Yet another buddy cop movie, but this time instead of <random race> it is an Orc, and instead of </random><random drugs> it’s magic.
An adequate movie.

An unlikely little hero is swept into an travel-adventure through dangerous lands to recapture the lost treasures of a fallen Dwarvish kingdom.
Considered a classic fantasy book, it’s definitely a children’s book from it’s narrative tone. It’s slow and awkward in a lot of places, and takes too long to pick up into anything interesting for me. Perhaps it’s because I had read it long ago, and perhaps it’s because of the staggering quality of its associated movies, but I didn’t like it.
Definitely not recommended as an entry into fantasy fiction, in spite of its popularity. Veterans of the genre may as well read this just to say they have.

The United States Navy discovers a crashed craft, and includes a cross-disciplinary team in its investigation.
I liked it, though I found it rather simple. I had already seen the movie that was inspired by this book, which I really liked, and that likely coloured my views.

Hundreds of years from now, surviving humans discover how to send consciousness back through time, into people of the 21st century, while attempting to change the path of humanity.
Kinda not bad.

Its first impression is that it’s sort of Star Trek parody-thing, it quickly unfolds into its own unique space-adventure-drama.
Fantastic originality and mood. Recommended, rapidly approaching highly recommended.
Verdict: While it’s good, it’s not great, at least not for me. I got bored in the first couple of episodes of season two. Definitely recommended for anyone who enjoyed the first several episodes.
Like other shows these days, I became interested in this purely because “those people” “hate” it.

An man works to undermine his brother’s happiness by meddling with his son’s marriage. Also two smart people dual with words.
A pretty good book, though my reading of the Signet Classic was seriously interrupted by footnotes. Not because of the shifting up/down to read them, but because the footnotes are crammed all together. Given that this book is 1/4 commentary, axing one for clearer footnotes would have been amazing. Maybe another edition will be better. I intend to collect many of this particular play.

I highly recommend Much Ado About Nothing – (1993 movie), even for those who have no interest in this book.

As part of a delaying tactic for an internal power struggle at the Central Intelligence Agency, an everyman is pointed out as a pawn to be followed as a delaying tactic.
A fantastic, classic, movie. It’s simple and with a light tone. I don’t think it’s particularly recommendable now, but I still like it.
