Laura (40 KP) rated When Dimple Met Rishi in Books
Oct 21, 2017
I adored how cute this book was. The progression of Dimple and Rishi’s relationship as the got to know each other was wonderful. I especially liked how we got to see it from both points of view. This book made me giggle with glee, go all mushy at the cuteness and ultimately really root for the main characters. It’s been a while since a book had me this invested in a romance, especially a stand alone novel. As well as cute, this book was also funny. The humour was strong throughout, which really added to my overall enjoyment.

the 80s got an upgrade
this movie is a straight up blender of everything that was awesome about 80s movies, only amped up to 11 and given all the effects and production that just weren't possible back then.
it honestly felt to me like a serial to Flash Gordon, only fixing everything that made it cornball... yet somehow keeping the charm all that corny goodness delivered.
It's intense, funny, heartfelt, action packed, and addresses issues of family, sibling rivalry, and loss.
Highly recommended.

Amazing soundtrack (6 more)
could not stop laughing
Feelgood movie
Incredible visual scenes
Chris Pratt - what's not to love?
Extremely quotable
BABY GROOT
My favourite Marvel Heros at it again
I absolutely LOVED this film. Actually, I think I enjoyed it more than the first, which I didn't think was possible! It is brilliant, funny, witty - ( Baby Groot is adorable.) Since having seen this film, I have had the soundtrack on repeat - it is an instant mood booster, I have been quoting it non-stop, and I would gladly watch it again and again.

Improves on season 1 (1 more)
Calibre of performances
Great just got better
3 episodes into season 2 and I'm even more hooked than I was watching season 1. The action hits you straight after the 1st minute or 2 in episode 1 and your right back with the trio looking for God and hitting some pretty funny and gory obsticals on their way. Plot gets thicker and delves into some of the open ended and unanswered questions left from season 1. Overall if the rest of the season stays this strong it will be an amazing ride.

Flawless Drama
This show doesn't need a long review - it's too perfect. Too funny. Too clever. the chemistry between James Spader and William Shatner as Alan and Denny respectively draws you in and makes you wish they were your buddies, that you could hang out with them on the penthouse office balcony, talking philosophically about life with a cigar in one hand and a fine scotch whiskey in the other. The cast is superb and the writing brilliant...Thank you David E Kelly et al.
Sarah (7800 KP) rated Raising Steam: (Discworld Novel 40) in Books

Good but probably the weakest of the 3
Moist Von Lipwig is one of my favourite Discworld characters. I loved him in Going Postal, as he's a scoundrel and a bit of a rogue, but a charmingly funny and loveable one. My issue mainly with this is that despite stating numerous times throughout this book, Moist is no longer much of a scoundrel and is now pretty much domesticised, which is very disappointing.
However that said, it's still a fun, enjoyable read and take on the railway. I loved the addition of the goblins although i did still miss Gladys and Mr Pump.

tapestry100 (306 KP) rated Naughty Mabel Sees It All in Books
Aug 2, 2017
Naughty Mabel makes her return with this second volume, which I found a huge improvement over her first story (Nathan Lane is such a comedy genius, and for him to resort to fart humor, regardless of how funny kids will find it, left me disappointed). This time out, Mabel is seeing things, which makes her inherent naughtiness even worse, and until her parents can figure out why she's seeing things, Mabel continues to wreak havoc. Dan Krall's illustrations are perfect once again, and I'm actually now hoping that we'll be seeing more of Mabel in the future.

Bridget Jones is back
I didn't think another Bridget Jones film could possibly be good, but I'm pleased to say I was wrong.
This is the sequel Edge of Reason should've been. It's funny, heartwarming and all round lovely. Bridget is one of those endearing characters you can't help but love, despite the fact that Renee Zellweger is looking a little plastic nowadays, and Mark Darcy is adoringly awkward. I'm not a huge fan of romantic comedies but this has to be an exception. I cant believe anyone could watch this film and not feel warm & fuzzy inside.

Pixar do it again!
A very good and enjoyable film that all ages will love. The story sounded odd at first but it's a very cute film. It has a great 10 minute opening which is nearly silent and quite sad for a Pixar film. Once we get to the old guy getting up out of bed and setting off to fulfill a promise it actually becomes quite funny in places. Definitely one all ages will love. Once again the level of detail in the animation is amazing, they seem to set new levels with each new film!

I haven’t watched this in quite a while, and as last night was ‘Family Film Night’, and this was free on amazon prime, I thought we might as well watch it.
My 11 and 13 year olds thought it was hilarious. Honestly, I thought it was very funny too. It never gets old. And the Bohemian Rhapsody bit has to be one of my favourite parts in a film (like, ever!).
I don’t know whether this would get made now, but I’m glad it was made then! The whole ‘Shwing’ bit went down VERY well with my young teenaged/ pre-teen boys. Unsurprisingly!
