Wrongerahippie (66 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in Books
Jul 19, 2017
Loved it
I came across Harry Potter when the school my kids went to was trying to have the books banned and removed. So in research mode I read the first one (sorcerer's stone) and was hooked. This book opens a whole world of magic and friendship, good vs bad and all that you would expect from a magic school. Awesome read!

Good low budget slasher
Caught this on TV, surprised I had not heard of it. A decent little slasher film with some emerging young stars in the cast. Not very gory but feels like a good old school slasher. Produced by Kevin Williamson who had a hand in Scream and I know what you did last summer!
Dean (6925 KP) rated Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) in Movies
Jun 5, 2018
The first of 3 films, about a kid trying to fit in at middle school. Everyone can relate to a large part of the film. Starting a new school, with older kids, growing up and trying to fit in. It has a few childish moments meant to be funny for very young viewers perhaps. Overall a decent family comedy film.

Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated Bring It On (2000) in Movies

I love all "Bring It On" movies, but this one was where it all started, and still the one I have watched the most. It is very predictable and very fake, but it is a movie I watched during high school and holds a lot of nostalgia in it. Even though there is no such thing as cheerleading in Macedonia. I used to be a national karate champion istead.
If you love a bit of old high-school cheerleading drama, and want to see old classrooms, old-school romance and old-style radios with handmade tapes and rock songs, you'll enjoy this one.

Bandslam is a decent coming-of-age film for ages 7-13, but it is your typical American high school story where the guy gets the girl and everything works out in the end. The only good thing that comes from this film is the hidden truth that is revealed about society: when rumours are passed around about you and you move school, but the students at the new school always find out about your background and use it as a weapon. This brutal truth is shown throughout the film as Will tries, unsuccessfully, to hide the fact his father killed a kid whilst drinking under the influence and is now in prison with a DUI. What is most shocking is, not only do the students at his new school use his father's DUI against him, but so does Charlotte, who was supposedly Will's friend. Overall, Bandslam is more suited to younger audiences with an open mind.
