Such an odd blend of characters and plots but screw it it worked.
Like it it says on the tin Thor: Ragnarok was such an odd movie that I really don't know how it worked out so well it was kind of all over the place but honestly I think that's what just made it stand out so well.
For me I think this was probably the funniest Marvel movie to date I loved all the characters and I loved all the actors that were playing the characters they all just got together so well and made the movie that much more enjoyable.

Another win for The Fast and the Furious movie empire
I've seen all the previous Fast and the Furious movies so I figured I'd check this one out as well. If you enjoy the originals you'll like this is well. It keeps to comedy origins as well as fast cars explosions and action-packed scenes. They seem to have come up with a recipe that succeeds with each movie they make in the series.
  
well what can I say, wow, this is such a fantastic read. even though this is the third book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone. the characters were really well written and the story around them worked really well. this author has a fab way of writing, giving you just the right amounts of different elements so that you end up with a fantastic read. this is one of them books that you love every page you read and are left wanting more when your finished. I cant wait to read more from this author.

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

A perfect supplementary tool for every crocheter. As a newer crocheter and visual learner, I appreciated the accompanying images and loved that they added in issues the user may run in to as well. Overall, I felt this was a well-rounded book. It doesnÂ’t just show you stitches and how to create them. It also discusses the different yarn types as well, which is influential to any project. As someone who is a visual learner, this is a perfect accessory. I recommend it to anyone interested in crochet.

A decent survival drama/thriller as a group of men try to survive a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness with a pack of Wolves on their trail. Neeson seems to be the flavour of the year at present and does another good job here. The only problem is the story is a little bleak and tries to carry a message about death and the afterlife as well. Which starts fairly subtle before cropping up quite regularly towards the end. It has a very short scene after the credits as well. Reminded me of The Edge as well.

The animation
Great humour and set pieces
Depp-Tastic
In a nut shell, Depp voices a Lizard who calls himself Rango, when fate strands him in the middle of nowhere.

Before long he uses his anonymity to his advantage, to ingratiate himself with the residents of a troubled town...

Depp is fantastic in this role, which is clearly written for him.

There are plenty of jokes and well crafted action scenes as well as a superbly realized villain.

If you enjoy well written animations, then this is for you.
It appeals to all ages and is heaps of fun.

Good, but not exactly original.
A well made but dull addition to the Tomb Raider franchise.

The game itself is well made, but it has lost the charm of the original games. The game, like the first in the prequel trilogy, boasts its "free-roam" option, which doesn't really add much to the game or the story.

There's also very little in the way of tomb raiding, with tombs being fun challenges reminiscent of the original puzzles, but feeling like little more than an afterthought as something they should probably put in.

Emotional Roller Coaster
As I write this review I'm riding an overwhelming wave of emotions as I honestly was unprepared for not only the ending but the entire read. The progression of Beau's psychopathic tendencies was completely mind-boggling and showed just how well he was able to hide his true self from others. You could practically taste the fear of the ones he hurt. The characters were strong, well developed and worked well as a whole and the storyline kept me hooked from beginning to end. This tale will stay with me for a long time.

For 99% of its run time, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a solid 7/10 for me. Having Ewan McGregor back as the titular Jedi is like seeing an old friend after a few years. It drip feeds us Vader content before delivering arguably the best lightsaber duel of the entire franchise. It has several well fleshed out emotional moments, and moves at a decent pace.

And then...then... the audacious bastards had the absolute stones to end the series with a "hello there" and that my friends, moved it to an easy 8/10. Well played Star Wars, well played.
