Diary of Derek Moriarty
~May14, 1927

In the Dreamlands.

Head toward valley. I subconsciously pat the dream dagger. We have a choice. To the left there is a goat path where we must cross a crevasse; to the right we could take a wide path through the desert. In the middle, a battle of hundreds rages between Dwaves and Humans.

Cloudy Amber, not much head,

Mild malt scent.

Spreads out and coats the tongue like it’s dancing with more bubbles than you'd expect leaving a slightly sour aftertaste.

Reminds me of sour cream glazed donuts.

Light weight, smooth, mild bubbles that dance across the tongue leaving sour notes.

More than half the period was gone before the Flyers achieved a shot on goal. 14 minutes in they had a 3 on 2 against a collapsing Mete and Weber, performed a nice play and missed the net. The period end 0-0 and despite the lack of SOGs by Philly, it's a tight free-flowing game with only ten faceoffs so far with both teams playing well...

IMDB | Trailer

The Forest is a well paced tense ride with appropriate jump-scares but fails in the end by not following the verisimilitude it built up.

The cast was excellent and the production values felt solid. Even the concept had a lot of potential and again, the constant tension was near perfect as this film keeps you glued.

Press are still yacking about MacKinnon's temper tantrum. Ex-Hab Mark Barberio is in the lineup for the Avs.

Below is the lineup with my rating for each player in the game. This is not a direct reflection of their skill level but how they impacted this specific game. It's rated from 1-10. It does not take into account intangibles like how they lead off the ice.
