The Craggus (360 KP) rated Fantastic Four (2015) in Movies
Apr 24, 2019
We're pretty much dining on ashes at this point, but here's my #review of Fantastic Four (2015)...
It’s pretty much impossible to comment on Josh Trank’s “Fantastic Four” without reflecting on and acknowledging the behind the scenes troubles which plagued the movie, as they directly impact the finished product. It’s riddled with problems in the story, structure and pacing while the characterisation is all over the place, squandering some of Marvel’s finest characters and yet…I didn’t flat out hate it....

likable love interest

entertaining at best
i'm certainly biased because of my everlasting love for anton yelchin, and so i can't give it a lower rating than i have because i genuinely enjoyed it.
it was funny, interesting, and you do root for the main character. i went in expecting to hate it, because who wouldn't just by the concept? but you feel for him, and you kind of just want him to do what he needs to do.

Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Necessity's Child (Liaden Universe, #16) in Books
Mar 1, 2018
Yet another truly marvelous entry in the Liaden Universe series! I put off reading it, with great difficulty, until I had finished reading the book I had to hand when I acquired it. After starting it, though, I couldn't help but devour it in one day, all 297 pages. While the story stands happily alone, it left me feeling bereft at the end, as is usual when ending a Lee & Miller book. I simply hate leaving their world, and my next visit can't possibly come soon enough!

I really need to remember that if I wouldn't want to hang around with the main character, I'm not going to enjoy the book. The girl is an idiot I would ditch in less time than it would take her to update her Facebook status. I'm assuming this thing was ghostwritten, as is normal for most books released by actors. I hate seeing an actor whose work I enjoy associated with something so puerile. I hope she gets some honest acting work again soon!
My new most used App
Seeing as I have dived head first into the SmashBomb Network, this is an app I go to a lot. I am very old school so I do not like writing long form reviews on my phone but for giving Kudo points and for checking what people I am following have done - it is superb. And literally it is nothing against the app when it comes to typing in the app. I hate typing any long piece of text on my phone.
Katie Guinn (34 KP) rated Matched (Matched #1) in Books
Dec 7, 2018
I hate getting involved in series. I don't like being forced into commitment. This book received 3 stars because it turned out to be better than I expected, but at the end it was still a bit unoriginal and relied too heavily on the ubiquitous love triangle. To be fair, the writing was pleasant, although the characters felt a little two dimensional. But YA is not my preferred genre. If I do decide to pick up the other two books, it won't be anytime soon.
Lee (2222 KP) rated A Ghost Story (2017) in Movies
Jul 21, 2018
Recently added to Netflix is 2017 movie A Ghost Story, starring Casey Affleck. From A24, the studio responsible for The Witch and Heteditary, so I was very dubious about watching this! A poignantly beautiful tale of life, death, time and grief. With minimal dialogue, it is definitely a very weird film (a 5 minute scene of someone literally just eating pie in silence?!), and many people will just hate it. For me, there was just enough thought provoking and beautifully shot scenes to keep me happy.

I created a video explaining my slow decent into hating this series, book by book, for your viewing pleasure:
This is the book that broke the camels back. I started to hate this series from here on. If book 5 got your hopes up for something special, prepare for them to be ground into the mud. It's the same damn book. They all are. He just changes the amount of surrealism sprinkles he uses for each book.

This film is HILARIOUS!!
I swear i was so ready to hate this. Im not a fan of jack black or The Rock, but the kids wanted to see it and I’m a huge Dr Who fan so gave it a go in support of Karen Gillan.
I was proved so wrong!! I dont want to give away anything but it is just so funny! A modern take on a classic movie with loads if genuine LOL moments ??

I am a huge fan of the original Jumanji movie and was sure I was going to hate this new version. I was wrong. Rather than remaking the '95 version, the writers chose to update it. Very smart. Yes, a lot of it is silly but that adds to the movie's charm. All the actors did a good job of getting into character but in my opinion, Jack Black does the best job of disappearing into his role. That's just something you'll have to see for yourself!
