Al Gore recommended The Big Short (2015) in Movies (curated)

 
The Big Short (2015)
The Big Short (2015)
2015 | Drama

"Choice number three may or may not surprise you, but I absolutely loved, loved, loved Hidden Figures. If I were a young African-American woman, I would ask the question: Why did I not know about this story before now? And even as a 69-year-old white male, I want to know why I didn’t know about that story. It’s so inspiring. It’s almost like a fact-checked Frank Capra movie for the 21st century, and really, really, really got me psyched up about it."

I enjoyed Transformers: The Last Knight, but I am also glad I used a free ticket to go see it rather than spend money on a ticket. The entertainment that I expected to receive from the movie, I got. At the end of the day, that’s the least I can ask for

When I was first obligated to read this novel, I absolutely hated it. I couldn't understand why it was one of my mother's favorite books. I have nightmares about being questioned numerous times about the symbolism of red in the beginning still. When I had to re-read it for a British novel seminar while studying abroad in a gothic manor, I totally dug it. Jane Eyre is strong, and independent.

Unique fun game
I was recommended this game by many people before I finally gave it a chance. it was described to me as soccer with cars and I would say that is pretty accurate but its more than that too. It's so fun and a very unique concept. I played it for the first time and I was hooked. I know now why it is so highly recommended.

I loved this book, when I first started it I thought the characters sounded familiar and then realized I read book one a couple of months ago so this was an easy and compelling read. I liked the characters, Erin just goes and grabs what she wants and that includes Jack. It makes a change for the woman to do all the instigating and I found it refreshing.

This was really interesting. I have been challenging myself to read things that I normally wouldn't. This picture book was hilarious. I found the mime pictures to be creative and entertaining. It was something very unique. I am glad that this was a book I picked up and flow through. I do wish that the pictures were larger. They were a little hard to read/see/enjoy on my Nook.

Awful!
All I can say is this just seemed like a rubbish remake of jaws! I found the whole film extremely boring.
As Jason Statham was in the film, i thought it may be quite good as i rate him as a good actor. I was thoroughly disappointed! All I saw was an over sized shark swimming in water and occasionally attacking.
Seriously, don't waste your time!

I couldn't get into this book at all... Having read the ToG series up until Tower of Dawn i thought I would read this while I waited for Kingdom of Ash to be released. I just found it a bit boring and slow and did not like Celena in this book at all! Such a disappointment since I loved all the other books in the series and even her other series!

Brilliant read
I could not put this book down, it's a very touching and heartwarming story.
It pulled me in all sorts of emotions, it was as if I was right there with them.


I must admit I didn't believe it could possibly be a true story until I looked more into it.
The things that were seen and written about is absolutely heartbreaking.

I can not recommend this book enough.
  
This was such a yummy collection of recipes!!
 Though I haven't tried all of them, my family and I have enjoyed several of the recipes immensely. They are quick and easy to make before I go to work or before I go to bed in the evenings. I truly enjoy these recipes and have bought a copy of this book for myself :) I highly recommend this cook book.
