Chris Evans is fantastic as Captain America. He is humble, polite and unused to stardom. I love how they make him look so small and weedy at the start of the movie. (0 more)

Great introduction to marvel
Captain America is such a great character. He cares about other people and always does the right thing.
This movie introduces us to characters we get to know very well in the marvel movies, such as Howard Stark, Bucky, Peggy and Nick Fury.
It's a movie you can watch over and over and still enjoy.

Call to Adventure
2019 | Abstract Strategy, Fantasy
Fantastic game with 2-4 player, solo, vs, and co-op capabilities. For a semi-random card picking game, the character you build by the end of the game is almost always a remarkably logical character. Half the fun is deciding who you've built from popular fantasy stories. Both vs and co-op games have very interesting (and very different!) gameplay. Just as fun with 2 players as with 4. I wish there were more hero and anti-hero cards, because we tend to run out of them, but that's really my only negative thing to say about this game. LOVE IT.

Oh I just love this album!
Gosh I can't believe this album came out in 2013, it truly doesn't feel that long ago!!
Michael Bublé has a fantastic way of drawing you in and making you feel so many emotions through his music. He's probably one of the most humble and funny musicians in this day and age and his voice just seems to be getting better and better every day!
It's a Beautiful Day is definitely a favourite of everyone's and the duet with Reece on Something Stupid is beautiful and full of class.
A true gentleman singer!!

Open world frontier outlaws fantastic
As a big read dead 1 fan I was extremely excited about this game. I would say to date, this is the best open world game in existence. I particularly love how the NPCs remember your previous interactions. I enjoy how you train your horse and customise your weapons and character look.
I look be how you can follow the main story, or get lost in the map hunting, fishing or finding stand alone random events or missions.

Thoughtful representation of LGBTQ characters (0 more)
Amazing Show
This is an amazing show because of the wonderful representation with having LGBTQ people in the show telling their characters' stories so beautifully and the story is not only incredible, it's important showing everything that we go through every day and bringing forth some powerful emotions to tell a thoughtful story. The sets and costumes are amazing as well and every minute of each episode is incredible. The second season of the show premiered recently and it is fantastic because of the great cast and the thought provoking storytelling.

Buy the soundtrack, don't watch the film
As per usual, another overhyped Hollywood film that claims to be innovative with its music numbers. No doubt, the soundtrack is fantastic, to the point I went and bought the vinyl immediately. But all the malarkey surrounding "timed music sequences" was nothing original, and I used the entire film as a background film to wash the dishes and do chores.

There is no real plot. It's like Fast and Furious with good music (I am not a fan of the former). So if action isn't your cup of tea, just listen to the soundtrack.

The hugely talented Mr Jackman
Amazing
A constant stream of powerful, catchy songs all accompanied by fantastic choreography and eye popping visuals. Hugh Jackman is brilliant as showman P T Barnum, as is Zac Efron and everyone else. I really couldn't find fault with this as far as entertainment value goes. My daughter has been playing the soundtrack and singing the songs ever since we saw the movie and that's fine by me (for now!). It's wonderful when a movie comes along with the power to entertain and affect you long after leaving the cinema.

Sound Cast
Wow, just wow...
What can i say about this fantastic tv show? The first season shocked the world by becoming a massive hit with sci-fi and horror fans alike. This young cast has amazing chemistry and the writers created something special. It took me on a trip down memory lane reminding me of things like the goonies and stand by me crossed over with alien and poltergeist. Season 2 picks up exactly where season 1 ended and continues to deliver a cracking story and I look forward to what these guys can do next.

Altered Carbon, (Netflix)

Alternately mind bending, exciting, confusing, thrilling, cleverly written, dazzlingly plotted, and all-around fantastic, this may be the best science fiction television show I’ve ever watched in my whole life. Watch it, and find out that I’m not exaggerating. Be forewarned: it is fairly confusing, and has tons of violence and full frontal nudity throughout. LOTS of violence and TONS of nudity. I LOVE this show! So clever!! (There are always going to be plot holes and logic jumps and gaps, let the show be what it is and you WILL be entertained!)
