Fantastic
I have been playing AOS for a year now and i love it. The rules are simple and easy to follow and there's an element in the hobby for everyone from minature building, terrain creating, minature painting and then the actual war gaming that comes in many different forms suited to how you would like to play.
The company is great a bringing new things out regularly, listening to and engaging with their customers.
The only downside is that it's quite addictive and you end up sinking a lot of money in it. I have four armies already...oops!

Battling the Borgia
This game is fantastic, once again drawing you in to renaissance Italy.
Great story and this is where you really take the fight to the Borgia foiling their plot to take control of Rome and Italy as a whole.
Lots of good battles in this and some new weapons added into the mix.
There are some epic scenes and Leonardos war machines make for some interesting missions, taking down early designs on gatling guns and tanks.
Character inclusion is also very much expanded with such historic figures as Niccolo Machiavelli, Dante Alighieri, The Borgias and the return of Leonardo da Vinci.
Epic sequel

Loved this film and the combination of Paul Walker
and Tyrese Gibson worked a treat. The lovely Eva Mendes was as pleasing
to the eye as always. The story line was fantastic. Go undercover and
work for the drug exporter and then bring him down whilst saving the
girl. Plus doing all this in a modded Mitsubishi Evo and Mitsubishi
Spyder, amazing cars and the exhaust tones were pleasing to he ear.
Why should I watch it? – Any fan of fast cars will love this film. It is full of awesome cars, awesome driving and of course Eva Mendes!!

Just felt a bit like a prequel rather than the next step in the fantastic beasts universe (0 more)
If you're also a huge harry potter fan like me you will literally be on the edge of your seat and gasp every time you make a connection with facts from the deathly hallows book.

I absolutely loved it. However, i felt like they dragged the story too much in the 2nd movie and filled time with silly things just to keep it long.

Would love to have a debate with people on the ending if anyone's up for it.

fantastic third book in the series
This is the third book in this series by this author.This is the final book in this series. Wow, what a final book, I just couldn't put this book down. This is darker and more intense than the other two books. This series can not be read as stand alone reads, they must be read in order. This is a dark romance read with an element that is beautiful interwoven in the story. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended series

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

A hilarious mockumentary
This is by far one of the funniest mockumentaries I’ve ever seen. It’s a hilarious take on vampires, following them around their daily lives in the run up to the Unholy Masquerade, it has some cracking one liners and truly funny scenes. Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement are fantastic, and the rest of the cast too play their roles perfectly. The rivalry between the vampires and the werewolves is a particular highlight. The dialogue is great and the entire film looks fabulous too. I’ve watched this again for the first time in years, and I haven’t laughed this much in a long time.

I received this copy of Dream Daddy from Netgalley and Oni Press in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not gonna lie. Having played the game, I knew I would love this book.

It has 5 stories each featuring The Dad's from the game.

The art is different for each story, a touch I really appreciated.

I think my favorite was "Dungeons and Daddies" which did a fantastic job of exploring the characters in an unfamiliar setting.

I don't think you would need to play the game to enjoy this book.
Just wrap yourself in the fluffy blanket of sweetness that is this book and enjoy!

What a feel good film
I am surprised that this film doesn't have better rating as I love a good classic and this is definitely I my top 10 list.

It really is such a lovely feel good film that you can sit down with the family to watch. Combined with a few fantastic songs from the title one for starters to "truly scrumptious".
I love that it is a very much an ugly duckling feel to the story.
Always love a dick van dyke film ever since I saw Mary Poppins when I was little.

One for those rainy days with a blanket and a bucket ful of popcorn.

Beautiful, insightful and funny
This was recommended to me by a friend and isn’t something I would usually read, however I am so glad that I did.

Although the back story is dark, the main concept is beautiful, about friendship and love.

It was such an easy read, I struggled to put it down as I just wanted to find out more about he main character, Eleanor.
My interpretation was that it was a fantastic insight into the viewpoint of someone with a behaviour/social issues, a strong message that we shouldn’t judge if someone is different, as we don’t know what they may be dealing with.
