Rolling Stone's 437th greatest album of all time
A decent hip hop album. Some cringey lyrics about lollipops and so on, but overall pretty good beats and music as well as the rapping itself. "How the Beat Builds" was a particular highlight.

Rolling Stone's 422nd greatest album of all time (494th in the 2020 list)
A nice album of typical Motown songs. A few well-known classics, sadly I had just listened to a double-album of the Supremes and this paled in comparison.

I really enjoyed it, great cast and production, I've seen several versions of Bonnie & Clyde movies etc, but this one had me glued and shocked by the scene with the couples final moments and original footage. Well worth catching on Netflix.

The story starts with Seth, the main character dying, then waking up naked and alone in the street he lived when he was a child. I don't want to say too much more about the plot as I don't want to give anything away!
The story is full of good ideas and tackles issues which will resonate well with teens. The characters are written well. The book also uses dream sequences to fill us in on the back story. I've certainly not read anything else quite like this - a unique idea, basically addressing what happens when we die (but with a twist!)

The characters were captured in a realistic image. Not something you would see in some child's book, we're talking full-on adult image. It was very easy to imagine these fairytales creature walking in everyday life. (2 more)
Will Smith was a great actor to hold this roll. It wasn't so much his past stardom that pushed him forward, but his well known abilities to make different faces that conincide with certain scenes.
Well worth watching a second time to catch anything you miss the first.
There are some parts that really don't make sense, but could have been added just for extra fodder. (0 more)
  
Full gushing review can be found at www.travelingthevortex.com

So far the Lethbridge-Stewart series has come in two varieties; good, and stellar. This is one of the later.

The plot is well written with a series of adventures that culminate quite satisfactorily, character development is top drawer, the action is well done, and above all else, it's a hell of a lot of fun to read. This book trucks from beginning to end without a lull in sight. If you've been following along with the Lethbridge-Stewart line, nudge this one higher on your to do list, you'll thank me for it.

Comedian's nervous breakdown is like watching a train wreck
An intriguing look into bereavement and trauma in the guise of an unravelling comic. Set on a stage, the comedian performs an intimate act in the presence of a former student and colleague. It is a gritty, disturbing and excruciating read to see how he undoes himself in the space of one night. It is also revealing how little sympathy and empathy he receives. It is a well structured piece of literary fiction, moving back and forth through past and present narratives. Well deserved of a Man Booker Prize nomination.
