Movie Favorite

"The story of Bobby Sands and the hunger strike he died from while imprisoned by the British government at the Maze prison in Northern Ireland in 1981 is not for the faint of heart. Michael Fassbender, as Sands, takes your heart nearly to the grave with him in a miraculously dedicated and brave performance. The politics of the strike, orchestrated to protest the unwillingness of Margaret Thatcher to recognize the IRA inmates as political prisoners, is a quiet backbeat to the action and is never demagogic. But like with all great films containing shattering performances, your feelings for the cause of the IRA at the hands of the British government circa 1981 cannot help but be brought into sharper focus. McQueen won the BAFTA Award for most promising new filmmaker for this film."

Terrible British accents suggested.

Dinosaur Tea Party is basically "Guess Who" for four players. It can be a terrific time, especially with kids. It is a bit more fun if you can somehow roleplay a dinosaur with a British accent. I would not bring this out for a Game Night with my gaming friends. However, it is a lot of fun with kids. It is a little too much for my 5 year old boy, but my 8 year old girl loves it. The art is amazing. There is a variant that can make the game more complicated if you do play it with adults, but I haven't played that variant.
