Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

The Emergence of a Great Nation Called Nigeria | Episode 10
Nigeria's economy, the largest in Africa, has experienced significant growth and diversification since the early 2000s. While oil and gas remain the primary sources of revenue, sectors such as telecommunications, agriculture, and services have expanded. Government initiatives aimed at economic reform, such as the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS), have sought to address structural issues and promote sustainable development. However, the country still grapples with high levels of poverty, unemployment, and inequality. Infrastructure deficits, power shortages, and bureaucratic inefficiencies hinder further economic progress. Efforts to combat corruption and improve governance are ongoing, with mixed results.

The Spring
The sun was high when Lance pulled off the road and into the dusty lot of the service station. The sign back at the hairpin--the first sign in a long time--said they just rolled into Hatter’s Creek, Population 63. It was small enough it didn’t appear on the handmap in Shelby’s lap, yet here it stood, the first backwater township on the fringes of the National Park. The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.

Good movie to review!
This is an excellent critique!
I never heard of this one
I love this movie! I read there was a version where she and Duckie end up together, but they decided not to do it because it "would never really happen". The director made a different movie for that reason, and asked Molly to be the lead and she declined. I loved Duckie.. and would have chose him.
I love this movie!!! Great job with this
Excellent Tiff. Of course for me the #1 highlight is the music. The soundtrack for this movie is filled with all great new wave classics. Other than the music I love the styles/fashion... I lived this era and loved the trendy styles. Great movie!!!
Your reviews are always so pretty! I loved this!
Love your style here Tiffany and that you have even managed to fit in a brief analysis of themes! Love it! Fun film.. just watched last year. I had a bit of John Hughes retrospective when I had covid and then a cold right after… his films whether directed by or written by him are swell! ☺️
Awesome critique!!! Love it!!!
Great review of an iconic movie from my young adulthood.
Great review. Haven't seen this in decades.
Such a classic movie. No matter what decade you watch it, it's fantabulous. Love the use of "wrong side of the tracks" to describe how she is considered one of the less desirables.
That was an 80's movie for sure - lol. Great critique ♥️
This was a GREAT critique ☺️
Well done, Tiffany! I loved Duckie and his music solo, plus that ending! Great critique!
This was wonderful 💖😉📝💯👌🎉
Great job, Tiffany! I love how your critique mirrors the image.
I love how you listed the highlights!
I love your unique way of critique with emoji’s 🥰🥰🥰. I watched this romantic movie.
