I found this on Netflix and mistakenly thought it was a Netflix show. It's not the type of show I would normally watch, but something about the premise was intriguing. The first episode was amazing and it pulled me in. I tried to connect with the characters and because I enjoyed the pilot episode, I watched five more. But it started becoming really creepy and weird around the middle of the seasons. The episodes feel too long, even for a show that was originally on NBC and it felt like it should have started coming to a conclusion. I was going to watch the second season as well but I'm stopping at Episode 6 of Season 1. I read that the show was supposed to last six seasons, and it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I don't want to get involved in a show that may never have a resolution.I found this on Netflix and mistakenly thought it was a Netflix show.

I love pandas and the animation is cute, but this is a bad knockoff of King Fu Panda. Not that funny or clever, but worth a look anyway.

I really liked this movie. Sophia Loren was wonderful as always. Loved the mix of drama and comedy although aside from the main point of the movie, it's more drama than comedy but I laughed a lot. It skips around a lot in the beginning with flashbacks but it gets easier to follow as it goes along..I really liked this movie. Sophia Loren was wonderful as always.

I saw this ages ago when I was somewhat new to foreign films, so it didn't really resonate with me the way it does now. I have just come from a free screening of this movie at the Edmonds Theatre in Edmonds, WA to celebrate Bastille Day and I can honestly say that I love it.
I wish (Oh how I wish) that I understood enough French not to have to rely on the subtitles because alas, I felt like I was reading the subtitles more than I was watching the movie.
After a while, I really got into the storyline. It's adorable and funny and aside from some nudity (which I am sure is why this movie is Rated R), it had very little swearing (actually I don't remember any at all). I need to watch this movie a lot more often.
Amelie is absolutely adorable. I'd love to have her as a friend!I saw this ages ago when I was somewhat new to foreign films, so it didn't really resonate with me the way it does now.

This is a wonderful book for huge fans of the show. I don't really consider myself a huge fan, although I love the seasons with Dick York the best. The book itself feels a little tabloid-ish, but it has some great pictures and notes about the show. I'll probably check this out again in the future and read it more thoroughly, but for now it was nice to thumb through it.This is a wonderful book for huge fans of the show.

The problem with this book is that it skipped around too much, like the narrator suddenly remembered something completely unrelated and decided to throw it in. I couldn't connect to any of the characters and although I was hoping to be able to finish this one, I gave up around Page 50. I did read the ending out of curiosity and found that I wasn't really missing much.The problem with this book is that it skipped around too much, like the narrator suddenly remembered something completely unrelated and decided to throw it in.

I did not like this book at all. It was unhelpful and annoyingly repetitive. It was difficult to find any actual decluttering advice within all of the "stories" of the author's clients and the advice I did find was no different than any other books. When I read books about decluttering it helps me to take notes, but I didn't do that much here. There are much better books out there.I did not like this book at all.

At first I thought this was about the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC, but I was happy to see that it's actually about the gorgeous Banff Springs Hotel in Banff Alberta.
I've never stayed here, but I've visited a few times and had a wonderful Sunday brunch with my husband.
I really enjoyed watching this DVD. It was very well made and I loved the kids' narration. They went over almost every aspect of the hotel (including security) and it was interesting to see the day to day goings on and learn about the different departments. I liked that they not only showed summer at the hotel but winter as well.
It's a wonderful travel program and it packs a lot into 45 minutes. Even though it's geared toward kids, I loved it.At first I thought this was about the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC, but I was happy to see that it's actually about the gorgeous Banff Springs Hotel in Banff Alberta.

I love Lord Huron, but this isn't really a favorite. I loved Lonesome Dreams and Vide Noir, but this one seems kind of lackluster in comparison. Still it's good music and you can't go wrong with it.

I discovered this group in 2018 when TCM aired their annual (but sad) tribute to those who passed away and used the song "When The Night Is Over" from their Vide Noir CD. I fell in love with the song instantly and after buying the CD I fell in love with the rest of the songs.
I am glad the library has this one to check out because I absolutely love it. They have such a unique sound. I haven't listened to this one enough to memorize all of the songs, but there are a few that I already love. I'm going to buy a copy for myself eventually because I really hate to take it back!I discovered this group in 2018 when TCM aired their annual (but sad) tribute to those who passed away and used the song "When The Night Is Over" from their Vide Noir CD.

It was interesting to see all of the tributes to my favorite comic strip, but there was only one Charles Schulz and these can't really hold a candle to the original. Some are cute, some are kind of mean spirited, but they're all done in good faith.

I was totally prepared to hate this. I wasn't prepared to laugh and enjoy it. I credit Rob Reiner, Shirley MacClaine and Mark Ruffalo. I got almost all the way through it when I realized that I'd seen at least part of it before. Loved the scenes of Napa and Pasadena. Pretty good acting in this one. Enjoyed the banter between Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner even though their relationship wasn't very believable.I was totally prepared to hate this. I wasn't prepared to laugh and enjoy it.

The plot is completely stupid and ridiculous, but thanks to Steve Martin and Lilly Tomlin, the movie as a whole is pretty good. It's hilarious and sometimes heartfelt, especially toward the latter half.

I'm not into Westerns at all, but I watched this because it has so many great stars in it; Gregory Peck for one. The first 30 minutes or so were enjoyable and I really liked Jimmy Stewart's character, but then he just disappeared. It's a shame because found him the most interesting. The rest of the movie was really slow and not much happened. It really was just way too long. It was interesting toward the end how it morphed into more recent times, but I'm not going to watch this again.I'm not into Westerns at all, but I watched this because it has so many great stars in it; Gregory Peck for one.

At the risk of angering people, I really think they should have ended the series a lot sooner (like maybe when Dick York had to leave the show due to health problems). Don't get me wrong, I like Dick Sargent, but he didn't have the same charm as Darrin that Dick York had. Still it never really became stale over the course of its' long run so Dick Sargent has a lot to do with that.At the risk of angering people, I really think they should have ended the series a lot sooner (like maybe when Dick York had to leave the show due to health problems).
