Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated SEAL of My Dreams in Books
Jul 12, 2018
This was a fairly good book filled with short stories. Most of the stories were very well done and some failed to capture my attention. I'm glad that I bought this book. It was definitely entertaining and a way of finding new authors.
I definitely have a weakness for romance with military men. There is nothing sexier than an alpha male in camo. I thought that these stories were definitely entertaining and it was nice to have a stopping point every 30 pages or so. I really enjoyed this book.

Contains spoilers, click to show
I’m slowly starting to get addicted to these books, I enjoyed Roy’s trip to Munich, I feel like after this trip he’s finally made up his mind about sandy and Cleo atlast!
Cannot wait to read the one that reveals what’s happened to sandy, the anticipation is killing me ha!
Love this murder mystery how can someone be in the same place twice... Roy and his copper nose will work it out
The characters are building up more and more as the books go one, it’s nice to understand Cleo and Glenn more.

This film really is best seen on a large screen, for the space sequences alone.
Sadly, it gets burdened down by way too much Earth melodrama, and it drags the movie down. I was desperately waiting for the launch of Apollo 11, it took nearly two hours to get there.
Ryan Gosling did well playing Armstrong, I think. Yeah, he was remote, but in general, that's kind of how engineers are in real life. I really liked Corey Stoll's brazen Aldrin, he was a nice contrast to the stoic Armstrong.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Once Upon a New Year's Eve in Books
Nov 14, 2018
A nice, quick and enjoyable read. I should say that I shouldn't really class this short story as a 'romance' as it is more of a dose of 'smut'...but good smut I might add.
It outlines the bully/victim relationship with a splash of attraction and lust leaving the reader wanting more. In my personal opinion I can not stand bullies and people who abuse others so it makes me cringe a bit when these people are so easily forgiven. Even so I would definitely consider reading the possible sequel.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated I am, I am, I am: Seventeen Brushes with Death in Books
Nov 14, 2018
This is a collection of 17 near death experiences which are well written and engaging. Each chapter is illustrated at the start by showing us the body part which nearly caused the death of O'Farrell, I thought this was a nice touch. Sometimes I fumbled a bit whilst reading through this book and ultimately got a bit jumbled in places too. I think the confusion would of been solved if the incidences were written in chronological order. It felt a bit too all over the place rather than a good, smooth read.
The Marinated Meeple (1848 KP) rated Dice Town in Tabletop Games
Nov 15, 2018
Good 5 player game (2 more)
Roll, select, roll what’s left, select mechanic is nice
Bad luck has choices
Can get screwed early and often. Just like in life (1 more)
Almost nothing stays yours.
Good light dice game. Best with more.
This was a cute game. Feels like an auction game as players are simultaneously selecting a dice and going after a certain outcome. But if more than one person is going for it. It will probably cost more. Is it worth it? I enjoyed my play. I’d play again but I’m not sprinting to play again.
Cumberland (1142 KP) rated Second Act (2018) in Movies

A Good Mix
This movie was a great mix of funny and serious. Maya was an awesome character that you really wanted to see succeed even if she didn't go about it in a traditional way. For me the thing that really made this movie great were Maya's friends. All of them were hilarious, and it was nice to see such a strong group. They did a great job of mixing serious moments in without making this movie to heavy. I would highly suggest this if you are looking for something fun to watch.

Nice!
This one is a couple years old, but turned out to be more entertaining than most "horror" movies of today. The acting wasn't the greatest, but it was good. The cinematography was done well and the story played out interestingly. Not what I expected from the description. This film has plenty of creep factor and intensity. Not big budget, but definitely done right. Only thing I didn't like was the typical Hollywood "leave-it-open-for-a-sequel" ending. However, that doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the film overall. Worth a watch!
Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Maid Mary Anne (The Baby-Sitters Club, #66) in Books
Dec 31, 2019
Mary Anne only stops being a doormat because she fears the wrath of K. Ron Hubbard. Check.
An older woman, who presumably has been living by herself for quite a while, breaks her ankle and just...lays around waiting for someone to hear her yelling? I'm going to pretend that she just passed out from the pain, woke up and figured she'd call out before moving her ass so a neighboring cat wouldn't eat her face.
The sexism b-plot with Nicky and Buddy was kinda nice, though.

Nice
Plenty of big names in this survival thriller. The acting was very well done. The cinematography was shot on with just a hint if cgi on a few parts(barely noticable). The story was simple and straight forward - pacing was causing a problem and a rogue grizzly was out in the woods killing pretty much everything it came across(including people) and some folks stuck out there had to survive. Plenty of intensity that isn't overwhelmed by the people's back story. Not a big budget flick but definitely a good one! Worth a watch!
