8. The Silence of The Unicorn by Steve White, 2024
Wonderful and charming book, in the vein if Tintin.
Tara Togs gets mixed up with some art thieves and forgers.
Manages to capture the mini cliffhanger at the end of each pages that early tintin had.
Books 2 is coming soon!

7. Dune House Corrino, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson, 2001.
The final book in the House trilogy and Paul, Channel and Irulan appear on the scene, it ending about 15yrs prior to DUNE.
Better than the 2nd but its still about moving peices around to get ready for DUNE.

11. Godzilla'd Revenge (aka All Monsters Attack) 1969
English dub of this film. A child imagines himself being on Monster Island and have adventures with Godzilla's son, who can now talk!
Lots of reused footage from previous films points to this being a cheap film
Silly fun!

NFL Superbowl
Seahawks Vs Patriots.
Pulling for Vrabel's team.
Great match if you are a fan of defense, boring for everyone else. .
Maybe coming 2nd in MVP votes really hurt him as he can't get anything going, he fumbles and throws an INT, and sacked too many times.
Wasn't keen on the commentators

6. Recovery Agent by Janet Evanovich, 2022
First in a series about a Revovery Agent who with her exhusband is on the hunt for a ring that could have religious significance.
More brutal + less humourous than Evanvich's other series (Stephanie Plum)
Good fun start to a new series.

Judge Dredd is a character that's never been rebooted so there's 49yrs worth of cannon stories.
Trying to think of any continuously published/produced character(comic/book/tv/film) that can claim the same. Possible Dr Who, but he went on hiatus for 6yrs, then 8yrs.

7. Jaws III (1983)
This time the shark attacks a theme park. Shot for a re-emerging 3D market so scenes of objects pop out. It also means lots of slow moving 3d action. Showing the shark in full as it's in 3d just makes it look even faker!
