Kayleigh Graham (7 KP) rated Power Rangers (2017) in Movies
Apr 28, 2017
I thoroughly enjoyed it although them suiting up took longer then I would have liked but I think the cast did a good job it had the same cheesy dialogue and action sequences that I loved about the original tv series I really liked Elizabeth banks as Rita repulsa however I felt like they made her costume overly sexy for no reason she's not supposed to be and if you remember her costume for the tv series it's way more coverage I get that they wanted to modernize it and have it more appealing but to me it feels like a cheap way to appeal to dads to take their children to go see it and not be totally bored (talking dads that didn't grow up watching the show)
Phil (7 KP) rated Huckleberry Finn in Books

Would be hard to meet expectations
Huckleberry Finn is a story about deciding your values. Mark Twain has a lot to say about everything, from slavery, to how we view adults vs children, to general decency. It's a great read if you want to be challenged on morality and the process of judgement and trust. It is, however, really hard to get through some conversations where half the words have to be taken on context. Being a classic of literature, I had built this up unfairly in my mind, so I had to drop the score assuming you'd do the same.
Would be perfect for anyone learning Southerner though, looking for a cheap immersion course.

Sarah (7798 KP) rated Final Fantasy XV in Video Games

Epic
This is the first Final Fantasy I've played since X-2, and I was worried it had changed too much for me to like it anymore, but my worries were unfounded.
This is a fantastic game. Not for people who don't like RPGs, but if you love side quests and epic stories, then this is a great game to play. The world itself is immense, the effects are brilliant and the game play time is very worth the money. Although I've finished the main story, I still haven't finished all of the side quests!
My only negatives about this game is the dialogue and the ending. Playing lots of side quests etc means the talking gets very repetitive. And without giving anything away, the ending was just beyond depressing.

Not accessible, geared for certain audiences
I have to say I struggled to read this. Sarah Knight obviously comes from a very privileged background and gears her rhetoric to certain socio-economic classes. While at times she attempts humour, it falls a little flat as it sounds like she's trying too hard.
That being said, some of the advice is useful such as time management and prioritizing - however this sounds like a lot of other self help books and she doesn't seem like the 'anti-guru' she claims to be. It's a little pretentious, constantly talking about her Caribbean housing, when many don't even have disposable income.
She briefly mentions half way through that this book is not intended for such working-class people. That should have been at the front of the book.

What I assume doing coke for a week straight must be like.
How do I even describe a show like HAPPY!...because honestly I have no clue? This was one of the most over the top and fucked up shows I've ever watched and I freaking loved every single second of it.
HAPPY! Follows the human embodiment of a trashcan who you can't help but like named Nick Sax played by Christopher Meloni(best casting choice ever) who is a corrupt ex-cop turned hitman who ends up being visited by a little girl named Hailey's imaginary friend who is a talking flying unicorn named Happy voiced by Patton Oswalt(another perfect casting choice) who was sent by Hailey because she was kidnapped by a demented looking Santa Clause.

John Tuturro
The Soundtrack.
An epic rambling cinematic adventure and a gem that is filled with humor and amazing moments... my favorite Coen brothers film.
I just love this movie.... George Clooney as the smooth and fast talking pretty boy... and John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson. I don't think there is a performance that falls short of excellent from the entire cast. Even the blind Radio Station Man. The soundtrack alone gets played a lot on my iPod. I love the old timey feel and the great rhythm. It's so damn catchy. The whole thing feels like an epic goofy journey and it's inspired by Homer, so you know it's good. For added goodness, here's some alternate movie posters...
