Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Worth It in Books

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.

Ten year old Marty loves his brother Steve. But Steve has been acting very weird recently and Marty is about to reveal the shocking truth as to why...
Written from the perspective of Marty this is a well written and gruesome little novel of how situations can quickly escalate and spiral out of control. Fast paced, the darkest of humour and plenty of blood and gore keep this twisted story going at full pelt for its brief 137pages. Highly recommended for those that have a strong disposition and cast iron gut!
Now where did I leave my bowling bag?

Had read alot of mixed reviews for this movie but was open to giving it a try.First of all this is the weakest of all the DC movies so far for me (yes I even preferred suicide squad to this)
It had its moments and the humour at times was ok but there was alot that let this movie down.Mark Strong's bad guy was truly awful and was about as menacing as a chocolate teapot,zachary levi looked uncomfortable at times as shazam and as for the seven deadly sins gargoyles..just plain awful and hokey looking.

Very good. Not great though.
A host of new characters, some reunions with old characters, some lovely Easter Eggs. But a rather tired plot, and a 20minute lull two thirds of the way through.
The animation once again is absolutely phenomenal, Pixar just keep pushing the boundaries and improving on what is achievable with animation.
There was some humour throughout, but a lot less than usual with Toy Story, and to be honest a lot less charm than we're used to.
And those freaky bloody dummies. They creep me right out.
A good family film, but did not quite meet my (admittedly high) expectations.

Wonderfully daft
After watching the tv series, I knew what to expect from the book and plot wise, there is very little difference between the two. But as always, the book is a lot better than the series.
I’m a big fan of Terry Pratchett, and this is a wonderful story showcasing his storytelling talents. It’s fun, entertaining, and full of British humour which comes across a lot better in the book than it does in the show. It’s a great story with some brilliant characters, although I do think it’s a rather unthreatening irreverent take on the end of the world, but i suppose that’s Pratchett all over.

Political and Correctness were the two words far from writers Parker & Stone when they created this feature length satirically biting look at life through the eyes of Cartman and his friends.
Cursing is the topic on the menu and Canada is to blame (isn't it always) and the profanity on show here although extreme and extended is no different to the controversial hit show of the same.
It's incredibly and consistently funny and I can see how it would appeal to some, just not this reviewer as the humour on show just was not the kind that amuses me, and differs from the, in my opinion, far superior Team America.

I saw this movie in the cinema with my husband. The first half of the movie is very crude but hilarious, it's not the type of things that you would hear from 12 year olds but everything they said and did was shocking but that's what made it so funny. I liked that they reminded us that they were children as well, like when they were invited to the party they said they'd have to ask their mum and nobody battered an eyelid. The crude humour did die down towards the end but it was still funny. I would definitely recommend it.

A touching Rom-Com
Another great film from Richard Curtis who did @Love Actually (2003) @Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) @Notting Hill (1999) This is very similar in style. Typically British humour and fun characters set within a story about love, family and life in general.
A man discovers he can travel back to earlier moments of his life to make changes but often with unexpected consequences. More of a Rom-Drama but if you are a fan of the other films you'll enjoy this just as much. Also check out @The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)
