Best netflix movies december 202110/13/2023 ![]() With Klaus, Netflix made a bona fide original Christmas classic without a single holiday switch (incredible, I know). Plus, Alessia Cara sings an absolute banger of a song and Ricky Gervaisnarrates the story as a cat. It's a unique take on family and childhood that's worth the watch. Over the course of the rest of the movie, the siblings eventually find a family of their own, one where they are loved and cared for in a way their parents are simply incapable of doing. ![]() The Willoughbys' fortunes change shortly after their parents leave with the arrival of their new nanny (voiced by the iconic Maya Rudolph). Okay, yes, all of that sounds quite dark but rest assured, this really is a family movie. Deprived of love, music, and food their entire lives, the Willoughby children put together a plot to send their parents on a deadly vacation that they think is sure to kill them off. This acclaimed animated film follows the story of a group of siblings whose parents absolutely despise all children. In most kid's movies, parents are loving, caring people who would do anything for their children. Even the most bizarre turns never distract us from how deeply we end up feeling about this weird little kid and his surly new father figure out in the New Zealand bush. Waititi’s sensibilities as a writer and director here lean towards the bombastic and comedic, but the movie does its best work in the quiet moments. The story is part adventure tale and part family drama, yet even in its wilder moments, it balances these disparate parts in a wonderfully entertaining way (including a national manhunt, a faked death, and an almost New Wave-like series of vignettes within the story itself). Though he starts to connect with the more overtly loving “Aunt” Bella ( Rima Te Wiata), he ends up spending most of the movie with “Uncle” Hector ( Sam Neill), as part of a mutual and begrudging acceptance that they need each other more than they care to admit. Instead, it’s a beautiful dance between the two, as the New Zealand-set story follows something of an inverted Anne of Green Gables, as the young Ricky Baker ( Julian Dennison) is taken in by foster parents to help out on their farm. It’s full of quirky humor, but it is never glib in the face of its often intensely emotional material. When you're done here, check out the best new movies to stream this week, as well as the best shows on Netflix, best shows on Hulu, best shows on Amazon Prime Video, and best shows on Disney+.Filmmaker Taika Waititi landed on most people’s radars as the director behind Thor: Ragnarok, but just before the Marvel sequel, he crafted the delightful adventure comedy Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

Age of empires 3 soundtrack10/13/2023 ![]() Some of the MIDI tracks are alternate versions of the CD tracks: less complex/unengineered versions which can be played by the computer's sound card synthesizer. The installation files also include a different, more limited soundtrack in MIDI format, stored in /Age of Empires/Sound, which can be used as a fallback if the CD isn't in the drive. The game's CD stores the music in Red Book format - this means it can be played on any CD player, after skipping the data track. ![]() ![]() This version uses a full orchestra, and is performed by the FILMharmonic Orchestra, Prague.Īge of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties Review The fully produced music would be playable on a CD, but players could use the installed MIDI files as a more limited fallback if their disc wasn't in the drive - and also for the trial versions of the game.įor the Definitive Edition, the soundtrack was recomposed by Todd Masten for Semitone Media Group. This was also influenced by the hardware requirements of the time: by using MIDI to control synthesizers, the soundtrack could be performed by the sound cards on players' computers, minimizing the storage space of the installed music files. After experimenting with more overt recordings of hunter-gatherer activities, a less obtrusive percussion-over-synth-pad approach was chosen. The music was intended to reflect the environment and the player's actions, blending seamlessly into the experience. Reverb was processed with the Lexicon PCM-91, and then the composition was mixed down to Digital Audio Tape for the CD soundtrack. Synth DS-330 was used for string pads and bass drops. The instruments are mostly from the E-mu ESI-32 sample library, via the Proteus 1 rack module, and the Boss Dr. Actual hardware was used, via MIDI, rather than being performed in a digital workstation. While it was designed to have an organic and almost classical feel, all of the music in Age of Empires, and the vast majority of Rise of Rome, was performed electronically. The music for Age of Empires and Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome was written under the lead of Stephen Rippy, collaborating with his brother David.

Clogged sewer vent10/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Such problems need immediate attention from a licensed plumber. ![]() Īt that point, you won’t hear anymore gurgling, but you’ll notice the smell of sewer gasses in the rooms of the affected plumbing fixtures. When vent pipes are totally blocked, the vacuum can become so strong, that it sucks water out of the P-traps. What kind of things atop of your house can block these small vents? Typically, plumbing vents are blocked by debris, such as dirt and leaves, sticks, or even small animals. Blocked drains and blocked vents can both cause a back up, and though they both can present as a clogged drain. Like all pipes or lines, blockages are possible. Įvery modern home’s plumbing system will have a series of drain pipes / sewer lines and plumbing vents. This is fed by other vents that are part of your plumbing system, such as your toilet vent.

Best single malt whiskey 202110/12/2023 ![]() “Pilgrimage is an ode to the whisky journey we’ve been on, and we look forward to seeing where the journey takes us from here.” $80 / 58.5% ABV Westward x Dobbes Family Estate Pinot Noir Rosé American Single Malt (Westward)įollowing the September announcement that the Westward Whiskey Club was expanding to 30 states in the USA, Westward announced its first national Club release: Westward American Single Malt x Dobbes Family Estate Pinot Noir Rosé. ![]() “We take great pride in our American single malts and the meticulous effort it takes to make each and every one of them unique,” Himstedt explains. This first iteration is crafted with Golden Promise malted barley, aged in used casks and finished in Sauternes dessert wine barrels - picking up complex notes of honeyed fruit and canned peaches to golden raisin and Baklava. Proving the Texas distillery’s penchant for getting freaky in the lab, every year of Pilgrimage will be different from the last - a whiskey embodiment of Head Distiller Jared Himstedt’s exploration. 1 Texas Single Malt, Lineage, Mirador and more.

Double stack washer and dryer10/12/2023 ![]() The GFW650 is not our main pick because in our tests it took about 20 minutes longer, on average, to wash a load on Normal than the WM4000H plus, we found that LG full-size washers rate more highly for reliability than GE’s. It also does more to reduce potential mildew and mold issues than any other washer we’ve tested: The gasket, detergent tray, and drain hose are made with antimicrobial Microban, and the washer has an option for venting that you can run after a cycle has finished to dry the drum with the door closed. The GE GFW650 cleaned about as well as the LG WM4000H in our tests and was similarly gentle on fabrics. LG makes a similar washer, the WM3600H, which omits some useful features but costs less. The WM4000H and its matching dryer (which is available in electric or gas) are stackable-in fact, you can stack any 27-inch LG dryer, new or old, on top of the WM4000H. The big downsides to the LG washer and dryer are that the control panels are hard to use in dim lighting and LG’s customer service stinks, so in the unlikely event that you need a repair under warranty, it might be a hassle. ![]() (They still won’t last as long as your parents’ old Maytag, though.) The matching LG DLEX4000 dryer dried loads faster than most of the other dryers we tested. Reliability is tough to predict, but in recent years LG front-loaders have had some of the lowest repair rates among mainstream washers, according to multiple sources. We found the Wi-Fi–connected features useful, including the end-of-cycle notifications, maintenance alerts, remote start, and additional downloadable wash programs the LG ThinQ app was also more intuitive and full-featured than those of our other picks. It even has a unique door-prop feature to help prevent the dreaded mildew smell. Like most front-load washers, the WM4000H has a huge capacity, runs quietly, and is notably efficient with water and energy. The WM4000H can wash a load significantly faster than a typical high-efficiency washer, and it has one of the widest varieties of wash settings, including a stain-loosening prewash option, super-hot temps, and extra rinses. It was one of the best washers we tested at removing all types of stains, yet it also handled fabrics more gently than most models we tried. AuthorWrite something about yourself.
