Movie Rating Watch

For many people (myself included) Sylvester Stallone is most associated with one of two characters: either the heavy weight boxer Rocky Balboa, or one-man army John Rambo.

This is his third outing as that latter character, becoming involved in the Afghan war against brutal Soviet invaders when his old army Colonel is captured following an undercover mission.

Yes, this is the one that provides the plot relentlessly lampooned in Charlie Sheen's Hot Shots part Deux.

Movie Rating Watch

Beautiful mythological tale of perseus saving a princess through battling many a trial.
The effects although great for their time have suffered greatly although the Harryhausen style will always command respect from those in the know.
It's a great fantasy movie where you can forget your issues and bathe in one of the classics that hands down beats the hell out of the CGI heavy remake. One for kids and adults that never really gets old.

Book Favorite

"My daughter Jenn recommended that I read this novel, which tells the story of a black couple in the South whose marriage gets torn apart by a horrible incident of injustice. Jones is such a good writer that she manages to make you empathize with both of her main characters, even after one makes a difficult decision. The subject matter is heavy but thought-provoking, and I got sucked into Roy and Celestial’s tragic love story."

David McK (3562 KP) rated Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) in Movies

Jul 25, 2021

Peter Weir's 2003 Napoleonic naval epic, based on the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O'brien and starring a post-Gladiator Russel Crowe alongside a PRE-MCU Paul Bettany.

And, like the books, I found this to be quite slow and heavy going: nice visuals, definitely, and some tense moments, but the connective 'tissue' very drawn out and just, well, boring.

Hornblower this isn't.

Your mileage may vary on whether that is a good thing or not.

Gameplay, fun, replayability (0 more)

Great gateway game

This is a great gateway into the world of boardgaming.
Fun, Easy to learn, infinitely replayable and lots of expansions to change it up.
This is a great way to get into tabletop gaming as there's some strategy involved without being too heavy or serious,
There are many ways to win and this keeps you guessing until final scoring at the end.
A minute to learn but a lifetime to master.
