Character Development
Entertaining but no character development
Good vs evil. Good wins. End of plot development. Dark tone like most Batman movies. While I don't think action movies need to develop characters to the same extent as dramas, there are so many unique characters in this movie that deserved more than just a two-minute intro as they each got rounded up in the beginning of the movie. I see a lot of potential with these characters and would probably see another movie with them in it, I was just disappointed that I didn't get to learn more about a few of them in this movie.
Ross (3284 KP) rated The Adam Buxton Podcast in Podcasts
Jan 4, 2018
I have long been a fan of Adam & Joe on TV and podcast and enjoy Buxton's solo podcast. Here he interviews comedian guests about their work, life and general nonsense. The interviews are very laid back and aren't done just to plug a new release/show. Adam's silly style, but experience and musical knowledge allow the comedy to flow regardless of the guest as there will always be some entertainment he will get out of them.
The advertising gets a little bit irritating at times but this is a necessary evil to make the podcast viable for Buxton.

Best. Game. Ever.
This game is so much fun. The maps are well animated in a classic Nintendo style. The mini-games are very fun and go between somewhat difficult and super easy, but the outcome never seems to be the same for one player. I just wish more people could play than just the four.

Perfect for multiplayer fun
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is a great game to get for hours of fun. This is an RPG adventure game set in the imaginary world of sanctuary. You choose a class to develop your character. Alongside many in NPC characters, you battle your way to the Demons of hell to reach the ultimate evil Diablo. This is a perfect game to play multiplayer. I first got into Diablo from watching my dad play. Now my brothers and I play once a week together (we all live in different states). This is a great game to spend time with loved ones.

Quite funny
A fun Horror Comedy
Well this Netflix original has been on my list for a while so I gave it a whirl. It's a tongue firmly in cheek horror comedy with a fair amount of gore. A young nerdy kid finds out his hot babysitter has evil plans for him.
The cast was quite cool and fun. You sense they enjoyed filming this. It is quite funny in an cheesy way, with a slight 80's horror vibe to it. Almost a horror version of Home alone. If you want a horror comedy that is quite funny check it out.

Not bad
As far as horror movies go this one was pretty good. A creepy "what if" superhero movie. The acting was ok and the cinematography wasn't too bad. The story was unique so I appreciated that. It unfolded well enough and had a few jump scares but it's the idea they were trying to put in your head. The "what if someone as powerful as superman was evil" really would be a scary thing. The ceo factor read here and it had a couple "gory" scenes so may not be great for kids. Otherwise I'd definitely say this is a good one for movie night. Worth a watch.
Dawn Marie (22 KP) rated Tower of Terror (1997) in Movies
Jan 19, 2018
Disney tv movie can't remember if it was a wonderful world of Disney or a Disney channel movie based on the tower of terror ride. It is the anniversary of the disappearance of kid actor Sally shine and 4 other people who disappeared when lightning hit the Hollywood tower hotel. Disgraced reporter buzzy played by Steve Guttenberg gets a visitor and decided to go there to take a story with his niece played by Kristen dunst. Is the story true, are there ghosts, evil forces, or nothing but dust in this tower only watching it will you find out. A little cheesy but good Disney fare.

Story/Plot
one of the best samurai films of all time.
If you've seen a fistful of dollars, you know the plot, but this is the original, and it's still the best version of the story. Bruce Willis even tried his hand at it, as a 1920's gangster called Last Man Standing. It's an epic story of one man who wanders into town and finds two sides of the town at war and both are evil. Which means the townsfolk are the biggest losers. He brings clever justice with him. Watch it if you've never done so. It's well worth the time.
Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Between Good And Evil in Books
Feb 21, 2018
I love a mystery that wastes no time with setup and has me in suspense from page 1, and Between Good and Evil did just that. It took a bit to catch on to what was happening in Auburn Notch, but thats not a bad thing. The reader is left to piece things together as the story unfolds just as the characters are, and there is a lot going on. The characters are well formed and the descriptions very detailed. This was a good first installment, and Ill be watching for more Promise Flynn.
NOTE: I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated Spy Camp (Spy School #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Ben Ripley is thrilled to have completed his first semester at spy school and is looking forward to a summer to relax with family and friends. Unfortunately, he has to attend Spy Camp instead. Worse yet, evil organization SPYDER is after him again. Either he will join them or be killed. The action is not stop and we get to know the main characters a little better. Mix in a dose of humor, and you've got a winner that kids and adults will all enjoy.
