Great social photo sharing
A great sociable app, whether you are snapping your day to day life, social events, holidays... Or a fancy dinner this is the app for you. I like the story addition to see snippets of people I follow. The whole world and his dog are on there. Follow your favourite bands, celebs, teams, hotels, bars, films they are all on there. With the ability to check in locations and hash tag photos it's easy to browse photos you will like. The variety is great.
Charlie Ulloa (13 KP) rated Oliver! (1968) in Movies
Dec 15, 2019
A classic that you have to see at least once in your life
Good direction, you get to hate the antagonists and the main actor wins your heart. Oliver Twist is a book classic if you can read the book before the movie, read it. If not, then pictured the characters as in the movie sometimes help you more.
As I said, Oliver Twist is a classic both, movie and book. You have to watch it as a must, more so, in the holidays season.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Unravel in Video Games

I got this as part of an EA bundle from the PS Store at a bargain price.
It has a very cute story-line involving a ball of string that is retelling the tales of a family's holidays, helping to fill in photo albums and picture frames in the family's house. You have to make it from one end of the memory to the other, going through puzzling scenarios and avoiding things that may hurt you without running out of string.
Considering the game is for all ages, I did find some of the puzzles a little complicated at times.

Kim Pook (101 KP) rated Holidate (2020) in Movies

A young woman, Sloane comes home for the holidays to see her critical family who always brings up that she's still single. Meanwhile a guy called Jackson is meeting the family of a crazy woman after just the second date. He walks out of their house when things get weird and uncomfortable.
Both Sloane and Jackson bump into each other whilst returning unwanted gifts in a longer than neccessary but pretty entertaining scene. They end up talking and hanging out at the mall, the idea of a holidate comes up which is something Sloanes aunty participates in in the holidays, meaning you get together with a random stranger specifically for a holiday, just a date with no commitments. Jackson gives sloane his number, at first she refuses to text him but after her mum tries to set her up with a guy she phones Jackson to arrange a no commitment holidate for new years. They get on well and have a good evening despite a dirty dancing inspired hilarious injury.
Fast forward to valentines, sloane is still dateless and once again bumps into Jackson who saves her from an awkward encounter with her ex. This is when they agree to be each others dates for every holiday.
As a lover of rom coms I really enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. Admittedly it was highly predictable but also highly entertaining, I howled with laughter multiple times.
Highly recommended.

Brumpolarbears (22 KP) rated Sushi Go! in Tabletop Games
Jun 19, 2019
A great fast-paced game that is fun for all the family. Easy to pick up rule set, with a cute and colourful rule set. Easy to slip into your bag for train journeys or holidays. The aim of the game is for you to amass the most points by grabbing the best combination of sushi from the deck. An incredibly competitive game that can see your strategy go right out of the window if fellow players get wind. Do you go for the big points and risk not being able to get that final card you need, or do those small points rack up and earn you the victory you want?

I honestly do not have anything bad to say about The Good Place and thoroughly enjoyed watching it over the Christmas holidays! Full of imagination and creativity. The story line is great and also explores psychology and philosophy, which I could really relate to as I have a strong interest in those subjects. The actors are great and watching this really made me think about my own actions and behaviours and how I can improve. What effect do my actions have on others, as well as myself and my future. I'm waiting for season 2 episode 2 for tomorrow! Weekly episodes ensure I have something to look forward to at the end of each week! Fabulous series, thoroughly enjoy it
Kristy H (1252 KP) rated Happiest Season (2020) in Movies
Nov 28, 2020
Loved it. It made me cry. Definitely the queer romantic comedy we all deserve. Kristen Stewart is excellent as Abby and Mackenzie does a good turn as Harper, her girlfriend who is struggling coming out to her family (and basically her entire hometown). Harper takes Abby home for the holidays, doesn't act her best, and heartbreak ensues. Daniel Levy is wonderful as Abby's best friend and Aubrey Plaza as Harper's ex. Victor Garber and Mary Steenburgen are spot-on as Harper's parents, who demand perfection from all three of their daughters. If you've ever had to come out to your family, this film will deeply resonate with you. If you're straight and haven't had that experience, watch it, consider what others around you may have gone through and feel some empathy. It's funny, heartbreaking, and sweet.

Quality of animation and storytelling (1 more)
Mixture of high comedy and gut-wrenching emotion
Yes they Canada!
I was certain in my believe that TS4 would be a horrible misstep, following the beloved original trilogy! (And to be honest I wasn’t really as mad-keen on TS3 either!) As such, I really wasn’t fussed that due to holidays and work trips it’s been out a month before I’ve seen it. But how wrong I was! Pixar have really done it again and pulled a gem out of the bag.
Directed by Josh Cooley (as his first feature!), it’s a masterpiece, and cements itself firmly in my films of the year list.

ClareR (5589 KP) rated Summerwater in Books
Oct 4, 2020
Summerwater takes place over a single day in a Scottish holiday park. Each section follows a different person as they experience a very wet holiday with not very much to do.
I do enjoy this kind of book that looks at the ordinary, everyday lives - nothing wildly exciting happening. I know this may appear odd, but there you are 🤷🏼♀️ Maybe it could be construed as voyeuristic, but ‘normal’ fascinates me, because one persons normal isn’t remotely like mine (or anyone else’s). There are people from all walks of life: the retired doctor and his wife who appears to have dementia; young parents with small children; older parents with teenaged children; a boyfriend and his girlfriend. I could go on, but I won’t. Needless to say, they’re all very different people. They do have some things in common: their distrust of outsiders. There is an ex-soldier camping and living rough in the woods, and a Ukrainian family who certainly seem to know how to have a party. No-one seems to particularly trust them or like their presence at the holiday park.
I liked the smaller sections from the point of view of nature - whether it was from one of the animals in the woods, or the bedrock beneath the lodges. It made me think that all of the petty human concerns were nothing in comparison to the ground beneath their feet and that feeling of endurance.
I’ve had more than a few holidays where I’ve been shut up in a tent, camper van or a holiday cottage because of bad weather, and this reminded me in some part of those holidays (minus the rather dramatic ending!). I think I liked this so much because basically, at the end of the day, I’m a bit of a curtain twitcher...
Many thanks to NetGalley and Picador/ Pan Macmillan for my copy of this book.
