Movie Rating

Except for a few tiny laughs and a few nice moments between Robert De Niro and Leslie Mann's characters, this movie is unwatchable and unfunny. The humor (if you can call it that) is scatological and the character is far beneath the talents of Mr. De Niro. The jokes are crude and vulgar and I was embarrassed for him to tell them. This is the worst movie I have seen in a very long time and if I had control of the remote or was able to rouse my roommate who fell asleep with it under him, I'd have changed the channel within seconds. This film is an abomination.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated The Zombie Autopsies: Secret Notebooks from the Apocalypse in Books

Nov 14, 2018

___ 3 Stars

I liked this book because it was different to anything else I have read about Zombies. It comes from a completely different perspective; to be precise a medical journal.
Even though I knew this was a journal I still expected some more brutal Zombie action...as Zombies are brutal. There was little action in this but the artwork was nice and detailed.
To be completely honest, it became way too scientific for me which meant the majority of the explanations went over my head and it became boring fairly quickly.
If you're into Zombies strictly from a very medical/scientific point of view then definitely read this.

Convoluted

Unadventurous

Canon, but not really worth the read.

One spoiler ahead that doesn't really add much but it's nice to know, if we didn't know it already.

A pretty poor attempt at a Star Wars story, especially as it's considered canon.

This may be the second earliest installment in the Star Wars canon, but it fails to add anything to the saga, apart from we find out that Count Dooku was Qui-Gon Jin's master.

The story is mainly based around an adventure featuring Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan involving something about a princess and some jewel thieves...pretty uninspiring characters in terms of originality.

A nice coming of age film

An Australian film based in a large department store, mainly the ladies department and the staff who work there. The main story is about a sixteen year old girl who has got a Christmas job working there (mind you it is strange because the film is based around Christmas and yet it is not, they are all on the beach and they keep calling it summer. Anyway back to the film the main character is a 16 year old girl who blossoms throughout the film from help from other members of staff. Enjoyable and a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

Contents are good quality and game play has very little downtime as all players play simultaneously. (0 more)

Some of the books (component listing what each ingredient'effect is) feel like their bonus is not worth their cost, meaning less people engage in using them as a strategy. (0 more)

Quacks is brilliant

An enjoyable game with a nice theme. The game play is quick and fun with multiple strategies available.

I'm not the luckiest person when it comes to boardgames, but I still enjoyed the risk factor of removing an extra ingredient just to move further around your swirling board... Even if it did regularly end in my potion exploding.
