Kevin Phillipson (10017 KP) rated Initiation (2020) in Movies
Oct 23, 2021
Just watched on amazon prime another of those so so slashers I've seen this week interesting plot some good kills but could have done without all those text messages on the screen just got to distracting and took too long to get to the first kill like half an hour an hour into the film overall could have been better film
Susan (45 KP) rated Get Out (2017) in Movies
Jun 29, 2017
Loved the creepy, tense, out of place feel from the main character's perspective (1 more)
Lots of deeper messages and metaphors to look out for
Modern day Stepford Wives with one hell of a twist
Great Movie! Not at all what I expected. The comedy was well timed and helped to lighten the otherwise extremely uncomfortable atmosphere (which I loved).

Mindy Kaling's whipsmart script
The Pretty Woman wears Prada.
A cracking script lifts this tale of a caustic Late Night talk show host above the ordinary. Full review on One Mann's Movies is here - https://bob-the-movie-man.com/2019/06/16/one-manns-movies-film-review-late-night-2019/
Salman Rushdie recommended The Sirens of Titan in Books (curated)

Rolling Stone's 394th greatest album of all time
Easy listening (if you ignore the lyrics!) album, though it has to be said it just sounds like the Toy Story soundtrack (specifically "Strange Things" from the film). As a loose concept album about a deep South character, some of the lyrics and messages are a little strong for the laidback style (most notably on the opener Rednecks).
Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Dear Haiti, Love Alaine in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of Dear Haiti, Love Alaine from Harlequin TEEN (US Canada) through Netgalley.
I seriously love Alaine. I'd love to read more about her.
The story is told through school reports, news, articles and text messages and is a bit jarring at first but the storytelling makes up for it.
It's got family secrets and a curse and a witty protagonist that made me want to cheer.

Snap-notthis k
This is my honest opinion.
It is not great. I see all the teenagers using it, my son included, and I can see the amazement. Funny filters, disappearing messages, stories etc.
But I don't feel safe using it. I feel vulnerable to bullys. This isn't an app I will let my son use in the future. It hides a multitude of sins, and that is not OK

Customisable faces (5 more)
Wide range of compatible apps and phones
Notifications across all my social media
Looks stylish
Can reply to messages, whether its email, text or whatsapp. Using voice commands as well as keyboard
Bluetooth signal is good
Battery doesnt last that long if you use the watch a lot. (2 more)
Sometimes it can be a bit slow
Small touch screen can be tricky to use.
Stylish design decent smartwatch
Ive been after a smartwatch for a while and they are quite expensive. I managed to get one for around £50, on average they seem to be between £70-£250
I wanted a smartwatch that i could see messages and reply to them when i did not have access to my phone. I was given a fitbit charge which only enables me to see text messages. The moto 360 however, can be linked to all social media. While in range of my phone, I can get notifications from text messages, whatsapp, email, instagram etc, and also reply. I especially like the feature of recording a voice message on the watch which it converts and sends as a text message. It is much simpler and faster than trying to use the keyboard, which can be a bit chunky till you get used to it. I love the customisable faces. Facer and watchmaker are 2 of the best apps for downloading or creating new watch faces. The range is endless. The screen is very clear and sharp. I did have a small problem, I thought Id damaged the pixels on the screen. Searching online said there was no hope, then one day i switched it on and it had just vanished. This was lucky for me, as they are not that easy to fix. Even attempting to change the straps on the watch can break the back plate.
There are plently of smartwatches out there that can do the same as the 360, but i really do like the watch. Its less expensive and functions really well.

Tate (25 KP) rated The Greatest Showman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Original Soundtrack / Various Artists in Music
Jun 28, 2018 (Updated Jun 28, 2018)
Breath taking!
This musical is amazing! The characters are complex and relatable and the music connects to your very soul. A fun, family friendly movie with great messages about the important things in life.
The story follows P.T. Barnum and how he created the circus as we know it today. The entire film makes you feel like you are a kid again, experiencing an amazing show for the first time. It's definitely magical!
