The Walking Dead - A TellTale Games Series: Season 1
The Walking Dead - A TellTale Games Series: Season 1
2014 | Role-Playing
An Instant Classic
Who knew that game play like this could be so addicting? I've played this season through twice on PC and once on Xbox One and I'm still not tired of the story. Each time you can change what happens and develop the characters differently. It's absolutely engrossing, to the point where you actually forget you're playing a game. Telltale are amazing at making games, I haven't found one I've disliked yet!

A great start to a classic trilogy
A great start to an epic story. Sir Ian McKellen is the stand out actor for me. This is a top quality film in every aspect. The only downside is it ends at a point where you feel right in the middle of a key scene.

A clever, grown-up Disney film with a great underlying moral
I was so astounded by this film that I watched it twice in a row. Beyond the cutsie animals and amazing graphic lies a much more darker message. Mixing godfather and classic 70s crime shows, this intelligent piece of Disney talks about discrimination and exploitation. Very different from the days of princesses and sweet melodies. One of my top favourite Disney films.

An ok horror comedy, with a made for TV feel to it. It's pretty much a copy of the cult classic Fright Night, but this time with a Werewolf in place of a Vampire. This time round it's a girl (Nina Dobrev from Vampire diaries) who has to fight the new neighbour. Not a bad werewolf costume but this is far from scary and not that funny. It's not a patch on Fright Night.

A fun tale of kids of a weekend detention at at high school. These teens are all different but they learn they are not so different after all. I took my son to see this when a local theater was showing this classic. with his reaction i believe this movie stands the test of time in the eyes of teens it was like when i first seen this film when i was his age.
  
Elf (2003)
Elf (2003)

SANTAAAAAAAA!
Elf stars Will Ferrell as buddy the elf, after climbing into Santa's Christmas sack as a baby, he is accidentally taken (or kidnapped as he was not returned) to the north pole, their he is raised as an elf until discovering the truth and decides to find his parents and discover who he is.
With plenty of laughs and memorable moments, it's easy to see why elf has become a family Christmas classic.

This is my Favorite Bill Murray Movie
I know he's done a lot of great comedies, but for whatever reason this one continues to make me laugh every single time. It's smart in a way it shouldn't be, his reactions are over the top, but there is nuance to them as well. There's a scene where he's talking to a dead guy and it's pure magic. This is a desperately underrated classic.

Entertaining but not as good as the original
I love that they recreated a classic but updated it. Kevin Hart and Dwight Johnson are hysterical in it! Jack Black is beyond awful. He is supposed to be a teenage girl, but he behaves as if he is flamboyant and mocking of a homosexual. It's embarrassing to watch his scenes and horrible acting in this particular movie.

An entertaining family adventure film most will enjoy. It is big budget and that shows in the amount of CGI effects, but at least they do look good. Not particularly original, it does pay homage to Disney's Fantasia at one point which was a nice touch. Kinda reminded me of the films I enjoyed when I was younger like The Neverending story. Fun for all ages if falling short of a classic.
