Charlotte Ozanne (108 KP) rated A Bad Moms Christmas (2017) in Movies
Dec 5, 2019
Before watching this film, I thought it was a spin-off to the Bad Mom's film series, I did not realise it is actually the sequel to the original film. I was a bit dubious as to how this movie would entertain, as most sequels tend to be worse than the original. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Christmas version as it bested the first film. In my opinion, the comedy was top-notch (no surprise considering the immense cast). I would definitely recommend this film, though please take note of the age certification - it is 15 for a reason! I don't think you need to have seen the first film in order to watch this sequel. I couldn't remember the content first film despite remembering watching it at the cinema with my mum. There's only one small scene which ties the first film into it but you get the gist of what happened.
Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated While We're Young (2015) in Movies

I feel like I, along with most of my friends, have reached that age where adulthood has became far too real. Sadly, we get caught up in daily routines of work, relationships, and such. Not that our lives aren't great, just not in the moment and as spontaneous as we used to be. This is a great little movie about such a couple who befriends a younger, more hip couple that reminds them of their younger selves. Are their current friends right in thinking they are crazy and going through a midlife crisis or is this young, hipster couple the best thing to walk into their lives? Guess you'll just have to watch it and find out. Maybe afterwards you'll dust off some of your VHS's and see if remember how to rewind or break out your old vinyl collection for a spin. For God's sake, avoid fedoras and skinny jeans though.

David McK (3649 KP) rated The Karate Kid, Part III (1989) in Movies
Jan 17, 2021
Recently, Netflix has released series 3 of The Karate Kid spin-off/continuation (as it stars a now grown-up Ralph Macchio and William Zabka) 'Cobra Kai'.
A couple of the episodes in said series have linked back to The Karate Kid Part 2, which I'd watched prior to starting that particular series after it was teased towards the end of series 2. I suppose I should have known, therefore, that there would have been a couple of teases/callbacks/references made to The Karate Kid Part 3 (which I'd never seen), particularly in the storyline in which Daniel LaRusso's daughter Samantha is traumatised.
I have to say, I found this to be slower and less enjoyable than either Part 1 or Part 2, with a lame romantic subplot, and with Terry Silver in particular a one-note villain, whose brutal karate technique and training drives a wedge between Daniel and Mr Miyagi.

Gareth Leadbetter (1 KP) rated Blood Bowl (2016 edition) in Tabletop Games
Jun 24, 2019
One of the oldest and best just got a relaunch
Blood Bowl is more than just a boxed game; for some it's a way of life, boasting tournaments and fans all around the world, including players of the many spin-off video games. The base set barely touched the surface of the hobby. I thoroughly recommend seeking out the Death Zone expansions, which add league rules to the mix. There are already many team expansions (such as Elves) released with more to come. The hobby is further supported by an abundance of third party additions. If you like the idea of playing a strategic, turn-based version of American Football with Dwarves and mutant rats the look no further.

Eleanor (1463 KP) rated Star Trek: Discovery - Season 2 in TV
May 28, 2019 (Updated May 28, 2019)
Action (1 more)
Some strong characters
Fall off in form - more of a set up for Season 3....
I enjoyed the first series of this Trek spin off so went into season 2 hoping for a lot. It managed to tackle some of the troublesome storylines but it felt like the characters had lost some of the punchyness that made the first series shine.
In this series we get a lot of Spock (not entirely sold on the acting of Ethan Peck) who must face his past along with his estranged sister Michael Burnham. As well as Captain Pike (played very well by Anson Mount) taking control of Discovery to investigate a series of odd red signals that have being appearing across the universe.
Stories involving time travel are often problematic and unlike the Series 1 mirror universe storyline the time travel aspect in this was clumsy. The AI threat was also not that thrilling for me and left too many questions unanswered.
There seemed to be a much more mopy, exploring feelings and relationships, feel to this series that I think that let it down. The action was great but characters seemed to feel it was necessary to have a heart to heart in the middle of a time critical mission - GET ON WITH IT FFS!!!
