Dean (6926 KP) rated You've Got Mail (1998) in Movies
Jun 15, 2020 (Updated Jun 15, 2020)
A very good Rom-com re-uniting Tom & Meg again. They have done a few films together now including the similar Sleepless in Seattle. They have a great chemistry together on screen. This is well written and directed and quite funny too, without being too mushy. A kind of will they, won't feel to it, funny to see this was made when online chatrooms were just becoming quite popular. Worth seeing even if you avoid Rom-coms like your in-laws!

Well another series comes to an end, filled with great episodes. Plenty of action and intriguing storylines. The final 2 episodes were good but I've just seen this is the final series! A real shame if it doesn't come back. Being a regular watcher since the first episode 10 years ago. It's been regular viewing for me since the start. If you never watched this show, start from the beginning. You'll be glad you did.

Character development
I enjoyed this as a Tess Gerritsen book. It was very different to the others I have read by her. Instead of being a detective book it was a good change.
The story still flows well and the characters come to life through the story.
My only issue was, as always in her books she is maybe a little too over descriptive.
But she still remains one of my favourite authors #tessgerritsen #theshapeofnight #captainbrodie #ghoststory

David McK (3425 KP) rated Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) in Movies

"...and why should they listen to you?" / "Because, unlike certain other Robins, I can speak with an English accent!"
Mel Brooks 1993 spoof, that takes aim primarily at the Kevin Costner 1991 'Prince of Thieves' version, with bits of the classic 1938 film thrown in as well as the Disney animated version.
Not as funny as I remember it being, unfortunately, with some questionable acting and the 4th wall breaking bits not really adding anything to the mix.
YMMV, of course!

David McK (3425 KP) rated Simulating War: Studying conflict through simulation games in Books

Well, that was something ... different.
This, essentially, is a scholarly thesis on the use of wargaming in an educational setting - like another reader, I found the first part (about the theory) interesting, the second part - containing example games - less so (perhaps because of my lack of real interest in anything beyond WW1 in the air).
Like being forced to study Shakespeare in school, I found this to somewhat suck the fun out of the activity in question.
Still, YMMV, as the saying goes ...
