Awix (3310 KP) rated X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019) in Movies
Jun 6, 2019 (Updated Jun 6, 2019)
A thin script and lacklustre direction are mainly to blame; there is the odd decent moment but they are not strung together effectively. Most of the X-Men feel like cardboard cut-outs this time. The usual charisma and acting skill is also largely absent, with only Michael Fassbender making much of an impression. I think it's fair to say that without the X-Men series there would not have been the MCU movies, so this franchise's place in history is assured - but the superhero movie has, ironically, evolved, and this film feels very tired and irrelevant.
Tezzie Bee (7 KP) rated Monstrous Regiment: (Discworld Novel 31) in Books
Jul 11, 2018
She’s off to fight for her country Borogravia, a country that picks wars with other countries almost as often as a small child picks its nose.
Polly (or Ozzer as she becomes known) joins a raggedy band which becomes known as the Monstrous Regiment, lead by the legendary Sergeant Jackrum. A troupe consisting of a troll, a vampire, an Igor, and others. All with a big secret.
Although part of the Discworld novels, this can be read as a stand-alone novel. a thoroughly enjoyable read, which brings in some old Discworld characters we know and love.

However, an unlike a Sharpe novel, this one never really gripped me: I never really seemed to connect with the title character at all. While it is written as one, this book could also easily be split into three main sections: the first part concentrating on the battle of Oudenarde, the middle part with Steel going undercover in Paris, and the final part with the siege of Lille: it's just a pity that none of these really grips and so, while I may read some more in the series, I won't be going out of my way to look for them.

There is nothing too challenging about this, you simply have to guide your koi around the pond, feeding it certain aquatic creatures.
As the game progresses, your koi will grow, the pond will expand and eventually your little koi will breed.
There are many colour variations of koi that can be need. Once your pond has grown to optimum size, your koi will evolve into a dragon.
The difference between Zen Koi and Zen Koi 2, is that in the second incarnation of the game you are still able to interact with your dragon in s limited fashion. You are able to guide them around a small patch of sky, collecting essence, which you can then use to decorate your pond.

EasterBunnyKiller (31 KP) rated Truth or Dare (2018) in Movies
Jul 31, 2019 (Updated Jul 31, 2019)
I'm glad I used the points I accrued from my Redbox rentals instead of spending actual money to see it. It was exactly what I expected, a movie about young, attractive, and utterly milquetoast characters bumbling from scene to scene and a marginally interesting hook for why the bad thing is out to get them.
The acting is fine, and it's not terrible visually, but this movie lacks any kind of soul. Just your basic Friday night junk food horror flick. And don't get me wrong, I love junk food. But it's the difference between potato skins from TGIFridays and those terrible TGIFridays potat skin flavored chips.
Of course, my wife loved it.
