Jcadden76 (64 KP) rated Evil Apples: Dirty as ____. in Apps
Jun 15, 2018
Online Cards Against Humanity
Easy to get a game together. As you play you open up more and more cards and decks to play with. Nice way to pass an evening with friends both in the room and far from home.
A quick story: We had family in town. One of the nephews suggested we play Evil Apples. By the end of the night we had eight people playing in three different states. It was such a good family moment... based around horribly funny cards, thoughts and visual images that made some of us sleep badly - LOL.
Good job Evil Apples.

Still great 20 years later
Full review here:
20 years on, this movie still holds up and remains just as joyous a watch as it ever was. For me, this is up there with the best performance than Jim Carrey has given. He finds a nice balance here between the over the top comedy he is known for and a more nuanced one. As for the plot itself, it's even more sinister in the days of reality TV and while I don't think things would ever get this far- it's a cautionary tale of what could be.

Donna (1 KP) rated Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) in Movies

I loved the film, the storyline was good, it just didn't wow me like the first one did. It seemed to me that it was trying to hard to beat Jurassic World. Bryce Dallas Howard, excels herself in it, but she is maybe not the beat person for it. It felt like she was trying to hard to keep up with Chris Pratt & everyone else.
I hope they do a 3rd and final one, and don't be money grabbing idiots and try and drain it. It would be nice to see how Blue ended up.

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.

Cumberland (1142 KP) rated Once And For All in Books

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.
MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated Guide Me Home in Books
Oct 1, 2018
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

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?
