Troubled Civil War veteran Tom Cruise goes off to Japan to train their new modern-style army just after the Meiji restoration; winds up being allowed to become a samurai despite not quite meeting the minimum height requirement.

Clearly wants to be a lavish Dances With Wolves-style epic drama; works well enough as a historical adventure with some well-staged action sequences, but not quite as moving or powerful as it would really like. Every Japanese person I know who's seen this movie seems to think it's supposed to be a hilarious deadpan comedy. Someone should tell Cruise it's bad manners to organise a kamikaze charge and not die alongside everyone else.

This is a simple yet genius format for a game. It is a PvP battle were the last one standing claims the Victory Royale. There are different modes available so should be something to suit everyone. You can play solo or buddy up with friends in duos or squads. If you want a battle on a bigger scale there is a 50 v 50 challenge. The game can be quite glitchy at times but bare in mind it is still a Beta version so there are always updates from Epic Games to improve the gameplay.

Look: If you're going to talk about art and cinema, you're going to have to mention NMB4C. It's simply a fact.
The time and effort that went into the movie, coupled against the beautiful storytelling make Tim Burton's classic film worth the watch. This reviewer has been a long-time fan, and continues to watch it at least 2x times per year. Why? Because it's just that fun. Not to mention that Oingo Boingo's front man (and epic composer) Danny Elfman does the singing voice for Jack Skellington. It's simply got a season run between Halloween and X-mas that make the film utterly enjoyable and fun. It's OOAK, and you'll be hard pressed to disagree.

Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated Instinctual (Rise of Iliri book 2) in Books

EVERY MAN WANTS HER. MANY WANT TO KILL HER.

Good luck to them….

In the second beautifully-crafted paranormal romance of this reverse harem epic fantasy series, author Auryn Hadley explores Sal’s gently-morphing relationship to the Black Blades—her comarades-in-arms and lovers ...

I'm just so in love with these books! We are back with Sal and her men. They are dealing with the backlash of coming out as all Iliri and finding the steel. Also figuring out where they stand in personal relationships. Balec brings in other elite teams to help with bringing home the steel but with it comes the race issues against Iliri. This was so good!
