Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated AC/DC: Album by Album in Books
Apr 10, 2018
A comprehensive guide to AC/DC, the author Martin Popoff has succeeded in producing yet another work that is both engaging to the occasional listener of the group as well as the more hardened fan. Accompanied with images from throughout the group's long history, there is plenty to look at and read as well as having on your shelf or coffee table to reference during those late night "discussions" with friends over a drink or three. Recommended for the fan.

The weakest of the three, but still great!
While I absolutely loved the first two films, this one disappointed me a bit, but I still liked it a lot. Can't really put my finger on why though. Maybe it was the weak villain or the weaker story. The movie is still fun, funny & visually spectacular. Much better than the choppy Spider-Verse animation. It seems like this may be the last in the series, so I'm kinda bummed about that.

Good plotline (1 more)
CGI is amazing.
Woman power
While watching this movie, I was smiling and laughing at the humour throughout it. It promoted women as not the weak party among superheroes.
At the time I thought it might have been slightly rushed to finish and give it the ending the audience wanted but I can't complain because I've seen it three times in the cinema on the week it was showing.
I highly recommend this movie.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2568 KP) rated Unlucky 13 (Women’s Murder Club, #13) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
With Lindsay tracking a stomach bomber, Cindy follows up on a lead to a killer that got away. Meanwhile, Yuki is getting married.
This series is wildly uneven, but this is one of the better ones. Three plots make things a bit rushed at the end, and Claire becomes sidelined for much of the book, but it had me turning pages.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Airport (1970) in Movies
Mar 17, 2018
The first of the Airport disaster films. I remember seeing most of them on Sunday afternoons on TV as a young kid. Big budget blockbusters for the time with an all star cast! I think there were three sequels in the end Airport '75, '77 and '79 concorde! Check them out, still pretty good films and few disaster films about planes have been made since to this standard.
Not too mention it inspired two of the funniest spoof films (Airplane) as well!

Far from Perfect
One thing is for sure, I loved the topics of the story but I also think the author was trying to master too many things in one book. I loved that it talked about teen pregnancy, adoptions, and sexuality for young adults. Each of the characters had a lot of difficulties but they showed what its like to be a real family.

Intense
Shockingly good
I watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri after watching it receive a couple of awards. I was not disappointed.
This movie covers some hard topics - the pain a family goes through after the rape and murder of the daughter, the fact that the crime is unsolved, small-town interpersonal relationships, cancer, suicide, but still has the perfect script to make it a dark comedy. The actors all did fantastic jobs. I highly recommend this movie.

Stupid hilarious fun.
PLAY ONLINE! This is one of the most fun games I have ever played online with friends. The heists and other missions you can attempt with friends are so much fun or you can just drive around in your car with friends bombing the hell out of everyone around.
The single player is also really fun with the three character dynamic making it so there is always something to do/someone to kill.

Lee Ann (116 KP) rated Roku Ultra in Tech

Great for streaming
I won this in a Smashbomb giveaway and wanted to give it a few weeks use before reviewing.
We have a couple of chromecast's, a couple of Amazon FireSticks and now the Roku. I've got to say out of the three I think Roku takes the win. The connection for streaming seems on par with the Chromecast and better than the Firestick's... and it adds the functionality of apps which the chromecast doesn't.
Great piece of kit.

Just watched again on blu ray from arrow one of Dario Argentos later gailos not perfect but still good some good acting performances from both jennifer connelly and donald pleasance. There's plenty of gore on hand and some good kills excellent music score to. My Blu ray has all three versions including the us cut creeps and a 2 hour doc on the making of the film not a bad package thumbs up
