So how funny could Game Night really be? That was the question I asked myself after seeing the hysterical trailer for the movie before its cinematical release, so now that Game Night has now arrived from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on Digital Download and on Blu-ray™ and DVD. It was time for me to check out the movie on Blu-ray.

Game night stars Jason Bateman (the “Horrible Bosses” films, TV’s “Arrested Development,” TV’s “Ozark”) and Oscar nominee Rachel McAdams (“Spotlight,” “Dr. Strange”) as they take Game Night’s to an extreme, this is not just about sitting at home playing Monopoly or Cluedo, this is about taking the evening a step further into hysterical situations.

All hell breaks loose when a strange force animates the puppets up for auction at a convention, setting them on a bloody killing spree that’s motivated by an evil as old as time in Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. which was recently shown at the Fractured Visions Film Festival.

I remember many years ago, in those days of VHS back in the 80s/90s seeing the first Puppet Master movie, it was one of the movies that I loved, not for just the slightly gory bits, but also for the way that the puppets were created and animated on the screen, via stop-frame animation and practical effects as well.

Generally speaking, if a book looks as though Germany, or somewhere in Germany, is going to have a reasonably central role, I’m going to read it. And Berlin didn’t disappoint.

Daphne has moved to Berlin, ostensibly to learn German, but as the book progresses it seems more likely that she’s trying to escape something. Trouble and strange occurrences seem to follow Daphne, and I was left wondering if it was in her imagination a lot of the time. Nothing is easy - from her German lessons, to her relationships and flat rentals.

Daphne is an unreliable narrator - and I think that’s all I need to say! Other than: it was a great read that I really enjoyed!

Book Rating
The second full-length Sherlock Holmes novel (after A Study in Scarlet), in which Arthur Conan Doyle further develops the character of Sherlock and Dr Watson, in particular bringing to attention the former's cocaine habit and his ability to be a master of disguise.

This time, the duo are investigation the strange affair of Mary Marston - whose father disappeared years ago - and her unknown benefactor; an affair which later proves to have ties to the Indian Mutiny of 1857, and four co-conspirators (hence 'The sign of THE four', as it was originally called who each lay claim to a treasure stolen during that mutiny.

Can definitely see the characters being developed; in particular that of Dr Watson.

Fairly good start before the weird ending (0 more)
Rather odd and open ended (0 more)
I don't know
A Sci-Fi Horror that starts fairly well but has a rather odd ending that might leave you scratching your head.
A weird shimmer zone appears around a light house and appears to be expanding. Scientist's are not sure what to make and any expeditions into the area do not return.
More traditional Horror to start with as a team of female scientist's enter the area and encounter some strange biological difference's in the plants and animals.
Sadly the ending was very different and odd that's left to your own reasoning as to what it's about. Won't be for everyone.
