such a fun clever witty read. One if the biggest complaints is although it has multiple pov everything is in first person which can be a little confusing at first. However each character has a distinct personality making it easier to sort out. I highly recommend this adaptation of a classic.

1999 | Horror, Mystery, Romance
Depp at his peak powers in this horror fable, the surroundings and gothic visuals get a special mention as they are very much Tim Burton's trademark.
Its an exposition heavy murder mystery that has great character actors and is quite comical.
Very entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable adaptation of Irving's novel.

Excellent fantasy crime noir
I love this game - a great investigative story, with brilliant characters, and great gameplay. Probably my favourite one of Telltale's games, and highly recommended.

For Whom the Gods live
The onscreen adaptation of Neil Gaiman's book is an excellent one. Combining topics of philosophy, religion, culture and modern day icons around present America, it stylistically portrays do we need God and whether Gods need us. A bit explicit for everyone's taste, nevertheless, a treat to sore eyes.

Fantastic
Based on the book by Neil Gaiman, this series visits various Old Gods who are in competition with the New Gods.

After being released from prison and having a less-than-pleasant homecoming, Shadow Moon becomes a willing participant in Mr. Wednesday's plan.

My favorite Disney movie, so I have been most excited for this adaptation. I personally thought they did a great job and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Though, in this movie, I did feel that Lefou stole a bit of the spotlight. I found his character to be so funny in this film.

Perfect for people who enjoy mystery, drama and twists. (0 more)
This is a brilliant adaptation of the novel (Liane Moriarty). It has an incredible cast, I feel as though they portray the original characters very well. This by far one of my favourite shows, it's only bettered by Meryl Streep's character in season 2.
  
Everything, Everything (2017)
Everything, Everything (2017)
2017 | Drama
Though it briefly expresses creative moments that attempts to give itself uniqueness and prospers from cute leads, Everything, Everything is ultimately more of the same ol’ terribly flawed YA novel adaptation. But at least it's not dreadfully dull.
Critic- Rendy Jones
Original Score- 2 out of 5

Not many games are designed specifically for 2 players. 7 Wonders Duel is an effect adaptation of the normal 7 Wonders, that plays wonderfully with 2 players.
