I really enjoyed this. Kate is one of my favorite authors and her writing always makes me happy. This one had a different feel from a lot of them. Some parts were a bit unbelievable but overall I really enjoyed it because it was fun, sexy and interesting to read. I am glad I got to review it

I hadn't heard of this movie until I took a Decolonization of Africa history class at university. I have to admit, I kind of disliked that class, until we watched this movie.
The documentary style is fantastic, it's gritty and feels raw. The Battle of Algiers is a good example of now a familiar, modern warfare.
  
I really LOVED this book. I've been on a poetry/verse style kick lately so this caught my eye immediately. The flow of the story worked really well and the illustrations added a lot to it. I learned a lot, and I found it hard to put down. I would love to see more like this.
  
Where'd you go, Bernadette. This book was different from What I normally listen to,but I really liked this book. I enjoyed how it was from a daughter's point of view. On a scale from 1 to 10 it is about a 7. An enjoyable book but I will trade it at my local book store for other books.

Um....wow! I need to wrap my brain around this before I write my review. literally just finished. This story completely blew away my expectations! And that's saying a lot! (I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone. )

Barry Lyndon (1975)
Barry Lyndon (1975)
1975 | Drama, History, War

"A classic. Everything is perfect. On top of its incredible cinematography and mise en scène, I think it’s the story that attracts me to it. I love the idea that the hero is a huge asshole. And I cry every time his son falls off of his horse. That’s maybe why I never rode a horse."

I was going to give it 3.5 stars until that bit at the end, which boosted it up half a star--just because I didn't expect it. I can't go into details without ruining it, which would be a shame because I thought it was well thought out and written.

A nice short story with slight BDSM themes.

Twin Peaks
1990 | Crime, Drama, Film-Noir, Mystery, Thriller

"OK, Twin Peaks, which isn’t a film, but a TV series. Again, I watched that as a kid, and I just thought it was so weird and wonderful and scary. I just didn’t get it, but I loved the music. It was so, sort of, haunting. I’m putting everything from literally the age of eight to about 12."

I enjoyed this, it was different in many ways. I just wish there'd been a bit more romance. I know there were lots of kisses but I kinda wanted more. I'm happy they got a happy for now ending, so I'm quite content to wait for a while before getting and reading the second book in the series.

I can still remember how excited I got at the end of Split when Bruce Willis surprisingly appeared on screen as his character from Unbreakable, for it was at that moment I knew we now had a trilogy on our hands. Glass was a perfect third edition and I walked out with a huge smile on my face.
