A great film dealing with so many issues around the diamond trade and life in general in Africa. Full of action and great acting, a moving film and brutally violent at times.

Star Wars parodies are fun (0 more)
Lots of off color humor as usual (0 more)
If you enjoy Family Guy in general, you will find their parodies or random movie references to be the funniest in general.

The third in their series of parodies, It's a Trap gives the audience exactly what they are expecting if you have seen Blue Harvest and Something, Something, Something, Dark Side, but still a fresh set of laughs.


Mostly goofy, oddball stuff, but enough to recommend.
  
This is a good, comprehensive book about the Ancient World. The book connected all of the ancient cultures, and I like the combination between life in general, then the focus on some individuals.

Loved this book! Had the audiobook as well and listening to Yahtzee do all the voices just made it even better!

Highly recommend if you like Zero Punctuation or video games in general!

Rolling Stone's 461st greatest album of all time
Some great bass lines, especially the opener Albatross. In general a decent listen but some filler material. No standout tracks such as Rise or PiL.

Beautifully written, a bit too much romance, but I can take it for the quality of the language and the general story line. Witches are in for the season and this read is perfect!

Why in the books categorisation is it Fiction & Poetry as one? Seems a bit broad, surely poetry can have its own category but we can have fiction on it's own for general fiction books.

Thanks for the feedback, I agree that it is a bit broad, do you think we should have a general fiction option? Or do you think that fictitious books should fit into the other categories? Would love to hear what you think :)

For the large part I think it is generally clear what is and isn't fiction. However in some instances being able to just tag something as fiction or non-fiction may help. For example with Crime, there are a lot of books that are crime fiction but it is helpful to distinguish from all the crime non-fiction (there isn't a True-crime category.) As you can put in place 3 categories for each book having a plain Fiction tag shouldn't prevent additional categorisation. Just feels silly if you want to add the Fiction tag it also says poetry, when it may be some grim serial killer story.

In general a very good film
I loved this film full of action and a very good story the only thing is the ending I think it could of been better.
