Very well done from this author and I'm glad i got to review it
starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Eve of Darkness (Marked, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
I was expecting a lot better then it was, however it wasn't a bad book just got confusing and the characters kind of annoyed me. I did love cain and abel I will admit and Eve rocked but their trio conflict annoyed me. I felt like neither man seriously wanted to be with her and it was just a game to them. I enjoyed it but found myself fighting to make it through to the end and glad that it was over.

So bad it's good
Betty White is 96!
Sometimes you are just in the mood for a crocodiles eating people movie and not that stupid Sharknado crap. This movie actually has a great cast including Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman and Oliver Platt and has some genuine funny/scary moments.
You could do a lot worse in this genre with other lesser films.
I quite enjoy this one and HAPPY 96TH BIRTHDAY TO BETTY WHITE!

A good if far fetched idea, putting it lightly, handled very well in this sci-fi/action film. I thought there was going to be slightly more to it, and kept waiting for just a bit more to happen, without quite reaching my expectations. It's very similar in a lot of ways to Deja Vu. It has a good cast and the plot will keep you interested for the duration. Overall an entertaining film, but might not stand well with repeated viewings.

Very dull
It's in such a rush to get to the point where it can be a tragic love story, with our two young lovers on the run, that the movie completely forgets about plausibility and doesn't give us any time to believe in any of the feelings and emotions being experienced. I haven't read the book that this awful movie is based on but I can imagine that it goes into much needed detail a lot more than this does.

Warriors, come out to play
Ok maybe I missed something? I'm not quite sure about the cult status for this. It's a decent film with a young cast, and probably quite different at the time it was made. However it has a very simple plot, less fighting than I expected and a bit repetitive. I liked the almost comic "uniforms" for the different gangs, some of the fight scenes are pretty good, but overall I was expecting a lot more.

A little bit action and a whole lot of nostalgia
Very possible future society. Full story that ends with twists and turns, with a completely relatable protagonist. Wade's behavior and perspectives are realistic and attainable - he reminds me of my 18 year old in many ways. Also, if you do the audiobook, Wil Wheaton narrates, and he's a wonderful narrator.
Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Seasons in Tabletop Games
Mar 8, 2018
I really like Seasons. It’s a chaotic game, but it’s manageable. Especially with two players. The more players, the less control you have.
The timing element makes this game really interesting. You can manipulate the game and your opponents a lot by choosing or not choosing certain cards or dice. That, plus the card effects themselves and especially the effects of the Familiars, make this game very interactive.
