General content
Humor
I watched this movie not too long ago at family movie night and everyone there enjoyed it. It is hard to find a movie that my family will all enjoy and agree on, but this one was awesome. The movie mainly follows two competitive, game-obsessed people and their friends as a traditional game night takes them on a wild and unexpected adventure. The movie kind of keeps you guessing and enthralled. There is lots of funny parts (some mildly inappropriate if I'm remembering correctly) and is over all very entertaining. It is your typical comedy, but manages to make all the usual cliches seem interesting and hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and would not mind watching it again. Would recommend.

Fun Writing Style
* I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*
This book is beautifully written. It is written in a poetry style that matches well with the characters personalities. The story is that of a young man and woman who were each others first love running into each other 10 years later. I will say that it wasn't as light as I originally expected it to be, but I enjoyed the characters critic of young love and love in general. The ending also fits well with the mood of the book. Over all this wasn't my absolute favorite, but it definitely deserves a read, if not for the story than for the writing style.

A game that can be as complicated or as simple as you desire
I first discovered this game at a board game convention where i entered a competition and instantly fell in love with it. The rules are simple and you can pick it up quickly.
The general aim of the game is to collect as many points as possible before all the tiles run out buy building cities, roads, churches, farms exct.
One of the main things i love about this game is the variety of ways you can play it. you can buy expansions for it so the posibilities are endless.

Movie review
Contains spoilers, click to show
Unlike so many of the books that make it to the small screen, Mortal Engines did very well in my opinion. A key requirement for a book to make it as a movie is keeping the storyline as close as possible to it's origins. Mortal Engines achieved this goal with only minor tweeks to allow the screen time to fit the general length. The actress who played Hester Shaw was thr very embodiment of the character. Though her facial scar wasn't as near as hideous as described. A point of contention was the fact that Bevis and Catherine survived the movie while in the book they were killed in the destruction of Medusa.
Awix (3310 KP) rated Equilibrium (2002) in Movies

Hugely derivative sci-fi action plodder. In a future world where all emotion has been outlawed and society has been retooled to include as many genre cliches as possible, Christian Bale is a fiercely calm enforcer of the general state of drugged-up indifference. Needless to say he begins to doubt the system.
Well, some bits are knocked off from Logan's Run, some from 1984, some from THX-1138, and most obviously of all there are some hugely blatant steals from The Matrix. Not one of Bale's finest performances. The film has a certain visual style to it, but the lack of originality, mixed with a good deal of silliness, bathos, and pretension, means it isn't even particularly enjoyable as a fun dumb action film.

I am so glad HBO unlocked some of it's contents. It's no secret I love crime documentaries, it's the majority of television that I watch.
This doc was a first hand account by FBI agents, and the 'winners' of the McDonald's Monopoly game. Agent Mathews was my favorite, he was straight up hilarious. I may have found some of it funnier than most, mainly because in the first ep he complains about healthcare fraud, which is actually the field I work in. FBI agents do not like it in general because it takes forever to prove, speaking from personal interactions with agents.
It was interesting that the 'winners' and other people involved actually participated. It made for a rounded documentary.

what the actual heck
I don't understand the point of this film. I know that so many films don't have to have takeaways or anything you're supposed to learn and that's fine. But I genuinely don't understand why this film was made and why it freaks so many people out. On top of the plot just sucking in general, Melanie and Mitch are just weird. Mitch's mom gives me the same vibes Uncle Charlie and niece Charly had in Shadow of a Doubt. So many of his films give me incestuous vibes and this one was no different. I also hate his savior complex.
Thank god this was the last Hitchcock film I had to watch. I will probably never watch a Hitchcock film again. Good riddance.
