Rob Fuller (19 KP) rated Boston Legal - Season 2 in TV
Jul 16, 2017

as with season 1 - This show doesn't need a long review - it's too perfect. Too funny. Too clever. the chemistry between James Spader and William Shatner as Alan and Denny respectively draws you in and makes you wish they were your buddies, that you could hang out with them on the penthouse office balcony, talking philosophically about life with a cigar in one hand and a fine scotch whiskey in the other. The cast is superb and the writing brilliant...Thank you David E Kelly et al.

Informative but far too long
Listened on Audible.
While I loved the concept of raising awareness for dementia sufferers and how frustrating it can be to lose oneself, listening to this gave me a bit of a headache as it was far too long. This is definitely better as a book and not for Audible - you lose track of the Maud's meandering. And while it is based on the tragic circumstances of her sister's disappearance - I actually ended up losing focus over who she was actually talking about after a while. A good effort.

Hello to Jason Isaacs
Just discovered this series on Netflix after Jason Isaacs was on a chat show talking about it.
I’d describe it as having the atmosphere of Stranger Things but a totally different subject.
A blind girl is abducted but returns able to see. As she adjusts back into her previous life she begins to tell the story of her captivity. But she also talks about her previous life even before she was blind.
And there’s a great baddie in it too.
I’m 4 episodes in and totally intrigued.....

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Final Destination 2 (2003) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
With a slick filming style and better characters, Final Destination 2 improved on its predecessor in almost every way.
The main disaster, a stunning motorway pile-up, is filmed to an exceptional standard with very little in the way of CGI and this makes way for more inventive deaths that have become talking points for fans of the franchise and converts alike.
Taking a more mythical approach, the violence comes thick and fast and this remains the second best edition of the series.

The Marinated Meeple (1848 KP) rated Tsuro in Tabletop Games
Mar 14, 2018
Simple (3 more)
Elegant
Easy to learn and teach
Good with larger player counts
Good Simple quick game for large groups. normally i hate player elimination but for a 10 minute game it's ok.
this is a fun little filler game, perfect if everyone is sitting around talking and not really paying attention or don't want to pay close attention. The object is to lay down tiles and follow the path trying to keep your pawn alive as long as possible, and out last everyone else. that's it, that is the game.

Very good book, especially for the young adult market. I love the fact that Vaughn doesn't write much differently here than she does in her established series, so she doesn't feel like she's talking down to teens at all.
There's one thing that really bugs me, but if I bring up exactly what it is, it will be a spoiler. I will say that I don't honestly think that every YA book or series really has to include a particular sort of negative experience in order for the protagonist to experience growth.

I'm glad I listened to the audiobook narrated by Amy Poehler, because I don't think I could have gotten through it if I was reading.
I liked some of the stories, but once she started talking about children, I was done. I don't think kids are cute, so cutesy stories about kids are so uninteresting to me. That was definitely when my thoughts started drifting, and I thought to myself, yeah, I'm glad I got the audiobook for free.
Overall, it was ok, but I definitely wouldn't listen to it again.
