Dianne Robbins (1738 KP) rated Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997) in Movies
Sep 19, 2018
Why didn't I watch this sooner???
If you're like me, your high school years were not perfect and you always felt a bit like a weirdo or an outsider. If so, you'll enjoy this movie. It's hard not to love these characters. They seem vapid at the start of the film but towards the end, you see their love for each other and the kindness in their hearts. Throughout the movie, you see their friendship and support of each other. It's a sweet movie. Being a child of the 80s, I love the 80s references. Janeane Garofalo's character is funny in a dark way. And, OMG, there's everything to love about Alan Cumming. I adore him.

Stylized 80s Italian horror at its finest
It's hard to believe Jennifer Connelly was ever that young!
Director Dario Argento's interesting tale of a young American girl with unusual powers who comes to attend a European boarding school is interesting and very unusual at the same time. After a series of murders, the girl has to decide if her abilities will help her or it's just time to get out.
The film's rock score is intense and backs up the ominous visuals and striking sets and lighting. Certainly campy by today's standards, it still is an entertaining watch for those who enjoy out-of-the-box storytelling.

The Boy in the Cuckoo-Clock
This is the story about a boy that was born in the coldest day ever, and his heart froze, so, to save his life, the nurse replaced his heart for a Cockoo-Clock. The story is written by the boy perspective and it’s sweet the innocent way he thinks and feels.
“I wanted to go to school. I mean, who never tried strawberry’s with sugar wouldn’t order it for desert.”
He falls in love with this girl with big glasses. And it’s the story about how him and his Cockoo-Clock react to the way he feels about every feeling love can give

Love it
I love that I can have a playlist for every thing I do. Mood music for reading and gaming. Hang out the kids or friends. It is wonderful to get enjoy all the music from my school days when ever I want. This is really worth the small amount they charge for the premium account. Give it a shot and enjoy the sound waves.

Wonderful Insight
Wow what a fantastic insight into one of Britain's greatest actors. Although he died at just 31 years of age its incredible to think of how much he had done and how much he was loved and respected by everyone he ever knew, whether it be actors, school friends or anyone else. He truly is missed even to this day and this book is a must read for fans of either him, Porridge or Rising Damp. In fact just give it a read and see what you think. I would say its one of the most insightful biographies i have read :)
EmersonRose (320 KP) rated The Scarlet Letter in Books
Nov 20, 2019
This is one of those books that I feel like everyone reads in high school but my English teacher never had us read it. I will admit that I have been interested in reading it ever since I saw Easy A starring Emma Stone (Such a fun movie). I found myself really enjoying the story. It was deeper than I anticipated, and I loved the language and characters, especially Hester and Pearl. My only real struggle with the book was the first two hours were the author rambling before the story even started! But this book also gets bonus points because Hawthorne was friends with Ralph Waldo Emerson, a writer and transcendentalist, who I was named after.

David McK (3372 KP) rated Sherlock Holmes: The Voice of Treason in Books
Apr 12, 2020
At first, I must admit, I wondered what a Sherlock Holmes story that had not been written by Arthur Conan Doyle would be like.
And then I listened to this.
Set in the 'traditional' Sherlock Holmes setting of late in Queen Victoria's reign (in this case, after Reichenbach Falls) - instead of the more contemporary setting popularised by TVs Sherlock - this did take me a bit to get into.
However, it is impeccably produced and acted - even if it relies quite heavily on flashbacks - taking in such key characters as Sherlock himself, Dr Watson, Sherlock's brother Mycroft and Professor Moriarty, in a mystery around the kidnapping of the Queen!
(I was never taught that in school …)
