This raucous comedy focuses on the Gemstone family,a bunch of TV evangelical preachers lead by head preacher Eli Gemstone.

The main story focuses on eldest son Jesse is blackmailed by a couple of thugs who have a vidro of him and other members of the church taking drugs with prostitutes when on a church related trip to atlanta.As things get more complicated the rest of the family are dragged into it and much hilarity ensues.

I was never really a big fan of Danny McBride (who created the show also) but in this he is brilliant as the arrogant son Jesse,as is john goodman as his dad.

Book Rating

I received a copy of The Grace Year from Wednesday Books through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

It's a cute pink cover, isn't? This story is not cute or pink. It's a brutal story of misogyny and control.

Tierney is a dreamer who is not allowed to dream. Her existence is destined to be an evil siren who lures men to their Doom.

Fighting back is not an option. Until it is.

It's a story about survival and how your worst enemies can be the ones who should be on your side and your allies can be who you least expect.
..
Absolutely brilliant.

I was very much behind the times with this one and only watched it last Christmas. I'd heard many times over how brilliant it was that I was almost scared to watch it as usually films fail to live up to the hype. I can't say I was completely bowled over by it but I did thoroughly enjoy it. The songs were amazing, the "Never Enough" scene actually gave me goosebumps and I kept rewinding it to watch again. That was the stand out moment for me. Not sure whether I would watch it again but I have bought the soundtrack and listen to it regularly.

Escape from space

A fresh take on an old story.

A renegade CIA agent, the distant future and a corrupt government.

After being betrayed by his own government and sentenced to 30 years in cryogenic chamber 50 miles outside the earths atmosphere, our Agent is offered a way out...a suicide mission to the space prison and rescue the presidents daughter from a criminal rebellion that have taken control of the prison.

This to me is a 3rd part to kurt Russell's escape from series and I highly recommend it to any fans of them.

Great FX, great story, brilliant acting and some edgey twists.

Contents are good quality and game play has very little downtime as all players play simultaneously. (0 more)

Some of the books (component listing what each ingredient'effect is) feel like their bonus is not worth their cost, meaning less people engage in using them as a strategy. (0 more)

Quacks is brilliant

An enjoyable game with a nice theme. The game play is quick and fun with multiple strategies available.

I'm not the luckiest person when it comes to boardgames, but I still enjoyed the risk factor of removing an extra ingredient just to move further around your swirling board... Even if it did regularly end in my potion exploding.
