"It stars Gregory Peck and Lee Remick as a couple who gives birth to the Bad Guy’s son. And how do you know? Well, he’s got 666 somewhere on his skull, and you got to move the hairs apart. I mean, it’s just very scary stuff, but when you really think about it, not a lot of blood and gore. There’s a scene where a guy is walking with the intent of hurting [the son, Damien], and then all of a sudden the truck rolls down a hill and decapitates the guy. You’re kind going, ‘What the Hell?’ And layer after layer of the story peel away until finally, later on, you understand.”

"What else would I go for? 2001. That’s gotta be up there. Just the trippiest, most beautiful epic. Again, I’m just sort of floored, really. I went to see the New York Philharmonic play the score live to a screening with my wife not that long ago, and it was awesome. There was an interval built in — it was obviously part of the film. We were shuffling back in after the interval, and I heard an elderly couple who were maybe not loving the experience. This guy is shuffling in and said to his wife, “Well, if you thought nothing happened in the first half…” [laughs] Yeah. She was not really loving that."

One Man's Obsession
Unlawful Entry- is a really good suspense thriller. The suspense, the thrills, the drama, the mystery are all excellent.

The plot: Happily married Michael (Kurt Russell) and Karen Carr (Madeleine Stowe) call the police after a failed robbery. Officer Pete Davis (Ray Liotta) arrives and helps arrange the installation of a new security system. The grateful Carrs have Pete to dinner and strike up a friendship. Pete invites Michael to ride with him during a night's patrol and gives him the chance to beat up the burglar. Michael refuses and tells the disturbed cop to stay away, but Pete begins stalking the terrified couple.

Its a excellent film. Highly recordmend.

"This is more for a specific time in my life. It just brings me back to a really specific couple of years. For about four or five years all I was doing was delivering pizza before we got the show. I was pizza trapping for sure. That album is exactly that, thug motivation. I wasn’t trapping I was out there slinging pizzas and that was my bible. I was thinking, ‘This isn’t it. You got to hustle.’ It was the motion picture soundtrack to not settle, keep working towards an ultimate goal. I haven’t listened to that album in a while. I have to pop it back in. That was my pizza slangin’ soundtrack."

"Color me gone, baby. I wouldn’t have seen this movie at twelve. I wouldn’t have understood anyone who didn’t have a mission, a point. But at nineteen, my face was gravel from “points.” I was ready for a whole lot of steel nothing, an empty road at high speeds, an existential needle guiding my arms. I knew little or nothing about automobiles, but I fell in love with this road trip, and made a couple myself, LA to Detroit, Tijuana to Spokane, no sleep, all little white pills and mud coffee. I never saw anyone as beautiful as James Taylor and Dennis Wilson passing me on the left, but I was ready to follow."

I won a copy of this book a year or so ago and if I'm honest, contemporary romances are not really my thing anymore. That being said, I thought the story was well thought out and well written, with just the odd spelling mistake here and there.

I've never read anything like this--it most certainly is like Groundhog Day--and it was a refreshing change but at the same time if it had taken one more reliving to make it all perfect I might have given up on it.

I was cheering our girl on as she fell for Ben throughout the weeks and I hope that they make it as a couple.

2016 | Biography, Drama, History
I missed the Unlimited screening for Hidden Figures, but I finally went to see it this month. It is a truly amazing film. Pleasantly surprised would be an understatement, but I'm not talking about the film, I'm talking about the viewers. I had kind of expected the viewing age to average out at over the 40 mark. But by the start of the film there were a couple of parents with their children who were certainly under the age of 12. They were explaining things to them and before the film started they were chatting about all sorts of things that would be touched on during it... honestly, it restored a little faith in humanity.

You can hear The Lumineers and Imagine Dragons just from the vocal mix, the heavy acoustic guitar, and the way the production doubles every harmony. Somehow the breaks always have oh-oh-oh and the melody flitters like a sparrow, but it still works. It's the simple message that says it all.

“It’s been a couple years
now I have scars to remind me
it can take a while
to get the wounds to heal”
— Jeffrey Piton
Jeffrey lives in Montreal, Canada, land of cold winters, sweet summers, and salty poutine. We think after he drops his new EP today he going to feel pretty good even if he has a few scars left from the experience.

Dark Scary Stories
This movie was very good, i jumped couple of times. I thought this movie was rated R, because of some of the death sences, cut to the first one. But it turns out its PG-13 and man oh man that first death sence was terrorfying and horrorfying. Guilmoro Del Toro only produces this film, but i wish he also directed. He knows how to make monsters scary and make monsters look terrorfying. I didnt read the short horror series of books. So i went in not knowing anything. I do want to read then know, because of this movie.

I would highly reccordmend going to see this film because it is very good.

4.5 stars.

I was surprised that I liked this so much. I think it was the fact that the romance took up a good 50% or so of the book, the other 50% being the hunt for the demon that Cady believed killed the three people her parents had been accused of killing.

I still haven't decided if Lon is attractive (wavy longish hair and moustache?) but I have to admit that despite the age difference between him and Cady that I really like the thought of them as a couple. Some of the scenes between them were just amazingly sweet and others were just plain sexy.

I cannot wait to read more of this series!
