Met the hype
Loved this book, it had a lot of hype around it and I had been worried about it living up to it. I read it without knowing what the book covered and was very touched. The book hits you emotionally and you find yourself hoping she rights the wrongs that have happened to her the best she can and hoping the people pay for the awful things they have done.

Oh dear this looked ok from the trailer. Thought it would be a mix of Liar, Liar with Bruce Almighty. Unfortunately it was no where near as funny as those two. In fact for a comedy apart from the main plot running through the film, it tries to be a bit too serious for a comedy. As a result not that much to laugh at here. I expected a lot better and was let down.

Unnecessary drama (0 more)
Much lower review than the other books because for Kelsey to like Shakespeare so much, she finds herself in that type of situation too often. Plus even though she "chose" and by not wanting to hurt people's feelings she is just hurting a lot of people. So, while I like the book it is like "being stuck in a bad soap opera". All it does is make her looks selfish.

Not What I Expected
I was really excited to see the movie, I guess I didn't realize it was a musical. This would have been wonderful without the music. The story line is amazing and it explained so much about the beginning of the circus. It's not horrible, but you do have to sit through a lot of singing.

Robin Hood (2018) updates the legend to The Fast & The Feudal #Review
Unnecessary? Yes. Historically inaccurate? Ridiculously so. Fun? Absolutely, you miserable bunch. 2018’s “Robin Hood” sets out to put a modern #OccupySherwood spin on the age-old tale of the redistribution of medieval wealth and taken on its own bonkers terms, there’s a lot of fun to have with this bombastic fast and feudal’ adventure yarn....

I been using Netflix for years. Since they was a DVD mail in company. I have always loved it. Lately it seems to not have as much stuff on. Also I keep hearing sometime this year they will be losing all disney content. So that means less choices, hopefully tere is done good shows or movies to replace the Disney. I do love a lot if the Netflix original movies and shows.

Fantastic
I absolutely loved this series. So much that I'm now reading the book just so I can make it last longer. The fact we're seeing stalking from the stalkers perspective is so chilling but addictive to watch. At quite a lot of points you could feel bad for Joe and in the end you are rooting for him because of his charming character. I am really hoping for a second series.
  
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.

The grand-daddy of deck builders!
Dominion is a great deck building game with many great expansions that add even more variety to the game. No two play sessions are the same! There is plenty of replayability. The only downside is figuring out how to organize and store everything as expansions are added to your collection.

Space travel is of no interest to me. I started watching this not knowing exactly what it was about and the first scenes drew me in. I liked the futuristic technology and the stories between the characters, particularly Tom Haggerty and his daughter. The amount of episodes should have been cut in half though, a lot of it was very long and drawn out where nothing much seems to happen, this spoilt it for me.
