Another mad comedy
This 1990 comedy series stars the brilliant Nicholas Lyndhurst as Peter Chapman, a university lecturer who gets recruited by MI5 to be an adviser for its agents. Three season of really silly comedy situations and characters follows as he tries to stay one step ahead of an inept KGB

"Here’s a movie with a political conspiracy plot that’s all too real. Warren Beatty stars in this elliptical thriller, playing a reporter who insinuates himself into a murderously effective multi-national corporation. Startling, eccentric, and a scary-close approximation of the world we actually live in today, this film continues to stoke the twin fires of paranoia and mistrust."

Cheering for Gin seems to be a regular occurrence for me with this series and this was certainly no different, either with the bad guy or with the reappearance of one Donovan Caine--total arse!

Go Gin, go Gin, go Gin.

That last bit with Donovan was so good!

Can't wait to read more of the series.

This is one of the most unusual novels I've ever read, and it is so layered you'd think its almost an onion, but it is deceptively simple at the same time. Take a look at my #bookreview of this novel on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/06/12/a-revealingly-obscure-story/

3.5 stars, mainly because I missed Jase for a lot of this book and having to read about Dornan and his special brand of retribution *gips* wasn't pretty.

I am so intrigued by what will happen next with Jase and Julz, though, that I'm going to read book 6 as soon as I finish writing this review

A short story about Will's undercover adventure that occurs between books 6 and 7 of the series. The first chapter was jam-packed full of action. It was a quick read and while each discovery surprised me, I felt it was lacking something - but I'm used to the full-length stories, so maybe that's just my problem.

Though it is likely a personally biased opinion, this movie will always be hilarious to me. Classic Will Ferrell and a phenomenal supporting cast of Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Christina Applegate, David Koechner, and a slew of other stars make this a film that can be watched again and again while seeing something new every single time.

Mumble Mumble Mumbe Part 1
Lets get all of the 80's action stars and throw them into a movie. Will Bruce and Arnold be in it, nope well for only 1min and 30secs. Yes you heard that correctly two of the biggest action stars only get 1min and 30sec screen time cameo with Sly. Making jokes and one-liners. So whats the plot then.

The Plot: A group of mercenaries is double-crossed during a mission and are approached by Church to overthrow the ruthless dictator of a South American country. It isn't long before the men realise things aren't quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of betrayal. Although their mission is compromised and an innocent is in danger, soldier of fortune Barney and his comrades decide to get the job done.

Also the charcter names are really weird but intresting and predictable. Like Lee Christmas, Gunner Jensen, Yin Yang, Hale Caesar, Toll Road, Toll and Mr. Church.

All of 80's stars are here like Dolph Lundren who, ohh the russian guy from rocky 4 and Randy Couture who, oh a retired MMA fighting.

Its a funny, action movie and will have a good time watching.
