Surprisingly good
I wasn't expecting much from this seen as it had a new director in Justin Lin,but it's actually very good - surprisingly so for a third film. The effects are great, the story is interesting and it's nice to see some of the supporting characters get a bigger part after Into Darkness (Bones, Scotty). My main issue is with Krall. Despite the films best efforts to make him a terrifying enemy, i just found him a little weak and the cg face was reslly offputting. Shame as Idris Elba is a fantastic actor and he could've been given more to work with.

Fun British Horror
This was a nice surprise I stumbled across a while back. A very good British Horror film, probably the best since @Dog Soldiers (2002) From the same Sfx team as Descent and the Woman in black. A group of passengers on the last train home out of Waterloo, a different kind of Horror, break down in the middle of no where... Just when there is a full moon. Despite the low budget this is pretty good with a recognizable cast, even if the acting is a little cheesy at times. If you don't mind lower budget Horror then check it out!

This is a cute little kids' comic that is both fun and has some good messages. It has some surprisingly deep concepts, such as animal testing, PTSD, and agoraphobia, but touches on them in a light way so not to disturb children (hopefully). I abhor animal testing so this probably bothers me more than it would a child, although it is aliens doing the testing in the book. Besides that, the characters are cute and well-represented, the drawings are nice and clear, and the colors are vibrant and fun. A very cute book that could be expanded into a series.

I would say it was very good, the story line and characters are different and it is nice to have a unique storyline, you have to collect keys in order to complete tasks to progress through the story (there are a lot of similar games with this idea) but at the moment it is getting very boring because the storyline run out a couple of hundred levels ago so I am just collecting stars for what I don't know yet. The good thing is that I don't have to spend money as the levels are not too hard and can be passed after a few tries.

This could have been so much better. Nice idea but on a tight budget, and thin plot lines it doesn't live up to potential. I thought Arielle Kebbel being in this might be a good sign, but it's not up to the usual quality of films she is in.
I also have to add I really don't understand why they try to Americanise this film? It was obvious to me this was made in the UK, Northern Ireland, so why not set it there? Why try to make out it's a small town in America? Only for those who don't mind low budget horrors.

This is the first book by this author that I've read. This is the first book in this series by this author. This is a melt your heart romance story, perfect for these winter nights. This story will make you laugh, cry and smile as you read. The characters were amazing, I just fell in love with them from the start. The secondary characters were really good too and worked well in the story and helped it to move along at a nice pace. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Childhood feels
Disney started to make live action movie of their classics quite long time ago. Aladdin was my favourite (along side with the Lion King) and I was a bit worried about this live action. I went to the cinema and Disney did it again. I was a child again for all the movie, laughing and enjoying every single scene. Was a really nice surprise. The songs were brilliant, the cast amazing, Will Smith exceptional. The only thing I didn't like it was Jafar. He didn't really convinced me.

Nice heart warming story
Romantic comedies are not my usual read but I felt like a change. And I'm very glad I gave it a try, it was a very easy read as it was full of good scene setting description character build ups and an interesting back story too. Well worth the read, even if you're not a romcom reader.
The story is about Katy who is a wedding photographer with her own business who was left struggling after a family betrayal. Katy learns to trust and eventually love again. There are ups and downs that keep you glued to the book from beginning to end!

Always a different topic with a great expert, and does a great job interviewing, Amazing for Game Designers especially for aspiring ones
I love this podcast. I'm a aspiring board game designer with a couple of prototypes but still have a long way to go. It never fails to inspire me to do better and consider things from a different perspective. Gabe does a very nice job selecting experts on the topic from the game world. I'd list the names but they won't mean much if you don't play board games. This is a great show and an amazing resource for us designers.

young & good heart
when i bought this album, i'd only heard "location" by him. and i'd never heard any of the other songs before i decided to just go ahead and buy his whole album. i don't know what it was about him, exactly, that just made me put a whole however amount his album's worth out there to support him. but i'm so glad i did! he's such a humble guy, he's wise, and he's 19 having been nominated for a grammy.
he's definitely on his way to being one of the greats
