The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
1992 | Family, Sci-Fi

"Let’s see, number two… see I don’t know what order to put these in, but let’s have [laughs] — it’s going to be a really weird top five — Muppet Christmas Carol. It’s just so good. It’s got a bit of everything: brilliant characterization, great songs; just beautifully shot. A warm, cozy, nice feeling, I think is what that film is. And Michael Caine is good. I think it’s great the way they used a lot of the different Muppet characters in the story, and they kind of fit with the characters — you know, you’ve got the old guys as the ghosts; it just all worked so well. Beautifully done. Love it."

National Lampoon's Animal House (1978)
National Lampoon's Animal House (1978)
1978 | Comedy

"I gotta get a really good comedy in there, and I don’t know if there’s ever been a better comedy — for my funny bones — than Animal House. All the laughs they crammed into that movie — I don’t know that it’s been beat. All the different characters; the way you basically, again, you like the anti-heroes — you like the guys who were in college and they were the slackers and all that. Just so many laughs in that movie. For me, if I’m flipping through the channels and I see Animal House on, I could sit down and watch that movie at any time, any day."

"Then I’m gonna go with the Holy Grail. I think these movies always get pushed aside as being silly and yes, they are silly, which is one of the intents of the movies. It was just, as a child, and as I grew up and watched them as an adult, they were one of the reasons why I was like, “Oh, you don’t have to think the way that everybody thinks” — these guys just did whatever they wanted to do, and their imaginations ran wild. They were always a huge inspiration, and so that movie was such a great capsule of that. And so funny. So good."

Fast Five (2011)
Fast Five (2011)
2011 | Action, Drama, Mystery
It's finally happened...I think....I think I...like these movies

All joking aside, Fast Five is a well paced, and well executed action film. The humble street racing elements of the first few movies have been pretty much dropped at this point. There's a bit where Vin Diesel and his crew are taking down a whole army of bad guys with military grade weapons, and I just found myself thinking "how the fuck did we get here" and you know what? I'm not even mad.

Also, Diesel shouting "THIS IS BRAZIL" right in Dwayne Johnson's inexplicably sweaty bald face is next level unintentionally hilarious and I love it.

Blake Griffin recommended Superbad (2007) in Movies (curated)

 
Superbad (2007)
Superbad (2007)
2007 | Comedy

"It’s probably gonna be a very comedy-heavy list, but, one of my favorite movies is Superbad. Big Judd Apatow fan. I kinda always have been, still am, and that movie actually came out, like, my senior year of high school, so it was kinda like the perfect timing for me. It was right before me going to college, and if you remember Superbad, that’s what their whole quest was. Jonah Hill, Judd Apatow, Michael Cera, all those guys, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader — those are all still, to this day, some of my favorite comedians and actors to watch. That’s a big one for me."

I like to read a menage book every so often, be it m/m/m or m/m/f, but I find it sometimes very confusing to keep up with who's who and who's doing what with all the names the author's have to use so you can picture it.

Despite that, I did like all of these guys individually and I liked the commitment they all had to each other. They were in love with each other and you could tell.

I must admit, though, that I like to read the relationship happen and I didn't get to do that in this, but oh well.

Asher has grown on me so much over the last couple of books and I enjoyed reading this. It was so cute, the relationship that popped up between Asher and Sticks/Remy. Proper guys chat and stuff. I also quite liked the Elisa thing, too, though it added an extra level of crap to lies she was telling. BUT I wanted them to get together so badly, I didn't care. I've even just staying d up till gone 1am so I can find out what happens with these two and I'm a happy bunny. They got there in the end.

Off to start the next book in the series!!

Huh...2.5 stars.

As mentioned in my previous N.R. Walker review, I seem to love all her books...apart from this one. I don't know what it was about it but i was a little bored by it.

I don't know if it's due to the other M/M series I've just read, where they were rather naughty questionable straight guys who ended up in gay relationships but this paled in comparison to the excitement I felt for the other stories.

It's probably unfair to compare them but that's the kind of mood I'm in right now.

It was far too sweet and gentle for me.

4.5 stars.

I thought some of this book was ridiculous but i fell in love with it anyway. Especially Roman and his relationship with Kasha. Oh, and her robotic arm. Not that i didnt love the rest of the cast but those two were my favourites. These girls got up to some right mischief but still managed to win two amazingly hot guys. I was in stitches quite a few times with their exploits and didnt want to put the book down at all.

Definitely recommend this if you like contemporary romances with quite a lot of humour in them. I look forward to reading more books by these authors.

3.5 stars, mainly because Suzanne's books can be too long for my liking a lot of the time and because I got fed up of reading the sex scenes.

I'm pretty picky about my shifter books, preferring vampires to shapeshifters most days, and this one was good but I felt it went on too long.

Character wise I think I liked Marcus the most, though I couldn't really explain why. I also liked Dante. In fact, most of the guys were pretty cool but I did have favourites.

Other than wanting to read book 4, Marcus' book, I haven't decided if I want to read the rest of the series yet.
