Science fiction classic

It's actually not a bad film at first I thought the main cast looked a bit weak for such a big project but they do a pretty good job .the story evolves around an alien race wiped out but a few seeking 2 objects which let them recreate there world ,along the way there a love story lots of action and so many interesting species and ideas ...now the film is very much like all your classic science fish coming together think starwars meets avatar with a bit of startre thrown in ,well worth a watch

Reworking of the classic movie of the same name
Excellent reworking of the film of the same name all the leads are excellent and comedy legends. The scripting is on par with the film and episode seven is directed by the director of the film and manages to get some excellent guest stars in the episode that is a nice touch.
At round-a-bout twenty five minutes an episode it doesn't out stay its welcome. It's another comedy classic and I hope it gets renewed for another season.

Perhaps the most famous of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mysteries, in which the super-sleuth investigates the supposed Baskerville family curse of the hell-hound on the moors.
What else can I say? Originally serialised by Arthur Conan Doyle, there's been many attempts to adopt this for TV, film or stage over the years, right through from the classic Basil Rathbone 1939 classic (and which many - myself included - still envisage Holmes as) to the more modern BBC Benedict Cumberbatch TV series, one of which has an episode largely based on this story.
Mysterious deaths, ghostly hell-hounds, escaped convicts and the marshy moors all play a part in this ...

An absolute classic
This was our go to family dinner game alongside @Cluedo Super Sleuth, @Trivial Pursuit: Master Edition, @Scrabble and @UNO Rummy-Up (though technically that's a card game). And by the end of the night, cold shoulders, passive aggressiveness, and gloating was also very common hence we had to ban them.
But it's an absolute classic, and as a cautious spender, I tended to lose miserably and most of the London places have now been gentrified so the brown areas no longer exist, hence I've no places to buy anymore. Alas many pleasant memories.

Unusual take on a classic story
This story follows the ups and downs of Peter Pan before the conventional stories with Wendy that we all know from Disney. Christina Henry has a knack of showing the darker side of what is a classic story. Even though it focuses on the life of children I feel like it still has a very adult feel.
I first found this amazing author when reading her book 'Alice' and have since read all of her books.
If you want to read a fantasy novel that is unusual then this is the book for you.

It isn’t Christmas without Elf
The majority of classic Christmas films tend to be fairly old school, but Elf is by far the best more modern Christmas film - despite now being 15 years old.
It’a absolutely hilarious, and so lovely and heart warming too. The plot is fun and entertaining, and there are some great performances from Will Ferrell and James Caan, there are some really brilliant quotes and lines in this. It’s showing it’s age a little bit now and some of the effects are a bit dodgy, but it’s still a classic festive film. It really isn’t Christmas until you watch Elf.

Classic Childs tale
Contains spoilers, click to show
Lyra is a orphan growing up with a group of boring scholars. She has an incredible imagination and would drop anything to do in an adventure with her best pal Roger.
However Roger is kidnapped and taken north by the gobblers. Lyra, being the strong independent young woman she is, is determined to get him back.
This classic story has everything to get your imagination going. There are kidnappings, witches, daemons, armoured bears, hot air balloon trips and a machine that can tell the truth.
Totally worth a read
