Good Treasure Hunt Film
Never played the games so can't compare them. The film is a bright and breezy action, treasure hunt film. Similar to @National Treasure (2004) solving some basic puzzles and clues as they trot around the globe in their quest. You sometimes feel you're watching Spider-Man again at times with Holland's acrobatic stunts. It's funny in places and an enjoyable watch if nothing outstanding.

Gets me where I need to go
This is the primary app I use to get me places. I sometimes travel for work so having this app has been a lifesaver. If there's a wreck or traffic issue coming up on my route, it automatically recalculates and gives me directions to go around it. All I need is the address of my destination and it will take me right to where I need to go. Let's not forget to mention the voice is very soothing when she's giving directions out loud. This is very handy when I'm in Georgia which is a hands off device hands free state. The only issue I have with it sometimes is when the road in trying to go on is closed or it tells me to do a u turn where there are signs visible that says to not do a u turn. But if I just keep driving or go a different way, it will automatically recalculate the route for me and gets me back the way I need to go. It does creep me out when I have GPS location services on and my phone asks me to rate and review what ever place I was at or drove by. But that can be stopped by turning off the location services GPS feature. This replaced the MapQuest website and it is also a good companion to fill the quiet when you are on road trips by yourself.

Sometimes incosistent difficulty level
Battle Chasers is a great game and great RPG. I love the rich characters and their background. The art style makes this whole experience beautiful. The story,I have not completed it yet, has captured me and I can’t wait to see where it goes

Enthralling
Emotional
Heartbreaking but breathtaking
This book broke me. sometimes you read a book and sit there going that's a great story sometime you read a book and go that a great character. Once in a while you come across a story that supersedes that. This book may appeal to people for political reasons but it should appeal to everybody not on a political level but on a human one. This book is stunning in a heartbreaking way.

The Marinated Meeple (1853 KP) rated Peaky Blinders - Season 1 in TV

Great Gangster TV
I really enjoyed this series, and liked following the characters. I love the idea of razorblades in the hats as not only a signature but as a threatening omnipresent thing. Turning something benign into something sinister. The show has some odd pacing, where it seems to come in spurts, but that also seems to up the tension and you don't know when to expect things sometimes. Great TV, worthy of binge watching

Plot holes
This book follows the story of survivors of what appears to be a major terrorist attack. It's suspenseful but sometimes feels forced. It's not something I think i will ever pick up again but it's an enjoyable enough read for someone who is a fan of Stephen King. There are many elements to the story that make it clear that this book fits well within the standard "King" writing style.

Good selection of series and films. (2 more)
Good for original shows.
Good for keeping up to date on the latest releases.
Doesn't always have the full film series which can make it hard to watch some things. (2 more)
Doesn't have enough of an anime section for me, needs to add more.
A series doesn't always have a trailer which means you sometimes have to watch it to find out you don't like it and feel like it's a waste of time.
