This book was a really enjoyable read. There are a lot of references to 80s pop culture and need culture, which I'm not a big fan of, but I still really enjoyed reading. My major complaint is a major spoiler. The premise is that everyone is competing to inherit a virtual reality universe essentially. Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but for a video game. There are a few main characters, and the main female is faster and smarter than the male who ends up winning, which I found frustrating. The book could have ended better if the female lead won, in my opinion. The ending was still good though.

Corny but fun!
The self proclaimed "franchise Viagra" is at it again in the film adaptation of the classic 80s video game where you get play as a giant monster out to destroy a city.

As long as you accept the corny premise and go along for the ride, the film is pretty harmless. Kind of felt like I was watching The Mummy with Brendan Fraser, but that's not a critique.

Some of the acting and dialogue was almost enough for me to turn down the volume completely and just watch the pretty pictures flashing across the screen, but I was never bored while watching.

Overall, an entertaining romp.

Latest - at the time of reviewing - Ryan Reynolds starrer, in which he discovers he is actually a NOC (non Player character, for the uninitiated) inside a video game, that bears more than a passing resemblance to that of GTA online (or so I'm told).

Set in both his, and the 'real' world (to which he cannot cross over), I felt that had quite a bit in common with the likes of 'The Truman Show', 'The Matrix', 'Ready Player One', maybe even a bit of 'Pixels' thrown in, but is none the less quite enjoyable, with Taika Waititi stealing the show (and with Guy's best mate cop running a close second)
