You've got mail! This is the first book I've ever read in which someone receives a penis by mail.
Stephanie is after Kenny Mancuso who shot his friend Moogey Bues. Then Kenny skedaddles and Moogey is shot again (only this time he goes to the morgue). The creepy undertaker Spiro Stiva enlists our heroine's help with tracking down 24 (count 'em) caskets.
This book is like the rest in the series: breezy, completely unbelievable, and ridiculously appealing. Seriously, Grandma Mazur is such a gem! I think a series with her as a main character would be a ball! More chemistry with Joe Morelli, more explosions, this book is hilarious and a bit unsettling... Stephanie is faced with a home invader who leaves body part and the aforementioned penis mailing. Oh, and former ho, Lula, begins her stint as a filing clerk. I read this book in less than a day. Hope I didn't spoil it for ya.

Like a small dog that an old lady would sneak into a hospital, Venom had plenty of bark leading up to its release but not much bite. I love Tom Hardy, he's one of my favorite actors in the business right now, but even he couldn't save this movie. I feel like they did a great job with Tom Hardy and the Venom character itself, I dug it and got some good laughs out of it. For me though, the story they were stuck in was the real parasite. This is one of those movies I'm sure many will enjoy and many will hate. I always hope everyone enjoys every movie they watch though, no matter my opinion. The voice in my head says to wrap this rambling up so we can go eat, so let me finish with this. Here's to dreaming of a world where one day humans, with all of our opinions and differences, can peacefully intertwine and be symbiotic.

This was really a mixed bag of stories. Some were great, some were meh, and some were boring AF. This book is a collection of stories from other, very minor characters during A New Hope.
By far, the beginning of the book is the strongest. One of my favorites was the story of the guy that didn't shoot down the 'empty' pod. It reminded me of Spaced.
The meh and boring stories were really unnecessary. Have you ever wanted to know about an illicit affair occurring between a Stormtrooper and an Officer, passing messages between each other via a mouse droid? That's going to be a no from me, dawg. Have you ever wanted to know the story behind the trash monster? ME NEITHER.
It ended strong, I liked the rebel alliance stories. One of my other favorites was told from Biggs' perspective, and I've always loved Biggs.
Overall, an ok mix of stories.

Another Reynolds Success
Meet a new kind of action hero. Six untraceable agents, totally off the grid. They've buried their pasts so they can change the future...
Not sure where to start on this review without giving too much away...
Firstly Reynolds pulls off yet another solid performance. He is obviously still making up for his failings as Green Lantern!!! There is just something about this man and lethal weapons that leave me panting (in anticipation)!
6 unlikely people band together for the soul purpose of overthrowing a horrendously evil dictator, but there is a whole movie full of planning and action before the final scenes happen!
The opening car scene is awesome! The fighting and action scenes are also incredible, and kind of gross, hope you’re not squeamish... and of course it comes with the Reynolds humour, so expect a few giggles.
Good casting, well directed and acted. An overall rather enjoyable film!

Erika (17788 KP) rated Jumanji: The Next Level (2019) in Movies
Dec 14, 2019
I was fairly excited that @Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) got a sequel, that film was a pleasant surprise a few years ago.
The entire gang was back, even the people you didn't expect to make an appearance. The film used the same formula as before, but it wasn't nearly as effective. There were little to no laughs for me, it was all very much the same and very predictable. Obviously, since it used the same formula as the last one.
There was nothing good, nor bad about the film. But, what is telling for me is that, while I was entertained watching it on Thursday afternoon, I had COMPLETELY forgotten that I had seen this by Friday morning.
When I was reminded I saw it by a coworker that asked me how it was, the one scene that came to mind was the mid-credit scene. I do hope they make a third (and then stop) to resolve the story completely.

Colors Of The Wind
Pocahontas- is a strange movie, cause it came out after "The Lion King". And the movie's after "The Lion King" were stange. What im saying is after "The Lion King", disney decided to go really strange/a huge left turn/didn't expect that/disappointed and overall a huge downfall. But i will get to those movies. Oh this is one of them.
Anyways the plot:
This is the Disney animated tale of the romance between a young American Indian woman named Pocahontas (Irene Bedard) and Capt. John Smith (Mel Gibson), who journeyed to the New World with other settlers to begin fresh lives. Her powerful father, Chief Powhatan, disapproves of their relationship and wants her to marry a native warrior. Meanwhile, Smith's fellow Englishmen hope to rob the Native Americans of their gold. Can Pocahontas' love for Smith save the day.
The songs I dont remember, the plot was so-so, the charcters were intresting and thats pretty much it.

Below The Surface
Underwater- is a highly entertaining sci-fi horror movie. Mixing sci-fi with horror with a underwater creature. The cast was really good, i liked Kristen Stewart, T.J. Miller, Vincent Cassel and John Gallagher Jr. The downfall was Jessica Henwick she was really annoying. He charcter was really annoying and wouldnt shut up. The plot/story was intresting, the sci-fi was good and the horror was just there/not really though.
The plot: Disaster strikes more than six miles below the ocean surface when water crashes through the walls of a drilling station. Led by their captain, the survivors realize that their only hope is to walk across the sea floor to reach the main part of the facility. But they soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they come under attack from mysterious and deadly creatures that no one has ever seen.
Like i said a good movie.
