May The Force Be With You: The Middle
Empire Strikes Back- i heard that this movie is peoples, all time greatest/best sequel and the best movie out of the oringal trilogy. To me, no. Episode 4 and 6 are better. Their are excellent sences like.. the battle at Hoth, when Han gets Frozen and the battle between Dark Vader and Luke. The rest of the movie is slow and boring.

The plot: The adventure continues in this "Star Wars" sequel. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) face attack by the Imperial forces and its AT-AT walkers on the ice planet Hoth. While Han and Leia escape in the Millennium Falcon, Luke travels to Dagobah in search of Yoda. Only with the Jedi master's help will Luke survive when the dark side of the Force beckons him into the ultimate duel with Darth Vader (David Prowse).

To me their are better movie sequels than this one like.. "Back To The Future Part II", "Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers", "The Dark Knight", "Captain America: The Winter Soilder", "Toy Story 2", "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" and "Aliens". All of these sequels are 10x better than Empire Strikes Back.

Darth Vader was ranked as the third-greatest film villain of all time in the American Film Institute's 2003 list of the 100 greatest heroes and villains, and Wizard magazine selected the ending of The Empire Strikes Back as the greatest cliffhanger of all time.

The line "No, I am your father" is often misquoted as "Luke, I am your father." The line was selected as one of the 400 nominees for the American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes, a list of the greatest American film quotes.

I think Empire Strikes Back, even though its good. Its overrated and hyped up, to the point were its not just not as good as people say it is.

Like i said its good, but not excellent.

Tiger mum v gold digger girlfriend plus a hapless boyfriend
There are a fair few pros and cons with this book, including the writing. While the story itself is climactic, filled with twists, it reeks of class stereotypes, which were very unfortunate. Not all people from working class backgrounds are gold diggers, not all rich people look down on others, and not all boyfriends are clueless hopeless romantics.

A young woman begins a relationship with a man much wealthier than herself, who she hopes to extort luxuries in the future. The man, who is oblivious to everything on earth, has a tiger mum, fiercely protective over her son, having a loveless marriage and having lost her first child. So it's a battle about who wins Daniel and how far they will go.

It is fairly obvious which way the story will lean towards, especially by half way, and there are a few pointless characters such as Izzy, a friend of the mother. And Tooting is actually a very fashionable place I'll have you know.

Some holes in the plot, and irritating generalities, but good story.

Remarkable re-telling of an Icelandic murder case
Hannah Kent's detailed historical true crime story is fascinating, as she fills in the gaps about Iceland's last known case to end with the death penalty of a woman.

It isn't a murder mystery, more a fictional portrayal of Agnes Magnusdottir, who was condemned to death after the murder of two men, one of whom was her employer. It surrounds her last months kept in the home of a lawman and his family, as they grew closer to her and as she revealed more about the case to them. She confides in a young assistant priest, Toti, appointed as her spiritual guardian.

Here we find a rather ambiguous story about her so-called heroic employer, who seems to be more callous than what most thought about him. It is moving to read about the intense poverty she faced, and the loveless life she led, forcing people to behave in many different ways. There is a recurrent theme of jealousy throughout the book which shows what people are truly capable of. It is a battle for survival in a harsh, wintry landscape.

Not Just the Biggest, but Best Mario Kart Ever
Everybody loves Mario Kart right? My wife even loves Mario Kart, and that's saying something. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is currently the only game we play together, and it's awesome. I've personally experienced Mario Kart's power of bringing family and friends together since I was 5 years old and owned a Nintendo 64. I still own Mario Kart 64, and even have Super Mario Kart for the SNES. While these games are much simpler than the current iteration, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe still retains that blissful split-screen couch multiplayer magic. I never played Nintendo's handheld entries for that very reason; for me, Mario Kart has always been best experienced with other people. With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch, however, fans of the series can have it both ways. The game is excellent, and it's simply a must-own on the Nintendo Switch.
