Epic series, on par with GOT
I was recommended this by my husband as I don't normally go for this genre, thought I would give it a couple of episodes. That was three seasons ago and can't wait for the next one.

Way too political, and pretty disgustingly violent and bloody. Wish there were more time spent on Kip and on the magic system. Touts itself as being "epic" but I just felt that it wasn't edited well, and ended up being way too long. Interesting and fun at times for sure.

Rami Malek epic. Very good biopic overall. I don't know much about Queen other than their music, so complaints about filmmakers not getting events correct or in the correct order do not bother me in this case.

Worth watching for the performances alone. Great film.

1994 | Documentary, Drama

"This was the first documentary I ever saw in a movie theater. No less than an epic opus, the documentary you show people who don’t think they like documentaries, and the sort of film that lives with you whether you are a sports fan or not. (For the record, I am.)"

1980 | Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi

"The best movie ever made. EVER. It has action, adventure, Sam Jones, epic space battles, hot space babes and a kickass theme song. And one day, I will realize my dream of sleeping with Princess Aura of Mongo, even if I have to pay an escort to wear the outfit."

"How did this film fly so far under the radar? I think especially as a woman who grew up Christian in the South, seeing the Christ story through a heroic woman’s POV was… transformative. I love its doc-style approach to such epic material. The miracle is in the conscience."

Rolling Stone's 372nd greatest album of all time
Superb second album by The Police, featuring the epic Message in a Bottle, the brooding reggae of Walking on the Moon and a good few other great songs. For me this was The Police (and lets face it therefore Sting) at their best.
