A decent forth season featuring Morgan from The Walking Dead. Nice to finally have a form of a crossover between the two series. It has some interesting cool characters and interesting plot lines.
The only downside was how and why some key characters were killed off. Which makes it feel quite different to the previous series.

A Fun Time
Do you like coming of age movies?
Ever wish there was more humor... maybe that it was set in modern day, but with an eighties nostalgic feel?
Take that and make it NOT family friendly, and you've got Good Boys. Just saw an early screening of it and it was great!

This series ended up keeping me up till 3am XD. Really good English series that keeps you guessing. Lots of twists and turns that make you feel really smug when you suss some of them out before the reveal! great set of actors and a crazy set of events that make you want to keep watching to see how they all link up.

Rolling Stone's 332nd greatest album of all time
This was much better than "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight" in my opinion. The songs vary quite markedly throughout - we get the "more Richard" songs which have a very Talking Heads/Roxy Music feel, and the "more Linda" songs, which are softer, more Carpenters. A good album overall and an interesting one.

Rolling Stone's 433rd greatest album of all time
A good collection of 70s soft rock songs. The only familiar song for me was "My Sweet Lord", and this very much encapsulates the feel of the rest of the album, slow melodic folky rock. There are a number of much more upbeat rock and roll songs squeezed in at the end.

Cult classic
Its a cult classic and has been referenced in spoofs which does mean a new watcher may recognise scenes or know the plot. The acting is very good and you get a feel for who each character is well. Hannibal is played well without he becoming an obvious lunatic.

I have read a few books by Harry Manners and have enjoyed them all but The Ruin Saga just leaves me wanting more. I would compare it to S.M. Stirling's Change books which are some of my favorite. Mr. Manners does such a good job with character development that you feel that you actually know these people an are invested in what happens to them. Brink continues the story that was left off in Ruin and is just as good if not better. My only gripe is that I have to wait for more.

2018 | Drama, Music
THIS MOVIE IS SO PURE. Hearts Beat Loud‘s tagline is “The Feel Good Movie We Need Right Now” and I don’t know if I can describe it any better. It has great acting, great music, a great story about relationships and love and real-life problems, great design and editing, great everything. I could try and go into details but it just feels like I can say “every bit of it feels good” and tell you the music will be stuck in your head for months and call it a day.

The design of the school
Great Survival Horror
This was a very good survival horror game back in the day. It had the feel of a teen, slasher film and reminded me of The Faculty quite a bit. Apart from the Resident Evil games and The Suffering there weren't many Survival Horror games about for the Xbox. The gameplay was very atmospheric, you often needed a torch to search around the school at night. It had a co-op mode for a second player. A great game for the time.

I have a love of Fairy Tales so I was really excited to have the opportunity to read this novella. Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of it. I tend to like stories where I am connected to the character. I really didn't feel connected to any of the characters nor did the story hold my attention.

The writing was good, but the twist in the story was extremely predictable and was a little disappointing.

Ultimately, I'm giving this 2 stars. The writing was good but the story missed the mark for me.
