Great Story telling
Everything Else
I want to Fight like Lila
I was introduced to V E Schwabs work in January by a friend and i pretty much read all her series in the space of a week an a half. However out of all of her books the darker shade series is my Favorite, Victoria creates an amazing world within world. Her characters are lovable and flawed than will make you love them more. Lila Bard is a fantastic Female protagonist and whilst Kell may be the lead there chemistry together is undeniable.
If you love fantasy good story telling magic mystery suspense then these books are for you!

Fast paced
Good cast
A flawed but enjoyable space movie
While the movie was acted well and the depiction of alien life form was interesting, the plot was quite bare. The characters didn't have enough development and had no depth regarding their relationships to each other. I liked this sci-fi thriller, though our astronauts seemed to lack some common sense and weren't as believable. The alien life form was original in design, but felt unrealistic in the power and intelligence gained in such a short period of time. The movie didn't do anything new and creative, but it was a fun film. However, the ending was predictable and kind of disappointing.
After reading The Martian and loving it, I was super excited to read this book. I got through Artemis really quickly, but I think it’s because I kept hoping for something interesting to happen.
The whole concept of a settlement on the moon is cool, and I enjoyed exploring that. The main character, Jazz, is not a very likable or relatable character. Her jokes weren’t funny and the way she interacted with other characters was boring. The other characters weren’t very memorable or well-developed. The heist scenario seemed promising, but really fell flat.
Honestly the book wasn’t terrible, but if you're expecting an awesome, scientific, space-life read like The Martian you’ll be disappointed.

When I first heard about The Orville and that it was being made by Seth MacFarlane honestly I didn't have any faith in it because I figured it was going to basically be Family guy in space... No thing but homophobic and rape jokes.
Oh man I have never been so glad to be wrong.
I heard from a few friends that it was actually a pretty amazing show ... Even better then the new Star Trek show so I though hell why not give it a shot... And I am so glad I did! I was not prepared for how much I was going to live The Orville. The cast is amazing and the stories are even better!

It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for. Avengers: Endgame (2019) Review
“Avengers: Endgame” does everything it needed to do, and then some. It does some of the things you expected it to do, but perhaps not in quite the way you expected. You may be expecting an action-packed adventure across time and space as the heroes desperately seek redemption after their first real defeat but what you may not be expecting is how much of a character-driven victory lap the Russos and writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have managed to weave organically into the story to propel us to the MCU’s most potent and emotive finale to date...

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Infinite Desire in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I have a soft spot for bounty hunters and space. Put those two together and you have a recipe for magic. This novel was exactly up my alley and I loved everything about it. After reading Katherine McIntyres Stolen Petals, I was jonesing for another story similar. This was a perfect match. With a fierce female lead and a deliciously devious male lead, the couple burned up the pages. Its not erotic however, having a plot interesting enough to keep my attention when they werent setting the book on fire.
Overall, the novel reads quick, but it is rather enjoyable. If you like strong female bounty hunters and the men who love them, I recommend it.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2579 KP) rated Commander Toad and the Big Black Hole (Commander Toad) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The crew of the Star Warts is exploring a new part of space when they see a black hole off in the distance. While it makes them reminisce of the holes they grew up in, they suddenly find their ship stuck on something. What is it? Can they break free?
This alternative take on black holes is a lot of fun, although I do feel the book started a bit slowly. Still, the pictures are great, the puns are present, and the ending provides a great moral that everyone can learn from – don’t sing with your mouth full!

Just plain bad
I'm starting to wonder if Trainwreck was a one hit wonder for Amy Schumer. This film is absolutely terrible. It doesn't start off well as it introduces Amy's character as such a detestable self obsessed person that you have no interest in her wellbeing and really can't stand her. So her development over the space of the film is wasted. There's barely anything truly funny in this film, most of it is just cringingly bad. The only decent scenes are those with the brother and the US state department agent, but sadly those are few and far between.
The only good thing about this film is it's thankfully short running time.

The game of perfectly combining luck and strategy
The ability to read the dice and hold/roll again is something that develops after a few games. You roll the 5 dice and are looking to make poker-hand combinations (total of 3s, 3 of a kind, straight, etc) in order to fill the scoreboard - if you pick the wrong space in the scoreboard too soon you can end up scoring nothing for an excellent throw.
Learning what to hold and what to spin and keeping your options open is a must - you can't go all out for 5 of a kind (Yahtzee!) on 6s if you have already scored for 6s etc.
