Rickey A. Mossow Jr. (689 KP) rated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) in Movies

May 21, 2019

Great movie, even to a Spiderman purist.

I've always been a purist. I enjoy the classic comics and their stories the most. Just how I was raised and what I grew up with. I know of the Morales storyline, just never gave it much credence. So, I was a little hesitant heading into this movie to say the least. That all aside, this little flick was a lot of fun. A fun, though not original, story leads all the various Spider characters together in a fun ride through Marvel lore. Was also very pleased with the adult overtones to the story while keeping it an animation movie for kids, which so many new cartoon movies do so well these days. In the end, while I may still believe that Peter Parker is the Spiderman, I now have a better understanding and appreciation of Morales and the other variations of Spiderman and their place in the Marvel Universe. Well done, Sony. And, of course, RIP Stan Lee. You will be missed.

Let me be completely honest: Salt is my favorite action movie with a female lead. The fighting style was refreshing in a way. I don't want to see my heroine do flips and kicks obviously meant to show how much yoga she's done, but rather I want to have a brutal and trained agent who just happens to have to survive. This flick delivers that in a very satisfying way.

The downfall comes at the ending, however, that seems to just fall short with me. Now, don't get me wrong I love what happens in the final scene and wish there would have been more with that. It's just that it turns a little contrived and doesn't sell where the story felt like it was going for me. Then again, with the fighting styles, I had really high exceptions for it.

Overall, it's worth the watch and deserves a place on the hit list. I watch it probably a handful of times a year.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Bright Baby Touch and Feel Bathtime in Books

Nov 14, 2018

This is a cute and fun little book which my baby really likes. I have rated it 4 stars as it's not as good as some of the other touch books that I've got for her. It's quite sturdy so it should last a while and it's full of bright colours and different textures for your baby to touch. I would recommend books in this series but not so much as some others that I have purchased. The books are quite short so I would say get a number of them as after a couple of flick throughs your little one might get a bit bored.
Baby books aren't the cheapest things ever so before purchasing make sure you check your local library as they should have a good selection.
This one in particular is fun to read together just before a nice, warm bath so you can talk your baby through bathtime.

Anything to see that cute, little smile...

Movie Rating

379. Underwater. A straight to the action, claustrophobic thriller. Story begins with scantily clad Norah getting ready to start her shift at the laboratory at the bottom of the ocean. And by the sudden alarms going off and the entire structure rocking back and forth, something went wrong. it's an earthquake, and its tearing the place apart. And so it's on to find others and to get to escape pods. Oh the earthquake also woke something up down there, and it's big. Who knows maybe its there just to say hi to the new neighbors, but it doesn't really look that way. Because the movie mainly focuses on action, we never really get to see Kristen Stewart make that awkward face, you know what I mean, so that was a plus. TJ Miller was in it, as some kind of odd man-baby scientist, so I thought that was pretty stupid. Overall it was a decent action sci fi flick. Just remember like a famous Jedi once said: "There's always a bigger fish." Filmbufftim on FB.
