Paul Archer (25 KP) rated Pandemic in Tabletop Games
May 27, 2019
Fantastic Artwork (4 more)
Great Mechanics
Replayable
Great introduction to board games
Easy to teach/learn
A great game that works well
Pandemic was my first (grown up) board game in a while... It was also a great way to introduce others to tabletop gaming because it is so easy to teach on the fly...the mechanics work really well thematically...it's great to have in your collection and start a game night with friends or family because there isn't any bickering because the whole point of the game is to work together
Peter G. (247 KP) rated Django Unchained (2012) in Movies
Jun 5, 2019
A Tarantino classic in my book, well scripted and acted with so many great moments and even a Cameo role from the original Django, Franco Nero.
The revenge plot is so well put together and the storyline riveting, Tarrentino has this thing about casting actors we haven't seen in a while and then getting a near career best performance from them, Don Johnson being a highlight. It all moves at a great pace with the finale and shootout scenes and dialogue adding further polish to this stunning movie.

A non-event of a story (2 more)
Awful one-dimensional dialogue
The Tessa Thompson/Chris Hemsworth Ragnarok chemistry never materialises
Lazy, formulaic and pretty pointless.
The latest MiB is a mere shadow of the former Sonnenfeld trilogy. Perhaps if they put a blinky light in my face I can forget it again? Read the full review on One Mann's Movies here - https://bob-the-movie-man.com/2019/06/16/one-manns-movies-film-review-men-in-black-international-2019/
starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Amity of the Angelmen (Angelmen #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
This was a different type of read for me but I found myself enjoying it so very much. I really liked watching Amity learn who she is and what she is meant to do and who she is meant to be. The storyline flowed well.. the characters were very enjoyable and I loved how it all came together. The only thing I wasn't fond on was the ending.. I can't say more because of spoilers but dang.. lol.. But it was still a very fun story to read
Dean (6927 KP) rated American Reunion (2012) in Movies
Feb 10, 2018 (Updated Jul 7, 2018)
Great to see the original cast back together after 13 years from the first film. It gave me a slight sense of nostalgia as well thinking about when I saw the first film and how things have changed since then. All the best scenes seem to involve Jim & Michelle apart from a few in jokes from the earlier films. So never really as funny as the first or having as much of an impact, but good to see them altogether again. Just noticed the poster is a recreation of the original as well!
Tamsin Clark (15 KP) rated Legion - Season 1 in TV
Jan 20, 2018
Where did it go?
This was a superb first season, but where did the series go? It seems to have been forever since I heard anything about it.
I absolutely love the twisty, surreal feel to the episodes. The way things progress as each episode moves on only keeps you more and more focused on the story, and pining for more at the end. Every character has a dark past that ties in with other characters and really brings the whole narrative together. Definitely recommend and very much hoping there will be a second season.

Bee (0 KP) rated Lady Midnight in Books
Jan 29, 2018
Wow, what can I say? I thoroughly enjoyed reading Lady Midnight. I felt for all of the characters, I had favorites who turned into less desirable characters towards the end. I thought I'd predicted who the killer was and then a sense of dread and realisation and I found myself flicking back to earlier parts of the story to cement what I now knew was true before Emma pieced it together herself. I can't wait to read the next installment! I'm especially looking forward to seeing how Kit and Ty interact with each other.

Kyera (8 KP) rated Unrivalled in Books
Feb 1, 2018
This is a quick read about teens in Hollywood - but not all is as it seems. The main characters are from different walks of life and are all involved in this club promotion contest for very different reasons. They don't expect to make friends or even like each other, but unforseen circumstances bring them together for better or worse. Read the book to find out what happens! Recommended to young adult/teen readers that like contemporary books about teens that involve drama, relationships, a bit of mystery and glamour.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2609 KP) rated The Homicide Hustle: A Ballroom Dance Mystery in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The reality TV competition Ballroom with the B-Listers has hit DC, and Graysin Motion is one of the featured studios. But when one of the show's producers dies, Stacy begins digging around to find the killer. The characters and plot are a little light even for a cozy, but the story comes together well at the end. Anyone with an interest in ballroom dance will certainly enjoy it.
