10 years and they punk us out with time travel
I’m not going to lie, this was the epic conclusion to a 10 year saga and I couldn’t wait. I hoped and hoped they return to the heights after a fairly nothing movie in infinity war.

However they used some lazy storytelling techniques to fix there MCU problems and lost me. Was I entertained?? Yes I suppose I was but I was expecting to be blown away and no I wasn’t!!!

I just like Michael J. Fox. Michael was perfect for the role, he was funny, he kept the story moving and his character was engaging and sympathetic. I was young when I saw the movie, and I loved the idea of time travel. I dreamed I could be in an adventure like that and go everywhere in my time machine. The special effects at the time were very impressive to me. As a kid I felt this was a real adventure and I am an adventure nut.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019)
2019 | Adventure, Family, Fantasy
Sequel to 2014s Maleficent, that is now freed from the constraints of having to tell the Sleeping Beauty fairytale from the point of view of the wicked Queen.

With the plot here set in motion by a marriage proposal to Aurora, she and Maleficent travel to meet her suitors parents, including Michelle Pfeiffer as Queen Ingrith, who proves to be a 'real' Wicked Queen (that's no spoiler!), and who engineers a war against the fae folk.

In short: slightly better than the first, but still not brilliant.

"21st-century journalist Olivia Watson thinks travelling back in time to 1934 to attend a Halloween party with her friend Detective Steven Blackwell will be a lot of fun. And it is...until she witnesses the head of the Shipley Five-and-Dime empire murdered, and fears the killer saw her face."

As a fan of rpg games ive heard alot about the witcher series so i was excited to get into this game. Storywise i thoroughly enjoyed it, i love the alternative choices you can make and how that affects gameplay later on. Having completed the game once im currently attempting to play through on "dark mode" which i would not recommend as it is exasperatingly difficult. Mainly just because geralt responds so slowly to commands. I enjoyed the scenery in the game and the progression through the different chapters has lots of areas to explore. If you do only the main missions you could complete the game moderately quickly but fortunately there are lots of side quests and interesting things to find. I would probably enjoy the game more if it allowed me to travel back to places previous and had a fast travel system but as it is, was a great piece of work and i look forward to playing through number 3. Not sure if the choices made in this game affect how the story plays in the wild hunt but i hope so.

1990 | Hip-hop, Rap
1.0 (1 Ratings)
Album Favorite

"This 1990 masterpiece is very much a travel album. It has all the hallmarks and some of the pitfalls of a life on the road: the single 'I Left my wallet in El Segundo' is a case in point. The advice lyric 'I don't eat no ham'n'eggs cuz they're high in cholesterol' in the classic cut 'Ham'n'eggs' is another highly unusual call and response rhyme - but again paints a true picture of the perils of a road life spent in diners. Over the course of the album we visit Lucien in Paris and traverse around the world of music with a zillion samples of classic sixties and seventies rock and soul albums. It's always optimistic and wide eyed - the best way to travel. I was talking to my friend Ben the other day about how this is my favorite Tribe album - (most people seem to prefer The Low End Theory?) - but I learned so much about music through this record - The songs are great and it's one of those albums that drags you into a different universe and world view and changes you for the better."

Easily Picard and crew's best cinematic outing
The best (often seen as only good) entry in the TNG films is also one of the best Trek films period. The storyline blends both a Borg and Time Travel story in very clever ways and director Jonathan Frakes does a great job at keeping it fun.

In the story of The Mudhogs, the three pigs named Piggy, Piggles, and Piglet love mud. They want to play in the mud but there isn’t any in the barn that they live in. So they travel the world looking for mud… and when they get home they learn an important lesson.

This is a really cute book that all kids would love. It’s easy to understand and is written by a kid for a kid. The illustrations are adorable and the story is funny and cute. Recommended for ages 3-10.

A funny and informative read
As an avid reader of historical fiction, specifically medieval times, I have so many questions. How did the people live, work and travel? What did a village or town look like? Did people have toilet paper and what did they all wear?

This book answers all these questions, and much more!

If you ever want to know more about how people lived back then, this book is for you!
