A highly original dystopian novel
It's a sign of good book when you can't bring yourself to put it down, and Wool certainly fulfills this.

It's a fantastic and a different take on the dystopian future novel. It's claustrophobic and one of the few books I love that I'd actually like to see made into a (decent) film. There are some great characters, an intriguing premise and it just keeps you reading.

2015 | Sci-Fi
Great film
This is Ridley Scott's best film in years. Considering it's about one man stranded on Mars, it's surprisingly interesting, full of humour and intrigue. Matt Damon puts in a great performance holding a lot of the film on his own, although the supporting cast are fantastic too. It has a really good soundtrack and is also very close to the original book by Andy Weir. One of the best films of 2015.

Echo Arena is going to have a place in everyone’s Oculus library. Its unique brand of frantic frisbee action will please both casual players who just want to enjoy a few rounds of VR and hardcore players looking for a competitive multiplayer experience.

The writing style is lively and I couldn't stop reading. I was 90% finished with the book and I had to wait a couple of days to finish the last 10% because I got caught up with emotions and I just didn't want this story to end

Boyhood (2014)
2014 | Drama
Unique, masterful coming-of-age film
Richard Linklater is incredible. He has such patience and a wonderful eye for human nature. To make a film over 11 years is no mean feat and yet he accomplished a unique and beautiful piece of art. The film itself is about the childhood and adolescence of Mason Evans Jr. and the subtle changes of growing up, that make this an original coming of age movie.

The way the various stories cross over
The visual look of the film
Comic book comes to life
A very stylish film based on a graphic novel, the film has a largely monochrome look which works well with the comic element. The film consists of a few stories that cross paths in Sin city. All of them are very good as well as the main story piecing them together. Very original.

Very bland track design
Extremely overpriced
Like any other kart racer we want interesting levels, tight controls and fun power ups. VR Karts doesn't deliver any of that. The VR is welcome but without it, there would be literally no reason to own this.

Interesting premise (0 more)
Unoriginal second half. (0 more)
Starts of promising but doesn't live up to expectations.
Starts off very promising with a cool premise and some interesting plot twists but soon degenerates into very familiar territory - very closely following the plot of another very famous film with a similar premise. It even copies some of the iconic scenes from the original. I wouldn't bother unless you are seriously into sci-fi and don't mind unoriginal its.

Its an ok show. I grew up whatching the original series, TNG, Deep space 9, and the other Two series. Seen all the movies. (Step dad and husband big Star Trek fans) The show could be better if they allowed more characters development to the other characters. And it almost becoming predictable. Like what is Michelle Bernum going to on this episode? This is suppose to be Star Trek not the Michelle Bernnum show
