Dean (6927 KP) rated Long Weekend (Nature's Grave) (2008) in Movies
Feb 9, 2019
Awful remake
30 years on and we have a remake of the little known, but very weird film Long Weekend (1978). I saw the original when I was very young and at the end you just think WTF?! This is almost by the numbers remake, so I knew what was gong to happen, which effected my overall opinion. I remember the first being a lot more tense, scary and jumpy. This just didn't have the same impact. Check out the 78 version of you want some real creepy thrills!

Disappointing Direction for the Series
The series title, 'The Haunting' led me to believe that the series would be centred on a haunting - or even hauntings (multiple) - but it really isn't.
The writing feels rushed, it's poorly edited with inconsistencies, and seems to 'borrow' a lot from other writers and stories.
I wasn't sure whether to continue with the series, given how disappointed I was with this book, but given that the whole series was included in the Kindle Unlimited subscription, I decided to give the writer the benefit of the doubt.

It's Only A Game
This may be the best book I have ever read. Caraval is an enchanting game, and I loved Scarlett. She is an amazing character who has a lot of growth throughout the book. I was completely captivated the entire time I was reading this. I don't think any other book has ever played with my emotions the way this one did. I can't wait to pick up the next book. Even if its only half as good as this one it will still be pretty amazing.
Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Accidentally Yours in Books
Feb 23, 2019
fantastic read
This is a quick read story but the author has packed a lot into the pages. This is a marriage of convenience romance story with an added twist or two along the way. The characters are so lovable, you just fall in love with them from the beginning. This book is beautifully written and the story was easy to get into. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended read
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Erika (17789 KP) rated Nintendo Wii in Tech
Feb 24, 2019
I've played a lot of game consoles over my lifetime, and this is definitely one of the best ones I've played. The controllers for the Wii are comfortable, and the motion sensory works well the majority of the time. This console led to more interactive gaming, and had Sony and Microsoft playing catch-up. Wii tennis, is, of course, the best game on that console (IMO).
As always with Nintendo, the game selection isn't as wide as the PS/Xbox, but that's simply how Nintendo does business.

Cumberland (1142 KP) rated No Safety in Numbers (No Safety in Numbers, #1) in Books

The story might improve
This book was okay, but I think it has a lot of unmet potential. I like that each character has a different goal. In the majority of books when the characters are trapped they all focus on escaping. I really enjoyed how this book shows that escape might not be the most important thing depending on the circumstances. I'm hoping that book two buildings the drama, and adds in some character development. If that happens then this series might end up being a pleasant surprise.
Brad Leary (18 KP) rated What Do You Meme? in Tabletop Games
Mar 6, 2019
There are some very funny cards that will make you laugh.
The premise of matching phrases doesn't really work. Many of the pictures are too generic or no one has any cards that fit the image. The judge usually just goes with the funniest card disregarding the meme altogether.
And just like CAH, it becomes stale once you have gone through all the cards.

Codus (2 KP) rated Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande in Music
Mar 6, 2019
Obvious bangers like "thank u, next" and "7 Rings." (2 more)
There are plenty of remixes, and Mixes.
Very telling of style, while experimenting with new styles
A Fairly Balanced, but Far-reaching album
Being the proclaimed "Grounded-Pop-Queen", Ari brings a lot to the table for 2019; with the obvious bangers "thank u, next" and "7 Rings."There are plenty of remixes, and Mixes of several songs that will stimulate the club scenes for years to come, celebrating the young artist as the new Mariah Carey.
Cumberland (1142 KP) rated Five Feet Apart (2019) in Movies

Goes Well With The Book
I would highly suggest seeing this movie if you enjoyed the book. It was a good adaptation, and even if you haven't read the book the movie is great. Stella and Will's relationship is a doomed romance, but you can't help cheering for them.
I see a lot of people comparing this to The Fault in Our Stars, but this is a very different story. It will probably appel to a similar audience, but you won't leave feeling as if you have seen this movie before.

Auburn (57 KP) rated Just Friends in Books
Apr 10, 2019
Just friends focuses on what happens when you have so much self doubt and feel invisible. Josh doesn't really believe in himself and knows he isn't good enough for new girl Jena. When they become friends and she relys on him his situation becomes more screwed up. A should he/shouldn't he starts. Add in an old friendship that takes a backseat and it's a lot to read.
For me the inner monologue was just a tad annoying. I felt the ending was suitable but the way it comes around just doesn't feel complete.
