Cast, original story and genuinely funny and moving. Excellent acting. (0 more)
Class comedy drama
What could be a boring story regarding a womans life after her husbands death gets spun on its head. Christina Applegate and the rest of the cast put their acting capabilities to the full with this biting story about grieving, loss and redemption.
The twists come thick and fast without being contrived. Give it ago it feels fresh for such a well treaded subject.

Well designed but I just didn't get into it.
I love the look and the feel of this game. I completely admire the way they keep people hooked and and playing. It is interesting that with it being a Warcraft/Blizzard game that I am not fanboy all over it but... I just don't dig it.

The card game style has just never grabbed me. Give it a shot and see if you like for me it doesn't work.

Another take on sleep paralysis. It was ok. The acting and cinematography weren't bad. The story played out well enough. Had some creep factor at times. Mostly though, this movie was kinda predictable. I've seen other sleep paralysis creature features. This one was not the best. The characters were kind of dull and the monster was just a very skinny "old looking' woman. That being said, it's entertaining enough for a movie night. Kinda worth a watch.

Well I finally saw it. It was surprisingly good. I enjoyed it better than its two predecessors. The only problem I had with it was that it tried to put too much into this one film. They could've spread the story out more through the trilogy and made them all much better. That being said, this is a must watch for any Star Wars fans. A good end to a long run. Worth a watch.

Movie Favorite

"A society on the brink of defiance and revolution, and a generation that’s sick and tired of being sick and tired. In some years and some countries, they riot. In 1990 America, they talk it out. Easily one of the most influential American films of the last twenty-five years, Richard Linklater’s exploration of bored youth is mesmerizing. This film would help its titular term become a phenomenon, as well as put Austin, Texas, on the cultural map."

Good Gangster Film
Far from being in the same league as Goodfellas, Casino. However this is an enjoyable British film showing the rise and fall of an East London gangster getting involved in the drug scene in Spain. Set in the 80's with the typical fashion of the time but with a great soundtrack to boot. Quite violent, brutal and with a lot of swearing as well but an interesting story all the same.

Fox/Hulu spin-off from, in particular, Alien and Aliens, set before the events of Alien and following a group of trillion-dollar test subject 'hybrids' (children in synthetic bodies) as they - initially - investigate a crash spaceship that is transporting off-world lifeforms.

Things, of course, go sideways.

Some episodes of this are better than others, with the episode on board the spacecraft, pre crash, perhaps being the best Alien movie since, well, Aliens itself!
