Sean Farrell (9 KP) rated A Game of Thrones in Books
Mar 15, 2018
I finally got around to jumping on this bandwagon, and I can say I am very glad I did. The writing may not be as pretty or elaborate as some authors have been tending towards lately, but that doesn't in any way detract from this epic tale. The characters are all engaging (if not always particularly likable), the settings always imaginative, the histories well thought out, and the plotting twisty and exciting. An excellent book that has definitely got me hooked on the series.

"Get your ass to Mars."
So, I didn't actually see this film until the remake was in the process of being made. The film is based upon 'We Can Remember it for You Wholesale' by Phillip K. Dick (which is excellent). Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't an award winning actor, but he was completely entertaining (as he is in most films). The weird, early 1990s SFX where a little bizarre, e.g., the face generator. Overall, it's entertaining and well paced, and I may just watch it again this afternoon.

I picked up this book a few years ago, solely because of the beautiful and creepy Penguin Deluxe Classic edition cover. I was not disappointed, the book was also creepy beautiful.
The town described in this book reminded me of the small village my grandmother lives in, to include the bizarre mob-mentality. The atmosphere invoked is creepy and intriguing. You're left wondering until the very end what exactly happened, and the things left unsaid are telling. Overall, a terrifyingly excellent book that I plan on rereading.

Gameplay
Excellent
This is a great game. I started the story but jumped straight into the multiplayer storyline which I liked so much better. The graphics are beautiful and gameplay much better than the previous red dead. The only problem is the amount of time it takes to get from A to B. Something happens you lose everything and you can't save.
I tried the PvP battles. Meh.
Overall it's very cool but eventually you get bored especially if your friends are not playing.

Just finished watching just as good as the last time they were on ten years ago brilliant comedy all the actors are back fitting back perfectly into their roles and a excellent script from both Ruth Jones and James Corden what's not like. And then there's Rob bryden as uncle Byran his almost meltdown over the Christmas turkey magic. Hope they make another soon and not ten years from now due to big cliffhanger

Blood and feathers
Finally a decent guy Ritchie movie I actually liked after king Arthur and aladdin which I haven't seen. Back to download Ng the kinda movie which he's famous for eastend gangster type of movie. Acting excellent plenty of swearing which would make you're mother blush. For me the standout acting goes to high Grant playing against type not his usual and it works. Probably the ne of my favourite movies of the year so far

Excellent war film, very well done cinematics
Would highly recommend going to see this. Loved the first person aspect and the fact that it was one take. This made for a very immersive experience and I felt really connected to the characters/story.
Reason for not 10/10 is the fact that some of the shadow work I think was a bit wrong and didnt match the setting. Would have to watch again to confirm this.
