Poirots moustache
Good remake of a classic
An enjoyable, if a little slow at times, star heavy adaptation of the Agatha Christie story - set on the Orient Express.
As good to watch as the original version with the cast making the most of limited screen time each, we may know the outcome of the story, but,even knowing that, the film doesn't disappoint, and Kenneth Branagh with his bizarre moustache fitting in well as Poirot, a role, I'm sure most people wouldn't have been able to see him playing.

A Good Mix
This movie was a great mix of funny and serious. Maya was an awesome character that you really wanted to see succeed even if she didn't go about it in a traditional way. For me the thing that really made this movie great were Maya's friends. All of them were hilarious, and it was nice to see such a strong group. They did a great job of mixing serious moments in without making this movie to heavy. I would highly suggest this if you are looking for something fun to watch.

Better
This prequel turned out much better than the original. The acting and cinematography were spot on and the story unfolded much cleaner. There's plenty of "creep" factor in this one. Not heavy on jump scares but the creatures and effects were pretty cool. Watching the other one will make it so you kind of know what will happen but it doesn't take away from the entertainment value at all. The good news is you don't have to see the original to enjoy this one. It's a good stand alone film. Worth a watch!

One of the greatest of all time
We Are The Romans is simply one of the greatest albums of all time. Period. Their second studio album Botch took it up a notch. It's like discordant emo if it had only listened to Coalesce and took steroids. It's incredibly heavy but also beautiful. It's hard without being macho, it's orchestral without being over the top. I can listen to this album over and over again and never get bored, just constantly absorb the emotion it gives me. An incredible album.

The Lament Configuration, that little box of pain and misfortune along with the cenobites had me at hello back in the day when this was released as it satisfied my horror fix and was certified X rated, which could be seen as a little heavy handed nowadays.
This film explores many subjects including sadism and sex and Clive Barker interweaves these wonderfully with gore and creepiness and pinhead the leader of the cenobites became a cult character that helped spawn many sequels, although I hear they never reach the heights of this classic.

Game is fun
Minor strategy
Casual
Simple. Great for kids & casual gamers
Build your kingdom using tiles in a domino-style game. Score by matching zone types with crowns on your tiles. This game is a lot of fun & great for casual players. Heavy-duty players may find it too simplistic. The "sequel" Queendomino kicks it up a notch. But if you're gonna play with your kids or your wife, who may not be the biggest board game geek, this one is okay.

Interesting text book
This is a heavy but interesting read. I have actually studied it to death for an essay on hysteria. If any ladies have a secret desire that they might have liked to have lived in the Victorian period, this book might change your mind. Women were treated disgracefully. I think had I been around in the late Victorian period I would have been institutionalised and certifiably mad. Overall, good read for it's purpose but not for relaxation.

Under-rated band gets new lease of life
Bear Vs Shark are one of those bands, too heavy for the indie kids, too indie for the hardcore kids.
This is discordant indie rock with powerchords, or post hardcore to some. Indie gone punk. And it's done brilliantly. Here their first two albums get remastered and put on one disc. The gruff gravel vocals are raw and blistering and Buses No Buses is just an anthem. Brilliant band and so underrated
