One of my favourite films of all time
I haven't watched this film for a long time but I absolutely love it. A crew of desperate complete idiots decide to commit what they think is a genius heist, and the whole thing is just so wonderfully touching and funny as they blunder their way through their crime. Each of the main characters is so well realised and work together so well, it really is a joy to watch.

Mads mikkelsen
After watching the sequel Sunday night thought I would go back and watch the first one again I liked the first time benedict cumberbatch plays the title character very well with support from an excellent cast. The visual effects are so good and there's mads mikkelsen who is forever type casted as the villain but plays it so well anyway good first but the sequel is now my favourite doctor strange movie

Ross (3284 KP) rated Caffe Nero in Apps
Nov 3, 2017
I have been using the Nero app for a few months now, mainly to collect stamps towards free coffees (just like the paper ones, you scan your app at the checkout). I have recently linked a debit card as well so can now pay for drinks as well as getting a stamp and this works really well.
Also for the Christmas period, every time you pay for a drink with the app you get a Christmas cracker to open with the chance of winning extra stamps, free drinks etc.

A weird, but fantastic read!
Easily the weirdest book I've ever read (and I've read quite a few). A great book to read for those who want to know what it's like in the mind of someone who suffers from schizophrenia. Well written (so much so that even I as the reader had a hard time distinguishing between reality and fantasy). I would love to know what happened prior to the book (an unmentioned event seems relevant to the story). I will say that, despite having read this book, I'm still not entirely sure what happened (that may have been the point though). All in all, well done, Mr. Smith.
School Shooting examined
There are a lot of school shooting YA books. Out of all of the ones I've read this one is handle the best.
Valerie is caught up and under suspicion of aiding in the shooting for writing in a book when she was stressed or been bullied. Valerie never wanted anyone to die and saved lives when the shooting happens but it doesn't help that the press don't care about that. This book is well written and deals with a hard subject matter to grasp. Unfortunately we live in a world where these events keep happening more and more frequently. This book explores why and people emotions of it and it written so well.

Thoroughly Enjoyable
Well I’m so glad I watched this, I love the Haunted House and Ghost Train rides at fairgrounds so this was right up my street.
I didn’t think the film was scary as such, but there were certainly some very creepy moments, and I felt the vivid lighting also gave the film a distinctive edge.
Well acted, well put together and thoroughly refreshing for the horror genre, this makes an excellent night’s viewing if you just want a fright without too much baggage.
The most enjoyable horror I’ve seen since the Final Destination movies. Scored 9 out of 10 as I felt the ending was disappointing, I feel a twist of some kind would have made it a perfect 10.

Entertaining
Well, this movie was better than expected. A good ghost story for a dark night. The acting and cinematography were very well done. The story didn't take long getting to the "meat" of the plot. It unfolded well and kept me anticipating the next scene. I didn't expect the ending to be so... "simple" but it didn't take away from the entertainment value. This one also isn't too gory or anything for the younger movie watchers(though maybe not the REALLY young ones) in the family. Good for a family "scary movie night". If you do those sort of movie nights. Speaking of kids, the child actors in this movie did a fantastic job. This one is really worth a watch!

Now for Something Really Old: Troyes
I love this game. Let’s get that out of the way. I know a lot of people are claiming JASE (Just Another Soul-less Euro) with this one, and it certainly does not have that wonderful thematic feeling that some are looking for in their games. But, for me, it provides scads of really interesting decisions and strategies, while including dice (which I love when done well) and a variability that really amps up the replayability. I adore the art, on the cards as well as the board, and it scales well for player number.
