Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2099 KP) rated The Last Word (Diagnosis Murder, #8) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The final Diagnosis: Murder novel finds Dr. Mark Sloan's world crumbling around him when a conspiracy targets his friends. Slow going at the start, but lays crucial groundwork for the fast paced rest of the novel. I loved it and sorry to see the characters fade into the sunset again.

Rolling Stone's 341st greatest album of all time
Superb soft dance album by Moby. This album contains so many singles that were hard to avoid in '99/2000. The one downside of the album is that the best material is definitely in the first half, so the album does fade away to an extent after that. Also, I would have put money on the song "Flower" ("bring Sally up, bring Sally down") being on this album, but it was apparently on the follow-up B-sides album.

Not just a good horror movie, a good movie
I Love horror, I am not a diehard Steven King fan, although I did try to tackle the book after seeing this movie. I’m used to jump scares and have always had a pallet for the psychological thriller aspect. But I’m this movie all the nit picky details of what makes horror good fade away because the shots are amazing the child actors are hilarious, endearing, and down to Earth. I’ve never appriciated a movie labeled horror more for its cinematic and story telling qualities.

Peter G. (247 KP) rated Leaving Las Vegas (1995) in Movies

Nic Cage gives a career best performance as a man with nothing left to live for and decides to drink himself to death in Vegas where he meets an unlikely love interest played by Elizabeth Shue.
Cage's performance is both remarkable and believable and truly portrays a man ready to die at all cost, swigging a bottle of alcohol at all times, including just before he passes out at bedtime, we soon see his health deteriorate as Shue (although agreeing to allow him kill himself) struggle as she is forced to watch him fade away. Astounding and startling performances.

CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated Right Direction by Benjamin Lazar Davis in Music
Jul 11, 2019
This is Beck, circa Sea Change, but with a boxier mix and these lo-fi drums that sound like old sneakers. The songwriting is top notch. This track will resonate with anyone who has had to walk through the darkness. That's always the question: am I doing this right?
Davis got his start in New York City as a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer. We like where he's going with this:
“Fade out but the lights are still glowing
tell me where to go
how long will I run without knowing
if I’m running in the right direction...”
