"“It’s predictable, but Performance, the Donald Cammell movie, contains one of the great cinema performances from James Fox. Mick Jagger is in there too giving a very good performance, and I know that by heart too. The soundtrack is epic, it’s beautiful, including a great Mick Jagger song called “Turner’s Song: Memo from T” which is a great, great song with some beautiful lyrics. It’s just a film that I have a soft spot for. I always remember watching Mean Streets, which was the first time I ever heard a Stones song in a movie. It was on the jukebox in the club, Jumpin’ Jack Flash was the song, and it was shocking that the Rolling Stones would allow one of their songs to be in a movie. But Scorsese has always had them in there; he’s a man of taste. They have a long relationship, because the Stones don’t use to let just anybody use their songs, you’d never get a Rolling Stones song in your movie. I also enjoyed Shine a Light, I thought it was wonderful. I loved the guests, Christina Aguilera, my god! What is that? She’s got so much talent, she’s so brilliant, and she looks so beautiful. You can see Mick’s face; he looked like he was so happy. Not only is she sensationally beautiful, glamorous and sexy, but also she can really, really, really do it, and the two of them pumping out that song was just beautiful. I’ve never seen a man look more happy or more grateful than Jack White, standing there singing Loving Cup. If you ever want to see a portrait of a young man looking as happy as it’s possible for a young man to look, check out Jack White in Shine a Light. At one point they’ve both got a microphone, Mick’s got one, he’s got the other, but he can’t bear it, he rushes over and shares a mic with Mick, because you know he wants to be able to say, “I shared a mic with Mick.” Then at the end he shakes everybody’s hand, Charlie, Keith and everybody, and if he was a dog he’d wag himself to death. If he’d had nine tails, it wouldn’t have been enough."

I wish I would have seen this movie in theaters. The choreography was beautiful, and the cast was stacked. Taron Egerton was a great lead, and I'm eager to see what he does with his career. It was heavy on gore, but I liked the little explosions of everyone's heads, it was refreshing not to see a bloody mess.

Great Read
I have enjoyed this world and characters since the first Farseer trilogy. This was a great read. It felt like saying goodbye to old friends. The story was interesting and I cared about the characters a lot. Robin Hobb created a beautiful world with complex and fascinating characters and while the story was sad, it was a wonderful book.

Beautiful setting
Best book I read 2017!
This is my favorite book of 2017 and one of my overall favorite books of all time! Gerald Durrell quickly became one of my favorite authors with his extremely witty exchanges of his family and such a unique perspective of his time in Corfu. Just a brilliant book!

Loved Emma as Belle. There aren't many actresses I'd put in her place! The original songs were beautiful, the set and costumes were gorgeous. (0 more)
Freaking autotune.. once you hear it, you can't unhear it! There was also some additional content to the original movie, and while the backstory was interesting, there was something a little off. (0 more)

The detail from physical description to mannerisms, not to mention the background scenery, made me feel like I was watching the story as I was reading it. A beautiful story worth reading and soaking up like sunshine itself. The Sunshine Sisters.

Gap of Time
Enjoyed the book. The book is beautiful and clever, emotionally wrought and profoundly intelligent it will pull the reader into its wise world of jealousy, paranoia, grief, revenge and forgiveness in the stunning prose; however, I would like to add that the author could have conveyed its character Leo's anger and message across without the heavy use of foul language.
