The Craggus (360 KP) rated Aladdin (2019) in Movies
May 25, 2019
A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard for Disney’s surprisingly beguiling Aladdin (2019)
In terms of what you might be expecting, Disney’s live-action adaptation of their own animated take on Aladdin is much more than a diamond in the rough. Against the odds, and certainly expectations, Guy Ritchie and his likeable and talented cast have managed to deliver a cave of wonders which honours the original classic and yet still manages to find enough new angles to make the story feel new again...

Peter G. (247 KP) rated Django Unchained (2012) in Movies
Jun 5, 2019
A Tarantino classic in my book, well scripted and acted with so many great moments and even a Cameo role from the original Django, Franco Nero.
The revenge plot is so well put together and the storyline riveting, Tarrentino has this thing about casting actors we haven't seen in a while and then getting a near career best performance from them, Don Johnson being a highlight. It all moves at a great pace with the finale and shootout scenes and dialogue adding further polish to this stunning movie.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated The Godfather (1972) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
I bet you didn’t think you’d see a gangster movie on this list. Well, stick with this one. The Godfather is arguably one of the greatest films of all time. That’s of course helped by the incredible performances and engrossing storyline. But, the reason it makes this list is the opening wedding scene. The Godfather opens with a traditional Sicilian wedding! Setting the tone for this now classic film, Connie Corleone’s wedding brings you right into the family’s politics.

Heaton is on point as Nicholson gives good account
In an era where comic adaptations are starting to become a thing again, this attempt at barman leaves little to imagination. Both Keaton and Nicholson give extremely good performances on what was a fairly lacklustered storyline. All a bit predictable. That being said, the performance of Nicholson took it above and beyond.
Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Tigris & Euphrates in Tabletop Games
Mar 7, 2018
The best edition of one of the best, must-own board games in the world.
Tigris & Euphrates is one of my favourite games of the last twenty years, and a true classic of the modern boardgame era. Looking at the BGG rankings again, I find it an affront that it is not in the top-20 like it once used to be. Its current edition is the best that has ever been published. This is a must-buy; that's just it.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Horton Hatches the Egg in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Mayzie the bird is tired of trying to hatch her egg, so Horton, an elephant, agrees to keep it warm for her. Will he stick with it no matter what happens to him?
This is a Dr. Seuss classic told in rhyme with wonderful illustrations. I loved it as a kid, and it holds up well today. Plus it has a good lesson about stilling to your commitments.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008) in Movies
Feb 14, 2018 (Updated Apr 15, 2020)
Why!?
You wait 21 years for a sequel to a cult classic and this is all we get? It's very poor saved at times only by Corey Feldman returning in his original role and not looking much older, maybe he is a vampire too? It's a bit like a not so good take on of Buffy, just with more gore and nudity, essential for straight to DVD horrors. Some parts were ok but the overall film just makes you think what a missed opportunity. Watch once if you are curious.

I love this book. I love trains just as much as books. I enjoyed the charthers in the book. It about a family that has to make adjustment on the fly. I quite enjoyable. I love how this is a Classic. I did not know this book was out there to read while I was growing up. The Children name are Bobby, Phil and Paul.
If you want to know mare about it what happens I would suggest picking it up. Something happens that causes their father to go away.

Heather Cranmer (2721 KP) rated Exit Stage Left (Kempston Hardwick, #1) in Books
Jun 7, 2018
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
I loved this book!! It is heavily influenced by Sherlock Holmes (whom I love). Fans of Sherlock and classic detective books will love this book.
I love how short & sweet this book is, yet it is able to fit the full story in. Also, I am a big fan of books with short chapters. For some reason, it makes me read them faster, haha.
The plot and two main characters felt real.
I'll definitely be reading more of this author and this series. =)
