David McK (3734 KP) rated Joy in the Morning (Jeeves, #8) in Books
Jan 30, 2019 (Updated Dec 14, 2019)
"It is impossible to be unhappy while reading the adventures of Jeeves and Wooster. And I've tried." - Christopher Buckley
The above quotation sums it up pretty well, actually!
With a plot involving the usual romantic shenanigans that sees Bertie Wooster getting (unwillingly) engaged and then trying to get out of it, with it being up to Jeeves - as always - to sort matters out and bring the various of Bertie's friends back together again. This is the one with Edwin the boy scout, and with Wooster getting engaged to Florence Craye.

James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Cold Vein by Cannibal Ox in Music

Revolutionary
Before they all fell out, El P got rappers Vast Aire and Vordul Mega together, with their slow lolloping flows over beats that still sound ahead of their time now to make The Cold Vein. So groundbreaking even extreme metal magazine Terroriser had it in their albums of the year. It crossed boundaries, changed what hip hop should sound like and set a benchmark for new music. They then all fell out and never did it again. Stupid as they could be very rich.

The Grudge's Ring II
The Grudge 2- is a decent sequel, if you like the first one, than you will like this one. This one is scary, horrorfying and spooky. Not to mention creepy.
The Plot: A young woman (Amber Tamblyn) encounters a terrible curse while searching for her missing sister (Sarah Michelle Gellar) in Tokyo. The evil imprecation fills its victims with murderous rage, but it also brings together the diverse group to unlock its secret and save their lives.
Overall it is a good movie and a decent sequel.

AT (1676 KP) rated John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) in Movies
Jul 18, 2019
I liked John Wick chapter 3 for the action. However, I'll say that a few of the action sequences were drawn out a bit longer than necessary. The plot was simple, so it didn't get lost in between the fights. I didn't love Halle Berry's part, but loved the dogs, and the part that they played, eventually linking the two characters together, even if it was for a short period of time. I was honestly getting a little bored with the last major fight sequence, but I did really enjoy the ending!
Sarah (82 KP) rated Titans - Season 1 in TV
Jan 20, 2019
Excellent from DC Comics
Im not usually one for watching DC, I much prefer Marvel but this series has definitely turned my head. Great storyline, with a few flashbacks as to how Dick became Batman's partner. Then the stories of the other heroes are just as interesting and weaved into the whole season. I've nearly finished this season and already cant wait for the next.
It has amazing graphics which I guess you would expect from DC anyway. I love the way the heroes band together to make a surrogate family.

Kimmic (814 KP) rated A Man Called Ove in Books

I don't get what all the fuss is about? I tried so hard to force myself to read this and I got about halfway and I found myself avoiding reading all together just because I couldn't face the boredom of it? I skipped to the end and read the last chapter and was so glad that I didn't torture myself any further by reading the whole thing.
I realise that I seem to be the minority of this opinion, maybe there is a secret chapter to the book that mine didn't contain??? Who knows.

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) in Movies
Jul 2, 2019
Solo was amazing! I loved it! Aside from a few cheesy Empire lines, which what do you expect from those Empire folks, I thought it was a great story with an outstanding cast and put together wonderfully. One aspect that really made it great to watch was a lot of the make-up and effects felt more practical and less cheap cgi, which is why out of the newer Star Wars movies I love Rogue One and Solo. A really fun and great movie I definitely suggest seeing.
Jake (52 KP) rated Secret Hitler in Tabletop Games
Jul 24, 2019
Love Social Deduction? Then Love Secret Hitler!
This is one of the best social deduction (if not THE best) games I've ever played: and I've played a lot of them. I highly recommend getting a group of friends together to play this: you will not regret yelling at each other for an hour about who's Hitler and who's not. So fun!
Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated The Best of Enemies (2019) in Movies
Jul 5, 2019
With another 4th of July in the books, I can't help but think about people in today's world still having to fight for different freedoms and rights. One fight, or charette rather, to end school segregation took place in North Carolina in 1971 that brought together the best of enemies and the unlikeliest of friends, a black activist Ann Atwater and a KKK leader C.P. Ellis. Best of Enemies is a really good movie with a wonderful cast that tells this particular story beautifully. Here's to love always triumphing over ignorant hate.
