Utterly gripping, one of my favourite books this year. Set in a Swedish (I think!) hockey town. Everything revolves around ice hockey. Until a scandal rocks the very foundations of the town. It sets the truth against misplaced loyalties. Which is more important: the Team, or the truth?
I noticed that this was called Beartown in the US. I think I possibly prefer that as a title, however, I believe that The Scandal is closer to the original translated title.

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) shared own list

Dec 12, 2017
As Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in cinemas, it's the perfect time to revisit the previous films in George Lucas's epic series. The original Star Wars (1977) dazzled audiences on its first release, but opinions on the blockbuster film series have have changed over the years.

The Empire Strikes Back (1980) initially met with sniffy reviews from the critics, and is now generally considered one of the best films in the franchise. So where will @Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017) rank?

A Pretty Decent Netflix Original
This film is 'old hat' in terms of fighting a 'presence' that no one quite understands, but it does it in an interesting way and that's what kept me watching. There are no big names in this flick, however, the cast is still very good, making the characters both believable and interesting. Special effects were pretty good too. Would I watch again? Maybe.

Modern day Hemingway without the tangential narratives
Taking​ the title from the original Ernest Hemingway novel, Haruki Murakami has updated it for a modern audience in different parts of the world, primarily Japan.

It is a series of portraits of men who have chosen the path of loneliness away from women and the void that it creates when running away from intimacy. Beautiful, simplistic with a wonderful flow, Murakami has a spectacular way of building characters and their anecdotal narratives.

Quite funny
Something different from most Horror films
Cool original Horror film
A decent twist to the old creepy cabin in the woods genre. It led to an unusual feel to the film though, it wasn't like watching a slasher film as you know something else is going on behind the scenes. It has a fair bit of dark humour to it as well. The twist does make for a more interesting film, so at least it tried something different.

Timeless classic
Tried to mark it as 10 out of 10, but program wouldn't let me. At 50 years old, I still enjoy watching this movie almost as much as I did when I was a kid. I really hope no producer or movie studio tries to remake this movie with CG as they will ruin it!

Culture is 58 minutes of straight flow. Migos lose themselves in the music they’ve always loved to make. It’s triplets and trap, guns and coke, and some of the finest production Atlanta has to offer.

Huge areas to explore

Ground Breaking Classic
The game that probably helped sell the Dreamcast. This was unlike anything else at the time. Almost an open world game where you were free to explore, train your martial arts moves or just pop to the arcade for some retro Sega classics or darts! Along with some 3D scrolling beat em up sections. Something few games have tried since sadly. You will spend days worth of hours playing this!

Ok...so I am terrified of dolls and so this one and the other original one are like my worst nightmares. I hate dolls but I loved this movie. It was simply terrifying. It was a great addition to this series. I cant tell you how many times I got chills or jumped near out of my skin during this movie. All I can say is thank goodness I was at home because the theater people would have been mad at me lol...

The did not very hard to make anything original with this film at all.

The acting and production values of the film are descent, but it is an almost 100% retread of the first film. They could've at least tried to show us something new like maybe the origins of the critters and/or more about their lifestyles. Maybe something about their culture, social interactions or even mating habits! All we got was to see their toilet.

Disappointing.
