Entertainment > Television (Other) Has the TV show "Lost" lost its direction?: 3 of 7
The story of doomed flight Oceanic 815 initially started out as an intriguing story; the survivors of the crash were stranded on a mysterious island with no apparent means of escape or help on the way.

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Funny Games (2008): 3 of 7
The title 'Funny Games' has little to do with good-times and humour. Michael Haneke's re-make is a virtual copy of his very own 1997 original 'Funny games' - this time the location is 'The Hamptons' in New York State in America (as opposed to the Austrian locale previous). Starting out as a happy family on a trip to their ho... More..

In a world that seems to be consumed with the acquisition of wealth, some children are seen by their own parents as nothing more than a commodity - to invest in them and see a return by the time they've left university.

Hobbies & Games > Board Games How to win at Monopoly: 17 of 38
Monopoly is a fun game based on property trading, the ultimate aim is to own or monopolize everything on the board.
