LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Anaconda (1997) in Movies
Jun 28, 2022
Is there a better example of a film that's so shit but so great at the same time than Anaconda? I would argue that there is not. Something bad about Anaconda - Ice Cube making "your mum" jokes. Something good about Anaconda - Ice Cube making "your mum" jokes. Something bad - Jon Voights dodgy Paraguay accent. Something good - Jon Voights dodgy Paraguay accent...you see where I'm going with this. Everything that makes this movie shit also adds to its weird brand of 90s monster movie charm, right down to the snakes facial expressions sometimes being disturbingly human. I'm also a fan of how Johnathan Hydes character goes from being the token pampered rich dude who is uncomfortable in a jungle/safari setting and has a silly amount of suitcases (there's always one of those fuckers in these kind of films) to the only one who I wanted to survive. Character growth right there.
God bless Anaconda for being so entertainingly shite 🖤

It's not a bad show. It has its moments and I definitely had a laugh at the teenage antics because I remember being that age and trying to figure everything out and trying to find your place in the world. I really loved Eric because seeing him blossom into who he was always meant to be was such a beautiful thing. I had such a hard time with Otis however because he does so many things that are just awful and that includes the way he treats Eric who is his best friend. Otis comes from such a place of privilege and entitlement far too often that it makes it really hard to like him at all. He does get better and he does learn, but then he falls back into those same bad behaviors. The series finale feels odd a bit, but I think that's because they didn't know until later the show was ending. Overall, a fairly decent show.

Fun break from playing the games
Plot holes to the left, plot holes to the right (1 more)
Acting could have definitely been better
Nothing earth-shattering, but not a bad time either
Hey, this is fun movie. That's about it. Kick back on a Sunday night with a beer and watch this for the CGI fights and game related nostalgia.
If you want anything more, you're going to be disappointed.

Classic Read About Childhood
This classic tale is read over and over at our house. A fun tale about a boy who has nothing go right during his day. Everything is so bad he might move to Australia. This wonderful story helps children see that some days are better than others, but there is always a new day tomorrow. This classic is a must read for all children book lovers.

Santa Slasher
Hard to see what all the fuss was about by today's standards but suppose it was a bit shocking for '84. The film does look really dated now and is just unintentionally funny rather than scary or gruesome. A very poor film with cheap effects, bad acting and little plot. The good things are the typical 80's slasher feel to it, a few inventive kills. Hard to think it got 4 sequels!
Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Star Wars: Shattered Empire in Books

Held off until having seen the movie for this one, and realistically... didn't need to. It's more a post script to Return of the Jedi, and features two rebels who will become Po Dameron's parents. Po of course, is the breakout, hot shot pilot from Force Awakens. But other than that connection, there's NO Journey to the Force Awakens contained within. Not a bad story, great artwork, just not what was advertised...

the only piece of bad news, this is simply that: it’s all over.Unlike Star Wars, there is no original creator who we can look to come up with more and more episodes of a well-loved tale. J.R.R.Tolkien is dead, and with him the Fellowship died too.

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus #1) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
I liked this book, but not as much as the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Some of the main characters from that series do carry over into this new series. The story is based at Camp Half-Blood, but I wasn't as hooked into the plot as I was with the other series. That being said I will continue to read the forthcoming books in the series so I guess it wasn't that bad.

Awesome
There is nothing bad I can say about this game. It is the most emotional, thought-provoking, entertaining game around. I am a 30 year old man and it made me feel like a 15 year old girl. So many emotions and so much fun. I enjoyed it so much and am currently on my second play through, while playing Before the Storm, the prequel that was just released.

A contemplative zombie movie
It's been a long time since a 28 Days Later style zombie movie was out. It's more thought-provoking than an all out gorefest. The movie is watchable, although not my favourite genre. However, the acting was a little clunky. Only the slightly more polished actors Glenn Close and Paddy Considine really made a difference. Gemma Arterton is a pretty bad actress, she seemed robotic the entire time.
