Watched a really good action thriller on Amazon called "Braven" starring Jason Mamoa. Remind me a lot of some of the old action movies from the 80s and 90s. Good acting, great cinematography, well played out (and fairly believable) storyline. He plays a logger who has to fight off drug dealers who've stashed a bunch of drugs in his hunting cabin in the woods. Really well made. I highly recommend this movie if you're into action stories. REALLY worth a watch!

A slightly above average Rom-Com, good to see a modern take on the genre for a change. It has it's funny moments, silly at times, a good all round cast. Although why "Ludacris" is in a Rom-Com I'm not sure? It's enjoyable enough, but still suffers from the typical cuteness at times and being a predictable Hollywood Rom-com in the end. If you like this also check out A lot like love with Kutcher and Peet in the lead roles.

Great farming board game! I enjoyed it very much!
I liked the tokens especially - so cute!
When played for the first time, the rules are hard to process unless you have a person that has played it a lot of times. When you play for the first time - expect to lose. Badly. I could have completed so many orders, but I didn't know I was eligible.

This is a game that you get better and better by playing more and more.

Do you play with any of the expansions? I have heard they make the game significantly better.

Yes it does.... the Essiantial is essential... I've not played with the moor expansion yet.

Welcome to the hellmouth, we've got double games. Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018) Review
If Hammer House Of Horror had produced “Spaced”, the result could have been a lot like “Slaughterhouse Rulez”. A common room home brew of British Boarding School classics like “If….”, “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” (the 1969 musical version specifically) mixed with “Ghostbusters” and dash of “Harry Potter”, this intoxicatingly lowbrow comedy horror offers a novel spin on the idea that British education has gone to the dogs....

A very steamy book indeed and a good story overall. The reason i gave this book 3 stars is because i found it very hard to get into and hard to understand at times. There seemed to be a lot going on all at once and the story kept jumping back and forward through time, also the constant having to look at the back of the book for the glossary was very distracting, other than that it was a very enjoyable read.

I thought this new iteration of Robin Hood was going to be awful, much like @King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword (2017) . BUT, I was pleasantly surprised. I was entertained throughout, and the action was good. The film didn't stray far from the original bones of the story, which was a good thing. Taron Egerton did well as Robin, and, Ben Mendelsohn is completely menacing. I won't be surprised if this film isn't a lot of people's jams, but I still completely enjoyed it.

I don't normally go in for these types of games but having been a fan of jurassic park since 1993 I thought I'd give it a go. It's not a bad game although without being out searching for a lot of time you will struggle in later levels for coins to evolve the dinosaurs. My only real dislike of the game is the hybrids, I know this is just following the film but I'm really not a fan of them.

umm decent i suppose, it was a lot better than i anticipated because sjm's writing style has deteriorated lately. However, I did enjoy this, and i feel it was a worthy conclusion to an excellent series. i might repost and go more in-depth into what i thought about the book. I read it in three days so i was kinda rushed, but maybe during my reread i'll do a chapter or section analysis in-depth kinda thing who really knows

Another bit of history that everyone should know about, this film does live up to its name and it is about the women behind the space war at NASA and how they helped immensely with the work but went unrecognised until recently because they were women and coloured. Worth watching and you might learn a lot, quite funny in places although it is not a comedy but a serious film. Have seen a couple of times and would quite happily watch again.

I loved this movie. It made me cry

I received this copy of Trouble on the Books from Netgalley and the publisher.

This was a very cool mystery. Shelby works at a bookstore in a castle. The only real beef I have with this book is that there's not a whole lot about the castle.
More castle, please!

So a not very nice person is killed and poor Shelby discovers the body.

The characters are great. I really enjoyed Edie.
There's also a really intriguing b plot involving Shelby's mom.
