Play levels based on six different Pixar film franchises. (2 more)
Two-player split-screen support makes this a great game to play with kids.
You can play with either physical or motion controls.
The hub world serves no purpose beyond level selection. (2 more)
Voice samples often become repetitive during gameplay.
Platforming feels a bit simplistic when using a controller.
Awkward movement controls always held the original game back, but now Rush plays great with a controller – and you can still use the Kinect if that's your thing.

Original Score: 4 out of 5

Beauty and the Beast (2017)
2017 | Fantasy, Musical, Romance
FANTASTIC
I will admit that I was forced to watch this by one of my more girly friends. I have never watched the original as not a big fan of cartoons and as a child I watched mostly action and adventure films not princesses.
 I really enjoyed it and was very surprised it was as good as it was. My only downfall (if you can call it that) is I wouldn't think it was suitable for my 4 year old as some of the scenes can be a little frightening.

Would definitely recommend this to anyone!

[Harry Manners] remains one of my favorite authors. [Fray] is the third installment in [The Ruin Saga] and picked up just where [Brink] left off. As Norman and his crew follow Billy to stop the world from ending completely.

[Manners] really knows how to tell a story as well as weave in and out of the past and present without losing the audience. This is a skill not all authors can say they possess. If you have not experienced any of the books this man has written and like adventure on a cerebral level what are you waiting for?

This book is one you can read time and time, again. Simultaneously beautiful and tragic. It details growing up, suicide, puberty, depression, anxiety, relationships, sex, drugs, and secrets. Told by way of secret letters in a diary style, each one showing more and more clearly the daily life of Charlie, a strange outcast who wants to belong but also just wants to observe. I highly recommend putting yourself through this wonderfully written adventure. Get ready to be heart broken by almost every page and uplifted by the moments of elation as though they were your own.

Engaging mystery
Well rounded characters
Good ending
Absolutely amazing!
"Spirit Circle" is an amazing manga that pairs characters that are well rounded and have interesting motivations with a story that is genuinely engaging. The main characters Fuuta and Kouko are dynamic and sympathetic, while not overpowering the side characters. Additionally, the manga isn't overstuffed with the traditional tropes that you would expect to find in an adventure. The art is beautiful and fits the mood perfectly.

Overall, it's just an amazing read and I would highly recommend it if you are into a good mystery.

Movie Rating
This week, I'm doing a Mission Impossible marathon, and I'm fixin' to watch Rogue Nation here in a bit. The MI movies seem to be very solid action/adventure films, and I dig it.
So, prior to watching this film a few days ago, I had only seen parts of it.
I think I liked MI2 more than MI1 actually. To me, the story seemed to flow better, and I really liked Thandie Newton in it. Though, the shtick with the masks is completely irritating to me.
Dougray Scott was a compelling villain, and I think the strongest villain in the series.

When Badger takes Rabbit on a little adventure the light going on and off create a mystery which can only end in,... SURPRISE! This simple book aimed at the young listener and reader is ideal for the build-up to a birthday or for a child who has a fear of the dark as well as a general, good fun read with others. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the small details secreted away in the illustrations and encourage your youngsters to explore a different point of view of the story that is being told through them.

This is what I would call an epic adventure through different worlds. Starting from page 1 you are thrown in, quite confused, into a new world. In this new world pretty much anything you believe or can dream up can show up. Step in a teenager who doesn't believe in magic and a little girl who believes with her whole heart and you have a book.
I enjoyed the world building and the fact that this was not like any book I had read before. The fantasy and characters were unique but there were a lot of them to keep track of.
  
This three box set series is exciting, thrilling, and one epic fantasy.
The series follows Dana a reluctant princess and Will a man who can see more in Dana than just the facade on the outside. Together they must save the empire and maybe each other along the way.

This is an epic fantasy that brings you in and makes you want to read all three books in a row. It is wonderful to have a box set that let's you do that. If you enjoy epic romance and an adventure to save a kingdom you will enjoy this.

Imagine a world where you could turn back time and make different decisions based on what you thought the consequences might be and you have Life is Strange. The main character is Max and you basically shape her character by making choices for her. Its more involving than that and it tests your morals quite a bit. A nice easy game to play and a good story make for a very enjoyable adventure game. This was on game pass on Xbox One
