Dean (6927 KP) rated The Gravedancers (2006) in Movies
Dec 24, 2018
At last a decent low budget horror that was quite entertaining! It had a good cast with a few familiar faces from TV of yester year. The story was something a bit different from the normal. What really made this for me though was the design, largely on animatronics and prosthetics than cgi, of the ghost characters. The production of the whole film looked pretty good for the budget. It reminded me a lot of Thirteen Ghosts. Hopefully there is scope for a sequel.....or two!

Not as plain and simple as I would have liked
I bought this book as it was recommended through an online mindfulness course. I think perhaps the book is dated and could perhaps be simplified even further. It started well and I had high hopes but I got lost half way through and couldn't bring myself to re read. I guess if you already have a bit of knowledge around Buddhism it would be easier.

It is ok.
I just don't get the gushing about this film. It's ok, just not much more than that. The stories don't develop much from their side stories. It's all a little flat and although you liked it, it could have reached the heights of Oliver, Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryet Al but won't be looked fondly back on in thirty years to come as those were

Awkward Acting
Felt Like A Filler
Though the graphics of this movie were super cool the whole movie played awkwardly. There was a spark for something to really be there somewhere in the middle but in the end the actors looked awkward within their suits and characters as a whole. Plus from the angle in which most scenes were shot I found a lot of the effect distorted despite the amazing graphics displayed throughout the scenes.
Mel (490 KP) rated Let Sleeping Vets Lie in Books
Oct 18, 2019
This book is a lovely, easy, comfortable read. It isn't taxing and it won't set the world alight but it is a light hearted depiction of a bygone age with funny stories of James Herriot's early life as a vet.
There were a couple of sections that haven't aged as well like the story where he drives down to late night job after copious tastings of home brewed wine but other than that there is very little to offend and a lot to enjoy.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Gravemaidens (Gravemaidens, #1) in Books

I received this copy of Gravemaidens from Delacorte Press through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a fascinating fantasy with a character who think she's a lot smarter than she really is.
I'm not sure if that's intentional or not so that may not be an actual complaint.
Kammani's bitterness about the society she lives in is justified and her anger provides most of the books fuel.
I really did like this book and I'm excited to see where the second one takes us!

James Koppert (2698 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Outlast 2 in Video Games

Excuse me while I empty my pants
I've played a lot of scary games from Silent Hill to F. E. A. R. and, well, wasn't scared. I haven't played Outlast but Outlast 2 shook me up. It is really messed up and the entire game you run for your life. It is so well done from the sounds to having to use night vision on your camera. Go get scared

Contains spoilers, click to show
I wanted to watch this from the trailers, and it was such a good show from start to finish. Warning for very explicit scenes but, you get so lost in these characters that it shouldn't be too much of a bother. Each character was very unique, there was a lot of diversity and it explored sex and everything that comes with that in a respectful way. Some trigger warnings might apply, like abortions, homophobia, and bullying but, they all send a very strong message.

Not lived up to the hype
Although it was a good idea, and a lot of fans were very excited about this game, I feel they added too much to the game, and over complicated it... if some of the features had been added in updates it would’ve allowed players to familiarise themselves with the mechanics of the game at a steadier pace, but despite this it is nice to have a new Harry Potter themed piece of media to enjoy

Jumper Bounces Back is the second book from Rebecca Scarberry about the lovable red ball that just can't stop having adventures. Young children will love hearing about his exploits as he searches for his owner while having a lot of fun on the way. Meanwhile parents will enjoy the depth of the story.
Scarberry gets into her stride with this book making it even better than the first. If you have young children it is a terrific book to add to your bedtime reading list.
