Rickey A. Mossow Jr. (689 KP) rated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) in Movies

May 21, 2019

Great movie, even to a Spiderman purist.

I've always been a purist. I enjoy the classic comics and their stories the most. Just how I was raised and what I grew up with. I know of the Morales storyline, just never gave it much credence. So, I was a little hesitant heading into this movie to say the least. That all aside, this little flick was a lot of fun. A fun, though not original, story leads all the various Spider characters together in a fun ride through Marvel lore. Was also very pleased with the adult overtones to the story while keeping it an animation movie for kids, which so many new cartoon movies do so well these days. In the end, while I may still believe that Peter Parker is the Spiderman, I now have a better understanding and appreciation of Morales and the other variations of Spiderman and their place in the Marvel Universe. Well done, Sony. And, of course, RIP Stan Lee. You will be missed.

The Queens Corgi needs putting down

Contains spoilers, click to show

Wow what did I just watch.
It started well a cute and funny 2mins showing the new corgi arrive. The interaction between the dogs and the palace servants was good.

From here:
Trump shows up and flirts with a random woman which is cringy and just feels wrong

The animation of anyone outside of the palace looks rushed

Trump brings a final dog to breed with the queens corgi, so proceeds a scene where the queens dog is sexually harrassed whilst the American dog declares shes on heat and wants him.

Queens dog ends up in dogs pound where dog fights occur, one dog is dragged out after one such fight in a mess.

The animation of the other dogs is poor

Nothing fun or interesting in the final half hr.

It is a poor kids film, that poorly tries to insert adult humour that is just cringeworthy or in bad taste.

Avoid at all costs. The worst animated kids film I have ever seen... ever!!

Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Growing in God's Love: A Story Bible in Books

Growing in God's Love: A Story Bible by Elizabeth F. Caldwell; Carol A. Wehrheim is an illustrated book that pays attention to quality and detail. While it says it is a book that children can read, I believe it should be read to children. I am impressed with this book, the wording, and I like how it is designed to be interactive between adult and child with three simple questions at the end of each story.

Most of the stories are between one and two pages counting the illustrations and three questions and start at the beginning of the Bible in Genesis and through the old testament and then into the new testament. The verse location in the Bible is given under the story title.

The author did a great job of covering Bible topics in a way that children can understand but in a way that adults can gain a blessing as well.

I received an ARC from Westminster John Knox Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
