80s wants their movie back
This movie had a 1980s coming of age movie. At least in the 80s they would not just stopped at kids swearing but throw in some topples shots as well. Dont forget i am Gen X and i grew up on 80s movies.
The movie had potential but they never tapped in to it. The acting over all was great, well it was good. I found the kid's acting was great but the adults in the movie it was ok and not movie quality acting. After seeing this movie do yourself a favor and pick up some coming of age movies from 80s to early 90s and you might see where i am coming from.

This book did a good job of helping me envision life on Maui during the late 60s and early 70s. The imagery was beautiful and has definitely inspired me to visit the island of Maui on my next trip to Hawaii. However, the main character, Carrie Ann, was not always likable to me. I found her extremely naive and a bit annoying at times. Also, prepare yourself for some heavy topics towards the end. All in all I enjoyed the book, but due to my dislike towards Carrie Ann during certain points and some minor grammar errors, I give it 4 stars.

not enough for me
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book
Ten maids to Master Marius tell their story, identified only by the job and the colour of their underwear.
This was an easy read, erotic flash fiction, 49 pages. It didn't do very much for me, though, and I found 9 stories almost identical. The tenth is different in the the Maid is in control, rather than Marius but there was still the reference to her colour underwear, and what she felt about the other maids.
It was reasonably well written, and delivers what it claims to be: short erotic fiction.
It just wasn't ENOUGH for me, but I did finish it.
3 stars

I am so glad HBO unlocked some of it's contents. It's no secret I love crime documentaries, it's the majority of television that I watch.
This doc was a first hand account by FBI agents, and the 'winners' of the McDonald's Monopoly game. Agent Mathews was my favorite, he was straight up hilarious. I may have found some of it funnier than most, mainly because in the first ep he complains about healthcare fraud, which is actually the field I work in. FBI agents do not like it in general because it takes forever to prove, speaking from personal interactions with agents.
It was interesting that the 'winners' and other people involved actually participated. It made for a rounded documentary.

A proper horrible horror film
So my kids are now getting to the age where I was when I really started to get into horror films and my eldest wanted to see something properly good. She has watched the It's, and Grudge's and Saw's but wanted something that she would properly remember.
I chose this as I have always loved it and she (and I) wasnt disappointed. It's the only film that she has watched so far that she says she'll never watch again as she found it "horrible and disgusting " but she really enjoyed it. Very tense and the acting from the whole cast is totally spot on.
Nearly 40 years old and still outstanding.
Watch it if you haven't already

Emily (1430 KP) rated Civilization II in Video Games
Feb 18, 2020
This is one of the first video games I ever played that wasn't strictly educational, and I loved it.
Simple premise - build a civilization and win over all the others by way of a few different victory conditions.
Having said that, after a few times of playing it through, I found playing with the cheat mode on to be far more fun than getting bulldozered by a bazillion enemy units hiding on one tile. Genuinely never understood how they could produce units so fast!
I think the best bit was the advisors, videoed people (which was a brand new thing in games at the time) and their costumes changed depending on the period, so one of them ended up looking like Elvis! They were all quite funny.
