Tracy (238 KP) rated Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Vol 1: The Crucible in Books

The over the top Satanic Witch storyline (3 more)
Great plot!
I really liked the art
I have several issues with it (see below) and I still love it too much to give it less than 10 bombs
It needed some spell checking. Several errors in the writing. (3 more)
The Witches (especially Sabrina’s Aunts) lack substance. I hope that will change as the series develops.
These ideas of Satanic Witches being cannibals and murderers and Satan being conjured in the woods is fun at first, but it seems so irresponsible to revert back to the ideas that created Satanic Panic.
The aunts are cannibals. Fine I guess, but why?
It’s like EC Comics had a baby with the Archie Universe

Marvel keeps getting better and better can they top them with this movie in my opinion yes they did. Will Thanos complete his master plan???? The makeup for Thanos was a little off putting at first. Chris helmswoth, Chris Evans (with a beard), and Chris Pratt just those three alone how could you go wrong. The cliffhanger left us hanging in a good way but at the same time you go wtf. Preteen or teen Groot whatever you want to go by was a little off putting to me, but as a parent of teens it was like looking in a mirror. Definitely another homerun for marvel. Can't wait until the sequel

Brilliant game
I have played this game at least 20x over the past two months and absolutely love it. It is extremely playable even when only two players are having a go at it. The changing conditions makes it very refreshing, challenging and I would happily play several goes in one day. It can get bit addictive if you are competitive and playing at the hardest level as you so want to beat the game! It is one of the top games I played so far and would hardly recommend it. Playing time can be anything between 20 and 45mins.

I am hooked!
I love Backgammon, whether it is table top game, online or app. I just love it and can't get enough! The rules are simple - move all your stones to your home before your opponent, who goes in the opposite direction, gets their stones to their home. And with such a simple premise, there are so many strategies that can lead you to win and that's where the dice and bit of luck comes in as the dices determine how many steps you can take. The more you play the game, the quicker you realise which move was the wrong one that cost you the whole game. I just love it!

A Fantastic Show!
I'm not a huge sci-fi fan, but the combination of some of my favorite actors (hello Winona!) and the insane amount of 80's nostalgia - from the set, to the clothing and the soundtrack - makes it the wildest ride of mystery, fantasy and fun. The cast of kids are a great addition to the acting world and I imagine they'll all be world famous after all this is over. But I don't imagine the world of Stranger Things being over anytime soon!
Andy K (10823 KP) rated National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) in Movies

Who doesn't get fed up with the relatives sometimes?
In my top 3 Christmas movies of all time.
This time, the vacation comes to the Griswolds as the relatives come by for a helping of holiday cheer as Clark decides to makes his home a Christmas light spectacle while waiting for his Christmas bonus.
I think it resonates because we have all had those trying times with the family or the one relative you wish you could tell off or not have to sit next to.
The witty banter among the family as well as Chevy Chase's impeccable dry wit makes the film a venerable holiday classic for sure.

Ross (3284 KP) rated The Boys Volume 6: Self Preservation Society in Books

Some action and some character backstory at long last
Again, this volume is split in two - we have the story of when Payback (one of the corporate machine's top money-makers) are sent to give The Boys a message, and end up getting their bottoms handed to them. This story is good fun, with some thrilling action, more ridiculous superheroes being walloped.
The second half gives us some well-deserved backstory for some of The Boys - MM, Frenchie and The Female all get their origin story. These are at time sobering (MM), and at other times just flat out hilarious (Frenchie), but all serve to put some meat on the bones of these unusual characters.

This book wasn't my favourite out of the series yes it had twists and turns quite a few i saw coming , I'm not the biggest fan of viktor and i don't like elizabeth.
Viktor ok ish but beth....... iv been through crap that should have sent me more bat shit crazy than beth and yes i know "she has the crazy genes" but her character for me was flat and i just didn't like her in it. Benny was still on top form as usual. I missed jade she was my fave from the start and she kinda faded out in this book x but as a whole it was an amazing ride (the whole series )

AT (1676 KP) rated Playmobil: The Movie (2019) in Movies
Mar 6, 2020
I don't think this movie was as terrible as most of the reviews said it was. It's a kids' movie, about a sibling relationship, and basically, playing with a lot of the Playmobil sets together, as kids do. It was corny and dorky at times, but that's what made it fun. The "acting" was over the top at times, but it was how kids play with the characters. It definitely was silly, but I don't think it was awful. I laughed quite a bit. You just have to accept the play world of children when you watch it. It wasn't the best movie that I've seen, but it was still fun to watch.
EasterBunnyKiller (31 KP) rated Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) in Movies
Jul 31, 2019
I didn't go into this expecting much
This movie was pleasantly surprising. In a world of continual reboots and retreads, it was a nice change of pace. The fact that the movie explored an entirely different aspect of the Jumanji game from the first movie was welcome.
The script was top notch. Each main character was well established and had good development throughout the movie. The humor is well balanced and the actors clearly gelled together well.
Was simultaneously upset and pleased by the fact that the trailers for the movie (to my recollection) made any effort to showcase Bobby Cannavale, who is in my opinion, by far the most skilled actor in the movie.
