Movie Rating Watch

I was ready to walk out in the first 10-15 minutes. I thought they had ruined it and I would be better not to stay and watch the rest. I am glad i did stay, the film got better and better.
Will Smith did an amazing job with the character of the genie, and my favourite part by far was the prince Ali song. The rest of the film was very similar to the original animation, the main difference being Jasmine. This version seemed to focus a lot on Jasmine's political standing, more than the original. I think this has developed the story further than it was, in a positive way.

CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated Hellespont by Simon Herron in Music

Jul 11, 2019

Yes, this is in some ways the soul of Damien Rice, but there is something plaintive about the entire song that strikes a note Rice never hit. Sure, I'm a sucker for the one note piano melody; we have a lot of that, and some extra intervals, but the mark of this song for me is the pony-slow walk of the timpani, the subtle sway of the violins, and the perfectly precise acoustic strums.

If this song were a painting, it would be a piece by Gauguin with those swirling fields of yellow flowers, in his own Hellespont of Arles - which some say is the only place he ever felt at home.

Very easy game to play (1 more)

Beautiful game

Storage is an issue, the box is huge and there is no easy way to repack after use (0 more)

It looks completed, it's not

If you saw rising sun being played, you probably wouldn't be the only one who thinks there is a lot going on and that it's a complicated game. This is not the case.

After the first season it's very easy to know what's going on, the game flows well through each stage.

With the range of potential decks to use the games can be different each time you play making it great for playing again and again.

Try the game, then see if you still think it's too complicated
