Glad I waited for the sale...
This game has so many redeeming features, but if the gameplay doesn't cut it, what's the point?

The graphics are stunning, probably the best I've ever seen, the casting is absolutely incredible, and the idea behind the game is brilliant.

Unfortunately, after several hours of walking and trying not to fall over...the game does get a tad dull to say the least. That is the majority of the content of the game. Walk. Stumble. Repeat.

This series is one of my all time favourites! It's such a unique and strange concept that it must works perfectly! I love the whole plot line and how it flows so brilliantly into each episode. Mike is so brilliant and Millie makes an excellent Eleven and I couldn't imagine her being played by anyone else! The rest of that characters/actors are just as good! They all work so well together and have great on screen chemistry! Amazing series! Truly worth the watch!

I don't quite get all the hatred for this film. It's not brilliant by any means and is a bit draggy at times but I was still entertained enough to want to see how it ended. Blake Lively looking as unglamorous and as a far away from 'Gossip Girl' as can possibly be puts in a very good performance in the lead role and I liked her relationship with Jude Law. Overall it's not bad but I probably wouldn't be in a hurry to watch it again.

2019 | Adventure, Family, Fantasy
Sequel to 2014s Maleficent, that is now freed from the constraints of having to tell the Sleeping Beauty fairytale from the point of view of the wicked Queen.

With the plot here set in motion by a marriage proposal to Aurora, she and Maleficent travel to meet her suitors parents, including Michelle Pfeiffer as Queen Ingrith, who proves to be a 'real' Wicked Queen (that's no spoiler!), and who engineers a war against the fae folk.

In short: slightly better than the first, but still not brilliant.

Ross (3284 KP) rated In Utero by Nirvana in Music

In Utero by Nirvana
In Utero by Nirvana
1993 | Alternative
Rolling Stone's 435th greatest album of all time
I think this is my favourite Nirvana album. There is so much rawness to the sound and the lyrics and, with the backdrop of Geffen wanting a commercial success to follow Nevermind's , it is an incredibly brave album to have made. Cobain said at the time he made an album that he would want to listen to and that is exactly what this is. So much frustrated anger and so many brilliant songs and a fairly diverse sound.
