Rachel (4 KP) rated Annihilation (2018) in Movies
Apr 9, 2018
After watching this movie, it made me want to read the books and made me wish I knew more science. It’s nice that most of the cast is female. We need more movies with women who can kick ass. Definitely some odd things in this movie, but they made it worth watching. Didn’t quite live up to the hype though in my opinion. I was expecting a little more than they gave, but I can’t hate on the movie. Hoping someone does the sequels.

quite predictable
A good super hero movie, but not too gripping
I love DC, which unfortunately makes this movie a difficult one to watch. It was a nice movie, but did not give the character any real justice. The story is not well formed, and sort of seem like it was just thrown together. Overall it is a fun movie to watch, but probably best to have it as a movie in the background to enjoy it.

A very surreal film
I didn't bother reading any reviews before I watched this Sky Original film. I was impressed by the cast line up and like a noir, mystery film. At least that's what you think you are going to see. It's one of just a handful of films with a surreal twist that will make most people think "are you serious?". Should have just stuck to a normal thriller plot. At least the scenery is nice to look at.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Tron Legacy (2010) in Movies

I want a Tron bike!
A visually stunning film! I would have loved to catch this at the cinema in 3D to really appreciate it. It has very cool sets, amazing SFX that takes CGI to the next level. It has a great soundtrack as well by Daft Punk, a bit more of the Tron bikes would have been nice. Sadly though the plot and story in general don't match the impressive visuals. Instead just marvel at the awesome light suits and technical excellence of the film!
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2658 KP) rated Brush with Death (Gray Whale Inn Mystery, #5) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Natalie Barnes is enjoying the slower pace of winter on Cranberry Island when her niece's painting mentor is murdered. Fernand was such a nice man, who would want to kill him?
There are plenty of storylines to pull you in and keep you reading, and the main characters are great. The recurring characters aren't as sharp as I remember them being, but that's a minor complaint.

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Murder at the Moonshine Inn (Hazel Rose Book Group Mystery #2) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
Murder at the Moonshine Inn is a little edgier than most cozy mysteries, but it does just manage to stay cozy. It was a nice change to have the protagonist try to refuse to do the investigating, realizing how dangerous it would probably be, and then to finally agree to do it but only with the aid of her book group, and to a lesser degree, her husband.
The story is full of twists, turns, and humor, and should please both cozy and traditional mystery fans.

OneStarReads (141 KP) rated The Carnivorous Carnival (ASOUE #9) in Books
Aug 13, 2018
I created a video explaining my slow decent into hating this series, book by book, for your viewing pleasure:
I kinda liked how this one ended. A horribly nice death for a character who was kinda silly and pointless anyway. Their whole arc felt jarring, at even at the end, when we know their single character trait they've been given, it felt really strange for the character to act the way they did.
Huuuuuuuh... 4 more books...

Games are quite balanced (1 more)
Fun trying to produce strategies to turn the game
Nice little game
This is a great game, if you are an experienced player, or beginner playing with beginners. If the skill is mixed it is not so great, as the strategies needed to win a game barely vary much, letting the experienced players have the upper hand. Luckily you can still do well, as many points get awarded at the end of the game
Rachel Maria Berney (114 KP) rated The Marvelous Mrs Maisel in TV
Dec 4, 2018
I laughed so hard I nearly.....
I was looking for something funny, something different. Mrs Maisel tickled that spot. I laughed outloud so hard I woke my bairns up.
It's a nice story, it has drama, it has jokes, it has loveable characters. Most of all, you are routing for Mrs Maisel, who you can't help but want to see succeed. You envy her ability to say what you are thinking, you wish you were more like Mrs Maisel. Wouldn't life be an adventure then.

Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated Sadie in Books
Dec 10, 2018
I won this ARC from a Goodreads Giveaway and because of all the great buzz it had already I was really excited to get it. I loved the way the chapters alternated between Sadie and West and I really loved that the ending wasn’t tied up in a nice little package. It felt more realistic which I enjoyed. I would recommend this book to someone and I’ll probably pass it off to a coworker who was really interested in it once I described it.
