Board Game Review: Targi – A Two Player Treat
Targi is a solid title, and one replete with real and meaningful decisions. I love that a simple ruleset, with few exceptions to be remembered, can nevertheless create challenging and relatively deep play. As a two-player only game, this is definitely worth checking out and certainly should be attractive to couples.
Original Score: 4/5

Full review here:
When it's on form, Deadpool 2 is stronger than the original and some of its laughs are considerably funnier. But it feels a tad too muddled in places. It's as if the film has so much it wants to do that it loses some focus and doesn't quite end up being as satisfying as the debut. Still a great time though and this does have perhaps the greatest mid-credits sequence ever seen in a movie.

Better than the original
I love backstories, and this one didn’t disappoint! This was an excellent prequel that explored the heartbreak that shaped the aunts from Practical Magic. It was an excellent stand-alone novel, even if you haven’t read Practical Magic. I felt like the ending was a little rushed, and I couldn’t figure out the timeline. Regina was born in 1961, but her daughters were adults in the 1990s (assuming Practical Magic takes place when it was written).

Goofy is the best word to describe this movie. It wasn't terrible, but I found it a little too comical to be taken seriously. I'm not sure what the intention was with the film, Jason Statham seemed to have fun with his goofy role. The film was completely predictable, and there wasn't one thing that was original or new.
The ending was especially comical for me, Statham VS Meg, in the water was so out of the realm of realism. But, it was amusing.

Better than expected
Found this little gem on Netflix(original). The acting, cinematography and effects are decent. The story played out well. A little bit of a slow starter but kept the interest throughout. No big names that I knew, but the characters were well played. Takes place in the eighties in Scotland and it feels like you're watching a movie made in the eighties. If you're into creepy, supernatural horror flicks this one will please you. Not "The Conjuring" good but still worth a watch.

Just pick this manga up for the artwork as it is stunning! Absolutely beautiful ❤
I must admit I haven't read the original novel but after reading this I would like to give it a go.
The only negatives I found in this book is that it felt a bit rushed like too much was packed into one volume so things got a bit confusing at times. Maybe reading the novel will clear things up.

I am a huge fan of the original Jumanji movie and was sure I was going to hate this new version. I was wrong. Rather than remaking the '95 version, the writers chose to update it. Very smart. Yes, a lot of it is silly but that adds to the movie's charm. All the actors did a good job of getting into character but in my opinion, Jack Black does the best job of disappearing into his role. That's just something you'll have to see for yourself!

Way too serious!
If you liked the original George Lucas classic, you may not like its very serious sequel.
Instead of cruising having a good time with your friends before you are off to college, the main characters deal with issues like the Vietnam war, protests and the peace movement.
The music is still great and there is a very funny cameo scene; however, it is not enough to save this film which just gets the tone completely wrong.
