Dean (6925 KP) rated The White Lotus in TV
Jan 23, 2023
Weird
A odd series full of strange characters on vacation at a resort in Hawaii. The cast is impressive and scenery looks great. There just doesn't appear to be any real plot as such. More like a social commentary about people with money. Some funny moments but overall rather dysfunctional.

If you want commercial then watch this if you want Thor dont
I know most people race about this film and I can see why. However for me this film felt like I was watching everyone one of my favourite franchises best moment cut up rollled into on the first part I felt it was lotr the arena part I felt I was in hunger games the music i was watching guardians but I didn't feel like I was watching Thor. From a commercial aspect i understand why people love it every Scence has a fa orite moment or recognition to my other fav films i can't e it but I dont love it.
Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated Blood Meridian in Books

Grim , brutal and tasteless
I think the gratuitous and horrific descriptions of violence is insulting to those nations who were killed in the American genocide. It is bordering on tasteless and the entire book seems rather pointless being pummelled with endless ways of how to kill people in various brutal fashions. I understand McCarthy may be trying to portray how perpetual violence can desensitise people such as soldiers into doing things morally reprehensible but that was not obvious and it may have been more appropriate to use a fictional situation. The irony is you become desensitised reading it to the point my mind switched off. As a fan of The Road, I was disappointed by this.
Key (10 KP) rated The Night Watch in Books

'Tender and tragic, set against the turbulent backdrop of wartime Britain'
This is my absolute favourite book, so I'm likely to be biased. The characters feel like real people, and their experiences and thoughts feel as palpable as your own. Let this book sweep you through love and heartbreak, enveloped by war-torn 40s London. The unusual plot layout of this book (moving backwards through time, starting at the end and finishing at the start) may be confusing at the first read, but provides dramatic irony which is integral to the book's brilliance.
Micah Ulibarri (79 KP) rated Nailed It in TV
Apr 17, 2018
This show is incredibly endearing in it's own way. The premise is people who aren't good at baking do some way-out-of-their-league baking. The results are all at once comical and at times impressive.
The show is tacky, but deliberately and very self-aware. That particular attitude is hilarious to me and a big part of what I enjoyed.
The two main hosts, Nicole and Jaques, have very good interplay and we're entertaining. It was especially fun watching Jaques and the guest judges get upset having to watch people flounder through what to them are basic tasks.
Finally, I actually learned quite a bit about baking. I actually wanna give it a try.

Red Otter (340 KP) rated Splendor in Tabletop Games
May 31, 2019
Splendor is one of my go-to games for introducing new people to the hobby as it revolves around 2 simple actions. Get gems, and buy cards with gems. Easy to teach and people feel good when they manage to link several actions in a row efficiently or when they learn that picking up all of the gems of a colour is a annoying yet hilariously effective strategy at times. It has enough depth to last a while and for someone experienced to consistently beatsomeone who is learning, but eventually you'll want something a bit more complex. In terms of theme, there really isn't any, just gems and Nobles for some reason.
Bee (0 KP) rated The Passage in Books
Jan 29, 2018
Woo, okay! So I started reading this in August and it was a mountain. The pages of the book felt like those pages you get in bibles, very paper thin with a sort of glossy feel to it. I personally loved this, though it did make the book seem a lot larger than it actually is.
The story is absolutely crazy, from start to finish. The characters immense. I was and am so scared for the characters. Nobody is safe in this book. There are people who seem to die and then come back later and for me, one of those people is just heartbreaking for me. A few, actually.
All in all, I really enjoyed The Passage.

Anna Steele (111 KP) rated Scythe (Arc of a Scythe #1) in Books

Not feeling Deadish
I rarely give out 10/10 ratings
But Neal Shusterman deserves it
He has formed so many different worlds
Slightly different from our own
And wholely different from each other
He has brought me into Everlost
Shown me life after the Second Civil War
And now I have expirence a world
That has conquered mortality.
Two young people
Must learn how to kill people
The Sycthedom
Is the only political body standing
And it’s splitting
At its core
Massacrists
And compassionate killers
Must fight for the moral code
That will rule the only killers in the world.
This story is thrilling
And has left me not feeling so deadish.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Tender Mercies in Books

I'm not sure what I think about this novel. I know that I liked it. I like Kitty Thomas' novels because they force me to think. I enjoyed the different aspects in this novel.
It seems that so many people are interested in BDSM and don't realize the depth that BDSM can go. I love the fact that Kitty showed the good along with the bad. Too many people think that BDSM is abuse and not in fact a lifestyle.
The characters are different and had some depth to them. This wasn't your run of the mill BDSM novel. It's not roses without the thorns. It's gritty and it forces you to look at your beliefs.
