Movie Favorite Watch

"A gloriously ludicrous slice of 1980s cinematic fromage. Between the infectious Queen soundtrack, eye-popping Technicolor special effects, super hot Italian space princess, outrageous production and costume design, a deranged Max von Sydow spitting eminently quotable lines, and a leading man whose principle qualification was being a Playgirl centerfold, this movie had it all. I must’ve watched it fifty times when I was a kid. It was on a near-constant loop in our living room Betamax. One of the great many things I love about being a father is sharing my beloved childhood experiences with my kids. I was so giddily excited to watch this movie with my children when they were old enough. I couldn’t wait. They turned it off halfway through. I spent the next twenty minutes trying to convince them how awesome it was. They weren’t having it. My kids have terrible taste."

I struggle to read in the sun on my kindle fire (0 more)

I love my kindle - it's my second after I dropped and smashed my first one - I have a whole wall of books in my lounge and couldn't possibly fit another book on there so now I read on my kindle and no longer have to take over another wall for books. I like how you can download a sample of a book I'm unsure about. Some books are free, some can be borrowed then returned once read and the rest are cheaper than a standard book. I like how it tells me what % I am through the book and how much longer each chapter is so I can gauge wether I have time to get another chapter in quick! Couldn't be without it now!

Kim Pook (101 KP) rated There's Someone Inside Your House (2021) in Movies

Jun 2, 2022

Movie starts with a young teen coming home, the house is empty but the egg timer is ticking away, he calls out to see if anybody is home but there is no answer and he thinks nothing of it, finishes his phone conversation and goes to sleep. He is woken up in the middle of the night by the egg timer which is now in his room, this freaks him out and he calls the police, but is interrupted by random photos placed around the house of a secret he has been keeping and we soon have our first kill. A video of his secret is then sent to everyone and as this video also contains another jock, that jock is shunned at school and ends up sitting with a different group of teens, which is who the movie follows.
After the second kill, everyone becomes aware that the killer is going after those with a secret, meaning bad news for one of the teens.

This movie has many cliches used in teen Slashers, such as running anywhere but outside when trying to escape the killer, going to parties despite a killer being on the loose, the killer wearing a mask, people blaming each other and of course the killer having a plan to frame someone. Despite this (and the look a like masks which bared no resemblance to the victims) I did enjoy this movie. The acting wasn't spot on all the time but good enough for me. I also felt that the music wasn't right for the movie as it had more of a strangers things vibe than horror.

Different victory conditions in every game mean it stays fresh every time (2 more)

Great artwork and style

Clever buy/sell mechanics

You need a LOT of space (0 more)

Clever and highly replayable

Isle of Skye has you playing as a Clan Chief trying to create the best kingdom for your people. Points are scored through a number of means, but the victory conditions can be randomised every time which leads to a really replayable game.

Your clan territory is grown by buying new tiles with different land types (grass/fields, mountains, or lakes) and bonuses, and in each round it is the players themselves who set the prices for these tiles. Sometimes you might find you've horribly over or under-valued a tile by not accounting for another player's plans, and sometimes you can pick up an absolute bargain!

The game is fast paced and relatively easy to learn, but be warned with up to 5 players all trying to build up big clan territories in front of them you need a lot of room to play this properly...
