a lot of quarters in the arcade on the game Rampage. When I saw it was going to be a movie, of course I am going to go and see it. I really liked the way they did the story. While this movie wasn't the best, I still enjoyed it very much. Dwayne Johnson delivers another good performance. The main antagonist were hard to take seriously. I felt the strike team was more ominous than they were. If you loved the game like I did and looking for a good time, you will enjoy this movie.
different take on the whole spooky universe
one thing i noticed with this show was it had some different elements to it than the standard witch and werewolf shows. IT was interesting and i will be looking forward to season 2, my only issue was i felt like it was really dragging, certain moments felt like hours instead of minutes and some weird useless information was brought in that had nothing to do with the story line.
Even saying that i did enjoy myself while watching, a friend of mine works on set and it was cool to see the other side of the set in stead of what i just saw.
