Such an amazing show
This show is simply beautiful. From the great acting to all the gorgeous spot on wardrobes. This is a true life story of one of the biggest department stores in London, built by an American man. It is definitely a fantastic show to add to your binge watching list!!

Binge watching the last season today as it’s leaving Netflix end of the month hopefully eventually Disney plus some day. Anyway loved the show since the first episode Krysten Ritter is perfectly cast as Jessica jones the hero of the show. Hen there’s Rachel Taylor as her sister who’s just as good. And then there’s David tennant as kilgrave the purple man who almost steals th e show as the villain of season one. And if Jessica jones joins the mcu one day then Krysten Ritter should return

Starting to feel a bit stale and cheap.
I have to assume the budgets for these films is pretty low and this one is starting to show it.
You get to find out about the origins of The Tall Man in this one which is about the only thing extremely interesting or original about it.
I still enjoyed watching, but a little tired.

Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Leonardo da Vinci in 30 Seconds in Books
Apr 10, 2018
Bright and colourfully presented, this "in 30 seconds" book about the brilliant man, Leonardo Da Vinci is targeted at middle-grade readers but accessible by older students as well. It is well laid out and leaves information easily found. Illustrations are meaningful and show the works of the great man.
Overall, this is a pleasant read, that adds to information and one I would happily put in my youngster's library.

Ill Be Running Man
The Running Man- is actually a good movie. Its action mixed with sci-fi mixed with survival. And who better than Arnold to be in it. He does say alot of one liners in this movie. Like his one liner in the terminator, "Ill be back".
The plot: In the year 2019, America is a totalitarian state where the favorite television program is "The Running Man" -- a game show in which prisoners must run to freedom to avoid a brutal death. Having been made a scapegoat by the government, an imprisoned Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has the opportunity to make it back to the outside again by being a contestant on the deadly show, although the twisted host, Damon Killian (Richard Dawson), has no intention of letting him escape.
Wait one second, its 2019 and this is has not happened yet. It still could.
Its a very underrated sci-fi action 80s movie. I would reccordmend watching it.

Wow, havent seen this in a long time. Made me want to be a an actress. Loved it and everything that came after. As a one man show he proved that limited range ( in this) was absolutely an a-ok way to do comedy. Hes so good that even the most serious viewer cant help but fall for the goof.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated The Nightingale Before Christmas (Meg Langslow, #18) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Meg has been drafted as the coordinator of the show house, which will be decorated by a group of designers and then opened to the public to raise funds for local charities. However, when Meg goes back to lock up late one night, she finds one of the designers murdered in the master bedroom. He wasn’t a very well-liked man, but who actually hated him enough to murder him?
Yes, this book does tie in to Christmas as well (as hinted at by the title). It’s a fun mystery I thought I had figured out, but I was surprised in the end. The characters are great, although Josh and Jamie, Meg’s twins, completely stole the show. I would have liked to see more from one thread from the previous book, but hopefully that will show up in the next in the series.
