Review: "The Shadow of Your Smile" by Susan May Warren

Review by *Ariel for The Librarian's Bookshelf

Sometimes love requires a little forgetting.

A beautiful blanket of snow may cover the town of Deep Haven each winter, but it can’t quite hide the wreckage of Noelle and Eli Hueston’s marriage. After twenty-five years, they’re on the brink of divorce when an accident erases part of Noelle’s memory. Though her other injuries are minor, she doesn’t remember Eli, their children, or the tragedy that has ripped them apart.

Film And DVD Reviews by Phil Boatwright

Liam Neeson, Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney, Dallas Roberts. Action/thriller. Written by Joe Carnahan and Ian MacKensie Jeffers. Directed by Joe Carnahan. 1/27/12

FILM SYNOPSIS: A shocking, heart-pounding saga at the intersection of Moby Dick and Jaws, The Grey concerns a planeload of ordinary men stranded in the wilderness and pitted against impossible conditions and even more nightmarish predators. Set in the frozen mountains of Alaska, a pack of angry, snarling wolves doggedly pursue their human prey while the men work out their relationships and issues with each other.

Review: "Ash II Shadows" - iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad

Reviewed by Working Man Gamer for FamilyFriendlyGaming

SCORE: 73/100

No one here at Family Friendly Gaming had heard of Ash before. After playing Ash II Shadows a couple of us plan on rectifying that. This role playing game continues where the last one left off. A group of characters is chasing down their Magistrate. They learn secrets of the past, as well as more about the evil magic corruption.

Thursday, 26 January 2012 01:06


Light can be divided. Sir Isaac Newton studied light and discovered that white light is made of seven colors, which can be "parted" and then recombined. Science confirmed this four centuries ago - God declared this four millennia ago!

Job 38:24 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

Reviewed by Yolanda for FamilyFriendlyGaming

SCORE: 83/100

It has been my pleasure to play and review numerous hidden object games. There is something fun about finding hidden items inside a picture. The Princess Case A Royal Scoop is in that vein but vastly different from what I am used to. First off, The Princess Case A Royal Scoop has a very clean look to it. Real looking rooms are presented in this iPad, and iPhone/iPod Touch game. They do not look all cluttered like other hidden object games.

Review: "Time of Heroes" - iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch

Reviewed by Paul for FamilyFriendlyGaming

SCORE: 78/100

I have always been a fan of the turn based strategy role playing games. All the way back to Shining Force. Which is the stick I use to measure all games in this genre. Time of Heroes obviously learned some things from past games, and it has brought some interesting new concepts to the genre. The most important thing is the realistic sounding story. Your people have come to a new land, and are just trying to survive. Like the Pilgrims in the Americas.

This has been an Order Up month. First we find out that Order Up is coming to the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation 3, and then we find out this franchise is out on the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad. Order Up To Go is a universal build, and it is free. Yes you heard right - FREE! But wait how does Chillingo earn money? Well you can purchase additional restaurants. If you are patient you can build up to earn them.

Sanctified music in America has no greater voice over the past two decades than Kirk Franklin, the native Texan who revolutionized the gospel choir, and single-handedly brought Contemporary Gospel music to forward-thinking R&B radio programmers. In the process, this visionary singer, musician, songwriter, arranger, producer – and of course, choir director – has amassed 18 RIAA gold and platinum records, 10 of which went to #1 on the Billboard Gospel Charts. For his work, he has earned seven Grammy Awards® (five of which were for Best Album in all three major Gospel categories), 12 Gospel Music Association (GMA) Dove Awards, and 35 Stellar Awards, the most won by any artist.

Reviewed by Frank for FamilyFriendlyGaming

SCORE: 90/100

Generally gamers look at DLC's in two different ways. The first camp absolutely loves them because for a few dollars they get additional content to their favorite games. The other camp sees it as a way to fleece the consumers. Family Friendly Gaming falls somewhere in the middle of the two camps. Some of us are into DLC's, and others are not so big on them.
