Kate (355 KP) rated Ravenhill - Hidden Mystery in Apps

Mar 21, 2019

It is quite good, the story line is quite interesting, there are lots of games out there like this where you have to find objects in various scenes to build a collection and progress through the story. It is very similar to another one but the good thing about this is that is is not just hidden object but mixes it up with puzzle levels too. It is quite easy though because I have managed to progress through the game and now on level 14 without losing a life. I will keep playing it though to see where it goes.

Great cast (0 more)

Heartwarming Rom-com

One of the best Rom-com's in recent years. Not full of laughs throughout, it does have it's more serious and dramatic parts along the way. It does have a great cast with Renolds, the 3 female leads and a good performance by Abigail Breslin as Reynolds daughter. A good story largely told in retrospective segments as a father tells his daughter of his 3 main loves in his life, to see if she can work out which one was her mother. A class above most Rom-coms, with aspects similar to The Notebook and Serendipity!

Blue by The Jayhawks

Track

"Second choice is a band out of, I believe, the Minneapolis area that I saw out here in Los Angeles recently. I love these guys. They’re called The Jayhawks and they have a song called “Blue”. And that was actually featured in the other movie I did, which is called The Hammer, a million years ago. I just love that song. It’s just such a tender, beautiful song, and it inspired me in a certain point of my life, just to really sit back and try to assess my life. It’s one of those songs: put it on, light a candle, dim the lights, and just sit there and give life a good going over in your skull, while you listen to Jayhawk’s “Blue”."

Poor ending which didn't fit the film (0 more)

Ok... Apart from the ending

This seems a bit of an indie film but actually has a good cast line up. Britt Robertson is the main character and likable even when her character isn't at times. She blogs her life and mainly her relationships she goes through. It isn't a particularly light hearted film and raises a lot issues on many deep subjects. Overall it was an interesting film but the final few minutes didn't make any sense with what went before. It just didn't fit with the rest of the film. Worth checking out.

MaryAnn (14 KP) rated Lewis on the Christian Life: Becoming Truly Human in the Presence of God in Books

Mar 5, 2019

Synopsis: C.S. Lewis excelled at plumbing the depths of the human heart, both the good and the bad, the beautiful and the corrupt. From science fiction and fantasy to essays, letters, and works of apologetics, Lewis has offered a wealth of insight into how to live the Christian life.

In this book, Rigney explores the center of Lewis’s vision for the Christian life—the personal encounter between the human self and the living God. In prayer, in the church, in the imagination, in our natural loves, in our pleasures and our sorrows, God brings us into his presence so that we can become fully human: alive, free, and whole, transformed into the image of Jesus Christ.

My Thoughts: This is a book that takes a look into the life of C.S. Lewis; author of many books that readers have come to love. This is a wonderful book for those who enjoy reading C.S. Lewis' books as it gives an idea to the reader the thoughts and insights in his writings.

This is a good book for those who want to become acquainted with Mr. Lewis and will certainly want to go back and read his books again.

Iam certain that readers will enjoy this book.
