Foul Language
Was this even in the theatre??
Not a bad action movie with lots of killing but I wish there had been some plot development with the fantasy characters. There was so much potential for a great story with elves and ogres and magic all coexisting with humans. But instead I feel like this movie was just a compilation of all the action scenes from a good movie and they used the thinnest plot line to string them together.

Decent teen slasher movie
For a teen slasher movie this was good. I like the opening that gets your heart pumping a little but, we see a slow down at times. The story is creative and fun. Some of the ideas were taken from other movies but, according to a certain character he lays out all the premises on how they happen and they kind of do. Did this movie need 4 sequels no but one to tie everything together yes.

Iconic album
Featuring the huge hit Insane in the brain. My favourite track is actually Lick a shot. The mix of fast beats, deep bass and aggressive vocals with lyrics you can clearly make out make this one of the best rap albums around. The similar themes of the tracks also mean they blend together perfectly from one track to the next. If you like Rap with deep bass you have to get this album. It's a classic.

Concise insight into the greatest philosophers
This book is a gem for providing information about some of the most renowned philosophers of our time. It is easy to understand as well as follow and the linear approach of connecting all the philosophers together makes it comprehensible where each thought came from. A good start for those who are unaware of many of the works.

[The Rift] by [Walter J. Williams] is exactly the type of book I love to read. I enjoy dystopian that could actually happen such as the Yellowstone Volcano or, in this case, the New Madrid Fault. [Williams] does a great job describing the events that could happen if this fault slipped. Also he does a nice job creating characters both likable and ones you keep hoping will die. The way he brings all the different story lines together is predictable but works. I recommend this book.

Beautifully written, elegant and poignant
Unwaveringly brilliant pulling on each and every heart string. This poignant, rich portrayal of Paris life is completely immersive with moments of pure beauty. Written in the perspective of tenants living in a Parisian apartment, it encompasses modern tribulations with contemporary social politics including terror attacks and the rise of discrimination not to mention the human stories that hold it together. Fran Cooper is a genuinely fantastic writer and I look forward to reading more of her work in the future.

Incredible series, extremely well produced
While it is apparent there are documents left out of this series, it has been masterfully put together by the documentary's director. A true crime series following convicted criminal Steven Avery and possible misconduct and corruption claims against the federal government, it is absolutely gripping from start to finish. Definitely recommended.

Lumos (380 KP) created a post in What did you play?

Apr 23, 2018  
This weekend I got together with coworkers and played Telestrations and Joking Hazard. We were laughing the entire night. There was much alcohol consumed and, for that reason, the games both skewed in the realm of inappropriate. So, while I did take some pictures, they are a lot on the NSFW side so I can't post them here.

Telestrations definitely doesn't need to go that way and could be played with family, Joking Hazard... not so much. Both are fun games though, for sure!

A good super hero movie, but not too gripping
I love DC, which unfortunately makes this movie a difficult one to watch. It was a nice movie, but did not give the character any real justice. The story is not well formed, and sort of seem like it was just thrown together. Overall it is a fun movie to watch, but probably best to have it as a movie in the background to enjoy it.

The kiss of a princess can be a powerful tool against the forces of evil. A magic that I have never read about is weaved into this book and I could not be more impressed.
Think romance of enemies to lovers but more subtle than that. A princess who will do anything to win and a prince who doesn't want her help. Together they will argue their way to victory. You will laugh, roll your eyes, and ultimately fall for these two unlikely allies.
