Amazing!

Couldn't be more engrossed every time I watch this film!! I grew up watching this with my sister's and it's the right amount of comedy witchy romantic horror.

Story about two girls that loose there father to a curse and there mother from heart break, they move in with there aunts who are witches like them they grow up learning spells and then part ways one goes off to explore the world one stays home, they both fall in love one has two witchy girls and the other..........turns out she loved a psychopath working together the two sisters 'get rid of him' with the police investigating them and the ex boyfriend coming back to haunt them this witchy comedy soon turns to a darker setting and it's a race in time to get rid once again.

Incredible film if you have not watched the two brilliant actresses sandra bullock and Nicole Kidman together in this film, you need to!

When Tim, an COE for an AI company,idea his wife he starts a controversial project - he creates a robot of his wife. Abbie-bot has all the memories and feelings that Abbie had, but she can tell that something isn't right with Abbie's disappearance.

This book had me from the go! After two pages I could tell it was going to be a "Black Mirror" sort of thing. And I'm going to be honest, Black Mirror freaked me out. This book however was amazing! So many twists and turns. A real psychological ride! The character development of robot Abbie was brilliant. I loved going through her thoughts with her. The aspects of this novel are well researched, coding and autism. I cannot fault it. The ending took my breath away, three times in fact. Just as I was getting over the first "no way!" moment I was hit with another and then another. This is definitely going on my to read pile to read again!

I loved it!

Me and my fiancé have been tackling this one for years we started watching two years ago but stopped, he isn't a t.v kinda guys and every movie is a struggle for him not to fall asleep! But we have finally got back round to it and got two episodes left!! I love superpowers and all that, just a little something to get lost in, A fantasy world where people can fly and heal and do all kinds of crazy things. This series is that and a whole lot more with evil villains the main one being sylar who is in it throughout, he's story becomes very repetitive but it is still good to watch, plenty of action given from the government with twists and turns around every corner, it's yet again a fight to survive. Brilliant series! If you have not yet seen it, it's definitely one to invest in.

the_mad_meeple (55 KP) rated Orchard: A 9 Card Solitaire Game in Tabletop Games

Feb 25, 2020 (Updated Feb 25, 2020)

Great price (2 more)

Solo play

Pocket sized - great for when on the go.

Possibly difficult to get hold of a copy while kickstarter orders are fulfilled. (0 more)

This is one of my freshly backed kickstarters and I am delighted with it. The simple concept of placing cards and growing apples is brilliant.
While it is possible to play mulitplayer rules, Orchard is played solo with players dividing the deck in to two sets of 9 (each game uses 9 cards). Starting with one card on the table the player draws two cards and chooses one to play, matching the colours on previously laid card. An ingenius mechanic, the choice of where to play your card in order to gain the most points, is challenging and frustrating in equal measure.
Pocket sized and playable in 10 minutes, this is an excellent solo game for anyone in the go. Can't recommend it highly enough at its low cost price.
