Childhood Revisited
I have really enjoyed the series thus far. It brings a bit of nostalgia mixed with SciFi that just melts the heart a little bit. The sound track is fantastic and fits the series very well. Acting is good! A well rounded cast really brings life to the normalcy of 80's and not so normal upside down!

Story of how Walt Disney got Mary poppins made. It not on that story but goes into why travers didn't want the book made into a movie and why she was so protective over the Mary poppins character. This story not only goes into the making of the classic movie but into travers childhood. Not what I expected but very well made . Also Tom hanks was amazing as Walt Disney at times I literally thought it was Walt on screen
In this well remembered picture book from my childhood, detective Donald is hired to help Mickey find out who is stealing the peanuts from the zoo shed every night. He goes through some rather fun tangents on his way to the real culprits. I loved this as a kid, my niece loves it now, and I enjoyed rereading it to her.

For a movie a based on a true story its not a bad movie about three friends since childhood who save the lives of not only theirs and there fellow train passengers from a lone terrorist on route to paris. The movie starts slow as we see there lives leading up too that fateful day all three of them play themselves which is only right no else could have played well clint eastwood directs with his usual style. Deffo watch again

Dull eyes
What a shame the original film is such a classic from my childhood. Quite dark in tone with a great voice cast and score. Sadly it's what this version is lacking.
Going for a more realistic look for the rabbits tends to make them look expressionless and without any emotion. Although the cast list is impressive the voice acting is poor when compared to the original. It's way too long as well at over 3 hours. Stick with the original.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book contains discussions of childhood sexual abuse This is a very tense, well-plotted thriller that managed to surprise me quite a few times! It's the story of two men, Jakob in 1973 and Matthew in 2014. Both deal in some pretty gruesome murders and their fates are linked when a mummified corpse is discovered.

Firstly, this was the second time I have read this book, having read it during my childhood. I decided to re-read it in honor of the new movie. I find myself liking this story mostly out of nostalgia. It is a fun adventure and I enjoy the characters and scientific theme. It is a short fun book well worth a read. One of these days I will get around to reading the rest of the books in the series.

Childhood revisited
Glen A Larson cashing in on the Star Wars explosion with this TV spin off. The A Team's Dirk Benedict and Lorne Greene from Bonanza were the 2 main stars until Richard Hatch as Apollo took over and became the main man. Still think the space ships were better than the X Wings from Star Wars, but never really loved it unlike Star Wars.
