Disappointing
Whilst the trailer for this didn't wow me, it made me think this film had enough promise to warrant watching. However the end result was rather disappointing.

Cast wise this wasn't bad. Sam Claflin, Eleanor Tomlinson and Olivia Munn are always watchable, although i really can't stand Aisling Bea. The setting and scenery in this are absolutely beautiful, but then you can't really go wrong with Rome. The main problem with this film is the premise of the concept doesn't meet expectations, and the whole thing just isn't particularly funny. It sounds like it should be something similar to Groundhog Day or Edge of Tomorrow, but without spoiling it, it's a bit of letdown. And the laughs are sadly lacking. There are few smart witty quips that raised a smile, but not the full on romcom the trailer promised. Even the romance was rather dull and predictable.

Not one I'd bother to watch again and almost instantly forgettable. There are much better romcoms out there.

You would think that a film about massive monsters battling out wouldn't be boring... but it was. My friend had warned me, but I thought maybe she was being too hard on the film. These Godzilla/Kong movies are normally big, dumb fun. This one? Snore.
The monster fights were the best parts, seriously, cut all the humans and I would have actually enjoyed it. I want to know where these scientists get their degrees, because they are all dumb af. There wasn't even someone attractive to keep me engaged, my chicken tendies and the promise of the big monster fight at the end were basically the reason I stayed.

I imagine I'll forget this film by tomorrow, much like I did the other two Godzilla films. At least the previous Kong film had Tom Hiddleston in the tight blue t-shirt to keep things interesting.

Just go re-watch Pacific Rim.

Broken Debut
Tammy Wright is taking time this summer to help her Aunt Clara run her ceramics shop. But she’s only been in town a few hours before she learns about a real estate agent who is pressuring Clara to sell. A murder and a disappearance only up the stakes. Can Tammy figure out what is going on?

Yes, the ceramics is what caught my eye here, although that’s not the official hook for the series. It reminded me of the few months I did some with my grandma and how much she enjoyed that hobby for decades. But that was where the good ended for me. The writing was poor throughout the book. The pacing was off with events substituting for investigation. And the characters were weak, although I did like them. There was definitely promise here, but the book needed a good edit. Others seemed to enjoy this book more than I did, but I won’t be moving forward with this series.

I've given it three stars because I wanted this to be a happier story, I wanted Sophie to end up happy, and I guess in a way she was but I love romances in books and this one wasn't exactly all roses and light.

I was in turmoil for a lot of this. How everyone treated her and why was just so unfair but she'd made a promise to him and got a lot of shit for it. She never broke it though, despite the heartache it caused. Poor Sophie.

A European Masterpiece
*SEASON 1* An incredible piece of TV.This has the lot,beautiful photography,a mind bending storyline and some amazing atmospheric music.

Set in a small German town with a child has gone missing you think that this is just going to be another mystery or drama show that deals with said child I promise you it's not.There are other weird things going on in this town and nearly every person in it has a secret or something to hide.

This show is something special.Looking forward to starting season 2 ASAP.

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book. I'm sorry I really am,I really REALLY wanted to like it and I could lie and tell you I did but I really didn't and I was always told honesty is the best policy (but please don't hate me,I'm a fragile soul) I had heard amazing things about this book but for me it fell flat. It made me cringe which is half the reason why I just didn't enjoy it. It wasn't for me that is all,but I promise there are so many people out there that adore this book unfortunately I just wasn't one of them.
