Fun Action Comedy
This seemed to spring out of no where, only spotted a trailer this week. Apparently Netflix's biggest budget film to date.
A mix of heist, action, comedy caper as interpol and the FBI try to catch the world's most wanted art thief.
There is a good balance of comedy and action as we tour several destinations around the globe in a treasure hunt for 3 jewelled eggs said to have belonged to Cleopatra. The main trio and the chemistry between them when all on screen together is the real highlight.
Overall a bright, breezy, fun film that was enjoyable if not actually raising the bar for these sort of films.

If you know anything about Gods and Goddesses of any pantheon, then you will know that things are never smooth and simple. Instead, confusion abounds until such time as it makes sense. This is how I would describe Hunter Sacrificed. It is a short prequel that nevertheless manages to impart a huge amount of information. You learn about Minerva and Arawn, the Triad, and how the Wild Hunt comes to be.

Although this was short, it was very well written, with no editing or grammatical errors that I found. This is enough to whet your appetite and definitely leave you wanting more. Definitely recommended.

The Black Chalice (Revelations 1)
By Lauretta Hignett
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A cursed woman, destined to bring about the apocalypse. The obsessed zealot, determined to hunt and kill her.

And the demon who wants to save her.

It's the end of the world, but not as we know it.



Well that was different! I liked the concept the characters were actually likeable. Eve is definitely a breath of fresh air when it comes to female leads she’s funny without it being forced and her outlook on life is awesome. What’s more complicated than the end of the world? Throw a love that can never be in maybe.

David McK (3633 KP) rated Twister (1996) in Movies

1996 | Action, Drama
Come for Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt; stay for the flying cow
Disaster movie - of a sort - from 1996, that is probably best remembered for 2 words: "flying cow".

This follows the exploits of a group of storm chasers - who really only act as ciphers to move the audience from one breathless set piece to the next - who are doing, well, just that: trying to get in front of a Twister to launch scientific equipment up into it to further their understanding of the same, and so that they can better predict just when and where one is going to hit.

Storm Chasers, apparently, are a real thing. Why you'd want to be one is beyond me.
