Huge areas to explore
Very original
Ground Breaking Classic
The game that probably helped sell the Dreamcast. This was unlike anything else at the time. Almost an open world game where you were free to explore, train your martial arts moves or just pop to the arcade for some retro Sega classics or darts! Along with some 3D scrolling beat em up sections. Something few games have tried since sadly. You will spend days worth of hours playing this!

Decent adaptation
This movie followed the book as well as can be expected considering it was a "made for TV" min-series comprised of two separate parts. Characters were explored as much as possible in the time frame given but the world isn't nearly as well developed as it is in the book. Like any amazing book brought to film many vital pieces get left behind, but the heart of the story is still captured.
  
Forbidden Planet (1956)
Forbidden Planet (1956)
1956 | Classics, Sci-Fi
One of the original sci-fi classics
Up there with the original War of the Worlds as an original science fiction classic.

The art direction, look, feel and musical score of the film are amazing even by today's standards. Ok some of the special effects have not aged well, but it doesn't take away from the foreboding and interesting adventure.

Watch a brown-haired Leslie Nielsen do battle with the Krell alongside Robby the Robot.

Insight into the gold rush (0 more)
Having found this randomly, I wasn't sure what it would be like, but wasn't disappointed, although I didn't warm to many of the guys involved and found them quite selfish and not overly pleasant but it helped to show how difficult it could be to make the journey back during the gold rush and what months as a group could be like.

It was a relively easy and informative 4 episode watch, through some amazing scenery....

fantastic read
This is a set of four books, 1. Splash, 2. Captured, 3. Steam heat and 4. Hot spices. This series of books are all extremely hot, intense, sweet and they have no cliff hanger endings. Each book is very well written with exceptional lovable characters. Each book will have you hooked from the first page till the end. Each couple have amazing chemistry between them.



Highly recommended box set

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

A Discovery of Witches - Season 1

Say what you want but a girl needs her share of brooding vampires and this shows provides just that. I knew the book but I wasn’t very keen to continue the series as I didn’t like reading from her POV, but I always loved the mythology the author built and a TV series is perfect for me.
The locations are amazing (even though I’ve never seen Venice so empty xD) and the story is compelling. Can’t wait for the second season!

Holy crap!! I will honestly say I had low hopes for this book. It was on the free list I got from an author I followed. I chose to read it because the cover looked pretty awesome. Little did I know I would stay up all night reading it. I was enthralled by the story and had to know how it ended! I will be buying the second and third in the series and hopefully they will be just as amazing!

A real hit or miss show for me.
Don't get me wrong I enjoy Black Mirror but the show can be a real hit or miss for me because when it's good it's freaking AMAZING! But when it drags I lose all interest. For me personally White Bear was my favorite episode if Season 2 and I really loved the twist they came up with but then you have a dumpster fire like the Waldo episode which I really hated.

Stunning cast and amazing story. (0 more)
Ben Affleck as Batman (0 more)
Absolutely nailed the whole feel of the suicide squad and adding Jared Leto's Joker on the side, put the final cherry on the cake. The only let down for DC, was casting Ben Affleck as Batman, though we are saved the torture of his presence, as his appearance in this movie is relatively small. It's not often DC make a good live action movie, but this one does hold the ranks.
