Kimmic (814 KP) rated Hook (1991) in Movies
Feb 21, 2018
LOVE THIS FILM!!!
I can watch this film every day for a week and still love it as much on the Sunday as I did on the Monday!
Robin Williams yet again MAKES this film! His battle with Captain Hook, and learning about his past...
It is funny, light hearted and a perfect film to watch with the family.
Also considering the time it was made, aside from the croc, the effects in this are really good! But I think that the croc looks fake on purpose... or is that just me?

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Cat Got Your Diamonds (Kitty Couture Mystery #1) in Books

Cat Got Your Diamonds is an excellent start to the new Kitty Couture Mystery series. Lacy is funny, clever heroine, and I really enjoyed reading about her exploits. After encountering an intruder in her shop after hours, Lacy goes to get the police only to return with them and find the intruder dead. Finding herself suspected of murder, Lacy does just what we would expect of her. She decides to investigate.
With a great sense of humor and an interesting supporting cast, animal lovers, cozy lovers, and just about anyone else should love this book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated The Strange Case of Origami Yoda (Origami Yoda, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Dwight is the weird kid in sixth grade until he creates an origami Yoda and starts giving out advice. The funny thing is, the advice seems to be good. Is it magic or just luck? The book is really a collection of short stories with a quick climax near the end. Many of them were heartwarming, but I wanted it to be building toward something long before it did.

Nikita (202 KP) rated Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) in Movies
Feb 12, 2018
cast chemistry (2 more)
fun story
quotable one liners
Better than expected
I was not expecting much when I heard they were making a new 'Jumanji' film. Fear filled my head of a remake, nothing could top the first.
However i found this film pleasantly surprising. Feel this film could stand alone and not be constantly compared to the first.
The films plot was predictable but still fun and joyful. The cast was what made this film great. Their chemistry and dialogue was very funny and held the film together.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Sex Drive (2008) in Movies
Jun 10, 2018
Yes it's an in your face rude, crude teen sex comedy with a lot of nudity. If you're easy offended then you will be. It's pretty funny in places and just silly in others. However it comes across as a fun film that the cast enjoyed making. The unrated version of the film is quite odd to, as the director will tell you! Not quite up there with American Pie, Euro Trip etc but it should still cause quite a few laughs. That sure is an awesome car!
Dean (6927 KP) rated Hancock (2008) in Movies
Jun 5, 2018
A cool blockbuster film with a good cast and great SFX but it just doesn't land a knockout punch for me. It all starts well enough with a funny take on of all the superhero films with a guy called Hancock who causes destruction whereever he goes and becomes hated for it. There are some great action scenes and very good SFX but the final third of the film has a twist and takes the film in a totally different direction to the rest of the film. Well worth seeing though!
Dean (6927 KP) rated Tropic Thunder (2008) in Movies
Jun 30, 2018 (Updated Jun 30, 2018)
A big budget all star cast comedy!? Well it was quite a good idea of having a bunch of actors filming in the jungle, going for realism when actually they are under attack from a local drug cartel! Almost spoofs parts of platoon, Rambo along the way. It does have some very funny scenes and laugh out loud moments. Other times it's just a bit too silly. Robert Downey Jr was a very good surprise addition as was Tom Cruise as a Hollywood studio executive! Well worth checking out.
Dean (6927 KP) rated She's the Man (2006) in Movies
Jun 30, 2018
I was a little worried this would be quite a lame chick flick that would appeal more to the teenage generation. No doubt that is the target audience, but with a decent cast including a surprise show up of Vinnie Jones (Ex-Pro footballer) and high production backing, this is actually quite funny. Amanda Bynes was great, don't think I've even heard of her before? It might be too cute for some still, but I actually ended up laughing a good few times and enjoyed it. They even had some Chelsea posters in the bedroom!!

One liners (3 more)
Varied cast
Comedy value
Action adventure twist.
Laugh out loud funny.
The trailer didnt really do this film justice. I loved this film, and was unexpectedly funnier than I anticipated. Especially the bullet extraction scene. Also the, one liners were brilliant.
I watched this film twice in a short space of time, something I don't do unless I really like it.
Have been recommending it to all of my friends as a comic, laid back, gaming film. Should appeal to boardgame and escape room nerds like me too.

Interesting concept
Funny
Loved this book. So easy to get into and made me laugh out loud quite a few times! My only problem is how short it is! I know there are sequels which are just as good, but I still would love to read more of it. Would definitely recommend to anyone who doesn’t have much time to read or anyone who just wants a good laugh. It’s been years since I last read it, I think it might be time to read it again!
