Original, there is a lot of parallels from books like Narnia and Harry Potter but used to his owns twists and made a world of his own and did it well. (0 more)
Went a little too fast and wish we had a bit more detail on the antagonist. (0 more)

Ross (3284 KP) rated Arrow - Season 4 in TV

Arrow  - Season 4
Arrow - Season 4
2015 | Drama
Season 4 was a bit of a drop in quality, the antagonist Damien Dhark (or some other spelling) being much more hammy and cheesy than previously. It says a lot of someone can out-ham John Barrowman! Dharkkkhk (or whatever) is able to control people through mystical powers and seems unstoppable and hell-bent on taking control of the city by any means necessary. There are some good moments within the season, but in general it is a definite step-down and more of the same.

My new most used App
Seeing as I have dived head first into the SmashBomb Network, this is an app I go to a lot. I am very old school so I do not like writing long form reviews on my phone but for giving Kudo points and for checking what people I am following have done - it is superb. And literally it is nothing against the app when it comes to typing in the app. I hate typing any long piece of text on my phone.

"The prince and the pauper unfriended each other because neither could stand the other's political status updates."
I absolutely loved this book, and i think it came around at a perfect time in my life. Its a quick and easy read and kept me entertained the entire way through. This sharp, satirical, look at how modern twenty somethings are moving along through life, and especially with the use of social media, is hilariously accurate in a lot of ways.
5/5 would recommend to a friend!

Contains a lot of features
Frequently updated
Occasional crashes (0 more)
I have been using this app as my main reddit client for 5 years now and I fully recommend it. The app creator gives full access to the app for free, although ads are present. The app is also updated very frequently to keep up with reddit ever changing site. The only thing that lets the app down if the very occasional crashes but you are often still wherever you left off after reopening it.

Story in general
This is my first John Green read and I quite enjoyed it. I had heard a lot about this book before I read it and tried to start it a while ago but put it down for some reason. I’m glad I picked it up again and read it through. I really liked how strong the characters were, I liked that the story did fully focus on the romance between the characters and I’m happy with how the book ended.

Well well - my first Holly Black book - I wasn't disappointed - there was a lot happening in the middle, some of which I felt unnecessary - and there was a particular missing " at the end of a quote which drives me nuts. The book overall was great - it was well written and it was exciting and fun to read. And that ending. That ending was exciting and I really can't wait for book 2 to come out - thanks again owlcrate for another series I have to continue lol

Movie Rating
I've seen this film twice and it's one of those that has stuck with me.

It's not really a cast I would put together; having Sandra Bullock and Kiefer Sutherland as a couple just doesn't sit right with me, but it works in the overall setting of the film. Jeff Bridges is very good in the role of the manipulative murderer, and there is a lot of suspense throughout the film.

Very enjoyable if you like something to keep you on the edge of your seat.

BloodRayne (2006)
2006 | Action, Horror, Sci-Fi
Another pretty bad Uwe Boll film, but not his worst! Had a lot of promise with a strong cast and based on a cool vampire hack and slash video game. However this is pretty poor, none of the "stars' give a half decent performance and the fight choreography is very lame compared to most films of today, no energy or passion, very slow. There is a fair bit of blood, a Meat Loaf cameo and half decent CGI and that is it! Stick with Blade!
