Critters
As a fan of the original critters movie from back in the day of VHS wasn't sure if there really was an need for a sequel it's not bad movie short not too long. Nice too see Dee wallce stone back as she was in the original film in my opinion the real star of the film is Bianca the female crite who steals the show from her male counterparts maybe I will bgo back and watch the original again sometime

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Snow's Seduction (A Snow White Werewolf Tale, #1) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
This is supposed to be a Snow White retelling but I really couldnt see it. Regardless, its an erotic fairytale retelling which is right up my alley. Its heavy on the erotica while still having enough plot to push the story forward. Normally I would be aggravated that this story is divided into three parts but I knew that going in and already had the rest of the story so I didnt have to wait for the rest.
I love friends to lovers stories, especially childhood friends. I would like to say I enjoyed the premise to this story but honestly I thought it was stupid. I wish I had better word but there it is. Now you may be saying but you knew that going in! Honestly, I was hoping it was going to be a menage. I guess it was just wishful thinking, because what I got instead was the age old hey let me ask my male friend how to seduce this other male but wait my friend wants me trope.
All in all, definitely worth the read.

Contains spoilers, click to show
A young woman's life is destroyed when she becomes a victim of an acid attack. The police seem to be getting nowhere with the investigation when a letter pops through her door. One of the gang members is remorseful and wants to meet. She starts secretly filming the gang members, with the inside knowledge of their whereabouts, and exposing their criminal activities. Her video becomes a documentary and her career soars as she exposes how easily it is to obtain materials for these attacks.
This story had so much potential. An amazing storyline and characters that could have been inspiring. But I feel like it wasn't written well and this let down the story. There were questions left unanswered. There were scenes that seemed out of place. And situations that seemed unrealistic and just forced idealism. The story felt unfinished and there was no ending for the main male character. And as petty as this may sound, the book needs another proof-reading. The male lead's name changes (it took me a while to figure out who this extra character was) and there are obvious word errors.

Stupid people doing stupid things, a blistering lampoon of the 2000s brand of American exceptionalism mixed with the male ego. Every male performance in this is (intentionally) of one big man-child, delivering every sentence like a Kindergartener who has to pause to consciously think about each word before he says it - paired with open-mouth, leering looks of misunderstanding where you can physically see the gears shift around in their heads. Ferrell, Baron Cohen, and C. Reilly make a formidable trio of barking caricatures who chew up the scenery until there's nothing left in their collective warpaths. Like most McKay fare it suffers in the third act but everything prior is so goddamn funny, there's hardly ever a full minute that isn't filled with laughter. Few films wear their immaturity on their sleeves so proudly, gotta love it. And Cohen + Ferrell's shared kiss to Pat Benatar's "We Belong"? Come on, that was next level. Adam bro please ditch the surface-level political mock-ups and get another screenplay together with Ferrell, we need you back.

Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated The Butterfly Effect in Books
Oct 10, 2017 (Updated Oct 10, 2017)
Well produced but still completely missing a lot
It's pretty incredible to create a series about the effects of mass porn without mentioning how it actually affects the women in it and around it. Once again we have a very male take on women as a mass commodity, narrowing them down to keywords instead focusing on how the men who make it and are responsible for the consumerism are affected. I thought Jon Ronson would explore this issue, but he skirts around it as an aside. Not his best by far.
Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Performance Anomalies in Books
Jan 15, 2018
Well after reading Performance Anomalies I'd have to say that Victor Robert Lee has created an interesting new male lead in the spy genre with his Cono character. Cono is gifted with lighting fast processing skills & reflexes which he uses to help out various international interests. You can't help but feel for Cono & his drifting life style. But I also found myself disliking him too...he seems to flit through life without laws. He is an interesting blend of personalities. I look forward to seeing how Lee decides to expand the character & the series.

Titus Andromedon - literally my favourite character (1 more)
John Hamm is such a good villain
Slightly ridiculous, over the top comedy
While this series is rather funny and watchable, there are times it's utterly cringe-worthy and I really did not like how the court scenes were handled. It's an incredibly dark topic, which writer Tina Fey does an almost excellent job of hilarity, but it falls short because it should never have been done given the horrible spate of male violence against women, and women being held against their will.
