2011 | Action, Adventure, Comedy
Odd ball hero film
It starts out pretty well but I think it lost its way about half way through. It's an ok mix of action, comedy but sometimes tries to be too serious and other times too funny! There is far too much cgi for me and despite the budget not all of it looks that good. By the time you get to the last 15mins it just didn't feel like the right ending for the film? A mix of the Mask with Superman, odd combo!

2017 | Simulation
almost no limits placed on your creativity when creating a sim, with a great amount of fluidity/ variety of options allowing your sims to have unique body shapes and gender preferences (2 more)
beautiful graphics
just so much fun which so many possibilities for your sims
despite the range and effects of character traits being great and varying, they have a drastic impact upon sims' moods which sometimes change so frequently that it is hard to get anything done (although this can just be part of the fun!!) (0 more)

Great for listening to you're old favorites and getting exposure to new songs that fit in with your taste. (2 more)
Love being able to add variety to my stations.
Ads are not often enough to be annoying. Certainly more tolerable than normal radio.
It can take a while to get the perfect station curated, but once you do it's great. (2 more)
Sometimes it can get on kicks of all the same type of song, even after skipping.
Haven't been able to get the alarm to work.

Weird or spooky history and folklore, sometimes cryptids
A well-researched show that gives facts and insights into everything from big foot to serial killers to Amityville horror. It goes all over the place, which I both like and dislike, but I always download it right when comes out. There are (melo)dramatic pauses, inferences about what people were feeling, and putting some reactions and stories into local and historic context. All presented in a soothing baritone. So, if that's what you're into, you'll love Lore.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018)
2018 | Biography, Documentary
This was a beautiful tribute to a man who only wanted the world to be a good place. It was great to hear about how he sometimes felt unsure of himself and unsure if what he was doing was right. It was great to hear him talk about how teaching children was so important and it was great hearing about how he developed his style for teaching children in such a way. Such a great guy. We didn't deserve him but I'm happy we had him.

Could have been a 5 star book I think - It was a bit lacking in some areas - why was it so repetitive sometimes? I get you're a chemist, etc. - I think it'd have been fun to learn more on that as far as making the weapons, etc. However, where the book shines is 100% in the dog arena. That was my favourite part of the whole book, when will there be a dog what's happening OMG :P I'm a pet person what can I say.

This one was in Hulu(but I think it's on Amazon too). The acting and cinematography were ok. The story unfolds well enough, but was a bit predictable sometimes. It's a drama/thriller about a guy who can go into people's memories to help solve crimes. He is on a case to help a young girl who turns out to be smarter than anyone realizes. If you liked inception you'll probably like this one. Worth a watch on a night with nothing else to do.

Thrilling interesting and twisty
I really loved this series and while I sometimes flinched away at the use of sexual violence it portrayed it did so with a purpose rather then to revel in the responses.
As a single mother I could relate to the struggles of motherhood when even when you try your best you never feel good enough.

2016 | Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi
Sometimes the trouble is that hearing a film is very good gives you high expectations, that's what happened with me this time and I have to say I was left disappointed. I felt this film was ok, I did like a lot of the humour but nothing really stood out for me and I wouldn't want to watch it again. I raved about it to my husband saying how it was supposed to be REALLY funny and REALLY good but he didn't think much of it either.

great music
great acting
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. It took me a little while to get completely into it and i felt like it took a little while to get going, but once i did i loved it.
This movie made me both laugh and cry (sometimes both at the same time), and even though the story has some sad undertones, at heart it is a feel good film, and genuinely makes you feel good about yourself and who you are.
