looking for movie suggestions to rent or watch on demand
Comments (72)Bumblebeez - whenever I happen upon Last of the Mohicans while channel flipping I stop immediately and watch it again. It gets me every time. Last night it was on AMC - Story Notes, an AMC feature where they insert captions at the bottom of the screen with brief 'notes' about the film. It's the first time I watched one - the notes were interesting the first time, but I wouldn't want to see it that way again. But I discovered you can simply read a list of the trivia on AMC's web site. Here is a link that might be useful: AMC Story Notes - Last of the Mohicans...See MorePlease suggest books / series for young boy
Comments (24)Does that make him 2nd grade? I agree that Magic Tree House books are very popular. I also agree they are sort of boring. They are excellent for first independent chapter books, 1st and 2nd grade. But if he reads even a little above that level, they will not be challenging. They are not the kind of books anyone would want to read more than once. And not the kind that parents and kids would enjoy reading together. I cannot read them with my kids, can't stay awake long enough. ;o) I just don't care for the writing. However, kids do love them. At the book fairs, they fly off the shelves. There are non-fiction companion books with them and the author has recorded them herself on CD. I also agree Harry Potter should wait a couple years. The first one is much easier and lighter than the rest. So a kid that is just old enough for the first is too young for the rest. Me, I'd get him 2-3 nice Shel Silverstein books. Those are great for a 7 y/o and will be enjoyed for years, real keepers, and parents and kids love to read them together. The Silverstein books we have are among my kids' favorites even as they get older. They make great gifts. Here is a link that might be useful: shelsilverstein.com for some excerpts from different books...See MoreSuggestions for a good series ?
Comments (23)Yes Colleen! Good mention. I've read 2 of them and enjoyed Falco. What scrapes he finds himself a part of. Most of my top 10 favorite series have been mentioned. Copied several new ones. Yipee. These are from my 2nd top 10. I haven't found it necessary to read them in order. John Burdett - Sonchai Jitpleecheep books (Bangkok 8) (a little more irreverence) Tarquin Hall - Vish Puri (portly Indian detective who seeks ways to thwart the diet his wife insists upon) (cozy) Deryn Lake - apothecary John Rawlings (Georgian murder mysteries with Sir John Fielding) (cozy) (preferred Bruce Alexander's series with Sir John Fielding - blinded London magistrate in the 1700's) H.R.F. Keating - Inspector Ganesh Ghote One of my most loved: Tony Hillerman's books. Veer, we did get the Cadfael series. The books had a quality that wasn't captured by that series. IMO. I watched 2 or 3 episodes and found them claustrophobic. For a change of pace after some heavy reading I just finished a "good romp" with Lady Georgiana Rannoch in 'Heirs and Graces' by Rhys Bowen. (very cozy). Quite different from Maisie Dobbs but pleasant bedtime stuff....See MoreMovies I’ve liked recently (not recent movies)
Comments (87)Last night I watched Selma (free rental on Amazon Prime and YouTube). We're discussing it in a Zoom class today and I'd left it till the last minute. I was totally unprepared for its impact. Some of it was difficult to watch but I needed to see this. I went through a lot of Kleenex....See Moresheilajoyce_gw
