The kick off to a young adult line of mystery novels featuring the Brig's granddaughter Lucy Wilson, this has the set-up feel of the Sarah Jane Adventures, with a slightly more adult tone. Not much more, as these are designed to be aimed at the younger set, but feel more Doctor Who in the peril thrown at our heroine. An enjoyable read that also manages to expand the Brig-verse. Highly recommended! For more, visit www.travelingthevortex.com

The magic doesn't quite ring true in this one
This film just doesn't seem to have the magic we've all come to know and love from the Harry Potter Verse. While the cast is great in their roles, the story just falls flat. It's attempts to have too many twists without delivering on any of them

"I always go back to Death on the Stairs, the Libertines song. I love that tune. It’s the story it tells, it takes me to a place so far away and yet so familiar. It’s really hard though - I don’t believe in first or best or worse, I'm into liberty and verse - as Pete once sang [in a demo for The Libertines’ The Man Who Would be King]. It’s like going through your kids and picking your favourite child"

"I discovered this book when I was working on my third album, Man. The second verse of the track, “Woman,” grew out of a section of this book. “Women Who Run With the Wolves” is a book of mythical stories, tales, and wisdoms of women (though men can enjoy it too!). I use it as a map of our journey—I like to open it at any page—like spinning a globe and seeing where my finger lands."

The weakest of the three, but still great!
While I absolutely loved the first two films, this one disappointed me a bit, but I still liked it a lot. Can't really put my finger on why though. Maybe it was the weak villain or the weaker story. The movie is still fun, funny & visually spectacular. Much better than the choppy Spider-Verse animation. It seems like this may be the last in the series, so I'm kinda bummed about that.

Wizard Olympics... and some folks die.
In the continuing story of Harry Potter, we get to follow our gang of wizards through a few seldom seen events: The Qudditch World Cup and the Tri-Wizard Tournament. We meet a few new characters and we get to dig even deeper into the storyline that continues through the whole series. Besides getting deeper into EVERYTHING in the Potter-Verse, we also get our first visit from a full grown and resurrected He Who Cannot Be Named.

Dangerous game I'm.playing

Reviewing the knot after one listen
I remember kerrang calling the unknown band the white wu tang clan, following by them or metal hammer destroying my mind worth the inclusion of eyelets on their cover CD. Seriously
Fast forward to the 42 year old now who sees past the theatrics but since verse 3 loves the band as the anthemic heavy grinders they are.
After first listen o think this CD is meandering cheap...but I'll be back lol
  
Another outstanding entry in the Brig-verse. When you tell me zombies are feature players, I inwardly groan a little as it's not a genre that typically fits the Doctor Who (or Lethbridge-Stewart) mold, and instead feels like a Walking Dead fan trying to insert his fan fic into someone else's sandbox. Not so here, as there's a certain logic and working science to the proceedings that makes all misgivings go away. The story is fast-paced and nicely told.

Nine years. That's how long Richard and Mildred Loving had to fight just to live together as husband and wife in the state of Virginia, their case traveling all the way to the Supreme Court. Ms. Powell recounts their travails in alternating pages, in spare but beautiful verse that makes you feel as if this couple, who were really quite ordinary but lived in a time when what we see as such today would have been extraordinary . . . or illegal, are right in the room with you, telling you their story.

A faster 'Verse
Be a bounty hunter, a smuggler, or somewhere in between. It's all about getting the right ship and crew for the right job. With chatacters from the comics, clone wars cartoon, and movies you are bound to find one you like.
It's fairly rules light and easy to understand.
I have played this four times now and have played differently each time based on conditions i encountered.
