Seen this too many times
I used to watch this movie a lot when I was in middle school.

Kind of a Star Wars/Logan's Run ripoff where an enslaved civilization lives underground doing the bidding of the evil Zygon never questioning if there is a world above or where they fit in the universe. The discovery of a mysterious sword hilt send Orin on an outer space adventure he would never forget.

It was always funny hearing animated characters says "damn" and "shit" when I was younger. Not a big deal now.

Originally released in 3D, you can tell when you watch, but it is still an entertaining animated thrill ride adventure.

Gameplay
A disappointing addition to an excellent game.
"Murder from Above" is one of the poorest expansions of the Resident Evil 2 board game.

It adds very little to the actual gameplay, with only one additional scenario to add to the core game.

In the reasonably large cardboard box filled with non-recyclable plastic, there are only 5 small figures (Giant Moth and 4 Murders of Crows), 3 cards and a sheet of paper with the scenario on...that's it.

But it is also the cheapest expansion to the game costing around £10 compared to the larger expansions that cost £30-40 (but do add more to the game).

A good, but at the same time underwhelming addition.

Hmmm … that was a weird one.

Ever since Bruce Willis doing the voice of the baby in 'Looks who's talking' I kind of feel that a load of Hollywood actors have wanted to get in the same gig: enter Alec Baldwin in this.

Made mostly for kids, this lacks the sophistication of a Pixar movie (which also has stuff to keep the adults amused), and is pretty much what it says on the tin (and poster): a be-suited baby giving orders to his older (and jealous) sibling while trying to stop the evil plans of the CEO of a Puppy corporation where his parents work.

You can see from the off right where this is going, and how it is going to end up ...

It's hard to believe this movie came out 9 years ago.... yet I know I've seen it enough to count those years. It's not my favourite Toy Story, mainly because I loved the first one so much, but it's by far the most influential one. It encouraged me to get rid of some of my toys and give them to charity stores for other children to use. Better home for them. I do however have a Strawberry scented Lotso of my own who I'm still not convinced isn't evil but he sure smells good!

Also like to add... Barbie and Ken? Adorable!!!!

And so glad Bonny was given the toys... they will love her! (See Toy Story 4)

A fantastic re-imagining
A return to a zombie infested Racoon city, following characters Leon Kennedy, a rookie cop who's first day on the force turns into a literal Nightmare & Claire Redfield who's seeking her older brother Chris (more on him later).

After a Virus is unleashed, Racoon city becomes a dark, monster filled, blood soaked Nightmarish place, where Leon & Claire must survive in order to uncover an evil conspiracy & save the City from an undead Extinction.

Great in game mechanics and nice character redesigns recreated in a dark toned game has pumped new life into a struggling franchise with more to come.

New voice work has been well received and it's not hard to see why.
