Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Inside Out (2015) in Movies
Sep 18, 2017
A delightful concept
This wonderful Pixar animation was hailed for its exploration into the human mind in the eyes of how a child may imagine it. Characters that represent human emotion work together to make up the decision-making faculties of a person.
In this case, a young girl named Riley is facing an emotional upheaval over her parent's arguments and separation. The concept is ingenious, and important for children in the same position, explaining it in a way that is engaging.
At times the adventure side of the happy and sad characters are little over the top, but it's a beautiful film for trying to explore a tough subject.

Yes, it is challenging..
I know a few people that gave up on this one.. while I have reread it multiple times.. The author challenges the reader in multiple ways. I honestly loved the fact that by the end you almost felt like you were also on the edge of sanity.. you are witnessing the building insanity in the main character, all due to the ravings of a mad man.. Now, if you happen to have POE'S album Haunted, play it while you read.. she wrote the music while he wrote the book... It brings a unique sense of continuity.

Jennifer Daniell (108 KP) rated Eden (The Eden Trilogy, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2018
I loved this book. LOVED. One of my top reads in the past couple years for sure. I received it for free after winning a Goodreads giveaway. I don't want to give anything away so I will be general in my review. The concept/plot are unique but believable. The characters were really well rounded and relatable. You are immediately sucked in to their world. This was so much better than a lot of the dystopian books that are being pumped out right now. I love that it could stand alone as well as being the first installment of a trilogy. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
Micah Ulibarri (79 KP) rated Primal Heart by Kimbra in Music

This is a good album. It snuckup on me one day during a long drive, and I ended up listening to all of it.
While it does miss a certain WOW factor most of the songs are very good. The sound mostly blends current dance and pop music with a pop sound that reminds me a little more of 90s pop.
Some stand out tracks would be Recovery (which I can't stop listening to) and Top of the World, which is actually a bit off the beaten path when compared to the other songs on the album.
All in all it kept me listening.

A great game in so many ways
I've been playing Age of Sigmar since its release and it is a great table top wargame. Combines that fantasy feel with classic Warhammer grim darkness. Whether it's modelling, painting or playing this game has something for everyone. It's also a great way to get out and meet people at clubs and events linked to the hobby. One day you could even find yourself on the competitive scene either playing in Grand Tournaments at Warhammer World or entering the Golden Daemon painting competition.
Great for all ages and abilities.
Would recommend.

Easy and fast to learn, accessible to kids (3 more)
Addictive gameplay
A game lasts only a few minutes
Easily transportable and playable on the go
A lovely card game
Love Letter is a slightly bizarre but innovative card game that consists of only 16 cards. At its current price, this may seem expensive, but is likely countered by the hours of fun that may be had. When you are looking for a simple but mildly strategic game to play with friends or family, this game should be at the top of your list. It perhaps doesn't have great staying power, but as a small filler game, this is my favourite.
Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Titanic (1997) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019 (Updated Jun 10, 2019)
Titanic was an absolute breakthrough for director James Cameron, swooping 11 Oscars at the 1998 awards. To this day, it remains the third highest grossing film of all time, recently pushed down from second by Avengers: Endgame. Starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, a lot has been said about the film’s over reliance on the central love triangle.
Watching it again over 20 years later still showcases Titanic’s incredible special effects, emotional plot and stunning cinematography and sound design. This disaster film is the biggest of all time and it’s easy to see why, despite the, at times, flabby story.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Finding Nemo (2003) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
One of Pixar’s best films, Finding Nemo features exquisite animation and beautiful vocal performances wrapped in a rich and emotionally engaging storyline. From vibrant coral reef to polluted city harbour, the use of different areas really helps the film come alive and also showcases just what humans are doing to our beautiful planet.
Followed up by a rather disappointing sequel, Finding Dory, in 2015, Nemo proves even more so today that less really is more. If you haven’t managed to catch this future classic yet, then do so as soon as you can. You won’t regret it.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Father of the Bride (1991) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
It wouldn’t be a wedding article without some mention of Father of the Bride. Starring Steve Martin, this 1991 romantic comedy has become one of the classics of the genre, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a sweet, sentimental rom-com that oozes re-watch value. The wedding itself is just as classy, set in a beautiful church, with Kimberly Williams’ Annie wearing a simple lace gown. Plus, there’s always Steve Martin’s brilliant speech, which is sure to bring a smile to your face no matter how many times you pop the DVD in.
