Movie Favorite

"I hadn’t seen that movie when I made First Cow, but then I went to Cannes and was on the jury. I had just finished editing, and when I got back from Cannes, I was going to do my sound mix. I met Alice [Rohrwacher, director of Happy as Lazzaro] – she was on the jury with me – and so I watched her film before I went, and I love this film and I thought, “Oh my God, there are some similar things to First Cow as far as, like, Lazzaro wakes up in some other house and you don’t know how much time has passed…” I put that on my list because it was very important to me to let Alice know I found her so inspiring and great, and I felt a real simpatico with her filmmaking. It feels in the world of my memory of making First Cow."

I liked this book - the beginning was super slow for me, the first half of the book actually - but then it picked up quite a lot and got exciting! Sometimes I love books like that, sometimes I hate them, depending on what the pace feels like in the beginning, this one was just plain slow to me.

I loved the dragon aspect of this book - it felt very how to train your dragon to me at some parts - which was all exciting and fun.

I liked Asha's fierceness and her just.. need and want to be independent - I really think this book had very well rounded heroes/villains - just enough to despise a few and love others - plus the dragons .. who cant love that. Just wish the beginning would have been just as pumped up as the end.

I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it in theaters when it first came out and enjoyed it then and I've found myself watching it every once in a while just to revisit it. I really love the cast, I love the plot, I love the lightheartedness of it all. I don't think it's such a bad thing that it's not a movie that particularly pushes your brain to think too much. I like that it's a comedy and even more that they read Fifty Shades of Grey. I think the jokes are 10 times funnier if you've read those books because they make so much more sense.

It's a fun, lighthearted film that I'm sure will make you laugh - either because you think it's funny or because you think it's bad. Either way, a laugh is a laugh, right?

The cast
Not as good as the first or second but holds it own with the characters that we have come to know. All of them are distinguishable and have pretty much equal screen time to show their different personalities. Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan are my favourites and whilst using animals in films makes me feel uncomfortable I did love the monkey.
Good entertainment that all the family should enjoy.

I devoured this book!
I found the idea of "mermaids" a bit hokey, but decided to give this a try. I'm so glad I did! It's so refreshingly well written and I was hooked after the first page. I love horror stories and have always been fascinated by the Mariana Trench and the Challenger Deep. I can't wait to read more by this author! Oh, and the audiobook is superb. I absolutely loved the narration.
