Spoiler! There are a LOT of ridiculously cute (unless you have no Soul, and, well, then, it won't be so cute) photos of sloths, taken by the author, NCSU grad (go WolfPack!) Sam Trull! With the pages of the book, we are presented with recollections, along with accompanying photos, from Sam's work at the Sloth Institute Costa Rica, which she co-founded. I smiled (A LOT), and even teared up at the end, but all in all, it was money well spent! If my wife and I ever hit the lottery, we have both agreed upon donating to the Institute. Thank you, Sam, for sharing your stories with us!

** I would have finished it sooner, but I was trying to ration it, to make it last longer.

This was a strange one. A lot happens throughout the story but jumps around a lot. Ancient artifacts causing time warps will do that. The acting was pretty decent and the cinematography was well done. There's a few mildly graphic scenes., so probably not for kids. Otherwise this was an interesting watch. It plays to choices made by the characters and the varying outcomes. Patrick Wilson is in this one and, as usual, plays the part of villain quite well. Overall this one keeps the interest to the end(which is a little simplistic compared to the rest of the movie)and wraps it up nicely without the typical Hollywood "leave it open for a sequel" route. Worth a watch!

Similar to the other 3 in a lot of ways

Well a film I was definitely looking forward to. The original Matrix was ground breaking and blew audiences away with so much.
This 4th installment just doesn't have that impact. A lot of similar themes to the original Trilogy resurface again. At times almost feeling like a reboot rather than anything new. The action scenes are very good especially towards the end, but the overall story of events from the last film to this one don't offer up much new content or ideas. Enjoyable for fans but still not a patch on the original.

Excessive sexy time... like really... in the middle of a war? (0 more)
I love this trilogy, but I don’t know what to think about this one, it was too slow in the beginning then too rushed at the end and there where a lot of questions unanswered. I just felt empty when I finished it.

A fairly standard Big Finish outing offers very little NEW insight into Hex and Ace, serving up (yet another) war time historical, which seems to be Hex's lot in life. It's not that it's bad, in fact, the lack of any alien/supernatural twist is a bit refreshing. It unspools and then it's over and you think, oh, okay.

There is a lot of potential in this series. I look at this book as a set up for the genre bending that we have promised. This is a fantastic read – I recommend it to all readers of fantasy.

fantastic fighting game with great visuals that is a lot of fun to play casually but with enough depth to master. The new Multiverse mode will keep you playing for a long time while you build the perfect Batman.

A Despicable Story... And Not In The Good Way
This is the worst of the Minion franchise, The film was funny and a lot of the humour was slapstick which i enjoy.
The story for the characters was not very good and the Gru & Dru story was just wierd and not funny
