Elizabeth (1521 KP) rated Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood in Books
Apr 24, 2019
I wanted to be able to give it more stars, but the narrative jumped back and forth through time a bit too much for me. Because of this, there was some repetition that disrupted my focus and took away from the narrative. I love Trevor Noah and enjoyed hearing his stories from his childhood. I just wish the book had been better organized.

Interesting plot
Great movie
This movie is somewhat from my childhood, so there is a little nostalgia that goes with it. I always liked the movie and it has stood the test of time and multiple views. I'm not saying it is one of the best movies ever, but it is definitely a good movie.

On my top list
Hocus pocus is one of them films I grew up with, from my childhood, watching on repeat. Watching it now years later I still would put this high up there with my favourite films. Yes it's cheesy, yes at points the acting can be slightly poor. But it makes me laugh, makes me smile and I love it.

Right in the childhood
These were my life as a kid, thought I'd do a reread and they were just as amazing. Yes compared to most books they are quite simply written but the characters, the lore, clans, EVERYTHING about them are just exciting and thought through. You can't just read one you need them all.
Irene M (130 KP) rated Gulnare of the Sea (Arabian Nights Adventures, #3) in Books
Dec 7, 2018
From The Arabian Nights the story of Gulnare of the Sea is full of magical twists and turns, by land and by sea.
While this book may be designed for ages 7-11 it is a great story for most older ages too. I loved revisiting a story I'd read in my own childhood, and will look out for others in the series.

Kimmic (814 KP) rated Dumbo (2019) in Movies

Disney is dead set on remaking some amazing classics from my childhood. Some haven't been too bad, others are just poor imitations.
This started as an imitation and then went off on a huge tangent into another story.
Don't call it dumbo if it isn't dumbo....
Ps. I am a huge Disney fan so it pains me to give a bad review!
