Different Tale: Mother Knows Best
Tangled- is a great and fantasic movie with good songs like.."When Will My Life Begin", "Mother Knows Best", "I've Got A Dream", "I See The Lignt", and "Healing Incantation".
The plot: Disney animation of a classic tale. Beautiful princess Rapunzel has been locked away in a tower since she was captured as a baby by an old hag. Her magical long blonde hair has the power to provide eternal youth, and the evil Gothel uses this power to keep her young. At the age of 18, Rapunzel becomes curious about the outside world, and when a prince uses her tower as a refuge, she asks him to help her escape.
It has action, adventure, lots of comedy, darkness, so basically a normal disney animated movie.

Maas takes the time to put into her stories because everything becomes 1000x more realistic and emotional. The story does take a bit to get moving, though, and I wasn’t totally into it until about 1/4 of the way through. So hang in there

This is an absolutely fantastic game. The idea is that you roll a die and remove a stick from the pile. Easy right?
A bit like a cross between pickup sticks and jenga but without having to pile the sticks back on the tower.
It can be played with 2 or more players and is always a hit on our house.

1190 sequel to the original Gremlins movie, relocating the action to New York and (largely) to the inside of a tech moguls hi-tech tower (think Trump Towers), with - of course - the Mogwai Gizmo getting wet and spawning more of the mischievous Gremlins, who basically run amok in what amounts to a live-action (well, puppeteer action) comedy horror Looney Tunes film!

An enjoyable film, if you have not read the books
If you think of the film on its own, seperate from the books, it's ok. It was enjoyable enough, Idris Elba was a good Roland and the kid that played Jake a good actor. They had a good chemistry on screen. The story was easy to follow, it was an ok adventure film. Worth a watch, glad I didn't go to the cinema to see. If you haven't read Stephen King's Dark Tower series, you will enjoy the film and follow the story nicely. They have managed to fit a shelled down version of the Dark Tower story into this one film.
However, if you have read the books; you are going to be dissapointed. Whilst Idris Elba as Roland is a really good choice, that's the only thing that is good. Roland and Jake meet in a completely different way, Jake's history is completely different, so right from the start you know it's not going to be the story from the books. You will notice the absence of Eddie and Suzanne as well. Of course, I didn't really expect it to follow the books, they have fitted an epic 8 book series into one film. It's dissapointing, the Dark Tower was worthy of an epic, at minimum, trilogy of films.
All in all, this film gives you a little taste of the Dark Tower world, its gunslinger and mid-world's ways. If you watch the film before reading the books, whether you like the film or not, I really recommend reading the books. If you have read the books, you may want to skip the film.

Feb 20, 2018
Much better than I had expected. A big budget, action packed, fun new vision of Sherlock Holmes. A good well picked cast, great visuals, quite a lot of cgi and plenty of humour. Nice to see Guy Ritchie do more than just East London Gangster films! Also features the quickest journey from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge ever, artistic licence for you!! Sequel out next year!

Contains spoilers, click to show
I couldn't get into this book at all... Having read the ToG series up until Tower of Dawn i thought I would read this while I waited for Kingdom of Ash to be released. I just found it a bit boring and slow and did not like Celena in this book at all! Such a disappointment since I loved all the other books in the series and even her other series!
