A very good if short thriller about 5 guys who wake up in a warehouse with short term memory loss. They deduct that 2 of them are hostages and 3 are kidnappers, but who is who?
Great idea for a thriller and it has a fine cast and a couple of twists along the way as you try to guess who the bad guys are. Worth checking out.
  
Inspiring. Very uplifting. I feel like buying a couple of people in my life this book. I feel a little better about life and faith in general just from reading this book. I don't typically read religious books or things of that nature because I know very little about the topics contained therein. However, I am super glad I read this. I would recommend it to every person I know.

I had such high hopes for this! I'm a huge rhoa fan and enjoyed a couple other books by other housewives. I looked forward to reading this for months! What a disappointment! I didn't like the undeveloped characters, there wasn't much of an actual plot, and the writing was just awful. I can't help but wonder where the editor was in the publishing process cause this is just sloppy imo.

I honestly had not seen this film for several years. I decided to watch it with my family on a whim while we were on a camping trip. I turned it on and realized just how well done this movie really was. There were a couple of effects that didn't hold up as well as they should have, but I was really surprised at how much I really enjoyed this movie.

Dragged Out
I'm not a fan of this writing style. The story is dragged out causing even the interesting parts to become monotonous and boring. While a couple of the characters were interesting the majority of them did not stand out. The majority of the book follows the same pattern of being mildly interesting, but never enough to stand out and be engaging. This book belongs on a shelf somewhere.

Another decent Netflix original!
Another good addition to the Netflix originals! Love supernatural films and this popped up on my ones to watch! Plot was not what I expected when I watched and left me wanting more. A couple of moments where I really did jump kept me on the edge of suspense.
The actors/actresses have done an amazing job and will be looking for more of their work.

The beginning had me hooked. Royally Screwed was a cute enjoyable read. I had a couple moments of laughing out loud.

Nicholas thinks he can have any woman at any price, but reality knocked the wind out of him when he enters a diner drunk.
Olivia is definitely a bad ass that doesn't take shit off anyone. Nick thought he could buy her for sex. Olivia shows him who is boss

Something different
A decent mix of thriller and Horror as 2 kids pay a visit to grandparents they have never met before. There are a couple of scenes that will give a chill down the back of your neck. The only real downer was the finale was a little weak. With all M. Night Shymalan films though you know a twist is coming.

The house that blah, blahblah! Another couple of hours spent watching artsy fartsy pretentious excrement that I'm sure some will assume is masterpiece of life changing cinema!
This director just doesn't improve with age, and although some may say that you need an open mind to take in all of the hidden meaning, I say invest your time better.
Matt Dillon is O.K, Film is Crap, be warned!

2019 | Horror, Thriller
Ma is an absolutely wild ride of a film; it orbits you on social media for a couple of months before ghosting you and then coming back out of nowhere with some seriously WTF moments. It had me screaming with laughter and then screaming in terror, something that I find to be one of the most effective storytelling methods within the horror genre.
