Ground Breaking Classic
The game that probably helped sell the Dreamcast. This was unlike anything else at the time. Almost an open world game where you were free to explore, train your martial arts moves or just pop to the arcade for some retro Sega classics or darts! Along with some 3D scrolling beat em up sections. Something few games have tried since sadly. You will spend days worth of hours playing this!
ClareR (6106 KP) rated The Picture of Dorian Gray in Books

It’s an interesting premise that you are not held responsible for your ‘sins’, and instead they are laid out before you in a painting. A pretty hard going book in places: Dorian is pretty vacuous, and the things he and his friends talk about are inconsequential and ‘of their time’ - but that’s part of the reasoning behind his depravity. He cares about no one else except himself and whatever he can experience. I can see why it is such an enduring classic.

One of the original sci-fi classics
Up there with the original War of the Worlds as an original science fiction classic.
The art direction, look, feel and musical score of the film are amazing even by today's standards. Ok some of the special effects have not aged well, but it doesn't take away from the foreboding and interesting adventure.
Watch a brown-haired Leslie Nielsen do battle with the Krell alongside Robby the Robot.

Fun times
This cult classic is a fun musical.
This might not before everyones taste, very sexual theme movie. To watch this properly you need to go to an event where they are showing it. People will be there dressed up as characters and have props like water guns, toast and more fun things. If you plan to watch this at home you will be missing out on so much.
This is not a movie but a social event for the weird.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Rugged Texas Cowboy: A Western Romance in Books
May 7, 2019
This is two books in one, first you have cowboy and the captive and then cowboy and the thief. These books are classic romance stories with a sexy slant on them. These are two novella books. These books have plenty of characters development, a strong storyline and lots of hot and steamy scenes. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Jason Momoa
Best Superhero Film to Date
I have to say that before I watched Aquaman, my favorite superhero was Superman. The classic Christopher Reeve persona of Superman to be precise. But when I took my dad to see Aquaman for his birthday, that all changed. It's a fun loving film, great for any fans of action, superheroes and Jason Momoa. The special effects were spectacular. This movie has snuck up to be in my top 20 movies of all time.

Good soundtrack
Heartfelt funny film
Well I had high hopes for this after seeing the trailer. It is a cool and very funny film about a couple of friends who missed out on partying all year. So they aim to have a wild night to make up for it. It reminded me of a couple of other very good films about high school years. The soundtrack is pretty good as well. Maybe not quite a cult classic but still very enjoyable.

Story of how Walt Disney got Mary poppins made. It not on that story but goes into why travers didn't want the book made into a movie and why she was so protective over the Mary poppins character. This story not only goes into the making of the classic movie but into travers childhood. Not what I expected but very well made . Also Tom hanks was amazing as Walt Disney at times I literally thought it was Walt on screen

I was shockingly wowed!
The original tv movie was a classic horror movie in its own right but this one is a masterpiece. When it was over I was wowed by the factor that I honestly didn't think this movie could top the original tv movie but I have been wrong before and this new take on Stephen Kings IT was thrillingly crafted into a masterpiece. We need more horror movies like this.

A Modern Classic
Very few albums manage to successfully capture the mentality of a generation and give so many people something to care about. This is what the Stone Roses did in 1989 with their eponymous debut album.
This album is more than just music, it is a feeling that was captured and put to music. Inspirational to no end and iconic to this day. An absolutely fantastic first album that deserves its legacy and is still relevant in today's musical landscape.
