Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020)
2020 | Action, Adventure, Animation
After the first 15 minutes, I was convinced this was going to be 90 minutes of Clark Kent being a little bitch and being called 'kid' by everyone. Turns out it's actually 90 minutes of Superman, Lobo, Martian Manhunter, and a Godzilla sized Parasite smacking the shit out of each other, and it's pretty great.

Really nice animation, a decent voice cast, and an interesting alternative take on the early days of Superman's career. Not much to grumble about with this one.

I read the majority of this story on Wattpad but never continued after Colleen finished it. I bought the book and it sat on the shelf for a long time, me having forgotten that I never read until the end. I'm glad I waited, because it was nice delving back into the world of Sydney and Ridge, as well as experiencing the emotional growth of Maggie. Colleen always has me tangled up in my feelings and I never, ever get tired of it.

Liked this

Its been a few years since I read books 1, 1.5 and 2 in this series so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get into it but I did. I enjoyed reading more of the Black Falcons members romances. I liked Trip and Holly and the storyline was different to a lot of other rock star books.

It would be nice to finish the series with Tyke's book to see who manages to capture his attention and heart.

Fast gameplay, you can play this in 30 minutes, which is rare for a Uwe Rosenberg game. (3 more)
Awesome quality of the components.
Nice artwork.
The aspect of choosing cards is extremely fun.
The rondels might confuse new players and makes the game kind of hard to teach. (1 more)
The buildings are a bit "meh".
This is the best under-an-hour game by Uwe Rosenberg in our opinion, but it got its flaws.

Decent cast (1 more)
Good cinematography

Predictable jump scares
Poor direction
Another Grudge
We really don't need yet another film in the Grudge series. Another re-boot that offers nothing new. The usual predictable jump scares mixed with an odd feel. At times it felt more like a detective drama than a Horror film, but it just doesn't fit. It does look nice at times, the detective film vibe sections at least, but it's a waste of a good cast.

Buttons and Pain ended on a note so sweet, it could have soothed any craving for the rest of the day. I was a bit surprised by how happy the ending was, but I can't say I'm disappointed. So many important things happened in the course of these three books that the changes in Crow were both quick but welcome. Their story was long and full of drama, so it was nice to see things work out the way they did.

I think it would be really convenient if on the profile page, there was a tab for "Reviews" that is separate from "Ratings". I've rated a good number of movies, but have only reviewed a handful so far. It'd be nice if I could quickly scroll through my posted reviews without having to scroll through all of the rated (but not reviewed) items as well. Just sharing my two cents on the matter. Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll consider my suggestion.

I have added a 'Show reviews only' filter option to our development roadmap. No ETA on this yet, but expect in a 'near-future' update. Thanks for the feedback 🙂

On the eve of retirement a middle class, judgemental snob discovers her husband has been having an affair with her best friend and is forced into exile with her bohemian sister who lives on an impoverished inner-city council estate.

This is a wonderful combination of some super talent. A really nice quality film, simply story and really enjoyable. I don't know what else to say about this one. Pleasing, with a some laughs and a little bit of heartbreak.

Guilty pleasure
We binged watched both the first and second season even though its not normally our kind of show ! 😁
The premise was fine , the beauty of the show is seeing the Australian landscapes and beaches ect. ......... and maybe a laugh or two at some of the absurd contestants.
Season 2 added some nice touches but also lost some too , i hope they come back with a season 3 but go back to the original format and keep the bits they added !
