Ross (3284 KP) rated Tres Hombres by ZZ Top in Music
May 1, 2020
Rolling Stone's 490th greatest album of all time
I was expecting this to be the long-bearded gimmicky hard rock funsters, however I quite enjoyed this. It reminded me of Clutch, a fantastic band, with a real blues/bluegrass feel. In actual fact, Clutch had covered Precious and Grace as part of their Weathermaker Vaults series. And the vocals on La Grange has clearly influence Tim Sult's style.
A good mix of blues and hard rock and fair above my expectations.

A very good Rom-com re-uniting Tom & Meg again. They have done a few films together now including the similar Sleepless in Seattle. They have a great chemistry together on screen. This is well written and directed and quite funny too, without being too mushy. A kind of will they, won't feel to it, funny to see this was made when online chatrooms were just becoming quite popular. Worth seeing even if you avoid Rom-coms like your in-laws!

A few things I love are basketball, Ben Affleck, and a feel good movie. The Way Back checks all of those boxes. Sometimes in life you don't make the shot and sometimes life can throw a pretty hard foul your way, but you gotta rebound, keep shooting, and play defense on all of the negative bullshit. If you keep hustling and don't give up you just might finish this thing called life with a winning percentage. Hell, you might even make the playoffs.

Hmm...I feel a little cheated that we didn't get to see a future with a happy Naho and Kakeru but at the same time I did still enjoy this ending. <spoiler>They changed his life enough that he didn't end up committing suicide, though it was very heart-stopping for a page or so wondering if he had done it</spoiler>. Not good for my emotions I must point out!
This is definitely up there with my favourite mangas!

Under powered
A decent Sci-Fi Action film but nothing especially new or different. Any film about super powers automatically makes you think of all the other super hero films, especially X-Men in case. Similar to @Limitless (2011) as well. The action scenes are good for the most part, but much like the pill in the film it starts to run out of steam towards the conclusion. Worth checking out but will feel all too similar.

Comedy film remake (I've never seen the original) from 2000 starring Brendan Fraser - here, at the height of his popularity following The Mummy films - and Liz Hurley, with the former playing a nerdy office worker who sells his soul to the devil (Liz Hurley) in exchange for seven wishes in order to gain the affection of a co-worker - wishes which, of course, never quite work out as he intended!
The result is an amusing enough 'feel good' comedy.

This book is not a normal choice of mine, but I just absolutely adored the cover and it kept grabbing my attention. The story left me not quite knowing how to feel by the end of it. The writing was good and the main character was a delight of loved her strong will and the need to keep going to save not only herself but her fellow class mates from this prison of a "dance school". I did feel that the description and getting to know characters better did fall alittle short though. The main story plot had very much potential and I did feel it was somewhat rushed. I liked how it went back and tried to fill in the blanks on how the school and master came to be, but I wish they would've furthered the telling on masters younger life and what made him make the horrific decisions he made. Overall I did enjoy the book even if I did have some negative thoughts as well.
