   Household essentials go beyond mere furniture and utilities. In today's fast-paced world, the integration of technology in home appliances significantly enhances our daily living. One notable mention is the impact of reliable customer support, such as the signature kitchen suite customer service. This service exemplifies how assistance should be—prompt, helpful, and efficient, ensuring that all your kitchen appliances perform optimally without disrupting your home routines. A well-equipped kitchen requires not only high-quality appliances but also exceptional after-sales support to address any unforeseen issues. This level of service ensures that homeowners can enjoy a seamless cooking experience, underscoring the importance of customer service as a household essential. 3 weeks 1 day ago

   On the dangers of changing gears too often... Starting with its premise, Our Mother's House is about a family of seven kids whose fanatically religious single mother dies of an illness one day, and at least initially, the film is about how these kids (well differentiated and affecting young actors all) will cope not only with their grief, but with maintaining a household so they don't have to tell anyone and go to an orphanage (you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a period piece, but the kids probably read too much Dickens). It's all about child logic. And I like this movie a lot. Then almost supernatural thriller elements are introduced as the children evoke their mother's spirit and practically build a religion around her. It's a creepy turn, and yes, I like this movie too. Then a new parental figure comes into their lives and threatens to upend them with Elektra complexes and a definite God vs. the Devil undercurrent, and while I don't dislike this at all, we're now a couple of movies removed from the first act. It all ties in if we consider who is the instrument of the dead mother, but we've still changed gears so often that what we gain in unpredictability, we lose in tonal cohesion. Still one to discover. 4 years 10 months ago
