Leah Rothwell (170 KP) rated My Neighbor Totoro (1988) in Movies
Sep 24, 2018
This is a movie that shows love, friendship, loss and hardships. It’s so beautifully drawn you feel such a connection that it’s as if the characters leap off the screen and are sat there with you. Watch out for little Easter eggs that hint at their other creations and it will make the experience even more enjoyable. It’s hard to spot them all but it’s a fun game once you’ve watched it a few times.
If you haven’t watched this film yet I urge you to watch it, but be prepared to fall in love and never be able to forget this film.
Just remember once you’ve watched this, watch all the other studio Ghibli films as you can’t stop at this one.

I love reading novella collections because it gives you a taste of the author's style. The love of reading does have a lot to do with finding a book, genre, author "to spark your fancy". I went several years without reading much because I was trying to force myself to read a style that I just wasn't interested in. Now, I have read more in half a year than I typically read in several years put together. I have read several books by Mary Connealy, but this was my first taste of the other authors. I can honestly say that I am looking forward to reading their full length novels now. Very humorous and sprinkled with faith. This novella collection is the perfect combination of stories for any reader who loves a good western romance.
The changes the first film made were not good (as proved by the lack of sequels) though it had some great casting. The new series looked promising, but since I read the books bacķ in 2010, I think I will have to revisit them soon!
This magical coming of age story was so lovely, I gave the hardback trilogy to my 9 year old niece who loved it, and has been loving fantasy since!
I recommend this for the hitting puberty audience, since that is a strong theme throughout, but an adult with a love of the genre would love it too!.

The wit and references in this game make it a great play for anyone a little nerdy.
This game rewards the explorer! The one hunting in every corner of the map, finding all the hidden gems Bethesda has to offer.
The idea of an alternate reality where the world has fallen to nuclear animation is both interesting and terrifying. It is well though out, exciting and heavy on the details. I love How you have to search through locations, such as the vaults, to hunt for clues on what has happened.
There are so many quests, location and unique items, it will take a long time to play though.
I am now on my second go around, forgot how hard a full bobble head collection is to acquire, but I will do it again!
