Outrageous

I watch the movie version of this multiple times growing up, but I had never read the book. After reading the book I must say that it and the movie are both wonderfully told stories. The book differs greatly from the movie, but Forrest adventures could never be contained in the short time frame of a single movie.
The great thing about this book is that it is not contained to a single adventure. Even after reading it I don't understand how so many stories manage to fit into a single novel. Each of Forrest's stories flows nicely into the next. This causes the ridiculousness of each adventure to make perfect sense in the overall story.
Anyone who enjoys the movie needs to read this book. It is an easy to read masterpiece that stands far above other stories of its kind.

Ridin' Solo

Solo: A Star Wars Story- is better than Rogue Story by a lot. Its more fun, entertaining, action, adventure, thrilling, and more.

The plot: Young Han Solo finds adventure when he joins forces with a gang of galactic smugglers and a 190-year-old Wookie named Chewbacca. Indebted to the gangster Dryden Vos, the crew devises a daring plan to travel to the mining planet Kessel to steal a batch of valuable coaxium. In need of a fast ship, Solo meets Lando Calrissian, the suave owner of the perfect vessel for the dangerous mission -- the Millennium Falcon.

I like Aldren Ehrenreich as Han Solo, Woody Harrelson was good, Paul Bettany was excellent as the villian and Donald Glover was good as Lando.

Like i said this is 10x better than rogue one. Its a good movie.

The Loser's Club

Stand By Me- is one of only three films stephen King himself likes based off of his novels. That is saying a lot because most of his adaptions are bad.

The Plot: After learning that a stranger has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four Oregon boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie Lachance (Wil Wheaton), Vern Tessio (Jerry O'Connell), Chris Chambers (River Phoenix) and Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman) encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, as they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.

What a perfect cast of people.

Stand By Me- has drama, adventure, kids being kids, bullies and more.

I would highly reccordmend it.
