Aasiyah Sidat (34 KP) rated Anna and the French Kiss in Books
Jul 5, 2018
I love romance. I am a sucker for a good love story. I will aww and sob my way through books and movies and pray for my prince charming to come and whisk me off my feet.
You: Aasiyah, that's not how real life works.
I know, I know, rose-tinted glasses and all that, but honestly, sometimes that kind of view can get us through the day and give us something to look forward to.
Sometimes it's nice to take a break from reality.

Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated Sexual Decisions: The Ultimate Teen Guide in Books
Aug 21, 2018
Thank you Kris for sending me over this amazing book.
This is for everyone that has teens in their families. This is for every teen, and for every adult. There have been so many things that I found out about this book, that I didn't know before.
Very helpful into forming a nice adult from a child, and very open-minded.
I loved this book, and I believe that every teen should read it, so they can become more confident about themselves, and start to believe in themselves, and make decisions about their body on their own.

Loved this book
Unlike most of Sarah Dessens books Once and For All isn't about first love. Its about what comes after. I really enjoyed the flash backs that slowly showed the reader Louna's past. In general the book is about Louna as she moves forward in life, so it was nice to see how her past played such an important role. Louna is one of my favorite Sarah Dessen characters, and her friendship with Ambrose had me smiling throughout the book. This is definitely a must read for anyone who is a fan of young adult romance.

MoMo’s Book Diary recommends this as a page turning 4 star read.
The author had me hooked. The characters and setting was just perfect. I could feel the atmosphere of Kentucky in the way the author describes each scene.
The plot had me turning page after page. It is the first Kim Vogel Sawyer I have read and I will be picking up another one.
It is not my normal type of novel but it was a very nice, needed, change of pace.
Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this historical romance.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Maisy Goes to the Museum: A Maisy First Experience Book in Books
Nov 14, 2018
A fun little book about a trip to the Museum. My daughter didn't enjoy this one as much as the other Maisy books we have read, I think that may be because of the words used. Many of the words were long and complicated for a toddler so she lost interest. Also, the sentences were quite disjointed. Another thing that could be a problem is that not all Museums will offer your child everything that is in this book which may lead to disappointment. Other than the above issues, the book is nice and bright and has some really good illustrations.
Lewis John Hatchett (23 KP) rated Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) in Movies
Jun 20, 2019 (Updated Jun 20, 2019)
Underachiever
For a film called Godzilla, King of The Monsters, there wasn't much of Godzilla or most of the other Monsters.
The story was lackluster and the human characters served no purpose to the story other than to add a human element and an unnecessary subplot to a story that really didn't need them nor the subplot.
Had a nice generous amount of flights between Godzilla and the fellow monsters King Ghidorah, Mothrah and Rhodan but not enough to satisfy my own expectations.
An awesome story but need more Monsters than humans in it.

Christina Heather Anderson (85 KP) rated Once Upon A Deadpool (Deadpool 2 PG-13 Version) (2018) in Movies
Dec 22, 2018
The parts with Fred Savage were delightful. (2 more)
I was able to take my daughter to see it.
Not boring
Nice Surprise
I went into the movie "blind", never having seen neither Deadpool movie. I had only seen the previews for them. My daughter has wanted to see both and this provided the perfect opportunity for that to happen. For me I love the Princess Bride so I very much enjoyed the Fred Savage parts. Watching this just made me want to watch the unaltered movies.
I agree it could have been a direct to DVD release, but what fun would that be?

Dean (6925 KP) rated The Darkest Hour (2011) in Movies
Dec 24, 2018
Another film to file under "The trailer made it look good". In truth the idea wasn't so bad, a different version to War of the worlds would be one way to describe it. It had big ideas but unfortunately the CGI and acting didn't match the ambition. Some of the CGI for the aliens later on look more like an old Xbox game, and not on the 360! The story and script start to turn rather silly half way through. It made Skyline look rather good. Although it was nice to see Rachael Taylor back in a main stream film.
Dean (6925 KP) rated Open House (2010) in Movies
Dec 24, 2018
Well I spotted this was directed by Anna Paquin's brother and also had Stephen Moyer from True Blood on the cover, unfortunately they are not the main stars of the film. Rachel Blanchard of the TV series Clueless is the main lead.
This falls into the category of weird films, there isn't a lot of back story or explanation really into the why or what of what is going on. Reminded me a lot of Funny Games. Quite bloody and brutal, ok for a low budget film but a bit more plot would have be nice....and Anna Paquin!

Entertaining
Just in time for Halloween. This movie had good cinematography and some nice gore effects(probably not for kids). The acting was decent. The story was your the typical kids go to a haunted house attraction that turns out to be one big death trap run by some psychos. I was cheering the protagonist on throughout the whole movie as she lost friends one by one. The ending was a little, odd, but cool as it didn't do the typical sequel setup they do so often. Overall, for you horror movie/ halloween fans, this one is worth a watch!
