What a line up of superheroes! Great film with amazing action scenes. Feels just like another Avengers film with some new characters introduced. The plot is a bit silly with the idea the team is divided over political issues and willing to fight each other. However it makes for a great superhero mash up.

[Eric Larson] does it again with [Dead Wake] by making non fiction read like fiction all the while providing a great amount of information. The research that he does before writing a book shows his deep passion fro the topics. In [Dead Wake] he informs the reader not only what is was like being on the Lusitania, but also the political intrigue that seemed to surround the voyage and it's demise.

Scenes pick up where they left off in the previous episode, and respect the audience’s ability to sustain interest. Given the intrigue, great characters and Spacey’s sublime performance, viewers won’t need gimmicks to keep them coming back for more.

Don't watch this is you have a daughter!
Really enjoyable film although a little slow at the start. It's definitely not an action packed take on the genre but that adds to its charm. Some cracking performances given and an interesting commentary on the world's political stance which was unexpected.

Mary and Joseph deal with the fallout of getting married despite the fact that Mary is pregnant. However, with the political forces in play, what danger might they face. This was a slow moving book. The fictional characters were interesting, but it wasn't enough to save the book.

The Podding Shed
Absolutely brilliant, funny and insightful, the podding shed headed up by the awesome Tony, a regular on the best Chelsea podcast the Chelsea Fancast, The Podding Shed is a deep dive into Chelsea's games and seasons. The intelligence and insight is exceptional and they aren't afraid to get political. Brilliant, only let down by not podding enough

Remains one of my favorite movies in any genre.
No, I didn't watch the ridiculous TV reboot or the short-lived Broadway show, nor will I. The original holds up just fine with its commentary on society and political correctness. Christian Slater does some of his best work, and Winona Ryder can do no wrong. Plus, baby Shannen Doherty! (she's just 17 here!)
An absolute classic in my book.
