"I spent a winter in Montreal when I was in my early twenties. One of the few things I remember from that time is watching this thing for the first time. It broke my brain. It’s not a movie, it’s goddam life on-screen. This one leaves scars"

Winter is almost upon us, meaning it's now definitely time to begin celebrating the finest movies that have so far made their way to the multiplex and the art house.

Filmmakers are continuing to find new ways —both big and small—to entertain, excite and enlighten. Some of these are highlighted below:

After nine months, moviegoers have been gifted with a bounty of great blockbusters, indies, and documentaries. Here are just a few:

Wth a new less campy outfit and an ever growing addiction to kick someone's ass,

With awesome cameos, plenty of action and a twist you didn't see coming (unless you read the comics) Captain America: the winter soldier is a must see for all comic book nerds and geeks alike and to anyone in seek of a great action movie

Great Idea, Bad Execution
Impact Winter has all the things I love in a good survival management game, but feels more like a product in testing rather than a complete game. There are so many glitches from not being able to leave out of tents set up in the perma-winter environment to an end game bug that prevents getting a rating for that play through. Super frustrating. There's also an issue of having too much inventory that causes a 10-second delay between choosing an item and placing it. A major time waster. With all the bad, it is a pretty fun game. There's lots to explore and new things to find in each go.

I loved the art in this volume. I was glad that after the Warzones period, Black Widow was given her own series again (briefly). There's again the theme of Natasha's secrets, which stems, i believe, from MCU's Captain America: Winter Soldier. Again, this was a good idea to attempt to get people interested in the comics.
  
Third entry in the Weis/Hickman Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy, which sets the world of Krynn up for new adventures with a new Status Quo, and which finishes the story first began in Dragons of Autumn Twilight.

However, I found this to be lacking the intimacy of that first novel, or even the tragic pathos of Sturm from the second Dragons of Winter Night; too concerned with Tanis's internal struggles and skipping over a large part of just what happened to Raistlin and how he suddenly becomes so powerful (told in other spin-offs, perhaps?).

Also, and as with Dragons of Winter Night, not all characters survive the story, with one character in particular provided with a fitting farewell.

In short, and as a whole: these books are OK, but nothing remarkable.

Road to Winter ( Fae’s Captive book 2)
By Lily Archer

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

The fae king is growing on me. Every touch, look, and night spent in his arms is slowly melting my resistance. When his feral side takes over, something inside me wants to let go and give him everything. With each passing day, the pull is getting harder to deny. But the road to the winter realm is full of danger, and I need to concentrate on finding my way home, not on the promises of pleasure Leander whispers in my ear at night. Even so, how long can I resist the intoxicating kiss of winter?


These books are so bloody frustrating! I’d love to give it 4 or even 5 stars but as soon as you get into the story the book ends! Also ends on a little cliffhanger and yes I could go straight to the next book but I have a huge tbr pile to get through and have ocd about reading in a certain order. I’ll say what I said in the book 1 review it shows so much promise! They also read as novellas rather than a full book.

Savage Monarchs ( Nocturnal Academy 4)
By Margo Ryerkerk and Holli Hook
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Escaping the academy was just the beginning.

I've made it out of Nocturnal Academy.

No longer do I exist to please the vamps. Now, as a member of the Winter Court, my job is to execute them. But maybe my new standing is no better than being a courtesan. Now I am to become an assassin for the King of the Winter Court. The rules of the game might've changed, but I'm still a pawn.

If the King of the Winter Court thinks that I'm going to turn into a mindless soldier after everything I've been through, he's in for a rude awakening. I'm going to do this on my terms while keeping a wall around my heart at all times.
I will not be vulnerable again.

Life, however, has other ideas. Like throwing in a friend from my past and worse, Thorsten, a handsome jerk of a vampire who has messed with my mind and feelings one too many times.

I might've left Nocturnal Academy, but I'm far from safe.

Best one yet I think. Onyx finally has some answers and revenge on her mind. Looking forward to what she does now.

Fun to pass time
Iv played this game off and on since it was released usually dont play in the bitter cold winter. It's fun when it's nice out to search for new pokemon to add to my collection. But I'm bored at the moment havnt played lately.
  
Lee's step-son comes for a visit during a winter festival. When he finds himself accused of a string of robberies that end in murder, Lee has to step in to clear him. Another delicious romp with a resort town full of murder.
