Mothergamer (1536 KP) rated Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch in Video Games

Fantastic fantasy role playing game
I love this game so much and I've played it twice. The story is quite good and the game play is a lot of fun. The artwork of the game is beautiful and the music for it is great. There are tons of side quests to do along with the main story and just exploring is a lot of fun. It's a wonderful game that is enjoyable to play.

Good graphics for the time period
I think I have played this game more than any other in my lifetime. You get to play as any of your favorite troops including rebels, Imperials, even Gungans and Wookies and build up your encampment before attacking others. A lot of resource gathering can be a bit tedious, but doesn't take away from the fun.
Came out relatively soon after Starcraft, so it feel a lot like that.
Had a subsequent expansion pack, The CLone Campaigns, which was released before Episode II in 2002.

Brilliant acting
Krysten Ritter and David Tennant
Another brilliant Marvel TV series
Jessica Jones follows Daredevil as another Netflix original about a non-mainstream Marvel superhero. It also follows the same path that brings out the dark and gritty side of the Marvel universe. Not everything is black and white here, there's a lot of grey area and as a result the series poses a lot of questions you wouldn't get in the films.
Krysten Ritter is brilliant as Jones and is supported by a brilliant cast that includes David Tennant as the increasingly disturbing Kilgrave.

No where near as good as the trailer made it seem. It was interesting to learn if the crime but I would rather watch a documentary that goes into the factual details of the case and the police's theories rather than theories which were a bit out there and just put forward by actors and actresses, which are just random members of the public. The Buzzfeed Unsolved episode on Jon Benet is a lot more factually interesting and goes into a lot more detail. If you want to learn about the case I would say watch that instead.

This book does a lot of great things. The descriptions of the characters, settings, and the actions of the characters are very well done. There is a lot to each character.
There is a point while Ceony is within Magician Thane's heart that becomes a little hard to follow; sometimes I had to reread sentences or paragraphs. But I think it was done intentionally and effectively. It works for the story. Ceony is new to magic. She's not prepared for what she gets herself into, so those small bits of confusion actually helped my understand her perspective better.

Funny and Heartwarming
This movie is based on a true story about a young girl trying to get into the WWE. It had a lot of really great funny moments. Paige isn't the typical girl that the WWE normally hires. She struggles a lot, and I liked that the movie showed how hard she had to work for her dream. I also loved her brothers story line. It showed that sometimes you can't achieve everything you wanted, but you can still live a valuable and happy life. Definitely worth a watch if you're looking for a good comedy.

I would rate this a solid good. Mediocre but enjoyable.
Jules is your non average high school senior. Focusing only on getting into Brown and the newspaper. That is until the new guy, a former boy band singer, comes to school. Now she must decide what is more important. With a lot of problems, misteps, and mistakes Jules must learn what it means to be a good friend and a team player.
While I enjoyed the premise and the cute couples I found myself skimming to get to the end faster.
Perfect for those who want a lot of drama with their stories.

Dean (6925 KP) rated Titanic 2 (2010) in Movies

One of the low budget late night films on the SyFy channel you know will be bad, but you just have to see how bad! It could have been a lot worse, but the minimum budget really effects a film like this that uses a lot of CGI. The effects for the ship at sea are very basic. It doesn't feature a great cast Brooke Burns is the most famous I think, and she is a model! It's a mix of disaster films including Titanic, Poseidon and The day after tomorrow. Only watch if you like cheesy films!
