Great special effects

Great take on the iconic Disney villain

This was a fun movie. A great take on the sleeping beauty with good twists.

They manage to give this iconic Disney villain many different layers and was played brilliantly by Angelina Jolie. The story was great and I enjoyed seeing the backstory of Maleficent. It gives so much weight to the sleeping beauty story we all know and you have more understanding and sympathy for the villain.

All parts of the cast were great and the CGi/special effects were great. It had to be since this movie is practically all special effects. The music was great and this is by far 1 of my favourite live action adaptations of a Disney movie so far.

Fun fact: Angelina Jolies daughter played the 3 yr old aurora because she was the only child that wasn't scared of Jolie in her full makeup for maleficent. All the other children they bought in cried. Xx

Alicia S (193 KP) rated Murder Girl (Lilah Love #2) in Books

Sep 28, 2018

Loving this series so far and can't wait to see where we end up next!

Second book in this series and I can't say enough how thrilled I am that we'll be in for more of Lilah Love! Her tough attitude and fierce independence make her one bad a$$ FBI Profiler and a character that I can't help but love and admire. This story is a perfect blend of suspense, action, and romance and Kane's patience and understanding of Lilah and her habits is heartwarming. As dark as his life and experiences may be, he goes out of his way to create a safe place for her, even when she feels like there is no else she can fully trust. Loving this series so far and can't wait to see where we end up next!

A lot of shit on there

Good waste of time

Facebook is a part of life these days, I've been on there for about 10 years and checking Facebook has become a must multiple times a day for me (more habit than anything else).

However it is such a waste of time. There are far too many ads and rubbish posted.

The powers that be on there are either overzealous or disinterested.

It's also a great way of making yourself miserable by comparing your life to others (which is often massaged to look better than reality)

I don't think I could leave Facebook but sometimes I kinda wish I'd not joined in the first place.

White Women by Chromeo

Album Favorite

"As obtuse as this whole list may be, what drew me to Chromeo was their name. Being a hot-rod head and a car fanatic, I loved the name. It could have been a terrible record and I would have loved it, because you ain't got nothing unless you got a lot of chrome.   My taste doesn't run too far into dance or disco but in the grand scheme of things, and for those who are attempting to perceive what ZZ Top is, it's good on occasion to find an unexpected surprise. On occasion we'd be lumped in with southern rock bands, but we're really not – it's Texas. Which is quite a bit different. Texas is down south, but it's certainly a far cry from South Carolina or Alabama or Georgia."

deeper strategy than anticipated

Theme doesn't really fit.... maybe it should be the English? (0 more)

Better than it should be considering you don't plunder pillage anything.

I really enjoyed my play of this one, we took it home and played it about 3 more times that night. It really is a fast economic based game. but the puzzle of the market bidding is fun. and trying to anticipate others moves is also fun. So far we have only played the basic rules, and not made our way to the advanced ones yet. But I'm glad I've added this to our collection.

All that said: don't expect to do viking things, there is no killing and pillaging, and raiding... your warriors defend, and don't attack... seems like a miss as far as theme goes.
