We have all the time in the world
My favorite bond movie not perfect by any means its a shame that geroge lazenby only did one bond film. The plot follows the book perfectly as blofeld plans to use is angels of death contaminte crops and animals but only bond can only stop him and finds time to fall in lovewith tracey daughter of local crook.
It also has the perfect love song from louis armstrong. And telly savalas as blofeld and the ending still gets me

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Cream Puff Murder (Hannah Swensen, #11) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Hannah needs to lose weight, so she has joined Heavenly Bodies, the new gym at the mall. But one morning, she finds universally hated fitness instructor Ronnie Ward floating face down in the spa. It really is cruel to talk about losing weight in the middle of all the delicious recipes in the book. Not the strongest plot in the series, but fans will love spending time with their favorite characters.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated The Secret of the Mansion (Trixie Belden #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Meet Trixie, Honey, and Jim as the trio form a friendship and hunt for the treasure that is supposed to be in Jim's great uncle's old house.
This is a very favorite series from childhood on, and I just love meeting the characters again for the first time. They aren't quite themselves yet, and can be annoying as a result. Just know they grow stronger from their friendships by the next in the series.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Gringo (2018) in Movies

I didn't know if this movie was going to be completely terrible, or completely hilarious. It was mostly hilarious. For starters, the cast was stacked. I love Charlize Theron in everything, and her character was a boss, and my favorite scene in the movie is when she's giving herself a pep talk in the car. David Oyelowo was so funny as Harold and he was so charming. Joel Edgerton was the perfect d-bag. I completely forgot Sharlto Copley was in this movie until he showed up, and his character was one of my favorites.

Jennifer Connelly
Creepy Dark Crystal-esque Nostalgia with an Alice in Bowie-land feel.
I'm not going to say this film is great, it's actually just ok, but like Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Connelly seems to make everything a little bit better. My adolescent self will tell you much much better. The puppet work is fantastic, and of course it is with Jim Henson at the helm. Most people don't know this but it was a commercial flop. But since then has become a cult favorite, which is where it should be.
Connie (244 KP) rated Evil Apples: Dirty as ____. in Apps

Okay but not amazing
I like being able to play whenever I want, but there are a lot of people who either quit or get disconnected. Maybe I don't like this as much because I don't know the people involved, or maybe I just can't get into it. I don't know. It has promise, but I wish the games were bigger. Only playing with 3-5 people and then having 1 or 2 of them quit takes the fun out of it mostly. It's still promising, but definitely not my favorite.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Mad Men - Season 1 in TV
Jun 3, 2018
Mad Men is one of the first and only series I binge-watched. The first episode had me sucked in, after Don Draper's work day, for him to walk into his suburban home with the family that you didn't know existed until the last few minutes. It was so good, and I was hooked. I think that this season was probably the best, and gave us the gift that is Betty Draper shooting the birds in her nightgown. The costumes were period perfect, and Peggy was definitely my favorite female character.
lyeelia (1 KP) rated Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in Tech
May 29, 2018
I switched from android to iPhone and the Galaxy Note 8 marks my switch back. The phone is quick to load, and it just works wonderfully all around. I like the way the phone looks and fits in my hand. It's easy to use and there are a ton of neat tricks and apps that can be used with the S Pen, which is easily my favorite thing about this phone.
I've recommended it to several of my friends already and I don't think I'll ever go back to iPhone.

Best App to Track Reading & Personal Library Management
This is by far one of my favorite apps on my phone. I love using the app to keep track of books that I have read and books that I own. I also love the integration that the app has with my Kindle. It makes it easy for me to keep track of the books I have read and also to find new books that I am interested in. If you are a reader, you need to be on Goodreads.
