An excellent book to read if you are in your 20’s or want to go back to that inner wisdom you felt when you were figuring out life. Beautifully written with engaging images. You can read this book in a couple hours but will most likely find yourself rereading passages for year to come.

This book is full of poems of ideas that you have most likely thought or heard throughout your life. It’s nothing profound but it’s nice to be able to flip through and have these tumbleresque moments in one place.

A great book to put in the bathroom or on a coffee table with other magazines.

What a twist!
Oh my. Been waiting to watch this after watching the trailer a couple of months ago and just watched it today on Netflix on it’s debuting day.

I won’t write too much on the storyline as I do not want to giveaway any spoilers to the amazing twist that lies within and will just advise you to watch it.

If you love sci-fi, you’ll love this film.

If you love thrilling, edge of seat stuff, you’ll love this film.

If you love twists in films, you’ll absolutely adore this film!

Another hit MI film
I really enjoyed the last MI film Rogue Nation and thought that was a very high standard to beat. I would say this is nearly as good almost level with that film. It is a long film but the huge action scenes, chases, stunts and fights make the film fly by. The car and bike chases in Paris are epic! Good to see it follow on from the last film. There are only a couple of minor issues with predictable plot elements. Otherwise this is a fantastic action film, a true blockbuster.

Book Rating
Another major new talent to emerge in the last few years. The narrative begins with a dinner party, a couple leave their child to go next door, taking the baby monitor and checking in every half hour. Not enough to prevent a nightmare unravelling. This is a psychological thriller that pulls you into the worst possible situation and drags you through a multitude of twists and turns. The tag line, ‘People are capable of almost anything’ really doesn’t prepare you for the shocking revelations within the pages. It leads you to question how well you know those around you and how much stress it takes to push people to the edge.

The Harrowing is a great Ghost Story, very gripping and entertaining. The beginning was great and the ending was even better, at one point I was holding my breath and I just couldn't put the book down. I was so close to giving this book 5 stars but I was disappointed with some of the filler and unfortunately at times I did lose interest...however this only happened a couple of times. Overall, this was a great book with very likable characters in which I sometimes felt connected to so a very good emotional ride of a story. I highly recommend this book to fans of gripping ghost stories.

A year later still going
I've had this game for a couple of years. Love designing my garden and the different challenges you can join. The levels are sometimes really difficult and others super easy.
I will fade in and out of playing it a lot of the time, but will always return to it.

The flower challenge can be annoying as you have to use your unlimited time when you get it and I end up wasting half of it due to life getting in the way. Damn being an adult.

A Christmas film to miss
If you are looking for a GOOD feel good Christmas movie, give this a miss. I struggled to watch this to the end, and I am a self confessed Christmas movie junkie.
The acting is poor, stilled and stunted. The story line is sickeningly bad and very unbelievable. The only semi good thing was the beautiful house, scenery and town.
There are a couple of familiar faces (one being the female doc from Stargate) but even that didn't make the film watchable.
Life is short, we all want to sit down and watch a good Christmas movie, this not the one you want.

This raucous comedy focuses on the Gemstone family,a bunch of TV evangelical preachers lead by head preacher Eli Gemstone.

The main story focuses on eldest son Jesse is blackmailed by a couple of thugs who have a vidro of him and other members of the church taking drugs with prostitutes when on a church related trip to atlanta.As things get more complicated the rest of the family are dragged into it and much hilarity ensues.

I was never really a big fan of Danny McBride (who created the show also) but in this he is brilliant as the arrogant son Jesse,as is john goodman as his dad.

Finding its feet, worth a watch
I remember loving Buffy when I watched it on TV, I was 15ish then. I recently rewatched this, I still liked it, although it does have its flaws. The characters can be annoying but this is balanced with a really good idea. Joss Whedon has created a fantastic world, it truly is amazing. This is the first season, having already watched the others I already know that it just keeps getting better and the characters less annoying. If you are new to Buffy, keep watching, the series develops a depth but it takes a couple of seasons.

You can take me at my word as I've not been kidnapped by Pat Healy and forced to say this, I'm writing this under my own free will, that Take Me is highly entertaining and is a fun ride of a movie. I'm talking a tied up in the back of a van with no seatbelt or stuffed in a trunk and taken up a mountain road kind of fun ride. Pat Healy is one of the best actors out there right now in my opinion, and I highly suggest you let him take you for a couple of hours with his feature directorial debut Take Me.
