"I read The Easter Parade or Revolutionary Road every year. Richard Yates is just a good word-for-word on-the-page writer. He couldn’t be more different than someone like Joy Williams or Raymond Carver. His sentences are very complex, the stories are complicated and he was such a miserable man. I always like people who would hate me. I don’t know what that’s about. But Richard Yates would definitely hate me"

Finally a transformers movie not directed by Michael bay which makes for a better movie less destroying cities and more about family a movie with soul and emotion character driven. Bumblebee is the star of the movie and it works with support from both John Cena best work outside of the wwe plus hailee Steinfield leading the humans love the easter eggs which I spotted thruout the movie love to see a sequel

ARC That drew me in from start to finish
Mister North has delivered once again! Just as expected, he took me on a grim adventure with many twists and turns. You can never quite figure out where it's going next and never see the final plot twist coming. I also loved the little reference to Whisper man, I like a good easter egg. I can not wait for Alex North's next book. I devour them from cover to cover.

Album Rating
Rolling Stone's 426th greatest album of all time
An incredibly atmospheric live album (Cheap Trick really seem to have been massive in Japan, like Beatlemania level), including "I Want You to Want Me" and a number of other foot-stomping rock and roll songs. One nice little Easter Egg was discovering that the speaking at the end of "I Want You to Want Me" was sampled to introduce "Jimmy James" by the Beastie Boys on Check Your Head.

Book Rating
Remember Who You Are exudes the love of Disney with every paragraph. Every chapter starts with a quote from an iconic film and quotes are hidden like easter eggs throughout the story.

Poppy's story could easily have been lifted straight out of a Hollywood rom com: it has sex, sass and suspense as well as an amazing best friend and men we love to hate.
What could be better? This story with the addition of a Disney castle of course!

I haven't seen all the Fast and the Furious films, but you know me, I love a good action film with explosions and things so I thought, why not?! I got up early Easter Sunday and took myself to the cinema for Fate of the Furious. I'm really glad I did. It might not be the best films ever made, but it was really enjoyable... and ladies... Jason Statham with a baby... your ovaries will ache, and I'm not even particularly particularly keen on him!

Book Rating
Set just after the events of Rogue One, this novel is about how the Empire struck back. It features the elite Inferno Squad, put together to infiltrate one of the rebel cells. The novel is also inspired by Battlefront II.
I liked the characters in general, and the story was interesting and well-paced. There are also some Easter eggs from The Clone Wars television show. Christie Golden has always been a solid author of video-game/franchise inspired stories. I hope Disney gives her another book to write.

One of those movies I watched many times as a teen!
A guilty pleasure, I cannot lie. If I watch this movie today for the first time ever, I wouldn't rate it this high. It's a bit cringy, let's be fair.
But I watched it many years ago, I re-watched it so many times that I know most of the lines, and even know the easter eggs, and I will definitely enjoy watching it on a random Friday night whilst eating pizza - so there you have it - my honest review!

I watched this on Netflix and I did enjoy this, a lot more than i expected. I'm a gamer myself and I got the excitement of going into a VR type world and playing games like that. Who doesn't love finding easter eggs in games?

I enjoyed the storyline. It was new and fun and I was cheering on the good guys from early on. I wonder if they'll make a film based on the second book? If they do, I'll watch it.
