Elli H Burton (1288 KP) rated The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) in Movies
Aug 20, 2019
Unbelievably fresh and unique. (2 more)
Brad Pitt gets to be more than eye candy, his acting ability is shown in this.
It is such a rollercoaster of feelings.
Just fantastic!
I'm not a reviewer that likes to include spoilers - especially on films I want people to watch so all I will say is this:
Please watch this. It's so fascinating, the story is unlike anything I've ever heard or seen before. It's not the usual Brat Pitt movie, but opposite Cate Blanchett he shines through. They both wouldn't usually be put together yet they work! It's a story that isn't realistic yet with the many other amazing actors/actresses in this movie it feels so real.

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
Raj dishonoured his family by going to America to chase a woman he has fallen in love with. Will he get his happily ever after?
First off, let me say yes, I know it says it's an erotic book. It really is. It certainly made me blush in parts, as well as wanting to say aww bless as he is so innocent. It just proves how different cultures work.
I read it as if Raj was talking, as that's how it seems to be written. Not sure if it was intentional but it works. It's not a story that I would read again but I enjoyed it.

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated War of the Ring (First Edition) in Tabletop Games
Mar 7, 2018
WAR OF THE RING REVIEW
This game is huge in more ways than one. Firstly the board is 41 by 54 inches so you are going to need a big table. Then there are a mass of plastic figures representing military units, blue for the Free Peoples and Red for the forces of Shadow. There are also figures for the main characters and others, and four decks of character and event cards. There is a 48 page reasonably well written and illustrated rule book. War of the Ring is a complex game and after set up which can take some time, play takes somewhere in the region of three hours.
So is it worth it? In my view yes.

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Star Realms in Tabletop Games
Mar 7, 2018
Star Realms Review
As a seasoned, dedicated Magic: The Gathering player, Star Realms really hits a home run for me. It’s certainly not Magic, not in terms of complexity, cost, design, or artwork. But the feeling of direct combat, me versus you, to see who wins is something that hasn’t existed in a deck builder before. It scratches a competitive itch that I’ve always had in a very similar way to Magic, and a way that other games fail to do. While everyone, myself included, draws the obvious comparison to CCGs, there is a lot to love here for most gamers, regardless if you’ve played CCGs before or not. Star Realms is a great two player deck builder.

not for me
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
My review for this will be brief, because I'm not sure I got the whole point!
It gives ghostly vibes in the title (The HAUNTING of ) and the blurb does hint at ghosts (the ethereal specter in the window), but there are no ghosts in this book! It slightly lacks the spooky factor as well.
It was one of those n-i-c-e books, that some folks will gush and praise and love, and others, like myself, will think, what is all the fuss about.
It is well written, though and I did finish it. I'm just really sorry I didn't really get it.
3 stars
