Their original content is getting better and better. See classic movies and shows or new release. Depending on the show/channel watch as soon as the season ends on cable. The selection is so large there is something for everyone. I’ve been a subscriber since 2007 when I had the 3 discs at a time membership. I have never been disappointed or had any issues. I love that they pick up cancelled shows and stick with the same cast and crew. They do the fans proud. They also revamp old shows.

Can get very heated
A great classic game about building settlements and roads. The game always leaves you guessing on what the others are trying to do, and with different people can be very varied. It is amazing with the seafarers expansion, which balances the game a bit more especially in cases where players get really lucky in the beginning and end up with a monopoly of a resource. Bargaining and trading is key in this game and can cause a few funny exchanges,

Two hours of my life I'm never getting back
I really like old westerns, so I had high hopes for this movie. Needless to say it was a let down. You would think that with a two hour runtime they would manage to include some entertaining content unfortunately that was not the case. The movie was just boring from start to finish. The beginning fails to get the viewer engaged, and the ending was anticlimactic to the point that it was painful. Save your money and skip this movie. You're better off rewatching a classic western than setting through this trash.

Jemaine Clement, brilliant as always (1 more)
Taika Waititi, also brilliant as always
Very Funny
Decided to watch this classic again as part of my Halloween movie session. A very funny mockumentary following a bunch of vampires who all share a house and bicker over things like not doing the dishes or not cleaning up the mess after one of them has feasted on some virgins. Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi are both brilliant in this. Rhys Darby also makes a very funny appearance as leader of a bunch of local werewolves and those are some of my favourite moments ("We're werewolves, not swearwolves").

Delightfully Dark
This is an wonderfully adult take on a classic children's tale. All the characters you loved as a child are there however you may not love them so much in this version. Henry sets a fast paced tale that follows Alice from the depths of an asylum through a blood soaked path of discovery and revenge. Whilst the fast pace can leave you a little bit wanting in terms of build up and suspense this is a great and entertaining read. If you have a couple of hours spare I would highly recommend filling with this book.

Aardman carry on delivering fun funny filns
Aardman make movies that on one hand are just full of a British charm and on the other have a classic slapstick appeal. The new Shaun the Sheep sequel hasn't lost any of its appeal. The alien they introduce is cute and fun and funny. Adults and kids were all laughing out loud such is its accessibility of anyone of any age. I could take a five year old with autism or my grandad to watch this film and both would laugh.

Little update, so I know that "Films That I Missed in 2019" won for my poll recently. Unfortunately, their are films that recently came out on dvd, that have a long holding list for the library system that I use. Plus not everything for 2019 is out yet on dvd, their are films in December that I wanted to see and Didnt. That I wanted to see, so i have to push it back until September. Hopefully you guys are not upset/mad/angry with me. So for next month I'm doing "More Classic Disney Animation Films".

-Matthew.

Shrek-tastic fun
Found this gem whilst browsing online, I was surprised I hadn't heard of it being a fan of the franchise so was eager to give it a look.
based on the 2001 DreamWorks Animation film Shrek and featuring elements of sequels Shrek 2, Shrek Forever After and William Steig's 1990 book Shrek! This is a brilliant performance by both cast, crew and musicians with wonderful set colours & designs, really catchy musical numbers classic lines & some subtle adult jokes.

The runtime is a little over 2 hours which is more that enough to enjoy.

Rolling Stone's 498th greatest album of all time
I would have said I knew this album, but there a couple of songs I didn't know. Packed full of indie bangers (I am the Resurrection, Waterfall, Fools Gold, I Wanna Be Adored), a true classic. But a surprising amount of filler in this album, including Don't Stop (Waterfall played backwards) which made me feel a little sick. I would have expected this album to be higher up the list, but I am guessing the US base of Rolling Stone has dictated this somewhat (the NME list has this at 94th).
