Ahead of its time, and basis for a lot of things we can see now (0 more)
Eye opening classic
This book is light years ahead of its time and whilst it’s written in a traditional style for the forties it hits on key issues. The censorship and the control that it describes is not so far fetched yet abhorrent to the reader - and thus sucks you straight in
  
Trainwreck (2015)
Trainwreck (2015)
2015 | Comedy
At times it feels as if five different films are going on at once, but Schumer’s whip-smart delivery and no-holds perkiness keeps it all in place. Just as her director wilfully mines his own life for laughs, there is a whole lot of Amy in Amy.
Critic- Ian Nathan
Original Score: 4 out of 5

Aquaria
2007 | Action/Adventure
Aquaria is an extremely high-quality product and a fine example of a genre that hasn't gotten a lot attention in recent years—it's no surprise to me that it took top honors at the 2007 IGF awards. Its charm and style engrossed me from the opening level

My favourite book this year!!
Another book that deserves more than 5 stars. I loved this - a book that I thought about constantly, even when I wasn't reading it. The story of Cyril Avery's life, from the moment his mother is ejected from the village church and the village itself, up until near his death. An absolutely wonderful story. I laughed (a lot), I cried.
Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic Game
The story is great and the game play is excellent. There are a lot of great side quests to go with the main quests. There are some cool mini game events also. Daily quests are included as well and offer good rewards like legendary weapons or rare mounts. Definitely worth playing.

Fifty Shades Darker (2017)
Fifty Shades Darker (2017)
2017 | Drama, Romance
Still a mess
I'm not sure what to make of this? It's not a romantic film, neither erotic despite the content and not dramatic. None of the actions of the Characters really make a lot of sense. Despite watching the extended cut of the film it really just feels like a mish mash of story lines that never really come to anything? Strange one.

Podcast Rating
This is probably one of the first few, if not the first, podcast I actively followed.
If you like things a little strange (ok, a lot strange), a little Lovecraftian, a bit outside of the box, and with a bit of kitch, this is definitely the podcast for you.
There are also strip books, as well as original story books available at any bookseller.

Hits the right notes
I found this surprisingly funny and enjoyed the sound track for the film. I'm not a big fan of Musicals and a lot of singing in films, but this still felt more like a Rom/com. You can tell the cast had a blast making this film. Give it a whirl.

No Isla Fisher
Wish I hadn't seen this
I quite liked the original film and hoped this would be more of the same. It's a shame Isla Fisher didn't return. Some of the scenes are ridiculous even for a "magic" film, some plot lines don't make a lot of sense. Overall it felt like a quick lower budget sequel.

This book had alot of potential, but it was terribly hard to get into. Ididn't like that I couldn't really develope a better connection with the three queens and also how nothing really happened until the last 50 pages. However the end did peak my interest and I have high hopes for the second one
