Erika (17789 KP) rated The Hangover Part II (2011) in Movies
May 12, 2018
Why was this movie even made? It was just a money grab. The Hangover was hilarious, and they tried to make lightening strike twice. It did not work, at all. For one thing, the facial tattoo on Stu... Why wouldn't Mike Tyson allow it to be an exact copy? It was weird, considering Tyson was in the first one.
The funniest thing that I remember from this movie is when Alan calls Thailand 'Thi-land'. Other than that, blah. Bradley Cooper was nice to look at throughout, which is the only reason I'm rating it as high as I did.
I did not see the third one, and I'm content with never seeing it.

Adorable Spirits (2 more)
Rotating board
Variety in play styles
Imbalance between spirits (2 more)
Can get clogged up and reduce action potential
Scoring can be weird
Kami-sama is an adorable area-control game all about putting shrines down in certain patterns to score. Each player has a spirit with various Powers that range from blowing shrines around to flipping a coin to get a special effect. Easy to learn and the various spirits makes every game different. I found this game plays best at 3 as at 2, it requires an automata and at 4 the board can get a little crowded for some spirits. The spirits are mostly balanced, but some definitely feel weaker than others.

It's hard to describe this novel. On the one hand there is a pretty straightforward mystery at its center, full of clever puzzles and hints of conspiracy. On the other though is a possible haunting, a weird romance, and a very unusual narrative structure. The book is told in the form of journal entries, letters, notepad scribblings, security camera transcripts, and other means. This method can be very effective at slowly revealing answers, and may make this possibly the first "found footage" novel, but it also somehow removes the suspense in many scenes, and periodically makes things unnecessarily confusing. Still, I enjoyed reading this book, and would be interested in a sequel, so that should say something.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Deadly Heat (Nikki Heat, #5) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Nikki is juggling two cases. She's working a serial killer leaving a weird clue to tie his murders together when someone connected with her mother's murder case tries to kill her. Can she juggle both while dodging bureaucratic red tape?
As usual, the writing is a bit hard to get into, but once I do, I get lost in the story. The characters could be a bit better developed as well. Honestly, both are minor flaws because I have fun with this book. Very creative tie in, and I am already looking forward to the next one.

Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Blind Faith (Sin Brothers, #3) in Books
Feb 13, 2018
Wow...That was fabulous. Sexy Nate finally catches up with Audrey after she left him five years ago. When their eyes meet across a ballroom it starts a rollercoaster ride of murder, weird cults and sexy nights, Nate will do anything to protect Audrey and his brothers as the series continues in the search for Jory and the kill switch codes so they can all live free without the threat of the Comander and Audreys evil mother Dr Maddison.
Its a fantastic read with never a dull moment, its action packed and super hot. Only problem I do have is the next in the series isn't out for 11 months! How will I manage without the Grey/Dean brothers.

Could be great!
I love finding ebooks on Libby and I typically place all 6 allowed holds for new and hot books. I have downloaded audiobooks, but I typically listen to these in the car, and its not compatible with Apple Car Play. So I have to use headphones...weird! And I wish my wishlists and markers would sync my account to the eLibrary site. The holds do, but that's all. I had a huge wishlist on the website but when I went to find a new book on Libby, my wish list was empty :(

Quirky
Well these are not your traditional idea of toys.
Some are frankly a bit odd looking. When looking though the book I sometimes thought "That looks like someone has made a toy pattern from a kids picture." They are often quite weird looking, and yet strangely appealing.
If you like slightly odd toys... this is definitely the book for you.
The patterns themselves are clearly written, with lots of colourful pictures and full colour charts where needed.
So far I have made a black Rill Raccoon as my 10 yr old fell in love with the idea of a Ninja raccoon... and I will be making a LOT more

Great reboot of a great franchise
As usual, when I first heard they were going to remake one of my all time favorite franchises, I was very concerned especially after the weird Tim Burton version.
I could not have been more wrong. The entire tone of the film was magnificent and very much in line with the intent of the original series. There were many homages to the earlier films, but also plenty of new stuff including the amazing CGI work animating the Apes and giving them personality.
The ending sequence on the bridge was also spectacular and set up the transition to the next film quite well.

Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated The Visit (2015) in Movies

This was an "ok" movie. The acting was a little weak. The cinematography was mediocre. The story was interesting, though. Shot in a "home video" style, which isn't unique, but the story itself was. A couple of teens go visit their grandparents they've never met and a lot of weird stuff happens during that week. There's a good twist to the movie you get about 2/3 into it. Not bad. The ending though, was... off. Like it went from being a "serious" creepy movie to being comedic just for the very last scene. Not sure what they were doing there, but whatever. If you're bored and you have nothing better to do, this one could entertain.

Not even gabriel byrne can save this movie
Hereditary- at first looked good from the trailers, but the trailers mislead sometimes. The trailers really mislead this movie. Overall some parts were good, others were bad. It seem like the first half was slow and the second part really jumped over 10.
One of my favorite actors gabriel byrne who by the way is a fair underrated actor couldnt even save this movie.
Im not sure, who this movie is for?
Is it for people who like these films....
1. The lobster
2. The killing of a sacred deer
3. Mother!
4. The cell
If so this movie is for you. Its weird, creepy to watch and overall disappointed.
