Daniel Radcliffe recommended Dr. Strangelove (1964) in Movies (curated)

"Dr. Strangelove showed me, I suppose taught me, a lot about comedy. The stuff that’s funniest is the stuff that scares us most — because all good comedy comes out of fear of death, fear of humiliation, fear of public awkwardness, fear of, you know, all those kinds of things. To have truly, really dark comedy where at the end of the film everyone in the world dies, that was very funny to me. I went to the Kubrick exhibition and there was this whole section on how originally the film had ended with a gigantic pie fight, and it was cut; but in a way I get what that might have been going for — the fact that it is all so ridiculous."

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated A Bad Moms Christmas (2017) in Movies

Sep 25, 2019

A whole festive light display, matching hair styles, and a request for money. When Amy, Kiki and Carla's mums (sorry moms) turn up out of the blue they quickly realise that this time they need to take back Christmas.

First Christmas film of the season... if we're not including the fact I watched Die Hard the other day. The first one was such fun that I had to go and see this one. This one is perfect girl's night viewing. I don't know what to say to this one, it's funny, and it's got a gorgeous stripping Santa... ladies, if that doesn't do it for you then I don't know what will. (Oh wait... Jason Momoa and Gal Gadot in Justice League.)

Book Rating

I borrowed this book from the library, assuming it would be another light, smut-laced Sylvia Day read. A mindless, fun, beach read. However, for a fairly short novella, Ms. Day certainly packed it with deep emotion and sincerity, which took me by surprise. Parts of the story were funny or exciting, while other parts were gut-wrenching. I was pleasantly surprised by Butterfly in Frost. The story was quite complex, emotionally, in a very short number of pages. It could have stood to be longer, and felt like it probably skipped over a lot of details in a couple of spots. However, for a novella, this really grabbed my emotional heartstrings in a stronger way than I expected it to.

Mel (490 KP) rated New Girl - Season 1 in TV

Comfort viewing, funny (0 more)

A little predictable (0 more)

Most of the time I work my way through TV series jointly with my husband but it would be fair to say New Girl isn't really his cup of tea. I started watching it on a plane though and then have binge watched when I get the chance until I'd finished the first season.

This is true comfort viewing. Short episodes, likeable characters and a romantic subplot running through the whole thing about as subtle as an elephant. The best thing about romantic comedies is waiting out the will they won't they plot (it's never quite the same once they get together). If you like friends or How I met your mother give it a go.
