Adrian VanderMolen (11 KP) rated Happy Death Day (2017) in Movies
Feb 17, 2018
This movie exceeded my expectations. I saw the trailer and said well this looks really cool but it looks like it is one of those movies that is just going to suck but you know what? It was freaking fantastic. There were a lot of times where you think it's all figured out but it's really not or is it? It's a roller coaster of emotions. Expect the unexpected.

Feb 17, 2018
When I heard of this I expected something along the line of Cloverfield, The Mist. It does have a bit in common with those, but there isn't a lot of action in this or many scenes with the creatures, which was a disappointment. It's still a good film, very character driven with some good set pieces. I would have preferred a bit more focus on the Monsters though.

Dana (24 KP) rated So Long, See You Tomorrow in Books
Mar 23, 2018
This novel was okay for me. It was very slow for most of the novel and nothing much happens. There are a lot of characters, some of them we don't really get names for. There are changes in speakers who are too alike, so we don't know which story we are following in that moment. I enjoyed some of the descriptions of the novel but it isn't one much for me.

The Marinated Meeple (1853 KP) rated The Gifted in TV
Feb 20, 2018
Had such a good start, but turned into a soap opera
Really great premise, and the opening episode was a good starting point. unfortunately the drama that unfolded was more about bluster and posturing and the kind of drama that happens with a lot of talk and not enough doing. The dialog is average at best. I reluctantly finished the fist season to see if it got better.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Sherlock Holmes (2009) in Movies
Feb 20, 2018
Much better than I had expected. A big budget, action packed, fun new vision of Sherlock Holmes. A good well picked cast, great visuals, quite a lot of cgi and plenty of humour. Nice to see Guy Ritchie do more than just East London Gangster films! Also features the quickest journey from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge ever, artistic licence for you!! Sequel out next year!

Crystal (148 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in Books
Jun 9, 2018
I feel this books target audience was 11 year olds. Since that is the age we meet Harry it makes sense to start the series that way. A lot of older readers just getting introduced may find it too juvenile. I recommend everyone who feels this way to just get through it. It is worth it and opens the door to the wizarding world. It truly is magical.

Dean (6927 KP) rated The Break-Up (2006) in Movies
Jun 20, 2018
A very funny Rom-com without being too soppy. A lot of funny scenes that both sexes should enjoy as a couple try to get back at each other over their break up. A film many will relate to as the plans to out do each other keep escalating all the time as neither want to leave their apartment. Similar to War of the roses, What happens in Vegas.

This isn't a full-length novel...it's a novella...that said:
It felt a bit rushed! I wish there was more back-story! I am thinking that there will be a lot more in the first, full-length book (Witchling) which I will be starting soon :c)
A good introduction & hiya to the character though...I just really want to read their full stories :c)
3/5 stars :c)
