Connie (244 KP) rated Evil Apples: Dirty as ____. in Apps
Jun 14, 2018
Okay but not amazing
I like being able to play whenever I want, but there are a lot of people who either quit or get disconnected. Maybe I don't like this as much because I don't know the people involved, or maybe I just can't get into it. I don't know. It has promise, but I wish the games were bigger. Only playing with 3-5 people and then having 1 or 2 of them quit takes the fun out of it mostly. It's still promising, but definitely not my favorite.

The cast (1 more)
The multiple endings
Communism is just a red-herring.
This movie holds up after multiple viewings. The cast is fantastic, and the movie was completely zany. I always watch the film with all 3 endings, and I can't pick a favorite. This film definitely borrows a lot from 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie, but it's definitely not a bad thing. Madeline Kahn was my favorite in this film, because all of her lines were perfectly delivered.
This is one movie that never needs to be remade.

Full review here:
Despite the struggles Solo is having at the box office, this for me is a fun ride with some great performances and a real breezy tone that keeps it enjoyable. My reservations (that this movie wasn't needed) remain unchanged after watching it and I can think of so many more stories in this universe that would be a better pick- but taken for what it is, I had a great time with it. And yes, I enjoyed this a lot more than I did The Last Jedi.

Fun game for super hero fans
Strike force is a fun game where the player collects Marvel heroes and villains and battles with teams of five characters to level up and gain new characters. It’s almost exactly the same game as Star Wars Heroes and Disney Heroes (all three from Disney). This game allows you to auto play a level you’ve already beat without losing a team member automatically to farm supplies without using some sort of ticket, which saves a lot of time.

I saw this one on Amazon. It was pretty creepy once it got past the slow start. The storyline itself was pretty interesting. It was ultimately about secret governmental testing on people in the past. The characters were ok. Not a lot of depth to them but the acting is mediocre. The effects and camera tricks could've been a little better but they conveyed everything well enough. Overall I'd recommend it if you're into creepy ghost stories. Worth a watch.

This book was sad, and hilarious both at the same time - much like Shane's videos. It didn't much help that I read this book in my head using his voice...............
The only fault in this book was that I wish there were better year stamps on the chapters, a timeline in which the chapters were placed or some type of order - it bounced around a lot and I was like, what, we're back to that time......confusing at times - but no less great - I mean sad and depressing.

Good introduction to the world of Josephine Tey
I enjoyed this novel about the fictional life of a real person, Josephine Tey. This is the first novel in the series by Nicola Upson and I had previously read the fourth book as a standalone and I think that may have clouded my view a little on this book as I already knew what happened to the characters later on. I think if I was reading this novel first it would have been a lot more gripping. As it was, it was still an enjoyable mystery.

Good story about fate
A decent little romantic film, although labeled a Rom-com most of the time it feels more of a drama with a lot of light hearted moments than truly laugh out loud scenes. It did remind me of Serendipity quite a bit, would have to admit that is by far the better film. One of the best of the genre in my opinion.
Still this has a good cast and it was an enjoyable to watch, without being the typical hollywood Rom-com most of the time. Definitely worth checking out.

It's so well thought out (4 more)
Challenging
Engaging
Easy to pick up
Well made
Excellent team coop game
This game is a firm favourite when we do board-game days.
You play either heros or zombies. There are various different missions and games are usually close, going down to the wire and adding to the thrill of it. Worth every penny and I shall be getting the expansions for it.
Did I mention it's well thought out? It's so good - you can tell someone has put a lot of effort into getting the balance just so.

I can't wait for this movie to come out! I wish I had my own copy so I could read this again before the movie comes out but I checked it out of the library from my freshman year. I didn't expect to love it so much. This was the book that had gotten me into reading again. I used to read a lot when I was little but then I stopped but now I'm back at it again because of this book and I couldn't be more thankful for that!
