Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2623 KP) rated Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A delightfully funny, clever, and creative picture book about a town where the weather brings the food. As good as the movie inspired by this book is, they share nothing in common. So grab this delightful picture book and sit back. I think giggles are on the menu.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2623 KP) rated Ramona the Pest (Ramona, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Ramona is thrilled to finally be starting kindergarten. But the first year of school is filled with all kinds of trials for the anxious kid. This kid's book is just as funny and tender as I remembered. Well worth a read or reread no matter what age you are.

Jackson Jones goes from hero to zero when he gets braces. But that's also how he finds out about the super spies operating out of his elementary school. This book is funny and creative while still delivering a credible plot (well, for a spy spoof). Kids of all ages will love it.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2623 KP) rated Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Moxy has one more day to read Stuart Little, her summer homework assignment, before 4th grade starts. Will she actually get it done, or will she finds ways to put it off again? As a procrastinator at heart, I found this book way too true and very funny.

A wonderfully quirky movie about Love and Ex's in a Musical World. (with Patchouli Stink and ponytails)
have you ever gone through a break up... this movie feels like a breakup in the best possible way. It's funny absurd and yet still has the right amount of heart. Kinda like a love song.... worthy of the time, unlike most of my ex's....
here's an alternate movie poster.

Short but sweet, naughty and nice, and sooooo funny, Tiffany Reisz has done it again. A brilliant read for an afternoon, and it's really easy to get along with that its as if you already know the characters.
Such a thoughtful wedding pressie from a character from another book ( sorry, i am not giving it away ;-))
I love the Bell hop, I think I might need more of him x

Dean (6927 KP) rated Happy Gilmore (1996) in Movies
Jun 29, 2018
It's ok with a few funny scenes, not quite sure why it's held in such high regard by many?! The sight of Sandler losing it with the clubs and smashing stuff up is over used. A has the odd moment that will make you laugh out loud, but a long shot short of a classic! Odd to see Ben Stiller in such a small, weird role in this?
Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated KL Zombi (2013) in Movies
Jul 3, 2018
Cheesy B-movie
The acting was really cheesy. I'm not sure if it was intentional but it felt like it took away from the storyline. Still funny but I think I little too much for a zombie/gore movie. The main little boy was overly and randomly expressive at odd points. If you enjoy b-movies, I'd still probably watch this at least once but definitely not a second time.

The theme is fun / funny (2 more)
Vikings are good.
when you are attacked you don't lose much
Good beginning deck builder
This is a good game, but not a great one... it's ok / meh 2 player, but shines with 4, The parts and pieces are ok, we got the deluxe version from KS and it's well made, but I'm glad to have the upgrade.

Worth it for the car chase scene alone!
Tarantino's half of Grindhouse (other half Planet Terror , also very good) seems to have been forgotten, but deserves another look.
Kurt Russell carries the weight of the film and has a lot of funny dialogue.
The car chase scene as well as some of the barroom bits are worth watching. I actually really liked this movie.
