Very good film, I have watched it a couple of times. I think it is supposed to be slightly in the future but it could actually be present day because it is based about living your life on social media and posting everything and I mean everything and the company that runs the software like Facebook. It is alarming real life as it shows how quick someone can be found via social media and it is a scary thought. Certainly thought provoking.

Eleanor Oliphant - social misfit
Honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read! Eleanor Oliphant is the best heroine ever! I just really identified with her as a socially awkward, slightly anti social woman. The difference is that I have autism and she’s that way due to her mother. I’m not going to go into that though, read it!
The end sort of petered out but it’s definitely a book that I would read again.

This game is a must-buy for anyone who enjoys action-adventure games. It is the same game we all love from the first three entries in the series, yet with many updates (including the new leveling system, and social system). The new leveling system drives you to want to make good progress more quickly, and the new social system gives players rewards for sticking with a particular weapon, for example. Overall, a very good game.

Incredibly well written book proving Rowling's giftedness and diversity.
A brutal social commentary illustrating the complex issues surrounding class and problems that society doesn't know how to deal with. It reveals the selfish way humans attempt to shroud themselves protectively in ignorance, clinging to the pleasantries we manufacture in pretence that poverty, suffering and social malaise are not only a stones throw away.
Expect to be taken out of your comfort zone and confronted with stark reality exposing attitudes and prejudices within society and ourselves.
