by | Sep 19, 2023

So Much More Than A Board Game

“Under the Boardwalk” takes an in-depth look at the immense global impact of the beloved Monopoly board game. This captivating exploration delves into the captivating world of passionate Monopoly collectors, while also following the vibrant players who eagerly compete for the esteemed title of Monopoly World Champion. Experience the phenomenon of Monopoly as it transcends cultures and brings people together, transforming a simple game into a cultural phenomenon of epic proportions. Join us on this thrilling journey into the captivating and competitive realm of the Monopoly World Championship.

I believe that most individuals have played Monopoly at some point in their lives. Personally, I found the game to be enjoyable, although I never considered competing seriously. Undoubtedly, there are skills and strategies involved, and luck can also play a significant role. Regardless, I take pleasure in engaging in board games with my loved ones.

The documentary tells the history of the game and how it is still going strong in its various editions. It is more than merely a fun game — it is a learning tool to help with basic math skills. For some it is the first time some had money to count in their hands. It is an experience many will never forget.

I Was Thinking About The Tokens

I don’t know if I had a favorite. I liked the top hat and the thimble. I may have used the iron and the wheel barrel at some point. Oh, and the Scotty Dog! 

The Under The Boardwalk Prime Video Was Informative

I did learn a lot about the game. I had no idea there was a national competition. It wasn’t anything I gave much thought to, but it was a competition everyone could try to qualify. You don’t need great strength or special skills. It’s a game everyone can play. I encourage you to view the video and dig out that old Monopoly game you have tucked away in the closet and have a game night with your family and friends.

Amazon Prime Has A Wonderful Selection Of Movies And Series — Plus Amazon Originals

I Enjoy Selecting And Watching Movies As The Mood Strikes Me

I remember when I had the cable movie channels. I was stuck with their schedule and their selection. We did have the option of renting movies or buying the videos. I personally enjoy not having the clutter in my house. Yet I have a wonderful selection of movies and more available to me “on demand” with Amazon Prime Video.

I highly recommend you become an Amazon Prime Member — you’ll get more value than only movies, but this is something you need to check out and decide for yourself. I enjoy watching movies and series and documentaries, etc. on my laptop. I can sit in any place in my house and even out on my patio to view my movies or work on my websites. 

I enjoy my leisurely lifestyle. I do thank you for stopping by!

Medium — A Beautiful Series On Amazon Prime

by | Sep 10, 2023

Medium — A Beautiful Series On Amazon Prime

The genre of Medium is Suspense, Drama, and Fantasy. This series centers around a woman who has dreams about crimes. She is married and has three daughters — and there is plenty of drama. 

The main characters of Allison DuBois — Patricia Arquette, Joe DuBois — Jake Weber, and Manuel DeValos — Miguel Sandoval along with others make up this delightful series.

 

It’s never my intention to give spoilers , , , but . . . I must say that this series ended very well in my opinion. I believe it followed the basic premise of life with its ups and downs and natural progressions,

This is an entertaining series. There were times I became frustrated — it may speak more of me than the series or the behaviors of the various characters. Yet I did want to watch every season, There have been some series I watch a few episodes and move on, but not with Medium.

 

I Believe Medium Is A Worthwhile Series To Binge Watch — I Did!

You can escape and get caught up in the characters and the actions. It tells a slice of life we may never experience, fortunately, for ourselves. It is about crime, the awful things in society, and the lives of those who investigate such issues.

I encourage you to take a look at it or re-experience it from when you watched it back in the early 2000s when it was originally broadcast on television.
