Epic Adventure Awaits!
My favorite movie of all time. I have seen this movie over a million times it seems. I can never get enough. The chemistry between Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant and Shawn Wallace is amazing. Billy Crystal is Miracle Max, adlibbing his way through the movie is total genius. Who wouldn't love an adorable blonde pirate played by Cary Elwes and Buttercup played by Robin Wright, in her first movie role. This is a not to be missed movie. Fun for all ages.

This movie scared the sh** out of me when I saw it in theaters. I ran out of the theater crying, and my mom had to convince me to finish watching it so I could see that it worked out in the end. Though, I was only 7, but after that, I had nightmares about being changed into a monkey for years. So, thanks for that, Jumanji. I actually haven't watched this movie as an adult, so maybe I should give it another chance. Robin Williams was the best part of the movie.

LOVE THIS FILM!!!
I can watch this film every day for a week and still love it as much on the Sunday as I did on the Monday!

Robin Williams yet again MAKES this film! His battle with Captain Hook, and learning about his past...


It is funny, light hearted and a perfect film to watch with the family.


Also considering the time it was made, aside from the croc, the effects in this are really good! But I think that the croc looks fake on purpose... or is that just me?

As the world reels from a bunch of natural disasters, Grant Borrows and his super powered friends become heroes. But have they escaped the plans of the Secretem? This is the second book in a Christian fantasy series. While I loved the first, this one fell too much into middle book syndrome. The first half was slow, but the second half really picked up. Definitely read this series in order.

A fictionalised retelling of the life story of Hereward of Bourne (also known as Hereward the Wake): an Anglo-Saxon who lead the resistance against William the Conqueror following his victory against Harold at Senlac Ridge, in what would become known as the Battle of Hastings.

While it is a name I had heard before, I have to say it's not a story that I was familiar with (unlike that of, say, Robin Hood or King Arthur) - this, however, I actually found to be rather a dry read.
