The Smiths by The Smiths
The Smiths by The Smiths
1984 | Rock
Rolling Stone's 473rd greatest album of all time
I have been listening to a lot of 80s alternative music recently, having become obsessed with The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen. My feelings for the Smiths has softened somewhat, moving to musical appreciation and less "I don't like Morrisey's voice", despite his recent apparent racist nationalism. But a few of the songs on this album put this back a step as he is quite insufferable at times. A few of their classics are here but generally overshadowed by him being … him.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)
2009 | Adventure, Comedy, Family
Second film in the 'Night at the Museum' franchise, with this one moving the setting to - guess where? - the Smithsonian, and following on the same themes as in the original movie.

This is the one with the Oscar the Grouch and Darth Vader cameo, and that also stars Amy Addams as Amelia Earhart, receiving top billing alongside Ben Stiller.

Personally, I didn't find this as enjoyable as the first - perhaps a case of familiarity breeding (not quite) contempt? - but did none-the less find it amusing enough

Watching as part of the 60th anniversary of doctor who rewatch anyway the show if anyone were to watch this who they think hang on this seems familiar it is it was remade as dalek invasion 2150 with Peter cushing as the doctor the plot is the same except for one thing the movie doesn't do this is the doctors granddaughter Susan's last appearance for 20 years. One of the best parts of the story is seeing daleks moving around London landmarks like Westminster Bridge. Overall good story

Awesome geekiness!

This is awesome, fun, sensitive and moving. Watching a budding romance and the trials of two beautiful people is heart warming.
   It's great seeing the family dynamics and the problems that Roxie and Melody encounter. The resilience they show is inspiring to say the least.
   I'm loving this LGBTQ story, packed with geekiness, boardgames and a love of horror movies. I started to fall in love from the first page....I'm thrilled that it's the start of a series, I can't wait for the next installment
