A perfect start to a perfect set of movies!
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a perfect start to the Harry Potter series. The creators of the movie series really hit it out of the park with the kid stars in this one. Not only were they perfectly cast but they also grew into the roles.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone takes the gang on this magical journey that is very light-hearted and beautiful. This is the "brightest" of the movies and it does the heavy-lifting of setting up the entire series.

Amazing film
Don't be put off thinking this is just another cheesey chick flick, that would be an unjust insult. This is a very well made film with a great story of true love standing the test of time. The acting, score, cinematography and the 40's theme costumes and sets really show this is a very well produced film. It might be obvious from early on what is going to happen but it doesn't stop the journey being any less fun. If you liked the romance side of Titanic and Pearl Harbour you will like this a lot.

Enjoyment throughout Exceptional
This book and its following instalments kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. So much so i went out and got everything i could to do with it and i was not left with a sour taste. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Feyre's journey is something i have been happy to read and get lost in. Such beautiful descriptions and an amazingly captivating story. I just get lost in it and will continue to do so each time i re-read it because it mesmerises me and its an adventure all the way worthy a true legend.

This book is beautiful, so stunning from the cloth bound cover to the illustrations and card pages. It's so good I don't want anyone to touch it. The presentation is on point. The book is about loss, friendship and courage. The fox is guided by the star in the dense woods, with the stars illiumination the fox is able to run around eating bugs and chasing rabbits until one day the star is gone and everything is dark and scary. The fox must make a journey through the dark woods to find his star and leave his comfort zone.

Sometimes they do laugh a little too much at their own remarks but as the show is so entertaining, this isn't too much of a problem and you just find yourself thinking "oh shut up" rather than getting annoyed with it...

Amazing from the Start
From the very first episode starring a chimpanzee named David, this show has been another BBC and Attenborough gem. The entire story is shot beautifully by an experienced camera crew who spends years with the animals. Each episode focuses on a different family group in a different part of the world, giving viewers a glimpse into the group's inner-workings. No hardship or heartbreak is omitted, creating an emotional journey each episode. Each episode ends with a look into the real issues surrounding the conservation of the star species.
David McK (3676 KP) rated Invincible (The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier, #2) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The second book in 'The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier' spin-off from 'The Lost Fleet' series, with most of the same characters (so, in a way, the 7th book in the series).
Whereas the previous book primarily concerned the outbound portion of their mission (to investigate the extent of enigma - aliens discovered in the 'original' series - space), in this the fleet starts its journey home with the novel picking up almost directly from the end of that previous story.
They also don't (yet) make it all the way home - have to leave room for the next entry in the series, after all!

Hell ride
It's true that many of the men manning lighthouses when stark raving mad in their desolation and being so close with another person many did end up hating or falling in love with one another.
The lighthouse is influenced by 1930s cinema. It's black and white and filmed squarely. You can pause the screen at any point and the image is like an arty print. The acting is incredible and it all is imagined to represent the bleak dark cold wetness they live in.
Thus is a journey into madness.

Great movie
Contains spoilers, click to show
I love this movie it ties in true cajun culture and it goes to show that hard work really pays off to get what you dream of. Tianna is a hard working waitress who dreams of getting the restaurant her father always dreamed of to get for her. Naveen is a prince who us carefree and spoiled. They find love in each other on their adventure to be turned back into humans after naveen was messing with voodoo. They meet a gator named Louis and a firefly named ray that help them on their journey.
