Interesting but disappointing

The director of Under the Skin shows us an interesting dynamic play out when a ten year old boy enters the scene while a wealthy man is engaged to a woman who had lost her husband 10 years earlier.

The young boy claims to be her dead husband come back to life in this small body. The young man wants to reenter the woman's life and wants her not to marry her current beau. The woman starts to struggle with her feelings, especially the ones she thought she had put behind her and she has to make some difficult choices.

The film is interesting and well acted by Nicole Kidman, but I feel the payoff was not that fulfilling and some scenes were sort of scrapped together with no real point.

There were a few awkward scenes between Nicole Kidman and the young boy which made me cringe in my seat a little which were kind of hard to watch.

A little disappointed.

Ancient Greece

100s hours of gameplay

What a game so far as I've only played about 6 hours of gameplay so far and Impressed by the game in my opinion so even better than red dead redemption 2 one of the best open world's I've seen ancient Greece looks amazing it looks so real. Currently playing the game as Kassandra one of my favourite female protagonists in any game I've played u also get the option to play as akexos but I will stick with Kassandra to the end of the game. I also like it when the game gives u the choice to change the outcome of a mission it can be tough but the right decision isn't allways the right one later in the game. also u can choose who to get romantic with either male or female characters u meet along the way. Currently started the sea faring missions with my crew where we will go next that's the exciting part of the game and I'm in for adventure.

Predator dog... WTF?!

So, another week, another disappointment at the cinema. This week, it's the turn of The Predator.

For the first 40 minutes or so though, I actually really enjoyed this latest installment of a franchise that has always struggled to match the original. Some interesting ideas and characters are introduced and there's a healthy dose of intense action as a captured Predator escapes a facility it's being held captive in. Overall, plenty of potential.

But then, probably soon after the arrival of the huge CGI Super Predator, the movie slowly descends into nonsense. What doesn't help is that the editing is noticeably bad from then on too. Scene cuts that don't make sense and numerous occasions when you just can't tell who is doing what, where people are and who is getting killed. It's a frustrating, jumbled mess.

And in among all of that, there's a predator dog that goes from trying to kill everyone to following them around and wanting to play fetch like a real dog!! Ridiculous.

Forces aggressive play creating a fast game with a lot of back and forth (2 more)

Awesome miniature models with great details

Well balanced with a smart combat system

Sheer variety of cards for power ups can make things a bit overwhelming at first (0 more)

Worship, wars and wrecked plans

Initially Kemet can seem a little intimidating with a big selection of power-up cards with a wide variety of benefits and costs. There are so many paths to victory that it might take a couple of games to get your head around it. Once you do start to figure everything out though it's a really fun game, and the victory conditions and points system force players to be aggressive and lead to a real sense of power struggle between the factions.

I've only played this with the full 5 players and imagine it might be quite different with fewer, but I would definitely recommend people give it a go. It's also a blatant stargate rip-off, but I don't count that against it!
