Stylish design decent smartwatch
Ive been after a smartwatch for a while and they are quite expensive. I managed to get one for around £50, on average they seem to be between £70-£250
I wanted a smartwatch that i could see messages and reply to them when i did not have access to my phone. I was given a fitbit charge which only enables me to see text messages. The moto 360 however, can be linked to all social media. While in range of my phone, I can get notifications from text messages, whatsapp, email, instagram etc, and also reply. I especially like the feature of recording a voice message on the watch which it converts and sends as a text message. It is much simpler and faster than trying to use the keyboard, which can be a bit chunky till you get used to it. I love the customisable faces. Facer and watchmaker are 2 of the best apps for downloading or creating new watch faces. The range is endless. The screen is very clear and sharp. I did have a small problem, I thought Id damaged the pixels on the screen. Searching online said there was no hope, then one day i switched it on and it had just vanished. This was lucky for me, as they are not that easy to fix. Even attempting to change the straps on the watch can break the back plate.
There are plently of smartwatches out there that can do the same as the 360, but i really do like the watch. Its less expensive and functions really well.

An explosive documentary and must-watch for true crime lovers
Content:
A man casually walks into a bank, with a bomb strapped to his neck and demands money. He gets caught on the parking lot after leaving the bank but he never makes it into a police car. 44 minutes after the first 911 call about the robbery and the bomb, the device around the mans neck detonates and kills him, all documented by CCTV and the Police. The man is Brian Wells, a pizza delivery man from this area. The documentary investigates the events around the murder of Brian Wells in Pennsylvania in 2003, which also became known as the „Pizza-Bomber“ Case.
Review:
If you are looking for a casual show to watch while playing candy crush on your phone, this is not the documentary for you, because things become complicated quick, with loads of suspects, different crime scenes and a lot of different stories that are told.
To really enjoy this documentary, you have to give it your full focus so you catch all the minute details. It’s like working the crime scene yourself. The documentary is not for the faint hearted. It shows the original CCTV footage of Brian Wells death!
The documentary includes interviews with people that worked on the cases, suspects and the family and friend of Brian Wells, which gives it a personal touch and makes it very attractive and fascinating to watch. It creates new questions in the viewers mind: Was Brian victim or perpetrator? Was the detonation an accident, murder or even suicide? And who is Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong and what does this woman have to do with all of this?
Trey Borzillieri, director and narrator of the documentary, shows his quite intense research for this documentary which ended in a deeper relationship with one of the suspects.
Evil genius is fascinating to watch, it grabs you and takes you through all Episodes, leaving you wanting more. A must watch for true crime lovers!

Well this was a fun movie. So much can happen in 90 minutes when there tons of guns. I have never seen anyone waste so many bullets.
This movie is about a 2 groups, one buying guns and one selling guns. Everything seems to be going great until one guy recognizes someone on the crew buying the guns and all hell breaks loose. Now for a movie about gun running there was a good amount of story and dialogue.
The 2 sides were at each others throats for the whole movie and a lot of flying bullets. At some point it looked like people were switching sides and switching back. The plot took an interesting twist when the phone in the warehouse started ringing and both sides thought they could call for help. At that point they all thought they could get out and it was a race to the phone.
With a mix of comedy and action this was a good movie. Very well written and directed. The fact that it was all filmed to appear to be about 2 hours in a warehouse is a cool twist on a single day type movie. It all worked very well. These types of indie movies should always get a watch. Even if it is only once.
This was such a good watch that I think everyone that reads this should watch it. You can watch it on Amazon Prime right now, so if you have it take a look. As always, enjoy the show.

Director Rob Reiner really had a fantastic career as a director going in the 80s and early 90s with the likes of When Harry Met Sally..., Stand By Me, Misery, A Few Good Men, This is Spinal Tap and this film of course.
Based on the masterful screenplay by Hollywood mega-scribe William Goldman, it quite frankly gives us the perfect showcase for "True Love".
Every character has their place in bringing the story forward, and the laughs keep coming in every scene. I used to have long passages of the screenplay memorized and could quote at will.
My kids and I will often text each other back and forth with a quote-a-thon of the film (I always win!)
Whenever someone leaves our house to go somewhere someone will always say "Have fun storming the castle!".
If I am ever needing to lighten my mood, I will sometimes even just watch a few scenes or catch some clips on YouTube. Quite honestly I can just close my eyes and recite it from memory.
What a classic!

One of the Best

My husband made me watch this one evening when we were first moved in together and usually the films he has made me watch haven't gone well!
I saw how old the film was and as I am a classic film lover I gave it a try and it has become one of my favourite films of all time!
The acting is superb, just raw talent and real passion.
I definitely think this film deserves it's high rating on rotten tomatoes and IMdb, it had everything in it that makes a good film and more. It has me laughing, crying, cringing, angry, sad and rooting for Andy and Red!
In the 'Bad' section I have only included one issue I have but that is because of how much you start to like the character of Andy. To see him go through what he did in the film genuinely breaks my heart every time I watch it.
If you haven't seen this film, Please get watching, I'm certain you won't regret it!
