Unorthodox Problem Solving
Weird use of teeth
Representation and a caste system that is broken. Crows are at the bottom but without them the world would die of disease.
Characters are represented subtlety and you almost miss it. It is woven so seamlessly into the plot.

The Princess Bride meets Six of Crows and together they burn the world down.

If you enjoy the As You Wish of Princess Bride than this needs to be on the top of your list.

Puzzles aren't super challenging
I really enjoyed this game, though it wasn't especially challenging. The atmosphere is super creepy, however I scare easily so other people might not find it spooky enough.

I loved how things n the environment would change randomly, which unnerved me even more. I thought the storyline was really intriguing, and enjoyed piecing it together bit by bit. The game had PT vibes.

Movie Rating
An ok 3rd installment, although straight to DVD release. Lower budget but the production is pretty good. It's just not as creepy as the first two films. The boy that appears at times was weird in the first two, in this it looks like an older actor was used. The same goes for Kayako, in the first two she was very strange and creepy, in this she just looks very white? For those who really liked the first two films.

Should have locked its self up
This movie had a lot of potential but from the start you can tell that they didn't really know where they were going with it the acting was pretty bad the plot while there just never really took off and near the end it's kind of like they didn't know what they were doing and just slapped a bunch of stuff together and then Tada it was over, very weird pacing overall definitely let down.

Ok, so I saw a recommendation online for a movie on Netflix called "Teeth". I looked it up and watched it. It's a dark-comedy/horror film. This one was weird. Do NOT watch it with kids as it has a lot of sexual content and some pretty gross scenes. It was made well enough. The acting was a bit, meh, but not too bad. The story had some, well, sick twists... anyway, worth a watch if you're into horror films.

what a book - that was an interesting concept and honestly I kind of thought by the name they were robots - pleasant surprise though this was a very well written book theres just a few issues for me but nothing I couldn't really look past and enjoy the book. I really thought that it was going a whole different direction up until the last bit though honestly what's a weird society like that without some trouble - I am excited for book 2

2018 | Action, Comedy
This Netflix original action comedy stars the comedic trio from "Workaholics". The cinematography was good. The acting and storyline was pretty much what you'd expect from this group. There is some sexual and drug use content and a few gross violence scenes so this one really isn't for kids. If you're into "weird and goofy" comedies you'll enjoy this one. There are quite a few familiar comedic faces, as well. I'd say it's worth a watch if you're REALLY bored.

Another incredible animation
Another great animation film from Pixar. It's weird to think that the original was made 14 years ago! It's one of my favourite animated films. So with high expectations it's great to say this is almost equal to the original. The animation is great, tons of new characters as well as the old cast. With an up to date story as well... maybe not quite as funny as the first. Still an excellent film for everyone to enjoy.

Childhood revisited
Glen A Larson cashing in on the Star Wars explosion with this TV spin off. The A Team's Dirk Benedict and Lorne Greene from Bonanza were the 2 main stars until Richard Hatch as Apollo took over and became the main man. Still think the space ships were better than the X Wings from Star Wars, but never really loved it unlike Star Wars.
