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.

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.

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.

Cait (5 KP) rated The Simpsons™: Tapped Out in Apps

Loads of Fun
As someone who loves the Simpsons, Tapped out is the perfect game for me. I love rebuilding Springfield, and collecting all the different characters. However I do feel like they do too many events on the game sometimes, which slows down doing normal quests, making it harder to progress through the game. Also I barely get any notifications, so unless I check on the game, I have no idea that my quests are done.

Voice control (1 more)
Applications
Convenient. Entertaining. Resourceful.
I used my amazon voucher and waited for black Friday deal to appear so that the stick would come down to £20!! Amazing deal. Very convenient to use.. use of apps such as netflix and spotify, as well as other videos that are convenient such as exercise videos etc. The voice control is very easy to navigate and saves a lot of effort and time having to look for the right programme/application/song etc!
