I've noticed there aren't many places where feline characters have background and depth in the Star Trek universe, but this book did a wonderful job of giving insight into a different culture. There was quite a lot of detail in the body language cues of the Sivoans; I especially enjoyed the fact that their tails were the main outlet of most emotions. I've also enjoyed when Uhura has her moments, when she is vital to the plot as in this book and [b:The Tears of the Singers|1560530|The Tears of the Singers|Melinda M.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the character Tail-Kinker to-Ennien, for who doesn't enjoy that character that constantly baffles and confuses Spock?

An American Werewolf in London (1981)
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
1981 | Comedy, Horror
Off-beat horror comedy. Two American backpackers travelling through Europe are attacked by a ferocious beast in the Yorkshire Dales; one of them is horribly slaughtered, the other is less fortunate.

In with a shout as the best werewolf movie ever, although this is partly because of the lack of serious competition. The story hits all the usual beats, but is elevated by a knowing sense of humour (and jokes which really land) and Rick Baker's still-impressive make-up effects (it's hard to know which sequence Landis seems more fascinated by, the transformation or Jenny Agutter in the shower). A fascination with the weirdness of British culture, along with a supporting cast of great character actors, also helps to make the film distinctive. Very funny, very scary, occasionally very gory; a great horror movie.
