Well done
This movie turned out better than it looked like it would. A little slow moving at first but picked up and got pretty intense. It has an interesting twist to it, too. The acting was good but the cinematography could've been a little better. I thought-lighting wise-it was darker than it needed to be but I think ir was intentional. Overall a pretty entertaining movie that isn't exactly what it seems. Really worth a watch!

Watched last night on Disney + after watching the movie last night I realised why I didn't go to see it at the cinema during the summer for starters the plot for me could get confusing but I got there in the end. Rebecca Hall was the star and she managed to keep the plot moving even when I didn't understand what was going on sometimes overall not bad movie but could have been better

Star Wars: Imperial Assault: The Kotaku Review
Imperial Assault is a board game that was released in late 2014. I only got around to playing it over the weekend, and I already count those months between as wasted.
Having made a ton of money off their excellent X-Wing game before moving onto capital ship battles, Imperial Assault is Fantasy Flight’s shot at moving Star Wars into more traditional tabletop territory.
If you’ve ever played HeroQuest, Space Crusade or even XCOM, you’ll be familiar with the basics here: players take control of a character and take turns to move about a grid-based battlefield, using terrain as cover as they battle enemies and complete objectives.
It’s designed for 2-5 players, but shines brighter the closer you get to the latter. A single player—basically the dungeon master—takes control of all Imperial forces, while everyone else selects a single Rebel character, choosing from a stable of RPG class stalwarts (support, sniper, etc).

The Miseducation of Cameron Post has the potential to be a beautiful and moving piece of literature
Hours before her parents died, Cameron Post was kissing a girl. Now living with her conservative aunt, she has to hide her sexuality, but when her aunt finds out that she is more than friends with beautiful Coley Taylor, everything changes.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post has the potential to be a beautiful and moving piece of literature, but it isn’t. The book felt unnecessary and I feel like I wasted my time, taking nearly a year to finish it. Parts of the book felt as if they didn’t exactly fit in and could easily have been left out. I also thought that the ending left a lot to be desired.
I was really excited to read this book after reading lots of amazing reviews about it, but I was extremely disappointed. I wish I had left it on the DNF pile rather than forcing myself to finish it, in the hope that it would get better.
