Just finished watching on Disney plus not my usual cup of tea but I kinda liked it kat dennings plays a woman who's basically dumped by her boyfriend and tries to recontect with her friends plus she keeps this cat lady that she can see. OK it can get weird sometimes but I found it to be funny especially kat dennings who was the funny one In 2 broke girls shame there's there's only been series so far

I love the guitar work
"In Stasis" is my stand-out track
Melodic rock
I got into Of Allies last year, and speak to them often on Twitter - their latest album, Epoch, is an ethereal-sounding triumph of rock.

If you like your rock with a slightly prog feel to it, with powerful male vocals, and melodic guitar work, definitely check it out

My favourite tracks from the album so far are "In Stasis", "Play Dead" and "One19".

Mixing up characters from the other films
An amazing Spider-Man film
Finally saw it today with out knowing any spoilers. It's a great entertaining film carrying right on from the end of Far from home.
Definitely one for fans of the other Spider-Man films bringing back and teaming the villians together. Even at the long run time the film whizzes by before you know. If you liked the last two Spider-Man films you'll love this.

Book Rating
Disappointing.
I have to admit that I took a chance on this book. The main theme appealed to me: an 'old-boy' type institution where a girl tries to question all of the highly questionable, chauvinistic opinions of the boys who go there. Something bad happens to the girl, Jules, but I really think that the fallout from the act committed against her is far too glossed over and rushed. This is the point at which I realised just how much this book was aimed at the teen market and not at me (I should have realised before I started). However, I STILL think that it should have been more explicit - the act and what happened afterwards to the girl. How can our children learn what is acceptable and what is not until we tell them EXACTLY what is NOT acceptable? I really feel that far too much attention was paid to the main male protagonist, Jamie, especially after the attack, but I can see why. He also showed the opposite side of the story to the privilege of the other students. This could have been a whole separate book though, I feel.
I'm not so sure that Kiely wrote the female characters very well. The other females all seemed rather vacuous and 'thin'. Whilst some girls are like this, I still feel that in this day and age, there would have been more girls who would have felt they should come down firmly on Jules' side. That is perhaps naive of me, and this is far more true to life. This would raise some very interesting discussion points with young people though, I'm sure.

Odd ball hero film
It starts out pretty well but I think it lost its way about half way through. It's an ok mix of action, comedy but sometimes tries to be too serious and other times too funny! There is far too much cgi for me and despite the budget not all of it looks that good. By the time you get to the last 15mins it just didn't feel like the right ending for the film? A mix of the Mask with Superman, odd combo!
