Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs in Books
Mar 9, 2018
This delightful picture book finds shows the dangers of walking into a strange house. What if Goldilocks wandered into a trap instead of the house of the three bears? It's filled with humor that those familiar with the original story will find delightful. I couldn't stop grinning as I read it.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Primitive Secrets (Storm Kayama, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Storm Kayama arrives at her law office in Hawaii to find her adoptive father dead. But the strange events make it quickly obvious that he was murdered. The book starts very slowly, but there are several white knuckle scenes, and by the end I was glad I read it.

Dean (6925 KP) rated Heavenly Creatures (1994) in Movies
Feb 24, 2018
Hmmm well it seems I'm in the minority but to call this a masterpiece is way off the mark for me. This was just a bit too surreal and odd. Based on a true crime in New Zealand in the 50's. It gets very strange later on as the relationship and madness intensifies! If you like wacky films or odd dramas you might love it, but it's not for me.
Dean (6925 KP) rated Rumor Has It (2005) in Movies
Nov 7, 2018
An average run of the mill rom-com/drama has some funny bits and gets more serious to the end. Starting to like Jennifer Aniston a lot more in films. She was great in friends but has done far too many rom-coms now that they just kinda all blur into one. An ok watch if you're in the mood. Although some strange plot decisions don't add up?!
Sophie (1688 KP) rated Preacher - Season 1 in TV

Stick with it
Don't give up after a few episodes, it does get better. The show is slow to start and tb. Story takes a long time to develop, but it an easy watch and good fun in places. Very strange, twisted religion, Sci-fi type show, with some good laughs, worth watching Joseph gilgun who is brilliant throughout
Dean (6925 KP) rated Funny Games (2007) in Movies
Nov 10, 2019
Odd disturbing film
A strange film with not much of a plot or explanation as to what is going on, although some might like this more because of that. It's a very gritty, raw, rather bleak film as a couple of psycho's decide to play some not so funny games with a family in a holiday home. You just need to watch a comedy after to lift your mood!
fireflyhearts (29 KP) rated Aeterno by Aviators in Music
Dec 21, 2019 (Updated Dec 21, 2019)
Like Nothing Else I've Heard
This is a strange album. It's almost purely instrumental, for one thing. (The first actual lyrics are in the penultimate track). And every song sounds like something out of a really dramatic movie. I like it, but it's probably the weakest Aviators album. Recommended to diehard fans only; if you're just getting into this artist, then you'd be better off listening to their newer work.
Barry Newman (204 KP) rated Ready or Not (2019) in Movies
Feb 16, 2020
Perhaps not quite as good as I was expecting from some of the reviews I have read nevertheless I still really enjoyed this. A relatively simple but kind of strange premise makes for some exciting gory thrills. I thought Samara Weaving was pretty good and made for a likeable charismatic lead as she strikes back against her batshit crazy new in-laws. Fast paced , thrilling and lots of fun.
