Hmmm … that was a weird one.

Ever since Bruce Willis doing the voice of the baby in 'Looks who's talking' I kind of feel that a load of Hollywood actors have wanted to get in the same gig: enter Alec Baldwin in this.

Made mostly for kids, this lacks the sophistication of a Pixar movie (which also has stuff to keep the adults amused), and is pretty much what it says on the tin (and poster): a be-suited baby giving orders to his older (and jealous) sibling while trying to stop the evil plans of the CEO of a Puppy corporation where his parents work.

You can see from the off right where this is going, and how it is going to end up ...

378. Lake Mungo. One of the better faux documentaries out there. It follows the aftermath of a teenage girls drowning at Lake Mungo during a vacation and the events that take place afterward. It comes from the land down under, so not recognizing any of the actors helped with the believability of the story, which gets pretty freaky. Without giving anything away... it starts off with a paranormal edge at first then something totally unexpected which is rare, then goes on to have another twist or two in there before the ending. Filled with interviews from friends, witnesses, even newcasts and news footage it does a really good job at convincing you what you're watching really happened. Filmbufftim on FB.

Each chapter is from one of the 3 main characters POV. (1 more)

Has a nice flow to each chapter.

Fantastic Book

What an amazing book. Each chapter is written from one of the 3 main characters point of view so it really allows you to see into the mind set of each of them and how they perceive the events happening around them.
The chapters are quite consice making it all too easy to say "just one more" right the way through to the end.
It was nothing like I expected but so much more. Its quite dark and has a sinister feel throughout the book even ending with an "oh my god, what the f*ck" feeling.
I would highly recommend giving this book a read.

Billy Keith Hall (419 KP) rated Letters from Whitechapel in Tabletop Games

Feb 18, 2020

Logical upgrade on Scotland Yard- having a map the criminal can look at, rather than getting caught out looking at the shared map to determine where to go next and giving away their position. (0 more)

Would be good to have more counters of varying colours - to help the police in their investigations... Or alternatively printed maps that they can write on to help them remember what they've asked. (0 more)

Whitechapel

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Hidden movement games are a particular type of game that really stand alone.

So many options for how to strategise as Jack, that this game has comes down to the smallest of clues until the end.

Very challenging as Jack, but highly enjoyable on both sides of the law.
