Remembers where you left off
Can listen offline
I love this app. It's great that you can download tracks to listen to offline. It pauses if you get an incoming call. It remembers where you paused so you can come back to it easily. I also like that you can change the reading speed as at first I found it too slow. I'm so chuffed that my library is a part of this. I do find it a bit faffy to find books. Especially foreign language books (of which I'm still to find)

I have a hard time playing FPS games, but I took a lot of breaks so I was able to play this game at my own pace. The story is good and I found it interesting. I feel like the game missed out however on not having a campaign. The zombie aspect was cool, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking. If you are big into COD games, you'll enjoy it. It's not a terrible game and I did enjoy playing it for what it was, but I feel there's other games out there that offer a little more.

I Just Don't Think I Get It
Don't know if it's just me, but I did not rate this program. Maybe the humour is too subtle/ dark/ deadpan, not sure, but try as I might, I just could not get into it. I did not laugh at the jokes, and found the dialogue very one dimensional (Not sure what I mean by that, just flat, I guess). I know a lot of people like it, so it must just be me, but was not into it. It's no Rick & Morty.

I find Zack Snyder movies generally border on Michael Bay territory, visually very impressive but empty and soulless. I also didn’t like ‘Man Of Steel’ at all and find Henry Cavill a wooden Superman. This I actually found to be a slight improvement , it’s not as long and thankfully had a bit more humour with the addition of Wonder Woman , Aqua Man and The Flash to the mix. It feels very choppy though perhaps evidence of the extensive reshoots and turbulent journey to the screen the film had. Ultimately it’s watchable but fairly forgettable stuff that pales in comparison to any MCU movie.

If you love the likes of A Fault in Our Stars, Everything Everything or 100 Days or Sunlight you will love this coming of age story. It focuses on two people; Finch who has had a tough childhood and suffers from depressive episodes and Violet who has recently lost her sister in a car accident. The find each other on a ledge and Finch makes its his mission to save Violet from the spiral she has found herself in by exploring Indiana. It takes you on an emotional ride, but only one of them makes it in the end and it is heartwrenching!

Finally got round to watching this film. The effects were fantastic. The movie almost stayed true to its original form apart from random word changes here and there (I saw the original so much thanks to my autistic baby sister, that I know it word for word) they also slightly changed the song notes in places. I found some of the acting to be slightly forced. Overall the film was ok, but I stand by the opinion that the original animated movies are better than the updated “live action” ones. Would watch again but only if there was little else to watch

Shrek-tastic fun
Found this gem whilst browsing online, I was surprised I hadn't heard of it being a fan of the franchise so was eager to give it a look.
based on the 2001 DreamWorks Animation film Shrek and featuring elements of sequels Shrek 2, Shrek Forever After and William Steig's 1990 book Shrek! This is a brilliant performance by both cast, crew and musicians with wonderful set colours & designs, really catchy musical numbers classic lines & some subtle adult jokes.
The runtime is a little over 2 hours which is more that enough to enjoy.

Robert Downey Jr. is fantastic

Iron man is fantastic. I dont think anyone else could portray Iron Man as well as Robert Downey Jr. He has captured the perfect amount of arrogance, sass and comedy in this character. I also love his vulnerability and subsequent power found from this with the shrapnel in his chest.
I love the whole idea that this could be true as the technology is quite believable. Jarvis and Pepper are great characters that really bring out the Iron Man character aswell.
The story is good with some interesting twists and turns.

I thought this film was fine. It had its moments of funny. It was a little predictable, but I feel like with these movies it always is. I do think that Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell are good together. I found Dusty to be annoying, but I guess that was kind of the point. I am going to watch the second one because I want to know what happens - whatever that's worth.
I didn't like that they kept implying Brad was racist. I just don't find those jokes funny and I'm surprised they tried to land so many.
