Republic of Thieves - Scott Lynch Round about 2006-ish there started a groundswell of praise for a new author and a fantasy book that everyone was raving about. Lies of Locke Lamora was released in 2007 to instant praise. The first in a proposed 7 book series following the life of Locke Lamora and ...

Oh, definitely on my must-read list! Did you read Joe Hill's Heart Shaped Box? That book had a creepiness factor to rival anything written by his father! It was a good first novel, but i think he is getting better. His graphic novel series Locke & Key is great and he has written what is probabl...

NOS4A2 - Joe Hill The book title is the registration number of a vintage Rolls Royce driven by one of the creepiest villians in a novel for a while. Charles Manx is a man of indeterminate age who for decades has been abducting children and taking them to Christmasland, a world of permentant joy and...

I love Bioshock.

Between playing Batman: Arkham Asylum (which reminded me a lot of Bioshock) and reading this thread i'm toying with replaying it.

Oh I forgot because it's not really a gaming console, but I'm currently playing Myst on the Ipod Touch.

I have most if not all of the consoles. DS - Probably gets the most mobile play. Lots of good adventure stuff...and it runs ScummVM. PSP - Sits in a drawer never getting used as it's pants. Xbox 360 - Currently playing Fallout 3 on it. PS3 - My console of choice at the moment. Resident Evil 5 at the...

Watchmen Ok, this one has a huge heritage to live up to. Seen by many as the greatest Graphic Novel ever written, it has a huge following and is seen as unfilmable by the author. Would it be safe in the hands of the director of "300" Could it live up to the hype.......of course it can't n...

Punisher :War Zone 3rd time lucky for Punisher? I'm in a minority that I actually like the Thomas Jane version that came out in 2004. This one though was dreadful. Ray Stevenson plays the armed vigilante who's family is murdered and he goes on a one man war against the mob. This is so gruesomly vio...

Gran Torino A movie in which Clint Eastwood stars as well as directs. Here he plays an old racist grouchy bastard, a vetren of the Korean war, who recently lost his wife. He rails at the whole world, his family and especially the new Asian neigbours. The neighbourhood that he grew up in is now pred...

Push A cross between "Heroes" and "Jumper" this low budget action flick stars Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning. There are people in the world with powers - "Movers" can move things with their mind, "Watchers" can tell the future, "Sniffers" can track ...

Alright Lucien21, I have to ask. In Valkyrie, what did you think about our Dutch prides Carice van Houten and Halina Reijn? Can't say I placed there names as being in the movie, but I googled them and they were ok. The Acting wasn't really the problem in Valkyrie, it was more the script. In related...

Valkyrie Germany, 1943. The 14th attempt to assassinate Hitler — by his own side — has just gone wrong. The conspirators need a new plan. Enter crippled Wehrmacht hero Claus von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise), with a bold plot to blow up Hitler in his Wolf’s Lair. I couldn't really go wrong could it. To...

Yes Man Carl Allen (Jim Carey) is a serial life-dodger. Hung up on his divorce, he’s a total downer to be around. Then one TV dinner too many drives Allen to the seminar of a self-affirmation guru (Terence Stamp), where he commits to say “Yes” to all opportunities offered. Based on a best selling b...

Role Models Just dumped by his girlfriend, salesman Danny (Paul Rudd), with his colleague Wheeler (Sean William Scott), trashes his work truck. The pair face a choice: jail, or community service mentoring two kids. I so thought that this was gonna suck. The plot is very predictable..two friends one...
