Welsh lake mythology is some of the most quietly unsettling folklore I know, and I mean that with enormous affection.

The lakes of Wales, in the old tradition, are not passive landscape features. They are active, wilful, and possessed of long memories.

Llyn y Fan Fach gives up a woman of the Tylwyth Teg to a mortal man under precise and fragile conditions, and when those conditions are broken — three times, three causeless blows — she walks back into the water and takes everything she brought with her. The lake doesn't mourn. It simply closes over her again, as though she had never left.

Other lakes hide drowned villages beneath their surfaces, places that were swallowed for a transgression or simply because the water decided to reclaim what had always been its own. On still nights, the bells of those sunken churches are said to carry upward through the water.

There is a particular kind of mythological thinking at work here — one that understands landscape not as backdrop but as character, and water not as resource but as sovereign. The lake gives. The lake takes back. It was never yours to keep.

New way for aliens to be found sort of.
WHat alien movie would be good with out the number 1 alien investigator in Duchovny. Two state college professors come across a meteor that has struck in the middle of the dessert that has an entire alien civilization on it. We see the aliens go from cells to full grown species in very little time and three underdogs have to find a way to destroy the species. Orlando Jones really comes through as the comic relief in a film that I believe to be very underrated.

Awesome Movie
This movie I had high hopes for and it did not disappoint. The acting was superb, nobody overacted or tried to steal the show. Gal Gadot was a perfect casting choice for Wonder Woman.

There was action, comedy and a little bit of romance. It balanced out quite well in this movie. I have watched it three times and each time I come out with something new from it. I hope the other movies in the franchise are just as good.

The weak plot
Action packed
A good Transformers film. If you like the franchise I'd say it's as good as the last one, but not up to the first three films. There is plenty of Action scenes, battles, car chases. The film suits 3D as well. However the story is a little weak. Good to see some new characters and it has plenty of light hearted moments. One for the fans and if you like plenty of Action scenes.

Absolutely Brilliant
I remember three cartoon from years ago and I loved that so thought well if can only be as good or worse. I was wrong it was better!! If you like Disney films then put this one on your watch list and you won't be disappointed at all. Not ashamed to admit that this film was amazing. From a start to finish I sang along to all the songs with only a few minor changes to them. In short if you liked the original Cartoon film you will love this version.

In the story of The Mudhogs, the three pigs named Piggy, Piggles, and Piglet love mud. They want to play in the mud but there isn’t any in the barn that they live in. So they travel the world looking for mud… and when they get home they learn an important lesson.

This is a really cute book that all kids would love. It’s easy to understand and is written by a kid for a kid. The illustrations are adorable and the story is funny and cute. Recommended for ages 3-10.

I love the complexity of the story intertwining with three different people and how each point of view is so unique. My emotions were with each character throughout the book, especially Oskar, who is so bright for his age. (0 more)
