The All New Book & DVD Review Thread (And Gift Hints)

[Barman]

Keeping on the on the sci-vi theme, I watched Outlander last night. Basically take Beowulf and cross it with Alien. Kaiinan crash lands in 750AD Norway and discovers he wasnt the only survivor of the crash. Initially blamed for the slaughter of a neighboring village he soon proves his worth to the king and helps the Viking settlement defend itself against the creature.

Its...different but certainly a better reworking of the Beowulf legend than the godawful Christopher Lambert post apocalyptic version a few years back.

He's mouth is open and I can see him speaking but 

I can do a Miss D version with smaller words if that helps... 





Now if everyone will excuse me I'm going to find somewhere safe to hide while Miss D sharpens her axe.... 

You are talking gobbledegook man!

Post apocalyptic? Makes perfect sense, just think Villa Balda after BM has been decorating.

But I guess in comic shop world there is no room for reality

[Grumpmeister]

Does anyone who frequents here have room for reality?

"Dont mess with the Zohan"

American Adam Sandler comedy.

Mrs TG liked it. 

GM Stylee review : Loads of (off camera) shagging.

"The boy in the striped pyjamas"

Highly recommended. 'nuff said.

[Bar Wench]

I read "the boy in the stripped pyjamas" recently. Short kids book but stunning.

Not read the book. But I recommend the film. Beautifully acted and directed with restraint that lets the actors tell the story with real emotion.

Its quite a shocking moment when the boy begins to dig underneath the fence to help the other boy look for his father and everything clicks into place and you suddenly KNOW how its going to end.
