Peter G. (247 KP) rated Wreck-It-Ralph (2012) in Movies
Sep 6, 2019
Made for everyone with a nod to gamers and the old arcade scene this was surprisingly good.
The story was very fresh and fun and the voice casting spot on and with great heart.
It's a shame it lost out to Brave as best animated feature, it can be a little sugary at times but it won over this reviewer with its nostalgic nods to games past and present and got to the screen just before ready player one, fantastic!

Oct 2, 2019
Overall, this was a great read. Some parts were completely terrible while others were absolutely fantastic. I would only reread parts of this novel as certain stories are better than the others but all in all, it’s a 4 star read.

Dance, magic, dance
Its one of those movies that you love as a child and when you come back to it as an adult you realise how messed up it is haha. I love singing along to the songs, but the orange hairy puppets still freak me out. David Bowie is fantastic as the goblin king if you order all the child marriage/kidnap and turn baby into a goblin thing. Overall, fun movie and a timeless classic.

One of the greats.
I've been in love with Greys Anatomy for years, seen all of the series, and have watched some fav episodes over and over. Shonda Rhimes is an extremely talented writer. This series is definetly one you'll want to commit too.
Following the life of Meredith Grey, her friendships, loves, becoming surgeon, it'll have you on so many highs and lows you'll become glued.

Continuation of The One and Only Ivan
The One and Only Bob follows Bob, the dog who is friends with the gorilla Ivan from The One and Only Ivan. While it is must read if you loved Ivan, I found this one falling a little short of Ivan. That being said, the writing style is fantastic with an easy flow that will keep you turning pages. Just like Ivan, Bob teaches valuable life lessons that are good for anyone, at any age.
Ross (3284 KP) rated Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service in Music
Jun 8, 2020
Rolling Stone's 189th greatest album of all time
Decent psychedelic rock. The first track is a 25-minute rendition of Bo Diddley's Who Do You Love, split into parts so that each band member gets a solo. This is fantastic at times, pretty self-centred and cringeworthy at others. There is then a cover of another Bo Diddley song, Mona (made famous by Craig McLachlan of Neighbours fame). A good listen, but maybe be ready to skip ahead 30 seconds now and then.
Mothergamer (1574 KP) rated The Umbrella Academy in TV
Jan 18, 2022
Right from the start this series grabs your attention with an interesting premise and well thought out characters. I never knew what to expect because the story always kept me guessing and the reveals in each plot point were great. The entire cast is fantastic and I kept watching because I wanted to see what happened next. The music soundtrack for the show is great too and fits really well with the vibe of the scenes that have music. I really enjoyed it.
Mothergamer (1574 KP) rated The Last Kingdom in TV

I love the books that the show is based on. If you have not read The Saxon Stories series by Bernard Cornwell, you should because they are excellent. The show does a great job bringing the books to life. There are some changes here and there, but they are small and work for the show. Alexander Draymon does an amazing job as Uhtred and the entire cast is fantastic. The series keeps the story flowing really well and is a great watch.

Funny and smart
A flying delorian!!!!!
Seeing what could have been
The greatest time travel movie of all time!
This is by far my favourite of the trilogy and that's saying something because the all the movies are fantastic.
Compared to the others though this has everything. They go everywhere. Past, present, future and alternate timelines which takes you on a fun journey.
The music is again fantastic and adds to every selcebe whether it's funny, suspenseful or just full of action.
There is a cast change with Jennifer but this ain't really distracting. Tbh I didn't even notice until later on and I'm aware of some drama behind the scenes with Crispin Glover which meant they had to use a stand in and nothing was noticeable. The actors were on top form playing different ages of themselves.
Their take on the future was an interesting 1 and nothing like what we actually have considering they went to the year 2015. Hoverboards, hologram jaws, flying cars and who would ever wear their trousers inside out haha and not an iPhone in sight. I found the past far more interesting as it's set during the first movie.
The story was great basically going into the whole thing about being seduced by the knowledge of the future to help yourself in the past. It's something we all want to do and given to the wrong person you can see how dark things can go.
Overall a fantastic, fun, charming movie which can easily be recommended and easily one of my favourite movies of all time.
