I'm not a Trekkie fan by any means but I have to say I'm suprised so many rate this so highly? I found it rather slow and boring and void of any real action whatsoever. The borg can just be walked past half the time, hardly an intimidating or a fearsome enemy. The latest Star Trek film going back to how the original crew got together is the best by far.

This book follows The Selection. In it, America and Maxon are in love until he does something that makes her mad. She then becomes whiny, and her annoying behavior pushes Maxon into the arms of someone else. America starts to question why Maxon doesn't treat her well anymore. It's clear Maxon and this other girl are in love and should be together. This book left me disliking America and Maxon.

Apes Together Strong
This was one of my most anticipated movies of this year and it was great. It wasn't as good as Dawn, but it still delivered a satisfying conclusion to a fantastic rebooted trilogy.
The performances are great, the CGI is mind-blowingly realistic and Matt Reeves direction is brilliant.
For my money, these 3 movies are the best reboots ever made.

I am still awaiting the refund of the 133 minutes of my life that I wasted on this God awful movie. If, when the next AVENGERS movie comes out, I find we truly could have skipped watching it all together and not missed anything larger plot wise, I'm really going to be pissed we didn't turn it off 45 minutes in and do something better with out evening.

Brilliant score.
Well written dialogue.
The Greater Good
Definitely my favourite movie of 2016. The cast are amazing, Pine and Foster are brilliant together and Jeff Bridges is incredible in his role as well. The score is fantastic, penned by the legendary Nick Cave and the whole thing is shot beautifully. I could praise this movie all day, but really everyone should see it for themselves.
  
Abbey Road by The Beatles

Abbey Road is one of the best Beatles albums ever produced
This is a classic record, with a slight moodier undertone than Revolver and a follow on from the White Album. "Come Together" and "I Want You" are some of the standout bluesy tracks, swinging their Stratocaster and Gibson guitars into a minor key. Not to mention "Here Comes The Sun" which changes the feel entirely. An absolute work of art.
