Complex, intricate, the relations of three people living in isolation
A beautifully complex and deep novel portraying a young Jewish man living in isolation with a widow and her father-in-law. The relationship between the three characters is intriguing, using dialogue to reveal the political turmoil at the founding of Israel as a state. At the same time, understanding how Jews are represented in Christianity. The house the story takes place in is almost an analogy of the separation of the Jewish community as a whole in this plot, with no friends but only suspicion of the outside and from the outside. An important novel for current times

I bought this phone only two months after it was released. And I was so excited about it.
Now, three years later, I'm still happy with my choice.
Yes she has slowed down some, seeing as I overwork her a lot but regardless her performance is still very satisfactory. The camera quality is still impressive. The battery life, while not the best on the market, has only slightly decreased over the three years.
Overall I have really loved this phone, and I will probably get the newest OnePlus when it's time for an upgrade. But this one still has plenty of life to give.

Good to have in your collection
I really like this game as it takes you through three stages of gameplay while you are trying not only to build your monuments but also counteract opponent's moves so they don't claim victory in one of the less obvious ways. Rules are decently simple and as there are several ways to win, your strategy is always shifting in order to adapt to your goals and your opponent moves. Game (all three rounds) usually takes between 30-45minutes. It is one of the games I like to get back to when I am undecided what to play. Highly recommend.

Really really bad
Saw this on Amazon Prime as I remembered the original and in fact have all the DVDs. Sorry but I gave up after episode three as it was so awful. This time it is set in America and yes it starts in the same way as the original with a dinosaur appearing in an American city and the lead character trying to find the time loop. Episode two was OK but episode three sealed it for me and it was removed from my watch list, but you may do better, although my son who did watch all the episodes said it never got any better.

Wow. This was my first time watching this classic film. Of course I watched the three and a half-hour version of this film, because it was the way Kurosawa intended for his audience to watch it. But let me tell you. This movie used all three and a half hours perfectly. There is not a wasted moment in this entire film. It is quite easy to see why this is considered to be one of the best films ever made, and it is also easy to see exactly how it influenced all of the other films that have come since. I highly recommend it.
