Better than expected
I thought this was going to be an ok/ bad movie, but it was actually really good. The movie follows multiple characters and there dogs, and each story line was entertaining in its own way. The movie had a lot of funny parts, but still managed to get serious during some of the story lines. I would recommend this to anyone who likes romantic comedies, or someone looking for an unexpected jewel.

"Oh, you know what I love? I’m going to give you one of my holiday movies that I love, that I can’t stop watching. It goes on marathon every year. That’s A Christmas Story. That’s like on marathon all damn day. And I’ve watched that movie ten times. My favorite scene is when the dogs run in there and eat that damn turkey, man. I tell you, I’m in hysterics, man. That is one of my favorite movies."

Attack Dog

Love this game!
I love this game as you never get bored of it! I love upgrading the Sanctuary and other areas. I like the fact that you can have a kick a** partner. I actually added a Mod and had attack dogs protecting my Sanctuary and safe places, I put a wall around the places for added security, and you can have a Mutant Hound as a pet (he is named Baskerville).

Welcome to the hellmouth, we've got double games. Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018) Review
If Hammer House Of Horror had produced “Spaced”, the result could have been a lot like “Slaughterhouse Rulez”. A common room home brew of British Boarding School classics like “If….”, “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” (the 1969 musical version specifically) mixed with “Ghostbusters” and dash of “Harry Potter”, this intoxicatingly lowbrow comedy horror offers a novel spin on the idea that British education has gone to the dogs....

Anna Calvi recommended Rain Dogs by Tom Waits in Music (curated)

 
Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
1985 | Rock
8.3 (4 Ratings)
Album Favorite

"When making One Breath, I did listen to Rain Dogs. I love the way that Tom Waits uses really unusual instrumentation, like tuned marimbas, to sort of suggest chords instead of just the obvious guitar strumming changes. “Doing this was a real influence on me, using marimba and not relying on the guitar as an accompanying instrument, but treating it as a character that comes in as kind of a surprise. Tom can make the guitar sound wild – I really like that"

Murder Goes to the Dogs
In an attempt to train her woefully misbehaving dogs, Emory Martinez has signed them up for a dog obedience class run by Shawn Parker. The class has gotten rave reviews online, but Emory finds that it has done little for her two dogs, as evidenced by their misbehavior at the graduation potluck. It’s also at this potluck that Emory begins to hear gripes and grumblings not only about Shawn but his mother, Eloise, who is President of the condo association where most of Emory’s fellow students live. A few hours later, Emory stumbles over the dead body of Eloise in the condo’s community center. With the rumors that Emory has heard, can she sort out who killed Eloise?

I enjoy this series, so it was wonderful to see what Emory and the rest of the cast is up to. Once again, they were a delight to spend time with. The suspects could have been a little stronger, but they worked for their role in the story. The pacing of the plot could have been a little better as well, but it did keep me engaged as I was reading. I also enjoy the Southern California setting of the stories. The book uses its September setting to introduce lots of apple themed treats, and the recipes at the end made me drool. By necessity, this book spoils some past events, so if you want to read them unspoiled, I recommend you go back to the beginning. As a fan of the series, that would be my recommendation anyway. Fans will be anxious to dive into this book, and they’ll be well rewarded.

Andy K (10821 KP) Aug 30, 2019

I would agree at least 8 out of 10 or above.

Mine would be similar although it has been a while since I have seen Jackie Brown or Reservoir Dogs. Also, need to watch Once Upon A Time again so I have more of the details. I felt like it ran past quickly at times.

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Inglorious Basterds
3. Django Unchained
4. Kill Bill
5. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
6. Jackie Brown
7. Hateful Eight
8. Reservoir Dogs
9. Death Proof

A Star is Dead
Pet therapist Caro Lamont is working with the stars and dogs who are part of the Barking with the Stars fundraiser, which is raising money for an organization that provides service dogs to soldiers who have returned from war. The biggest celebrity is Purple, an internationally famous pop star. But a few days before the big event, Purple is found dead. The police suspect foul play and are looking at Caro’s ex-husband. Geoffrey is many things, but a killer is one of them, right?

This series is always fun, and this book is no exception. The plot moves forward well, and Caro keeps digging until she puts things together in the end. I did feel like one plot point got forgotten as the book went forward, but that is a minor complaint. The characters are great. Caro and a few others seem very real, but the rest can be eccentric. They work in the series and provide some fun laughs, especially Betty. The series storylines advance as well, and I enjoyed getting those updates. This is another fun entry in a very fun series.
