Get in the car!
One of my favorite movies. I could watch this every week for the rest my my life for some reason. Everyone and everything is so quick paced. Everyone is pretty lovable. Lots of heavy hitters in this movie that deliver subtle yet memorable scenes. Kinda nice that its about an aspiring writer.

Not my favorite marvel movie but not my least favorite.
I went into this movie with lowered expectations because of the critic reviews. And I was plesently suprised by it. It's a fun movie with a strong female lead. The CGI is grwat and about 90% of the acting is fantastic. The beginning of the movie before they get to earth is a bit slow and boring, but after that it picks up and is very enjoyable.

It’s been a long space voyage, so long that the crew of the Space Warts is bored. Unfortunately, trouble finds them in the form of Commander Salamander, the notorious space pirate who is Commander Toad’s arch nemesis. He quickly boards the ship and plans to force the crew to play his favorite game, Hop the Plank. Can they get out of this situation?
I remember liking this one as a kid, but as an adult, it just doesn’t hold up well. The puns, a favorite of mine, aren’t on full display here. The twist at the end is just a bit too abrupt for me. I’m sure kids who are fans of these books will still enjoy it, however.

I think this is one of my new favorite games. I love games that have a campaign option. It allows for greater playability. This game is competitive, however, it is not a "sabotage" style of competitiveness. My friends and I tend to not handle those games well because someone always takes a move personally. In this game, there really isn't any of that. The storybook is my favorite part. We have other players read the story you land on for you and then the title of your two choices and then you decide which choice you are going to make before the rest of the story is read. It adds to the mystery! It becomes a "choose your own adventure" game and makes it possible to play the game again and again without repeating the same story line.
I adore reading Christmas books! I think I may have mentioned that a few times this year. I love the time of year and reading books specifically centered around winter and Christmas just makes everything more special. This collection of Christmas novellas is a great way to boost the Christmas spirit. Full of faith, romance, and all things Christmas.
From Wyoming to Washington, you will be swept off your feet as these couples conquer the odds and true love prevails.
Snuggle up in your favorite reading spot with a blanket and mug of your favorite steaming beverage (if you have a fireplace, even better), and get lost in the mountains of the west.
I received a copy of Mountain Christmas Brides from Carrie Turansky as a gift. I was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

All time favorite book
Contains spoilers, click to show
Beautiful, honest, heart breaking. If you want to understand someone who grew up living with a mentally unstable drug addict parent or two this is the book you should read. This book shows all the ugly underbelly of living life like that and anyone who hasn't had to live like that should thank their lucky stars. I know many people despise and feel very much like Brenda does about Wavy's relationship with Kellen. Wavy was more mature then her mother and father so to say that she wasn't old enough to make that decision is taking Wavy's power away from her. She was smart, willful and she knew exactly what she was doing. Anyone who truly understands this story will understand their relationship. This will be one of my all time favorite books.

They're Here
Contains spoilers, click to show
Poltergeist- is one of my favorite movies of all time and is one of my favorite horror movies of all time.
By the way this movie was PG, yes this movie was PG and it came from the director of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Its also produced by Steven Spielberg.
The sink sence, is so disturbing and gross and not sure why this movie wasnt rating R.
Also the clown sence is also a very scary moment.
Is some great memorable lines like:
"They're Here"
"You can't choose between life and death when we're dealing with what is in between."
"Poltergeist are usually associated with an individual. Hauntings seem to be connected with an area, a house usually."
Poltergeist is scary, terrorfying, frighting, horrorfying, memorable and overall a excellent supernatural horror film.
One that horror fans should watch.
