At times, it is easy to forget that everything the light touches has been created by a computer, and for all its visual spectacle and technical merit, the end result is one which feels empty and, like so many of the new Disney remakes, pointless.

Dirt 4
Dirt 4
2017 | Racing
It allows for an awesome and technical approach if you find yourself among those who crave the purest racing simulation worthy of Codemasters' reputation, but Dirt 4 now invites others less experienced to the table with alternate driving modes.
Critic- Andrew Ogley
Original Score: 4.5 out of 5

Whenever I try to include paragraphs with a line gap in between them in my reviews, it always seems to add 2 line gaps (I can't remember the technical term for this) automatically instead of just 1.

I know this probably just a paragraph/line spacing formatting thing, but is there a way of fixing this please?

My 1st podcast experience.
As an audio media sceptic, I Was very hesitant when I first tried this out. But after listening to 4 episodes I was ADDICTED! I listened to all of the material they've released 4 times now.

A beautiful trip filled with nostalgia
Criticising this update of The Lion King because of its similarities to the 1994 original is doing a real disservice to the time, money and effort that has gone into getting this behemoth of a film to the big-screen. Jon Favreau delivered a unique take on The Jungle Book and while the result is slightly less successful here, The Lion King is a technical marvel that shows what incredible special effects look like today.

Those emotional moments may not hit as hard as they used to, but this is a treat for the eyes and the ears and another satisfying, if cautious, win for Disney’s ‘live-action’ remakes.

Fun and unique. I enjoyed reading a book that had been written in another language initially, kind-of eye-opening. I like the premise, but it's a little slow at some points and at other points it seems a little... too technical. Often I got confused on which character was which. But worth checking out if you are into contemporary science fiction!!!

Movie Favorite

"A Soviet film, it came out when the Cold War was going full blast. American films celebrated victory without displaying the true extent of the cruelty of warfare, and the damages it inflicts on our humanity. Of particular technical interest to me was a combination handheld crane shot, which I duplicated in Bound for Glory with a new device called the Steadicam."

I do like my Marvel films and this was no exception. I did watch them out of order--which is not advised as things follow on in a lot of them--but I got the gist of things.

Wakanda is very advanced and seems like a great place to grow up and live. I loved his sister, the technical wizz.

It was an interesting watch.

Best since Saving Private Ryan
Simply the best war movie since Saving Private Ryan. Visual masterpiece and technical masterclass. It grips you in minute one and doesn't let go for two hours. A moving and memorable acheivement in every scene. Owes a lot to Kubrick, but that is no bad thing. See it!

One of those (e)-books I read, simply so I can say I've read it! To be fair, don't really know how to rate it: it's (obviously) not a novel, so can't be rated as such, but nor is it a technical manual.

More than anything, I think, it's a series of notes that are meant to be read alone, and in the contexty of the given situation.

It sounds like something that would be good for a history student so I'll have to see if I can get a hold of it . However I do have to say that I'd recommend you just rate it based on how much you enjoyed it even if you didn't enjoy it the same way as a novel . ?

Read it a few years ago: that's actually an import of my Goodreads review!
