Meeh, it's a good story but it falls flat in the fact in that the author figures you've read the earlier books in that world. So a lot of items/events are spoken of but never actually explained. Didn't really feel like a story but more like "here's part 1 with a cliffhanger". The only thing I've read from this author is Southern Fried Dragon.

A shock of a joy as I don’t like musicals,a feel good movie with all the boxes ticked Great tunes ,well thought out sets. From the opening to the end credits your wrapped up within the warmth of the movie ..ok the story’s a little week but it’s the heart of the the film that matters ..and it’s just a joy to watch ..

Pan's Labyrinth is a creepy-dark fairy tale from GDT. I absolutely love the aesthetic of this film. The story completely ripped my heart out, but it was so good.
Seriously, the Pale Man freaks me out, and I may or may not have nightmares about that creepy thing. The scene with the Pale Man is pitch perfect, and you can feel the tension and fear.

Modern feminism is full of contradictions, hypocrisy, and good intentions. This podcast lets you be feminist without the expectation of perfection. Deborah and her co-hosts are hilarious, down to earth, and always ready to listen and learn. If you want to feel part of a wider community of intersectional feminists, or just listen to something outside of your bubble, you can't go wrong with this podcast.

The twists and turns in this books will keep your head spinning! The characters are really well developed and you can truely feel what they are going through. I loved that this book had a different bend in the road to your usual mystery/ romance books. I definately highly recommend this book. It would also make a really good movie for those that like movies.

I love this app. The ability to change so many parameters depending on your experience, time, needs and focus is really good. The music choices are excellent. And as someone be to high intensity interval training, I feel this has been the perfect beginners course. I absolutely love it!

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
1989 | Action, Adventure
Third and highly regarded installment in the Indy trilogy...I dont consider Crystal Skull to be of the same calibre and it served to tarnish what went before.
This entry is cream of the crop for action as Indy tries for the Holy Grail and bumps into his Father played to magical effect by Connery.
Totally outstanding feel good movie easily an instant classic.

Rolling Stone's 487th greatest album of all time
This album includes "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Time After Time", which are absolute classics. There are a number of other great songs on this album which show what an amazing voice Lauper has, so full of character and emotion, most notably "When You Were Mine". A nice feel-good album for a dreary lockdown morning.

Jon Savage recommended Kids (1995) in Movies (curated)

 
Kids (1995)
Kids (1995)
1995 | Documentary, Drama

"It's pretty fucking brutal but also very truthful about the amorality of adolescence and how some kids can be. And it was also dealing honestly with HIV amongst heterosexuals, which was a first. It launched Harmony Korine and started a whole new genre but made a real stink at the time. A tough film with no feel good factor in sight. It's completely unsentimental."

Movie Favorite

"There are loads of films that I’ve enjoyed. Zorba the Greek. Great! I like feel-good films. In Zorba the Greek you have this way of bringing these logs up a mountain – I don’t remember much – but the whole thing falls apart and it’s this huge catastrophe in the end and Zorba winds up dancing. It’s like, there’s nothing – what do you do? You dance!"
