Ross (3284 KP) rated Elantris: Tenth Anniversary Author's Definitive Edition in Books
Sep 4, 2017
Elantris is probably the best place to start for those of us new to the Cosmere. The story develops at a good pace from a position of a lot of unknowns, but the reveals come at a good pace and are explained without being rammed home.
This is fairly typical Sanderson storytelling/world-building but for me the magic system was not quite as well developed/tangible as those in other worlds of the Cosmere.

Very intriguing story. (5 more)
Game play is a lot of fun .
It is a genuinely scary experience.
There's no shortage of things to find, collect, kill, or be killed by.
Wearing a diaper is advisable.
The storyline kept me hooked right up until the end.
Awesome, but could have been called anything...

No Such Thing As Too Much
Described as "the sound of four men chopping down the Joshua Tree," Achtung Baby combined cutting edge (excuse the pun) production with the personal and genuine performance that U2 are known for.
With five hit singles, some of the remaining songs only seem weak in comparison. On their own, album tracks like Acrobat and Love Is Blindness outshine a lot of songs that followed them.

There is a lot of sick and twisted-ness in here which I always love, but it's the story and the great set of characters in this book that really got me into this! There are also added bonuses for Stephen King fans with many subtle references to different books, showing that this story also takes place in his father's universe. PS. Be sure to read "a note on the type" at the end :-)

Horrifyingly good
This is another great film from Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg (also director of Patriots Day). It's tense and truly horrifying to see what these people went through. For myself although I know of the incident, I didn't know a lot of the detail or back story so it was good to see this covered. There are some great effects, and some great acting from a very well known cast.

There is a lot to say about this book, but I don't like giving spoilers. I will say that it is in my top ten favorite books of all time.
It gives you a disturbing sense of being both a child and an adult at the same time, equally amazed and horrified by events taking place. It makes you miss a place you've never been, while being worried you might have to go one day.

Contains spoilers, click to show
spidey is back and has some new tech its a fun rollercoaster ride but it seemed like it was aimed at a younger audience and the tech he has seemed more like ironman on the whole its a fun film and has some real class actors which help but i was really expecting a lot more from this film
Dean (6927 KP) rated Children of the Corn (1984) in Movies
May 2, 2018
I'm very disappointed with this! After hearing of it for so long and from a big Stephen King fan, I couldn't believe how poor this is! Looking very dated, thought it was an early 70's film not mid 80's! It's drawn out way too long even at 90mins. It's not scary, just weird. There was a re-make recently not to mention 7 sequels!! Hopefully they are a lot better!

Mixed genre
Catchy tunes
Weird but addictive
I didn't realise this was the group that did "stressed out" which i like a lot. The words don't always seem to make sense but that's party of the weirdly addictive effect it has. The "melody" is catchy and the mixture of different styles of music, from hip hop, rock and pop, to reggae, rap and indie music. It just makes it more interesting.

The set-up had me hooked for most of the short story, and then it got a <s>little</s> lot silly, and then it ended. So now I don't know what to think. I mean, I liked it, but overall it left me disappointed in where it went.
