Dean (6927 KP) rated The Good Girl (2002) in Movies
Apr 30, 2019
A so-so very slow paced drama, with quite dark comic moments. A woman bored with her everyday life in a small town embarks on an affair with a colleague. After that it's just one problem after another. It does have the odd comic moment, but overall it can be quite a dreary drama. ok story and cast, very low budget. Not bad overall, far from great!

Very bad sequel
No complains about special effects, because it is an old movie. The movie is watchable, but it is too predictable. We do get to meet a new interesting character - a girl who can solve puzzles, and we also get to see the human side of demons, and that's about it. Everything else is either boring, not scary, or plain stupid.

Not bad at all horror that somehow made it under the radar and shamefully never got a cinema release.
It's very much in the vain of "The Wicker Man" but in my opinion it's superior, with a story filled with dread and genuine shocks that sometimes make it a difficult watch, stick with it though and you are rewarded with a decent addition to the horror genre.

A short and sweet book, but I would have been happy to read more! These are very human Gods: Thor seems rather challenged in the brain department, and Loki is the annoying child at the party (or anywhere!).
This is the complete opposite to the Marvel movies (neither a good or bad thing), and I feel it's more faithful to the original myths (go figure!). Thoroughly recommended!

Autumn (3 KP) rated All Together Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, #7) in Books

i jumped into this series at book 3. not many important spoilers. but then i jumped from book 3 to this one. BAD idea. HUGE spoiler. it's kind of ruined the beginning of the series for me. instead of enjoying the storyline and going with the flow i'm analyzing character actions.
besides the disappointment of knowing too much, it was still entertaining, though not my favorite.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Taken 2 (2012) in Movies

A very enjoyable sequel with plenty of action. It's missing a certain something second time round though, maybe the detective work to track his daughter down added more suspense in the first. Good to see the daughter and ex-wife have larger roles this time though. Unfortunately though I got a bad feeling there could be a 3rd, which really would stretch the franchise too far.
Fran Donohoe (856 KP) rated Lady Bird (2017) in Movies

I never got why films like this (and 3 billboards) get nominated for Oscars ,while not a bad film it's very slow in parts where nothing much happens , it's billed as a comedy yet I didn't laugh once but i chuckled here and there , Ronan gives an average to be fair performance in a very forgettable film

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2423 KP) rated The 5th Horseman (Women's Murder Club, #5) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The women's murder club take on two cases. The first involves either murder or medical malpractice at a hospital. The second involves murdered women being left in expensive cars. Both were good stories, although the climax was so bad it killed much of the enjoyment for me.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2423 KP) rated Sidekicks in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When a superhero decides to get a new sidekick, his pets want in on the act. And that's not quite as bad an idea as it sounds.
This graphic novel is fun, and middle school students will enjoy it. Heck, I enjoyed it, and I'm an adult.
