A Lost Piece of Hope
Where do I even begin with this trainwreck of a movie. I never walk out of a movie. I never turn a movie off if I don't need to. If anything, I'll never watch it again. This movie when I saw it at the theater back in 2015, was almost that 1 movie to do it. I had to grip my seat just to stay seated and not leave. From a slashed budget leaving bad effects to some that don't look done. To a bad story, bad acting and apparently a horrible production with a director who claimed to have a better cut that the studio didn't want to go with. It's absolutely no wonder this film was garbage. I wouldn't recommend this to someone I really hate. The only torture this film could do is bore you to death. Don't see this if you haven't. If you have, I'm sorry.

This book (audiobook) was recommended to me by one of my friends. I finally bought it and went into the book not knowing what to expect. The audiobook is narrated by the author Sherman Alexie and he did a good job narrating his biography.

I found the book interesting for the most part. I did find that it dragged a little and at times I was annoyed by the narrator. I honestly would have rated it 3 stars and I didn't think I was very invested in the book until 75% into the book and I started crying due to a scene. When a book can make me invested in the characters I always add a 1/2 star and then I round up.

Honestly, I'm not quite sure how to review this book. For the most part, I found it a little dull but I did love the multicultural part of the book. It was fascinating to hear about how alcohol has destroyed so many people's lives and how it seemed like a part of the Native American's culture.

Overall, I enjoyed the book but I would have a hard time rereading it or recommending it. It would be a good book for freshman in High School to read if the teacher is wanting to show multicultural issues.

I have only used Shazam a few times mostly to find out what song is playing on the radio. It's a pretty good app but I haven't used it in a while.

Is there a way to share reviews you've done on here to an Orb that you're a member of? So when I do a book review, I can share it to the bookworms orb?

Better than I thought it would be
I was not expecting a whole lot out of this, but it was a surprisingly fun action movie. It was a fresh take on the Kong mythos.

"When I first read Ellison’s 1952 novel, it was as if somebody turned a bright light on in a dark corridor. That which I thought was so frightening, so terrifying, was just a shadow."

I really enjoyed it! It is a classic old movie, with a very interesting story of a girl that has an imaginary friend, and I even found myself laughing out loud at many scenes.

This was such a sweet story. A little geeky in places but *grins* I so didn't care! I fell in love with both Whiskey and Patrick. What a lovely romance they shared!

I haven't laughed this hard at a comedy in a very long time. Steve Carrell and Tina Fey are hilarious together and do such a good job together. I will watch this movie again!!
