Erika (17789 KP) rated Borg vs McEnroe (2017) in Movies
Nov 25, 2018 (Updated Nov 25, 2018)
I had wanted to see this film in theaters, but it never made an appearance in the city I live in. I was thrilled when I saw it as a Hulu exclusive. Shia LaBeouf is solid in this film as John McEnroe, and I really enjoyed Sverrir Gudnason (recently was in Girl in the Spider's Web and underused) as Borg. The movie did a great job at creating tension, and the extended scene of the Wimbledon final was completely enthralling. Overall, this movie was definitely worth the wait.
Irene M (130 KP) rated And I Thought Divorce Was Bad: With Other Life Lessons in Books
Dec 7, 2018
I received this book for free for an honest review.
A collection of poetry, words of wisdom and short stories, all surrounding the subject of a relationship gone wrong, and through the healing process. After a short prologue poem the first item of prose is called “A Shiner” … a hard hitter in more way that one.
There was one or two small grammatical things I saw, but that's just me being a bit picky as it was not enough to take away from the heart-string pulling writing.
Well worth a read

Wow
From the moment I saw the trailer at a movie theater I was intrigued and knew I had to watch it. This movie was so much more than what I had expected and I was kept glued to my seat while watching it. This movie made the gears in my head spin madly and the revelation at the end completely blow me away. This is the kind of movie that you are either going to love or hate and I loved it. I'll be watching it again as I purchased it on Vudu.

didnt like certain subjects
okay so i wanted to know what all the damn fuss was about when i saw this movie and while it is quite brilliant indeed i personally didnt like the villian that stole tho souls from the kids its not nessasary to the plot and to be honest made no sense there were plenty of good scares and plenty going on without all that rigamaroar needed the story really kept my intrest and id for sure see it again

This book was a trilling read.
I loved the whole thing as it's a real keen interest of mine. I've even brought the follow up that book. Only problem is I've had a baby so my time to read it has been very minimal.
I was drawn into the book many years back when I saw it advertised at a trim station.
I will have to reread one day as it was a very good book which I read quite quick but I can't quite remember the time scale.

One of the greatest onscreen partnerships of all time! This is Butch and Sundance in pinstripes. A film with a plot, endless character and charm, and if not the greatest twist of all time, then one that is definitely in the conversation. It deservedly won 7 Oscars, including costume and music – two details that really make it stand out. Interestingly, Redford was nominated, but Newman was not! Whilst gloriously sinister bad guy Robert Shaw was ignored completely. I have yet to meet anyone who saw this that didn’t enjoy it. An almost perfect film.

Good but drains the battery
Saw this app maybe on here so decided to download as I so listen to podcasts mainly on Spotify. Good choice of podcasts, tried a few that looked interesting and slightly off the wall. Sounded good and will carry on with those but because they were American ones there were adverts in it. One big downside and it was mentioned in the comments, it drains your battery and fast. Will carry on using it though as useful to listen to podcasts whilst I garden.
