Ande Thomas (69 KP) rated Ready Player One in Books
May 30, 2019
Oof. I get the draw. Cram a ton of your favorite 80's trivia into a futuristic plot and call it a day. And it is great fun knowing the things the characters praise as obscure puzzles and information. But there are problems. 1) Without the nostalgia of vomiting 80's references, there's little to glean from the story itself. 2) The <b>extremely</b> problematic relationship that the hero pursues that gives a platform for incel's everywhere. 3) An action oriented plot that kind of just sputters out. Rough finish. Great story if you see toxic online behavior as "misunderstood," though.

Never ending challenging fun
I've tried other hidden object games before, but after just a couple times of logging in, I found I was easily bored, or confused by the flow of the game. With Seeker's Notes, I find myself challenged and motivated to play. The levels get progressively harder, but not so drastically that you give up or have to spend a fortune to simply play. The graphics are phenomenal and the game runs with very few glitches. Plus, the support staff are quick to answer questions and help if you do run into problems.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2275 KP) rated Riley Mack and the Other Known Troublemakers in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Riley Mack was labeled a troublemaker after an ill-advised attempt to steal an ice cream cake. Now he tries to help his friends out of problems with school bullies. But when one friend has his dog stolen, Riley and the gang may be in over their heads. There's lots going on here that will keep kids engaged. Personally, I thought the characters were a little weak, but I don't think kids will notice or care.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Pearl Harbor (2001) in Movies
Feb 17, 2018
Epic scale (2 more)
Amazing action scenes
Great soundtrack
Slated by critics? However this is a moving film based around the events of Pear Harbour. It may take the story in the direction of two friends who grow up together to become pilots and fall for the same woman, but an underlying love story didn't cause Titanic any problems? The SFX are amazing and the bombing of Pearl Harbour is done on a huge scale and saddening to watch. This is a true epic of a film, artistically shot, well directed and with great lead actors which handle the tragic event so well.
Dean (6927 KP) rated April Fool's Day (2008) in Movies
Mar 31, 2018
A so-so remake of the cult classic, although this time it is totally different characters and story but with the same idea. So if you have seen the original, if not then why?, you already have a good idea of how it will turn out. This is one of the main problems as it loses any sense of tension of the first film with its setting on a remote island. Despite the low budget TV movie feel, it was still watchable with a young trendy cast. Don't rush to see it but it's not that bad.

Allie (4 KP) rated Pandora Music in Apps
Aug 13, 2018
I used to love Pandora but then I started having a lot of problems with it. I love a lot of artists so I had a lot of stations and I found sometimes going through my stations that some of my stations wouldn't be there anymore. It kept doing this no matter how many times I tried to fix it so that's when I got tired of it and just switched back to Spotify.
Sonofdel (6291 KP) rated Tuinyo Over Ear Stereo Wireless Headset in Tech
Dec 24, 2019
Excellent Low Price Alternative
Tuinyo Over Ear Stereo Wireless Headset is a fantastic equivalent to some more expensive branded headphones. These are bluetooth and have a 35h playtime with deep bass. Quality materials and stylish design add to the superior sound quality. Connectivity is simple and seamless with no problems on either my Lenovo Laptop or my Sony Xperia XA2 smartphone. The price is amazing considering the quality of the item. A must have if you want style, good sound and quality without the high end prices. A+++++
