One of our regular trips on weekends or during my free time on weekdays will be to the library.
When I was young, I didnt really have the time to read and probably didnt really enjoy reading. I love books for the colours, but not for the words.
So now that I am a mum and a teacher, I know the wonderful benefits to reading and the importance of exposing my children to them and hopefully, I can encourage them to enjoy reading.
So anyway, here's Caleb listening to daddy as he reads a Chinese book to him.
This was one of the few moments where he would sit still and listen..Most of the time, since he is so active, he would wander off once he finds something more interesting to play with.

Great action packed movie with many characters. Great diverse cast!(8.1/10
Great perspective about the death of Jesus Christ, focusing on the Roman soldier's point of view and story. Watched it twice!(6.7/10))
An inspiring and hilarious comedy about determination and courage. However, wouldnt recommend for children below age of 15 because of the crude language.(6.8/10)
CGI is excellent. Great message about teamwork, courage and friendship. Action-packed(7.1/10)
Hilarious and entertaining. Great message as well.(6.8/10)
Didnt enjoy it as it doesnt make sense to see two good guys fighting each other, in my opinion. Too much destruction as well.A forgettable movie.(6.2/10)
This crime thriller is based off the infamous 2008 Noida Double Murder Case, in which a teenage girl and her family's servant were murdered. A crime investigator was tasked to solve it. This movie shows the society and system of the country. Enjoyable.(7.8/10)
Initially, I thought this would be too bloody for my liking. However, you are reminded that this is the wild and they really captured the adventure and spirit of survival here in this movie. Makes you feel like you are a part of this as they take you in a wild adventure with amazing sceneries.(8.2/10)
The highlight for me in this show was to see the old stars like Harrison Ford. Again, this show makes me feel old. It was also amazing that the storyline is quite easy to follow and it takes you on an amazing adventure ride on the falcon! Its definitely nostalgic, powerful and entertaining!(8.6/10)
I feel I have aged when I watched this show as you see Sylvester and it takes you immediately to the Rocky Movies. Really enjoyed this very much. If you loved Rocky, you will love this!(8.1/10)
Wouldnt miss this for the world. Am a sucker for such shows. Nice to see Mike Tyson on screen. HOowever, this show is not the usual fighting-in-the-boxing-ring kind of shows that you get from previous Ip Man shows or Karate kid. This movie was more about relationships than the fight itself. Still enjoyed it since it has a great message!(7.8/10)
A smart, thrilling and funny movie about a man's survival in mars. Guess survival movies seem to be a hit in theatres! Loved this to the max! (8.6/10)

Such mountain climbing shows always gives you adrenaline.Very entertaining but brutal experience though. So watch out!(6.8/10)
If you like cooking, you will like this show. However, it is predictable. Still enjoyed it!(6.4/10)
A psychological drama about sport, wealth, lost manhood, mother issues and murder. Cold and unsettling(7.1/10)
A story of Noni, the music world's latest superstar-about finding her own voice and breaking free to become the artist she was meant to be.(7.9/10)

Strange things begin to happen when a group of friends gather for a dinner party on an evening when a comet is passing overhead. Very thrilling movie that will definitely keep you at the edge of the seat. Catch it if you like an interesting plot and love thrilling movies! (7.3/10)
Caught this show only because the ratings were super high and the story is about music. Comments also said the songs were nice. I regretted every bit of it! To me, it was super strange, weird, quirky and meaningless! It must be the weirdest show I have ever seen. Don't waste your time! But if you are curious, then go ahead but don't say I didn't warn you. (I won't even bother to rate this)
Not sure why the ratings for this show is high. In my honest opinion, it is a waste of time as it is a story about a guy whose car got stolen and he went all out to track down the people who stole his car ending up with lots of bloody scenes. It is definitely entertaining, Watch it if you are curious! (6.7/10)
This show inspired me to improve my cooking skills and to continue doing what I love- cook!! A refreshing show indeed! (8.1/10)
This show reminds me of my love for music and songwriting. This is a must watch show for all music lovers! (8.2/10)

A touching show about two teenagers who has cancer and their relationship together. Cried buckets in this show because it was so sweet! (8.1/10)
A Sci-Fi thriller about a researcher on Artificial Intelligence which ended up allowing him to play god through his works. Quite far-fetched and characters not properly developed. (6.1/10)

A friendship between an ex-con and a boy he met! A gripping drama well actored by Nicholas Cage! (8.3/10)
An emotional Japanese film about the life of a father and his son who was switched at birth. Remarkable story that will impact parents! (8.4/10)
An amazing sci-fi show about a guy spent 3 years on the moon. The whole show is practically all about him but its not boring at all. In fact, it is so intriguing and captivating. Initially, it may be a little slow moving but the layering of this show is so good, it just gets better and better as the show progresses. Worth catching!! (8.9/10)
A great balance of action, number of characters and humour all packed in it! Loved it and cant wait for the sequel where Apocalypse surfaces! (9.0/10)
Love its suspense and thrills! Liam Neeson once again delivered as this show will keep you guessing. Of course, don't expect anything much from its ending. Still, a great ride not to be missed! (7.7/10)
A show that is watchable but nothing to shout about, though Kevin Costner is in it. This show is based on a character by Tom Clancy's book. Not very engaging and thrilling. Could do with a better actor to play Jack Ryan. (6.2/10)
Nostalgic but lacks the emotional factor of Robocop! More can be developed and improved but nevertheless, still entertaining.(6.9/10)
This is an excellent true story about the explosion of the space shuttle and its investigations. You have to watch this intriguing drama that will definitely keep you entertained! (8.9/10)

This show is based on a true story about a journalist who went in search for an woman's son, who was taken away from her decades ago after she became pregnant and was forced to live in a convent. Equal parts of tearjerker as well comedy. A great movie on forgiveness! Highly recommended for all to see! (7.9/10)
A movie about the future where a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet.A train that travels around the globe via a perpetual-motion engine was built. This movie is about what goes on in the train. A very violent and bleak outlook on humanity and social stratification. Interesting show not to be missed. (7.4/10)
A great animated film enjoyed by all ages. My children both enjoyed it so much. Great story about forgiveness and unity. Very enjoyable! (7.6/10)
An action packed movie with lots of blood. Nothing great. Just OK.(6.3/10)
An enjoyable musical about the tale of two sisters. Very creative and humorous. Would recommend it! (7.9/10)
A story of a day-dreamer who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action.This movie strikes an incredible balance between indy/art-house and Hollywood epic. It is entertaining and funny but rather silly because of his crazy imaginations.(7.1/10)
A stellar performance by Meryl Streep in this show about a dysfunctional family of strong-willed women. It is very melodramatic so be prepared to watch a movie with not much action. A movie definitely not for everyone as it can be exhausting.(7.0/10)
A Woody Allen show about a woman who used to be on the top of the heap as a New York socialite, but now is returning to her estranged sister utterly ruined. As Jasmine struggles with her haunting memories of a privileged past bearing dark realities she ignored, she tries to recover in her present! It's a good movie but not excitingly great.(7.1/10)
A very funny film that will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera! Aside from the main actors, the film is done by hidden cameras so the response is outrageous and its like watching reality prank shows all put into a movie! Very hilarious but crude though. Watch this if you want a good laugh! (6.8/10)
A very emotional and brutal film about a New York State citizen who was kidnapped and made to work on a plantation in New Orleans in the 1800s!A tale of suffering, endurance, courage and abiding humanity. Don't miss this!(9.1/10)
A very delightful and entertaining movie about a man who falls in love with his computer's highly advanced operating system. It's a very creative film that is well written. A definite must-see if you are into computers!(8.9/10)
Interesting movie about a guy whose work is to break into prisons to test its security. What is more interesting is watching Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger coming together for this film. Quite far-fetched I must say but nevertheless, entertaining and thrilling(6.8/10)
A stellar cast of old time actors in this movie about four old friends who decide to throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single! Catch it if you enjoy Robert De Niro, Kevin Kline, Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas all in the same show and if you love Hangover type of movies. I watched it mainly for the cast. (6.5/10)
A fictional film set in the alluring world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock our nation,Not sure why there were so many great reviews for this movie! Just thought it was just alright and overrated. Not a must-see show in my opinion. I only watched it for the great cast!(6.8/10)

Lee Daniels' The Butler is a well crafted drama that tells the story of Cecil Gaines, a butler who works in the White House and witnesses key moments through several administrations.By contrast, this star-packed drama uses a true story to trace the Civil Rights struggle from the 1950s to the present day. Definitely worth watching!(8.1/10)
This is a terrific and fascinating true life film not to be missed. Tom Hanks did a stellar performance which made the great film even better! You wont regret seeing this!(8.3/10)
A violent and cheesy show that I will not recommend anyone to watch. Skip this if you can. (5.2/10)
This is such an entertaining and hilarious movie. The relationship between McCarthy and Bullock is spot on and makes the film definitely worth watching! (7.4/10)
A brisk and fun stand-alone adventure that again blends in clever nods to familiar Greek mythology. The story's all-too generic quest narrative is muddled rather than engaging. (6.2/10)
2 Guns is that rare popcorn flick that succeeds at being fun and breezy, and features just enough twists to entertain without getting too complicated.Great pairing of Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington (two charismatic actors of different styles) that made it entertaining! (7.5/10)

This show is about 4 illusionists who pull off a series of daring heists against corrupt business leaders during their performances, showering the stolen profits on their audiences while staying one step ahead of the law.

Watched this with the children. Very cute and entertaining film for the whole family. Great wit and animation! (7.1/10)
An interesting sci-fi movie about a man's mission to save humanity. I enjoyed this show because it has an interesting storyline and great visuals. (7.1/10)
I am a sucker of action heroes but this one was rather disappointing! The fighting scenes were all over the place and I felt superman was not protrayed well as he seemed to have done more damage than saving lives. (6.4/10)
Eye-catching animation and non-stop jokes make this animated monster movie a lot more fun than we expect. Entertaining for the whole family!(7.5/10)

Enjoyed this show very much for its adventure and grandeur. Visually stunning! Cant wait for the sequel (8.1/10)

It is visually astonishing with all its cool technology. Very entertaining. However, the story line is kind of silly. In any case, watch it for its action and visual effects.(7.1/10)
End of Watch is a riveting action thriller that puts audiences at the center of the chase like never before.What I enjoyed about the film was that it had a hand held found footage angle to the cinematography. Although some may hate that aspect of the movie because it may give them a headache, but I thought it added a touch of realism, and puts you right in the action. Love the show as it makes you discover more about the life of a police. Watch it if you do not mind vulgarity.(8.0/10)
A futuristic action thriller with an interesting plot. Read up so much about the movie before watching it but still left me clueless after the show of what exactly happened. A show which I will never totally understand and will leave you with questions and something to talk about. Personally, didn't enjoy it as much as reading about it.(6.5/10)
A very entertaining, action-packed movie. Loved every part of it. Its unrealistic but exciting. Wouldnt miss it if you enjoyed the first sequel.(7.2/10)

Great effects from this movie. Also enjoyed Charlize Theron's acting as usual. Quite enjoyable but forgettable.(6.6/10)
A typical war , propaganda type of movie made for the guys. Watch it only for its action and appreciate it for real bullets were used in the making of this movie. Other than that, its just a recruitment poster.(6.4/10)
Surprisingly, I enjoyed this show despite it being amusingly childish for some. This show reminded me of the nostalgic shows I used to watch like "Honey I shrunk the kids". Watch it from the eyes of a child and you will be amazed by its charm and simplicity!(6.3/10)
One of those comical, romance American Pie kind of movies where there are parties and crushes. The kind of movies I like when I do not want to use my mind to think and just need some time off to relax and enjoy a comedy.(6.3/10)
A predictable and common type of film about criminals holding hostages in a house. Watch it only if you have time to waste..(6.1/10)
A sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars).John Carter is for fans of pure, joyous, escapist, adventure cinema. The movie gets more interesting towards the end. (6.7/10)
'Safe House' isn't extraordinary. But it's a safe bet for those who enjoy 'Bourne'-type espionage movies! I admit I watched it for Denzel Washington. (6.9/10)

An enjoyable and touching film about a father struggling to bring the family together and overcoming difficulties. Great storyline. Highly recommended for the whole family! (7.2/10)
Watched this because there were so many great actors in this show. Didnt expect much as the reviews were not good. However, its a light hearted film which was surprisingly enjoyable despite the bad reviews. A movie with hope for the new year.(6.4/10)
It's like watching a Nicholas Spark novel-sweet, romantic story about a newlywed couple recovering from a car accident that puts the wife in a coma.

Silly movie. Watched it on board the plane. Glad I didn't waste money watching it in the theatre.(4.9/10)

A beautifully designed adventure movie about the journey of a boy as he searches for a living tree! A very colourful film which I am sure any children will enjoy. I enjoyed the message behind this film as well as the narration and songs. Moreover, I will never miss any Dr Seuss show as I am sure it will be imaginative and creative. Definitely worth seeing with your children!(7.4/10)
The Iron Lady is a surprising and intimate portrait of Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep), the first and only female Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. Meryl Streep's acting is superb! But the movie is only so-so. Could be better.(6.4/10

Didnt have high hopes for this movie since I thought most Oscar-winning films usually end up quite boring with lots of talk and no action. However, this show amazed me for its well written script and amazing actors. The plot was very interesting and intriguing. It was like attending a History and English lesson! Highly recommended! (8.4/10)
A very intriguing and entertaining thriller about how a married couple's life is turned upside down when the wife is accused of a murder. Russell Crowe made it more enjoyable to watch too!(7.4/10)
This is a true story about boxing. Christian Bale puts up an incredible performance and sacrifice in this show by losing so much weight. Predictable but still enjoyable.(7.3/10)
It's not that kind of show to rush and catch it, but one that just fills up your time on a weekend night with your spouse, without the kids.A light, refreshing romantic comedy merely for relaxation purposes. (6.0/10)
An earnest, refreshing, romantic film about 2 young kids falling in love. I enjoyed the different perspective this film gave from the boy and girls' point of view. Enjoyed it a lot!In fact, I wanted more when it ended. (7.4/10)
A highly entertaining thriller about a runaway train that takes 2 brave souls to save it. Watching Denzel Washington in the show was an added bonus. Great show if you love to be thrilled and moreover, this show is inspired by true events! (7.6/10)
A predictable plot with breathtaking visuals. Highly entertaining! Great show for the family(7.5/10)
With a title like this, I didnt have much hope that it would be good. It surprised me as it was a very creative and imaginative film with great visuals. Highly entertaining, great plot and funny! Would highly recommend this!(7.3/10)
The story of a father's tireless love for his autistic son. Though I am not a big fan of Jet Li (even since he moved over to Hollywood), he did a rather great job in this movie.I won't say this is a tearjerker, but there will be those who will inevitably be touched by Father's love.(7.4/10)
If you like fantasy or magical shows, this is right for you. It is a fairly decent action flick that will keep you awake.Watchable but nothing to shout about.(6.2/10)
If you want something light hearted and hilarious, this is the show for you.I was practically laughing my head off almost throughout the entire show. A great nonsensical movie to catch if you just had a stressed up and busy week.(5.9/10-for its far fetch, silly plot, 9/10 for the comedy)
Thought of skipping this movie as I felt all toy stories were the same until my friends commented that this sequel was the best ever. Indeed it was very enjoyable, highly entertaining, great story line, touching scenes and truly a must-see even if you are not a big fan of Toy Story 1 and 2.(8.2/10)
Watched this show because I love thrillers and they compared this show with Jaws. I was more than thrilled. In fact, I was so scared after the show that I swore I would not do skiing anymore in my entire life or sit on any chair lift. This show will really scare you if you are unprepared, like me(6.6/10)
Hilarious show that will keep you laughing throughout! Will recommend it if you just want to have a fun time!(6.8/10)
An inspiring true story about a boy diagnosed with cancer and yet, he went on to touch the people around him and spreading the message of hope. Kept me crying non stop! If you love inspirational movies, you got to catch this. It keeps your life in perspective(7.2/10)
Loved this show. The main actor was good looking, interesting story line and the effects were good. One movie which kept me sitted throughout. Not bad!(6.9/10)
Compared to Ip Man 2, this is not as good. Didn't like it at all! The main actor was not good looking and hunky as Donnie. So that was a negative point. Wasnt much action sequence too. Watchable but wouldnt go all out to grab the DVD.(6.2/10)
A stirring and remarkable true story about a boy from China defying all odds to pursue what he loves. I truly enjoyed this movie. You would like it even if you are into dancing. But it's a definite must-see for those who love ballet! (7.4/10)
A very creative and wonderfully wierd film. However, this show doesnt suit children as it has ghoulish creatures and its a pretty creepy film. Will recommend it to adults who like twisted fantasy stories. This show is truly a creation. (7.5/10)
A rather moving film about a young girl suffering from cancer and how her sister takes care of her. A strong bond between the siblings impressed me. Great show if you like teary plot (7.3/10)
A wonderful light hearted film which refreshed me for the plot was classic and the whole show was pleasurable and enjoyable. Most women will definitely like this!(7.6/10)
An excellent, inspiring true story about Nelson Mandela as a newly elected President of South Africa. Talked about how he united the country through rugby. Highly recommended!(7.9/10)
Didn't really enjoy this show probably because after watching the exciting trailer, I had high hopes for it. Not as exciting as I expected. Watch it only if you have the time to spare.(6.5/10)
A funny, creative, thrilling and entertaining film. A good story with interesting characters that will definitely amuse you. I really enjoyed this film. Catch it if you can!(7.9/10)
A wacky and interesting romantic, drama show about love that transcends time where a guy who has no control about the time or places where he is sent. So he practically disappears and travels back into time or into the future. Didnt truly enjoy this show because its quite ridiculous but didnt hate it as well! Good show for a nice romantic and lazy evening. (7.1/10)
I am quite a fan of Denzel Washington's movies as well as thrillers. This show is basically about a train hijack by John Travolta. Ending quite silly but all in all, it wasnt THAT bad a movie to watch. Watch it only if you time to waste or you are a fan of Denzel! (6.9/10)
I loved this movie for its inspirational and touching. I really cant help but love Sandra Bullock's shows. This time round, she plays a very different role from her usual ones. Definitely memorable and enjoyable. Would highly recommend this to anyone who loves inspirational movies, like me!(8.0/10)
Didnt want to catch this initially when they first advertised on TV as the characters looked just too wierd. However, I finally decided to catch it after many people around me have been giving me positive reviews and comments after they watched it! This show is truly amazing and very creative. I really take my hat off to James Cameron for having thought of such a plot and having such an imagination! Its incredible! Great cast too!However, the only down side was that the show was a little too long. Got a little bored 3/4 way through the movie. But will still recommend this for all to watch!(8.3/10)
I enjoy watching most romantic,comedy movies and its light hearted and straightforward! End up watching this show because of Sandra Bullock as I enjoy most of her films. Howeve, such shows are not that memorable. Catch it only if you like romantic comedy or Sandra Bullock.(6.7/10)
The is a must-see movie for anyone who loves the underwater world! This film really opened my eyes to the truly devastating fates of thousands of dolphins, who are slaughtered without remorse in Japan as they show the kind of extend human cruelty can be. Highly recommended!(8.6/10)

True story of the life of Ip Man, a grandmaster of Wing Chun martial arts (where Bruce Lee is the disciple). Great action flick with an intensed dose of Chinese Martial Arts. Nice display of Chinese pride and values. A must-see, in my opinion! (8.1/10)
Watched this show because I loved thrillers and my friend highly recommended this. However, I hated every part of the movie! I did not find it exciting at all. In fact, quite silly. You will either love or hate it! From a technical aspect point of view, it is quite brilliant. The movie has a carefully constructed plot, characterisation and performance. If you are a huge fan of Martin Scorsese (directed movies like The Aviator, Gangs of New York,The Departed) you will enjoy this one. Too bad I'm not and never will be (decided after watching this) (4/10)
Would never miss this for the world since I love superheroes!Story line very far fetched (what can you expect from shows like these) but all in all, entertaining and stunning visuals (7.5/10)
