Bostonian916 (449 KP) rated Burden (2018) in Movies
Aug 4, 2020
I'm not sure why this movie is listed as being released it 2018. It was released VOD early this summer due to theaters closing down. IMDb has it listed as 2018, as well. Perhaps that was the intended release?
Anyway, Burden is a true story about Mike Burden, an active KKK member in the deep south. Having lived a life of hate and anger, he falls in love with a woman who shows him that there are other ways. He denounces his position in the Klan and removes himself from it entirely with the help of a local reverend who happens to be black.
The film makers did a wonderful job of showing the mental and emotional anguish that Burden went through by walking away from the only "family" he ever knew, even though they were heinous, it was still not an easy task.
Garrett Hedlund and Forest Whitaker are both absolutely phenomenal in their respective roles. From what I understand, the film stays pretty true to the actual story that played out in real life.
Though the film is based on events that took place in the 90's from what I can tell, the story told is a relevant today (perhaps moreso) than ever.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Sex and the City (2008) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
It’s hard to look at Sex & The City now and not see four women who absolutely hated each other, but the first film in the series was actually pretty good. The less said about Sex and the City 2 the better. Although Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) wedding plans don’t go quite as she would have imagined them, the lead up to the ceremony itself is a reason to give this flick a watch. The fashion, the cast and Carrie’s almighty dress is pure American wedding excellence.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Bridesmaids (2011) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
I’m not ashamed to say that I think Bridesmaids is one of the funniest films ever made. The very talented Paul Feig took an incredible ensemble cast and threw them together with such hilarity, it made my ribs hurt. After the trials and tribulations of the movie itself, Bridesmaids culminates in a ridiculously over-the-top wedding orchestrated, to the dismay of Kristen Wiig’s Annie, by arch-nemesis Helen (Rose Byrne). It even features a glorious musical number by Wilson Phillips. What could be better?

Unputdownable
This is the first book in a six part series, following the lives of several key characters in a South London community, from the outset of WW2 to VE Day. The novels just get stronger and stronger and the action moves into the European conflict too. The characters are really well drawn, the women are strong, there ls humour, romance, action, pathos and Just purely compelling storylines. Recommended for any reader who likes a brilliant ongoing series. I’ve loved all the books thus far. Last one comes out in April 2018. Hope others will enjoy too.

For the majority of this book I was clueless as to what had happened and who had done what to who! But that is a good thing! It was only in the last few chapters that everything did finally come together and it was done very well. Loved the back and forth between the 90’s, 2016, 2018, diary entries and emails. Even with all the back and forth, it was easy to follow and did a great job of keeping the story moving while ramping up the tension.
An excellent debut thriller that will have you checking those shadows!
