Fantastic all star cast
Terrific choreography
I can't believe how much I loved this movie. Hugh Jackman just keeps getting better and better in movies. The original score and beautiful choreography, mixed with a very talented cast make this movie an all star hit. It is now in my top 10 movies of all time, truly great for any age from 9 to 90. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Sam Spade is a PI, and when his partner is murdered, he starts to look at the case. Was it the case they'd just taken on for a beautiful client? Yes, it's a giant of the genre, but I found it slow, especially at the end. Maybe that's just how things have changed over the years.

Presley Parker's latest party is a wine tasting in the beautiful Napa Valley. But murder follows her when a despised environmental crusader is found murdered after the party. Convinced the cops have the wrong killer, she starts investigating. I find these books fun. The plot was a bit uneven, but overall an enjoyable read.

I was experimenting with listening to audio books during my commute when I "read" this book. While the format was a little disorienting for me, I absolutely loved the story, enough so that at some point I'd really like to go back and read it "for real."


I will say that Gaiman is a beautiful reader, and I'm glad I listened to the story purely from the perspective of getting to hear him read his own work.

Awesome
I absolutely loved this book. I found the characters fascinating, complex and believable. I genuinely couldn't predict which way the story was going to go and I love the fact that it was set in a kind of steampunk Victorian England setting. I especially enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of Mori's clockwork. I get that this probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, I think it's a 'love it or hate it' kind of novel but I definitely loved it.

This is a beautiful and relaxing game. You walk around an open world, which is bright and calming and full of trees and flowers. Within the world there are many maze-like puzzles, which you solve to open new parts of the world. Play is very simple and intuitive, but it takes a long time to get bored of this game. It's really satisfying to solve the puzzles, and gameplay is very relaxing and meditative.

Beautiful
Wow. I went into this movie with very low expectations. I had absolutely no idea what to think of it. I came out of this movie and I was so incredibly happy. I think I teared up several times while I watched the movie. It was very well done. The cinematography was gorgeous and I really loved the story. I would highly recommend to go see this film in the theater. It is so worth it.

A complicated look at grief and change
This movie... Is hard to talk about. Not because it is poorly done, but because you feel so conflicted after you watch it. I was pretty disinterested in the beginning of this film, but once I reached the end of the film, I cried. The film feels a little disjointed and slow, but if you can get into it, it is a beautiful exploration of grief, love and change.
