Book Rating
I have been looking forward to reading this book for awhile, the plot seemed just right. A cruel prince, a human girl, revenge, intrigue; it was all there. For me it did not live up to the hype though.
Jude was an inconsiderate, foolish, and all around incompetent character. She just rubbed me the wrong way. Plus I was hoping for a little bit of romance.
Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the plot and the idea of the fae not being good. That is different than most fae books today.
  
Django Unchained (2012)
Django Unchained (2012)
2012 | Action, Drama, Western
A Tarantino classic in my book, well scripted and acted with so many great moments and even a Cameo role from the original Django, Franco Nero.
The revenge plot is so well put together and the storyline riveting, Tarrentino has this thing about casting actors we haven't seen in a while and then getting a near career best performance from them, Don Johnson being a highlight. It all moves at a great pace with the finale and shootout scenes and dialogue adding further polish to this stunning movie.

Hard Hitting
I read this story when I was a teenager and the story has stayed with me even now in my 30's.

It was hard hitting and the last half has to be the best part of the book. It is the revenge that the friends get and the court case after that I enjoyed. Just goes to show how four friends can still be close after everything they went through. The film was good and had an all star cast but for me the book was remarkable.

X-Men 2- Wolverines Revenge (available on ps2 & GC since 2003)
In this hit sequel, wolverine and the X-Men (pun intended) are being hunted following an assault on X mansion/school for gifted youngsters. During this, Logan/wolverine comes into contact with the leader of the assault, an unknown figure from his past, the past he doesn't remember.

Featuring some of the best Graphics and stunt work, gritty story telling & a returning cast, X-Men2 is one of the best action/sci-fi/fantasy movies of the early 2000's.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin's Creed: Origins in Video Games

Currently working my way through this, about 70% complete and totally invested in Bayek and his story of revenge for the death of his son.

The game has a really large open world and it can take forever to get from one side of Egypt to the other, even on a mount, so it's really great to have the vantage points spread out throughout the map.

This is my first proper foray into the Assassin's Creed games as I could never really get into previous games.

I'm looking forward to playing more on the PS4
