Very dark and twisted humour
Beautiful art style
Great soundtrack
All episodes are available on YouTube
This series is amazing - it's as though Invader Zim had a goth baby with Big Mouth, and then took a whole load of mind-altering drugs (particularly the last episode).
I'd highly recommend this, and I wish there was more of it!

The Ozzy part...no please...
I'm sure the book (I shall definitely read it) is going through all the details of the components' life, and it is important to show their experiences in order to understand their music....but which music? It is only about showing the craziness and their drugs and alcohol addiction.

Tom Cruise vehicle, telling the (supposedly true) story of Barry Seal, an American pilot who is hired by and starts flying missions for the CIA, soon encountering the likes of Pablo Escobar and starting to run drugs for him as well.
Slow and (ironically, giving the fact that he is a pilot) plodding: perhaps this type of film is just not up my street?

A great story
A great film based on a true story of the life of a group of friends growing up in the slums of Rio. Drawn into a violent life of crime, drugs and murder from a young age. The way it charts the life of the friends and brothers through the years and how their actions effect them in the future is very well done. A very entertaining film!
Dean (6921 KP) rated Brooklyn's Finest (2010) in Movies
Feb 12, 2018
A very good cop/crime action thriller film with an impressive cast. The main story follows 3 New York cops and the pressure each one is under working in one of the worst areas of the city. Full of drugs, guns, prostitution and various gangs that are on every corner. If you like some of the similar films you should like this. It has plenty of action and a grandstand finish!

Jul 25, 2018
An adaptation of the novels of Edward St Aubyn. Patrick Melrose comes from a rich family but after suffering abuse from his father he is reliant on drugs and alcohol which effects his relationships with others. Benedict Cumberbatch acts his socks off and is brilliant, the support actors are brilliant too. There is a bit of toing and froing between past and present so you do need to concentrate!

When a group of children hiding in their secret den see someone burying drugs in a hole in the ground, they collectively decide to do the right thing – dig it up and take it to their local police station. Unfortunately, before they’ve had time to hand in the drugs, they discover the dead body of a local small-time dealer where the drugs would have been, had they not dug them up.
Eventually they decide to tell the police about the body they’ve found but not that they’ve got the drugs, because they don’t want to be blamed for the death of murdered man. To avoid getting into trouble, and having their secret den taken away from them, the kids make up a story of discovering the body whilst playing a game of hide-and-seek. But of course, kids lying to the police can only get them into more trouble, right?
Are they now responsible for someone’s death? If they hadn’t of meddled with the drugs, would the man still be alive? These are just some of the questions raised in the book Game Players by Anita Waller, which highlights how a group of innocent children get caught up in a major drug dealing racket, and become stuck with a heap of drugs that people are killing for! These guys mean business and they’ll stop at nothing to get their stash back. It’s worth a lot of money.
This is a great book, and I read it super-fast. The children find themselves having to grow up overnight when their childish actions come with deadly serious consequences. This believable story shows how one act of naive kindness can turn their lives upside down as events spiral out of control and their own lives, and those of their families, are put in danger.
The kids were great to read about, as they were really good friends who looked out for each other. I loved how they worked together to get themselves out of trouble, just like those in Stephen King’s The Stand. They’re a team and think they’ll be together forever. Just like kids thinking the hot summer holidays are never-ending. I also enjoyed reading how one boy’s dad was involved in a way which made me dislike him, but when things got really bad, he had a change of heart and stepped up to become the concerned father he should have been all along. This is just one, of many plot threads, which made this book a worthy read.
This is an entertaining and believable thriller, which I found both gripping and incredibly moving. It’s about the true bond of friendship, decisions having consequences and the games people play with their lives. I enjoyed it immensely and will look into reading more of Anita Waller’s books from now on. Superb!
