Watched yesterday at my local Cineworld still a classic 80s movie probably the first time I've seen it on the big screen and it still looks good for a movie that's 35 years old everything about the movie is great but for the real star of the movie has to be the car to turn a delorean into a time machine it just works the soundtrack fantastic watch out for a cameo from huely Lewis from the news. Overall still a good movie

The first - and, in my opinion, best - film in The Terminator series, where Arnie first portrays what would become his signature role: the story goes that he was originally approached for the role of Kyle Reese before reading the script and opting instead to play The Terminator, the unstoppable cyborg killing machine of the title, with 80s action hero (and James Cameron stalwart) instead taking on the role of Reese.

Of note is how every action Arnie carries out is with an economy of movement (just like a machine), and just how unstoppable The Terminator is in this movie (notably diminished in future instalments), with the plot essentially one long chase scene setting up a temporal time loop, especially evident in the DVD deleted scenes: that warehouse for the final showdown? Belongs to Cyberdene systems.

When I first started reading this book, what I did not expect was it to be a murder-mystery!
Four women have invented a time machine and this book explores how time travel effects the women and their different personalities. There is a running theme of death within the story - and let's be honest, that's what everyone would be asking themselves about their own future. I really like the thoughtfulness of the language, the slang that time travellers would use, for example "green self" is used to describe yourself from a time period before where you are and "silver self" the opposite. I really enjoyed reading this and found the jumping through time quite easy, I even forgot to read the date on some chapters and still managed to figure out where in the timeline the chapter stood pretty quickly without getting confused. The writing is clear and easy to read. I found the murder-mystery especially interesting! And how motives jump through time as well as the detective who has to solve it without altering the timeline. Highly recommend.

Intense sci-fi
This Netflix original is a good one. Once again Netflix comes through with an excellent story. Time travel is always a tough one to make work but they did in this intense action thriller. The characters were played well and the film work was extremely good. It takes place in one house/lab where a machine designed to generate limitless energy somehow loops time. The protagonists have to keep figuring out what to do in each loop to survive. The story unfolds beautifully and is full of twists and turns. Some violence but nothing gory- pretty family friendly. REALLY worth a watch!
