"Shawshank, I guess, because of the quiet nature of the movie, the development of it. I’ve heard that it’s a movie that didn’t really catch the multitude of fanfare for a while. People didn’t catch on immediately. I got it immediately. I got the story, the narrative, and who can’t listen to Morgan Freeman narrate a movie all day long? Also, Tim Robbins killed it. Our very own William Sadler, of course, who has brought to us Tony Teresi, in terms of [Joseph Sikora’s] Tommy’s father in Power. Sadler was great in it. Clancy Brown, who was in The Guardian with me and Kevin Costner, one of my first castmates. The Guardian was probably my second big movie. So, I love Shawshank."

Love It!!
I initially tried the demo for this game and loved it instantly so bought it that day. Never played a Yoshi game before.

Theres a large range of levels which are variable in styles of worlds, but tend to be of a crafted paper nature. Each level has a usual level and then a flip side playing the level end.

Controls are the usual Mario style of jumping and bouncing off heads of enemies. You collect coins, red and gold, and also flowers.


You can chose a coloured Yoshi and you can use your collected gold coins to buy outfits for Yoshi.


This is a fab game for the traditional platform gamers.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie became. Based on the trailer that was released with much fanfare and lackluster reception, I didn't have high expectations.

Jim Carrey is brilliant in his role as Dr. Robotnik. The other acting in the film is plenty good enough to ensure that Carrey didn't have to carry everything on his back. The story was actually surprisingly solid given the video game nature. Although Sonic did come equipped with quite a backstory to lend to film adaptation.

I saw this film in the theatre, and then I saw it again more than once after it was released digitally, with my children. Would recommend you definitely give it a go if you are on the fence,

Lavish mini-series is basically what you'd expect from Alex Garland: striking visuals, big themes, slightly bemusing plot. A computer engineer in a Silicon Valley tech firm discovers her boyfriend's apparent suicide was actually murder, connected to a secret project which threatens to change human perceptions of the universe forever.

The ideas of the series - about free will, determinism, the nature of the universe and of destiny - are undeniably fascinating and well-presented, and the acting is generally very good too. The rather glacial pace and borderline pretentiousness of some of it are more of a problem, but they should come as no surprise to anyone who's seen Annihilation or Ex Machina. Starts slow, but it will get its hooks into you as it goes on.
