Mad Max in Space
A very decent Sci/Fi, thriller effort.....first time I can say that in a long time! A very good atmospheric film with plenty of action. Starts well the middle is patchy, but it picks up again towards the end. Good effects and set design, the overall feel of the film and the spaceship is quite creepy, good use of lighting etc. It's not the most original, it feels like a compilation of ideas from the best known Sci/Fi films. Overall a good effort that most should enjoy.

This book is to Fifty Shades as Spaceballs is to Star Wars and Scary Movie is to Scream. It is a witty, satirical look at the Fifty Shades trilogy with plenty of Twilight references thrown in for good measure. If you are among the readers that didn't take Fifty Shades too seriously to begin with, then you will love this book. A light, entertaining read with loads of fun 80's pop culture references that will keep you laughing from beginning to end.
Looking forward to reading the sequel, Fifty Shames in Space.

Venus Next adds Venus to the list of areas that can be terraformed, through either cards or a standard project. However, it is not required to in order to end the game. It sits as an optional board that takes up space. This is my least favourite of the expansion as it doesn't feel part of the game as closely as it should. It simply feels extra, another source of points. It adds floaters which can be a cool way of doing resources but as a expansion that improves the game? I disagree with that

Before there was Toretto, there was Riddick.
One for the old-dark-house/monsters-from-outer-space lovers :)
A passanger ship crash-lands on a supposedly colonised planet. The inhabitants are all mysteriously missing. Turns out there are other inhabitants on the planet, no one knew about.
Ship's passengers find themselves suddenly dependant on the nasty mass-murderer previously chained up in the hold.
Nothing earth-shatteringly original here, but it's good creepy entertainment delivered well.
And Riddicks eyes are waaaayyy cooler than anything F & F served up 😆

Monk is called on to find a needle in a stack of needles when the producer of a cult science fiction show is shot by a costumed fan. But can Monk deal with the fans who are more obsessed then he is? I laughed my way through this book and thought the plot was great. Unfortunately, I felt the characters became caricatures in this volume. Still lots of fun.

Firefly Meets Wizards
This book was advertised as Firefly with wizards, and that's pretty much what it is. There is almost a one-to-one correlation between the characters in the book and the characters in Firefly. That being said, I love Firefly and enjoyed the story very much. It's a fast-paced space opera. The story felt a little short to me, more like a TV episode verses a movie. The book was self-published and had some editing problems (specifically typos).

Find this one in Amazon. It's in German with English subtitles but was a pretty interesting sci-fi thriller. The acting was decent enough and the effects weren't too bad. The story unfolds a bit slow but it's interesting enough if you pay attention. It's definitely an interesting idea. Involves the concept of space travel to other passengers because of what we have done to earth and he technology is used by the "government" to fool us into believing there's a utopia like planet that we've habitated. Worth a watch if you're bored.

Varied cast
Comedy value
Action adventure twist.
Laugh out loud funny.
The trailer didnt really do this film justice. I loved this film, and was unexpectedly funnier than I anticipated. Especially the bullet extraction scene. Also the, one liners were brilliant.
I watched this film twice in a short space of time, something I don't do unless I really like it.
Have been recommending it to all of my friends as a comic, laid back, gaming film. Should appeal to boardgame and escape room nerds like me too.
