Not a typical punch kick superhero show (1 more)
Visually fantastic
Mindbendingly awesome
Really loved this show!
This psychedelic mind Bender of a show always left me guessing, and almost reeling from the diversionary plot twists which added to the style in which the show projected.
The narrative was very strong and precise, yet still devoid of any cliché or predictability.
If you haven't seen it and want a comic book themed show that's way off left field... This is for you 😉

Pure neuroscience!
This book is a fantastic view into the neuroscience behind zombies. It explains the how's, whys, and reasons that this pop culture monster could exist.
This is not watered down. If neuroscience is not your thing you won't enjoy this book. It uses highly technical jargon that might confuse people not versed in this topic.
With that said I enjoyed this book. It had the right amount of braiiins to keep me satisfied.

Brilliant Riffs
A Triumphant Piece Of Punk Pop
American Idiot is a modern classic and 21st Century Breakdown is a masterpiece and while this doesn't quite reach the heights of those two records, it is still pretty great. The record has it's highlight tracks, but as a whole it is engaging, thought provoking and exciting to listen to. The trio have still got their flair and they prove that they are at the peak of their technical musicianship at this point.

The album of a generation
I don't think there's anyone around my age who didn't love this album as a teenager. It's possibly one of the best debut albums I've ever heard. There's a few standout songs (In The End, One Step Closer) but every song is fantastic in its own right. This is one of the few albums that myself and my brother can actually agree on, and even used to listen to it together when we were younger. Genius.

Good game mechanics with the battle system (1 more)
Good story
Free run still needs a bit of work (1 more)
A couple of missions are frustrating due to odd camera angles
Great Game
Great game. The game mechanics are much better here and the story is fantastic. Being able to switch between the two main characters makes it incredibly interesting. The story is pretty good as well.

Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Nightcrawler (2014) in Movies
Aug 3, 2017
Extremely grim world of night crawling
This shows the basest nature of humankind. Wrapped up in greed and death, Jake Gyllenhaal's character is almost sociopathic in trying to get ahead by being first at crimes and accidents, and selling it to the media. At times you want to look away at the sheer horror of it all, but just like an audience or consumer you keep watching the train wreck.

A good origin story
This is another Marvel comic origin story, so yes it's fairly predictable. However for me it's one of the better Marvel films I've seen in recent years. Due to its mind and universe bending nature, it has a completely different feel to the other super hero films. Benedict Cumberbatch is a great addition to the Marvel line-up, however his accent does get pretty dodgy at times. It's intriguing, funny and the special effects are fantastic.

Special mention for Christoph Waltz who is amazing
Best Tarantino film in a while
This was one of the better Tarantino films after a bit of lull - especially following Inglorious Basterds. The story is relevant to current society in the US, albeit a slightly extreme version. It is as usual, very violent. But the story of slavery in America is important and it was only time that QT made a film about this time in history.
Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Once Upon a Rainbow, Volume Two in Books
Apr 10, 2018
A fantastic collection of fairy stories retelling some of the childhood favourites from an LGBTQIA+ pov. The style chosen to write these stories in may not be for everyone but I for one enjoyed their content and their filling of a gap in the inclusiveness of literature generally. As a beginning piece in providing reading material for all, this is a definite plus, but it is also something that needs working on and improving, those coming after will surely be able to improve.

Fantastic stories and Hosts!!
Love this podcast! Love that it's hosted by women! Love the Hosts, they're funny, personable, and they make these stories interesting so that even the most gruesome are told with such enthusiasm and creativity that cringing us kept to a minimum. I loved every second of the podcast. By the end of season 1 I was ready to donate! I wish these wonderful women and their loved ones nothing but success! Thank you for the stories ladies!
