Heartwarming
This take of a tribal chieftain's son who sets out with his father to become a man is very moving. The acting was great(you'll need subtitles to understand what's being said). The imagery and cinematography were amazing. This young boy learns so much more than he bargained for throughout his journey- survival, responsibility, self-esteem and an unlikely friendship. This one is for the whole family. Really worth a watch!
  
I love this series. It features former child star Jupiter Jones and his friends, Bob and Pete.
Jupiter decides to form a detective agency and puts Kristin Amanda Thomas to business shame by tricking his way into a meeting with Alfred Hitchcock, who is looking for a haunted house to shoot a movie in.

There are some nice creepy moments here and the friendship between the boys is a lot of fun.

Masterpiece
A great movie with great actors. Actors owned their characters. Isn't easy to believe that this is just a movie, and not some medieval documentary. A great story about a very important journey. Be prepared to embark on it with our characters, because it's very long. It has something to laugh about, something to cry about, something to think about. Story about trust, honor, friendship and love with a lot of fighting scenes.

Definitely the best was saved for last and is a film and end journey of Epic proportions.
Friendship and bravery and loyalty are presented to us wrapped in some of the best storytelling of all time, its scale is tremendous and contains battles that are not only bloody but evoke emotion.
It's a masterpiece and creates a great legacy that will be hard to beat and a viewing experience that rewards upon repeat viewing.

A study in relationships
A film most seem to love or hate. I'm right down the middle. It is a good film, well made and the scenes in and around Tokyo are well shot. It's basically about a friendship between unlikely people in an unlikely place. A bit slow for some, but if you like films about human character and different personalities you will like this.

An Adventure awaits
A tail of adventure and intrigue awaits. You follow a story of a journey that leads you far from the only place you have ever known. It is a tale of wonder and sorrow. It starts off slow but really picks up. It has a wonderful ending and shows the true meaning of friendship and loyalty. If you have never read this I would highly recommend it.

I'm currently level 45 and I adore this game! It is a bit repetetive but I don't mind.

The graphics are adorable, and they've been releasing more animals and doing fun events. Recently, clothes crafting and gardens were added, which made the game even better!


It's easy to play without spending any money. Overall I think this is a very cute, fun game and I plan on playing it for a long time.

Alice I Have Been

This fictional biography follows the life of Alice Liddell. Her childhood friendship with the adult Charles Dodgson gives him the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland. The writing was very descriptive, but I was very creeped out by the way their relationship was portrayed. It doesn't say anything unseemly happened, but it still really bothered me.

This was something wonderful. I teach us about friendship and forgiving. It also about finding a missing child. It show what the Amish do for each person or children even neighbor's children. It show the difference in English world and their world. I just love the story and plot behind it. This is the third in this series. I still need to read book number 2. I recommend this book those that love Amish or Beverley Lewis.

So this was a re-read because I was feeling nostalgic for high school when I didn't have to think about having a job. I loved this series in high school, even though I thought (and still think) Patch is a little creepy. There is just something about the writing that I loved. Also, I love Vee and Nora's friendship and all the twists and turns in the series. I am glad I gave this a re-read.
