Auburn (57 KP) rated As Old As Time in Books
Apr 10, 2019
This story is published by Disney and has the Disney feel. I loved the contrasting between hearing about Belle's parents and how everything came to be. It really completes the story. I can't recommend this book more for anyone who loves a classic with a twist. On that note I think I may reread it just for a feel good book!

A pretty decent sultry thriller directed by Brian DePalma. A jewel thief tries to cover her past but a chance photo of her alerts the people she has crossed before. Enjoyable if not quite a classic but I do like the ending and Rebecca Romijn suits the role to a T before her success as Mystique in the X-Men series.

I discovered Stewart Granger years ago in college, and this is by far one of my favorite films of his. If you enjoy a good Swashbuckler classic in the ways of say Errol Flynn, then you won't be disappointed. Full of fun, laughter and sword playing, this is a great film for all ages.

Donnie Yen has been a favourite for some time, and this film is an instant classic in a large circle of martial arts movies.
Its intense and well choreographed action and fight scenes put Yen front and centre, and it's about time he got the recognition he deserved and this extraordinary movie is a great showcase of his talent, a must watch!

Hidden classic
Growing up with this movie was brilliant they worked off each other perfectly it was overly goofy but you would expect no less from Carrey the joikes and skits were over the top but yet hilarious I'm glad I grew up with this quality of movie and we all wanted the van
Melissa (4 KP) rated The Secret Garden in Books
Jan 20, 2018
I love this children's classic. Mary Lennox is sent from India to Misselthwait Manor where she meets Dickon the brother of Martha, one of the house maids, and Colin, the son of the owner of Misselthwait . Mary and Dickon find the secret garden that has been locked for many years and bring it back to life. This story is touching and captivating.
The only collection of the classic comic strip that isn't a home run. I think he was just sitting on what he had already created a little too much. It's still fun, but it's definitely not the best of the strip.

Lumos (380 KP) rated Catan in Tabletop Games
Mar 14, 2018
This is a classic table top game. My friends and I don't get to play it much but if you are introducing someone to tabletop games, this might be a good one to start with. The rules are pretty simple to follow and the available actions on your turn are limited so there isn't too much for them to make decisions on.
Sean Farrell (9 KP) rated Reconstructing Amelia in Books
Mar 15, 2018
A mix of clichés from a couple different genres that still somehow manages to be highly engaging. It's unlikely it will ever be considered a classic, but it will certainly make for a great summer beach read. I can't say I had the ending figured out either, which is good for any mystery. Be forewarned that it is a bit of a downer.
