A fun time, once it gets going
A comedy/mystery in the vein of Clue or Murder By Death, this film takes a while to get going. The jokes at the beginning are few & weak, but as it goes on, they get more plentiful & funnier. I found myself laughing out loud more than a few times. Everyone in the film is great & those who hate Adam Sandler will find him tolerable. The story is well enough & there's a pretty damn good car chase too. It's worth a watch once, maybe twice.

Interesting text book
This is a heavy but interesting read. I have actually studied it to death for an essay on hysteria. If any ladies have a secret desire that they might have liked to have lived in the Victorian period, this book might change your mind. Women were treated disgracefully. I think had I been around in the late Victorian period I would have been institutionalised and certifiably mad. Overall, good read for it's purpose but not for relaxation.

Currently working my way through this, about 70% complete and totally invested in Bayek and his story of revenge for the death of his son.

The game has a really large open world and it can take forever to get from one side of Egypt to the other, even on a mount, so it's really great to have the vantage points spread out throughout the map.

This is my first proper foray into the Assassin's Creed games as I could never really get into previous games.

I'm looking forward to playing more on the PS4

African supernatural love thriller
This is the first film I have seen from Senegal. It follows a girl who is in love but forced to marry into money, but love diesnt let go not even in death.

It is a slow burning artistic film and the paranormal aspect is almost a side project rather than the focus of the films which makes it even more interesting. This is a strange wonderful film and deserved of its cannes award
