Irene M (130 KP) rated Game of Scones: All Men Must Dine in Books

Dec 7, 2018

THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT!!!

All baking recipes are themed on Game of Thrones with an artistic or puntastic edge to them.

From Hot Pie’s Wolfbread (a basic wholemeal bread, shaped into a wolf like he did on the show) and Sansa’s Lemon Cakes to a Red (velvet) Wedding Cake (3 tier cake with ‘blood’ pouring down the side) and the one I really REALLY wanna try myself Oberyn’s Smashing Surprise (long story short a decorated chocolate shell filled with red jelly so you can re-enact the scene and squish it open with your fingers, just like The Mountain did to Oberyn’s skull, mwahahahahaaa).

Oh yes, I shall be making a few of these recipes.

David McK (3610 KP) rated The Philip K. Dick Megapack (R): 15 Classic Science Fiction Stories in Books

Jan 30, 2019

While the name may not be all that well-known, Philip K Dick was (IMO) actually one of the most influential of 20th century sci-fi authors, responsible for the stories that led to movies the likes of 'Total Recall', 'Blade Runner', 'Minority Report', 'The Adjustment Bureau' and 'Screamers'.

In fact, the idea for that last one ('Screamers') itself is one of the short stories in this anthology in 'Second Variety': I think it's about #6 in the anthology.

If you read that story, and if you've seen the film, you'll definitely make the connection!

Of the rest of the stories, some are better than others, but all are entertaining and even (occasionally) thought provoking.

Smith v Smith

The script for this movie has been languishing in development hell for nearly 20 years I believe and having finally made it to the big screen it's nothing short of a disappointment.

First the de-aging process applied to Will Smith's to create his younger self is poor to say the least,it looks like someone is wearing a cut out plastic mask of smith.The story itself feels rushed and the script is horrible and the flaws are easily noticed.The action scenes are predictable,though the sequence on the motorbikes was fairly good.

Add to that a pretty mediocre and predictable ending and this is a really disappointing film.

Ok scary tales film

I missed this at the cinema and caught on Amazon prime last night. I thought it was going to be an anthology of scary stories. It's more of a few mini tales set within the main plot of the whole film. I enjoyed it and at times it felt a bit like @Creepshow (1982) or @Trick 'r Treat (2007) The overall feel of the film was similar to a Stephen King short story. Only downside it isn't that scary, maybe why it got a PG-13 rating in the US. If you like ghost stories check it out but it won't give you sleepless nights.
