2000 | Documentary
It's coming back!
This used to be one of my favorite shows in the 2000s and completely launched DIY Network and the home-improvement TV show boom which happened afterwards.

It's a simple premise, but really great TV entertainment. Some of the designer egos seemed a bit much, but host Paige Davis always kept everything rolling with her spunky energy and never-ending smile.


Can't wait to see the new episodes!!

It the best of the new Bond movies
By far, my favorite of the modern Bond movies. Armed with a license to kill, Secret Agent James Bond sets out on his first mission as 007, and must defeat a private banker to terrorists in a high stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, Montenegro, but things are not what they seem.

Alright, 2 of my favorite authors (JOHN GREEENNN), a shit ton of snow, love, and a string of coincidences: What could go wrong?
Answer: NOTHING!! This book was incredible, I loved it so much. I actually screamed at the end when everyone met up. It was really crazy, but all these reunited couples made me so, so happy. I finished this in one sitting (though it wasn't too long) and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

To be entirely honest, it's just as good, if not better. I loved it so much, and the different writing styles mixed together made it all the better. Definitely a great read.

"I saw the future, and in it I was alive."
Neil Hilborn is my favorite so the five stars is probably a little biased. However I love all his work. I love watching him perform the poems and I love reading them. I honestly never really cared about poetry until I found him by accident about a year ago, and now I read poems as much as I read fiction. So thank you Neil, and thank you button poetry.

Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington are always a winning pair. I think I may have liked this movie more than the first, mostly because it brought more of a personal story for Denzel's character. The beginning set the tone, and for a bit of the movie, you think it's just going to be Denzel righting wrongs, but then it finally gets into the story. I think my favorite was the end, the cinematography during the hurricane was amazing.

I read this book around 10 years ago so excuse my vagueness and lack of detail. While I love its premise, the characters in Uglies annoyed me and I found them hard to relate to. Granted I was around 12 years old and I think I may be due for a reread. I nonetheless am grateful to this book and its series because it was my gateway into YA Dystopian which is now one of my favorite sub-genres.

Tiffany Haddish's wardrobe (1 more)
Ben Schwartz
My favorite part of this movie, by far, was Tiffany Haddish's wardrobe in this film, it was completely on point.
Other than that, it was a typical Kevin Hart movie. It produced some laughs, and was humorous throughout, but it didn't really stay with me afterwards. The one thing the movie did emphasize was that not everyone learns the same, and just because you have learning disabilities, you're not stupid. So, there was that.

This will definitely be in my top favorite book of the year. Amanda blew me away with this story. It's cute, funny and this brings the scorching heat waves!

Amelia has had a troubled past by men. She makes a decision to leave New York to visit Ireland. Something happens and her plans turn for the worst, until a sexy Rory comes along.

I'm so excited to see more from these characters. The chemistry is out this world hot

This is one of those rare books that I actually stayed up until 2am to read in one go. I think my favorite part about it was the unusual writing style employed by the author. The focus frequently switches between Hannah's voice on the tapes and Clay's reaction to her words in a coherent fashion that unlike some books is not confusing at all. If they ever made this into a movie I'd definitely watch it.

Heartwarming and fun
I have watched this so many times. It one of my favorite Christmas stories directed by Jim Henson.

When a poor otter family sees the opportunity of a town talent show to make some much needed cash, they seize on the opportunity.

The songs and morals in this short TV movie make this great fun for the whole family.

The songs from Paul Williams will keep you humming.
