small cast of good characters, nice location, some great scenes (0 more)
the sequels (0 more)
classics never die, unlike graboids
I first saw this via those discs you get when you used to first buy a DVD player, a handful of B movies and this hidden gem, this film convinced me to give B movies a second chance, Tremors is made up of a small cast of good actors, it takes place in the middle of a desert in a nowhere town, two guys going about their business until something starts killing people, what follows is B movie gold, well worth a watch.
  
Presley Parker's party planning business might finally be entering the big leagues when she is asked to host the mayor's surprise wedding on Alcatraz. But things take a turn for the worse when the bride to be storms off only to turn up dead and the police want to talk to Presley. I found the pacing in the middle a bit uneven, but a great beginning and climax coupled with warm characters make me want to read more.

As with all the other Maeve Binchy books I've read, I loved this one too! 12 chapters...one for each month of the year in which the book takes place. Great story between Tom and Cathy, two catering school buddies who decide to open up their own catering business. There are side stories about the other characters in the book and they all intertwine. Maeve Binchy is a wonderful storyteller and this book did not disappoint. There was a time when I didn't think I would finish it before I had to return it to the library...I did renew it once! LOL!

young couple sam & molly are in the middle of starting their lives together in their new home, when they are attacked one night resulting in Sam's death.
After sam refuses to move on, now having unfinished business, he begins Looking for answers. In need of help, sam meets a spiritualist fraud who terrifyingly (yet hilariously) discovers she has the gift.

This romantic/comedy/thriller manages to perfectly mix the dark and light tones of the movie, with edge of your seat, heart pounding moments.

Starring Patrick swayze, Demi Moore and Woopi Goldberg and Tony Goldwyn.

Dolemite Is My Name (2019)
2019 | Biography, Comedy, Drama
Russ is my name and reviewing movies is my mutha f*@!n' game. First of all, it's so great to see Eddie Murphy back on the scene. And he killed it taking on the role of Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite is my Name. The story of Rudy Ray Moore and the making of his first movie is hilariously brought to life by an all star cast, and this time around with more money and better production team the Rudy had on Dolemite. If you have Netflix and don't give this a watch then you're just a no business, born insecure, junkyard mutha.
