A Hugely Humerous, High Quality, Hillbilly Heist

Steven Soderbergh has made some good movies and some bad movies over the years, but I'm glad to say his comeback movie falls on the right side of his filmmaking. Teaming up again with Channing Tatum in the lead role, the movie follows two brothers who are known in their town for being unlucky. They recruit their younger sister and an off-kilter Daniel Craig and decide to attempt to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
What ensues is fun, witty and moves at a brilliant pace. The ending of the movie isn't quite what you expect and although some of the big twists can be seen coming, the way that it is executed plays well.
Overall, the movie is a lot of fun and pretty stylish in places too.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Moriarty Returns a Letter (Baker Street Letters, #4) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The latest case for brothers Reggie and Nigel Heath solves a mystery 100 years in the making. When Reggie goes to set up a display of the some the letters written to Holmes over the years, he accidentally lets out a secret people will kill to keep quiet. Can he figure out what it is?

While playing with the Holmes lore, this series is different from the famous stories. Still, it's very fun. We know most of what is going on early, but watching to see if our heroes can figure it out kept the pages turning. I love the characters, too, which helps.

While book 4, this one heavily follows book 2 and spoils much of that one, so make sure you've read it before jumping in here.

I was late to getting to know about this series, yet with saying that it is the first TV series which I was hooked on. In the first season we are introduced to Sam and Dean whose father is away on a hunting trip and has not returned and their mother was killed by a yellow eyed demon. Sam and Dean give up a normal life of going to collage and working in a garage and became hunters. They befriend various people along the way over the rest of the seasons , even becoming friends with an angel who will do anything to save the brothers from becoming human vessals for Lucifer and Michael. Longest running CW TV program out as the show is now in it's 13th season.

Dramastically!

I did not know much about this going in, but what a pleasant surprise! I thought it was going to be more of an action film, but ended up being very funny indeed. I don't think they make good comedies any more, so I really don't seek them out. I fell into this one by accident because I'm a big Steven Soderbergh fan.

The screenplay is very funny especially with a lot of the "redneck" dialogue between Channing Tatum and Adam Drive or Daniel Craig and his two crazy brothers.

When the group decides to rob a major NASCAR raceway, they need all the hep they can get including a demolishonist who is currently in jail.

The plot has some holes, and everything is too convenient at times, but overall a very entertaining film which is never boring and usually very amusing.

Highly recommended.
