Fifty Shades of Grazing

Profoundly beautiful and thoughtful film that seeks to address a number of deep philosophical issues in a comparatively brief running time - the boundary between person and animal, the importance of being in harmony with nature, and the dehumanising effect of living in modern western society.

Or, if you prefer, just another technically brilliant and very, very clever animation from Aardman, managing to tell a witty and satisfying story with virtually no dialogue required. Very funny and utterly charming at the same time (and it really does touch on the stuff I mentioned at the top of the page, too). I tell you, films like this are wasted on kids.

Finding Jesus in Israel: Through the Holy Land on the Road Less Traveled by Buck Storm witty and poignant book. Buck Storm is the books tourist guide and takes the reader on a journey to locations and scenes off the well-traveled bus routes. Discover internal struggles of the people, the land and self mixed with humor and sadness as well. For those of us who dream of an Israel trip while reality deems that unlikely in this lifetime, this gem provides us with a glimpse of the landscape and climate: politically, socially and spiritually.

I received this ARC from Worthy Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have this book 4/5 stars.

Quote worthy and repeatable

This is a great movie for the whole family. Not only are there wonderful visual effects that entertain the younger watcher, there is the witty, quotable one liners for the more mature. The characters and their relationships with each other are believable on both sides of the Jumanji story. My favorite is Sheldon Oberon played by Jack Black. He played a fantastic teenage girl obsessed with herself. I can't count how often we have watched movie and enjoy it every time. I find that when my husband and I are quoting a movie scene for scene, it means we really like it.

Andy K (10827 KP) rated National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) in Movies

Who doesn't get fed up with the relatives sometimes?

In my top 3 Christmas movies of all time.

This time, the vacation comes to the Griswolds as the relatives come by for a helping of holiday cheer as Clark decides to makes his home a Christmas light spectacle while waiting for his Christmas bonus.

I think it resonates because we have all had those trying times with the family or the one relative you wish you could tell off or not have to sit next to.

The witty banter among the family as well as Chevy Chase's impeccable dry wit makes the film a venerable holiday classic for sure.

Epic Series

Three seasons in, and I am still enjoying it. There is a lot of intrigue around Eleven, and the Upside down. Though we are still waiting for season 2's side quest in the city to pay off, there are plenty of rewards for regular viewers.
With its great casting, epic cinematography, and all the 80s throwbacks, it's a great for all.
Just try and dislike those kids, I dare you.
It is tense, fun and witty, with some high stakes and great plot twists. Well worth a watch.
Thanks to a Smashbomb competition win, I now have a Demigorgan Funko Pop for my collection.
Almost as creepy as the real thing.
