Dean (6927 KP) rated Fifty Shades Darker (2017) in Movies
Dec 15, 2017
Still a mess
I'm not sure what to make of this? It's not a romantic film, neither erotic despite the content and not dramatic. None of the actions of the Characters really make a lot of sense. Despite watching the extended cut of the film it really just feels like a mish mash of story lines that never really come to anything? Strange one.

This is probably one of the first few, if not the first, podcast I actively followed.
If you like things a little strange (ok, a lot strange), a little Lovecraftian, a bit outside of the box, and with a bit of kitch, this is definitely the podcast for you.
There are also strip books, as well as original story books available at any bookseller.

Cast chemistry
Hits the right notes
I found this surprisingly funny and enjoyed the sound track for the film. I'm not a big fan of Musicals and a lot of singing in films, but this still felt more like a Rom/com. You can tell the cast had a blast making this film. Give it a whirl.

No Isla Fisher
Wish I hadn't seen this
I quite liked the original film and hoped this would be more of the same. It's a shame Isla Fisher didn't return. Some of the scenes are ridiculous even for a "magic" film, some plot lines don't make a lot of sense. Overall it felt like a quick lower budget sequel.

Lot of potential
(-)_(-)
This book had alot of potential, but it was terribly hard to get into. Ididn't like that I couldn't really develope a better connection with the three queens and also how nothing really happened until the last 50 pages. However the end did peak my interest and I have high hopes for the second one

The Dino Bots Just Dissapear
Transformed Into A Decent Film In The Series
I actually quite enjoyed this film in the series,
They have made a decent film with a lot of humour and grand scenes. Would of liked a bit more of the dino bots they just kind of go missing after a while

Really great book, but BEWARE... if being inside the head of a pedophile creep is too much for you, you might want to skip some of the pages. Luckily there is a LOT more to it without the sick and twisted boy-lover's thoughts ruining the whole thing. It's something you don't get when you see the movie so it surprised me. Other than that, GREAT book!
Ross (3284 KP) rated The Bands of Mourning: A Mistborn Novel in Books
Sep 11, 2017
For me the second age of the mistborn (Wax and Wayne) pale in comparison with the original trilogy. However, Bands of Mourning was a definite improvement over the previous 2 books. A lot of the post-Harmony history starts to be uncovered and some very interesting things hinted at. I am looking forward to the final second age book, and am expecting some fairly significant developments.
Ross (3284 KP) rated Warbreaker in Books
Sep 11, 2017
Quite a complicated magic system to get your head round, but it isn't done to death (it is hinted at early but is only really used in earnest quite a lot later in the book). There are aspects of other parts of the cosmere hinted at here (the gods being similar to those in elantris, using material items for powers). A good standalone contribution to the universe.
BookCritics (259 KP) rated Beard In Mind in Books

I have so much love for this book. As always we get an unorthodox, singular story with a lot of cleverness and humor from Penny Reid. She is becoming one of my favorites fast and, God, can we have Billy's story soon?
