Starwars prequel
I really loved this movie as far as starwars goes .it s beautiful futureistic settings.strong characters who arnt made for just verry young kids .its verry teen to adult storyline.lots of action beliveable and even the smartmouth empire robot is funny yet not too over powering.ive watched this movie 3 times and could watch again.id have ranked it ahead of the first two made starwars movies but they were the first two and still hold a huge place in my heart...well worth the watch.

When I listened to this album I could imagine being at the concert immersed totally in mind bending mayhem. yeah bring it on Lizard King. Thinking bout what it must've been like back in that audience surrounded by chaos n disorder is what it's all about. Why oh why was I born too late and in the wrong country , doh. I love everything about the peace and loving 60's. I should of been there it's where I belonged.

The concept behind the story (1 more)
The descriptive elements of the landscape
Interesting and believable concept
Although I'm not a big fan of science-fiction, I thought I would give this a try on a friends recommendation. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the plot, though I found the main character a bit hard to like. I loved the descriptive elements of the book, particularly when describing Edinburgh, one of my favourite cities. With today's global warming fears, this vision of the apocalypse, isn't too far-fetched!

The best (and one of the original) takes on a dystopian future
Orwell's take on the dystopian future is by far one of the best I've ever read. Yes it's bleak and depressing, but this just reflects the future it's telling. Winston is an appealing yet flawed main character, but you still find yourself rooting for him. The story drags a little during the middle, but the ending more than makes up for this. The worrying thing is you can almost imagine our future ending up like this, even if Orwell got the year wrong!

Good introduction to the power of institutions
Owen Jones' essay is essentially an introduction to a vast subject that can actually be broken down in to separate books in itself. It is a hugely fascinating, disturbing and grotesque look into how power is welded by the few.
However I feel that he spread himself a little too thin, as Martin Williams wrote a similar novel in Parliament Ltd focusing on parliamentary expenses that was far more detailed and less narrative. This would have been five stars if it had been separated.

Not one of Disney's best
Don't get me wrong, it's rare for a Disney film to be bad and this is far from it. It just sadly isn't one of the best. It's visually beautiful and you'd expect no less, but I found the main story a little boring and to be honest it's been done before. The songs are good but not spectacular, and I didn't find much to laugh about in the entire film, which is unusual for Disney. On the whole it's just a little underwhelming.
MyBookObsession (29 KP) rated Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) in Movies
Sep 6, 2017
This feel was recommended to me in film studies and so, one night I sat in front of the tale and watched it. I forced myself to finish the film and I thought due to being a film student it wasn't the best acting, filming and the story line wasn't pursued greatly. It was a bit far for a family film, I wouldn't watch it with my family. Give it a go, maybe it's your thing but it wasn't my cup of tea!

Great Read
This is definitely Joe Jill's best book so far. It's a very interesting and unique story, and I could barely put it down. One of the few books I'd love to see turned into a (good) film. My only criticisms would be is that I feel the ending was slightly disappointing and that I started to get a little irritated by the fact that a lot of the chapters ended in cliffhangers, despite you then finding out the outcome on the very next page. Seems a little pointless after a while.

Favorite Show!
This is by far my favorite show. I have been hooked since Episode 1, Season 1! The drama, the romance, the suspense, this show has it all! And season after season, the writers bring something new to the show whether its a new character or a story line that keeps us hooked and wanting more! People may say this show has run its course but I for one cant wait to see what else this show has in store for us!

Obvious bangers like "thank u, next" and "7 Rings." (2 more)
There are plenty of remixes, and Mixes.
Very telling of style, while experimenting with new styles
A Fairly Balanced, but Far-reaching album
Being the proclaimed "Grounded-Pop-Queen", Ari brings a lot to the table for 2019; with the obvious bangers "thank u, next" and "7 Rings."There are plenty of remixes, and Mixes of several songs that will stimulate the club scenes for years to come, celebrating the young artist as the new Mariah Carey.
