Guilty pleasure...

399. Fantasy Island. It's pretty amazing, no not the movie. It's pretty amazing when you go into something with low expectations they are usually met. And this was no different. With that mindset, I enjoyed it. I remember watching the show as a kid, but it somehow gets meshed with The Love Boat, so I remember Tattoo saying 'de plane, de plane' and Mr Roarke saying 'Welcome to Fantasy Island' that's about it. Minus Tattoo, Mr Roarke welcomes this group of 5 people to the island and explains the rules. Live out your fantasy until it's natural conclusion. Natural conclusion heh? We get two brothers on the Island simply wanting to have it all. Another guy's big dream is to enlist in the military like his daddy. Another guest's fantasy is to get revenge on her high school bully, and the final guest wants to say yes, instead of no at her wedding proposal. And everything is pretty freakin sweet for awhile until they realize that the fantasies are a little too real. Whats wrong with that? Small example: The guys that simply wanted it all. When you have it all, other people usually want to take it from you, including armed masked men! Fantasies with consequences, whats up with that??? I'd want a refund! A movie so bad, it's good. Maybe, maybe not. Guilty pleasure, sure! Filmbufftim on FB

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Coconut Island - Single by Meresha in Music

Jul 10, 2019

Meresha is a Florida-based electro-pop singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Not too long ago, she released a lyric video for her “Coconut Island” single.

“So we crossed the sea again looking to find a land where we could thrive, you and I. Then a storm came suddenly, shook us up so violently, and we lost all track of time. The warm sand beneath my cold body, I rose with the sun when you found me.” – lyrics

‘Coconut Island’ tells a dreamy tale of a young woman who enjoys a sweet-like-candy-life on a tropical island with her significant other in the summertime.

Apparently, the breezy and warm air is fresh and pure, and the deep blue sea entices them to take a swim. Later, they savor the yummy juice from coconuts while the gentle waves crash the shore.
‘Coconut Island’ contains a fun storyline, pleasing vocals, and harmonious instrumentation flavored with a tropical-pop aroma.

Also, the likable tune sends an evergreen message which states that coco is good for your soul and nature is the remedy.

Meresha considers herself an #AlienPop innovator with a wide-ranging soulful voice and quirky sonic vision.

Her last single, “Jungle Potion”, went viral, hitting a million streams within a few weeks. Also, it was included on Ariana Grande‘s official personal playlist.

Meresha has landed on the Billboard charts 7 times, including peaking at #3 on Billboard’s Next Big Chart globally.

Per The Lonely Island, Google Maps is the best.
While I love the Google Maps app, I have one issue. Mostly, because it automatically recommends toll roads over free roads. Even though I select the option multiple times, to avoid tolls, it still pops up as number one. So irritating.

Good Sci-fi Action film

A good action film with a few twists. Largely set with a couple on the run after escaping the island. The lead cast bring a touch of class to the story. Slow to start but a good 2nd half of the film.

Peter G. (247 KP) rated The Martian (2015) in Movies

Jun 12, 2019

A retelling of Robinson Crusoe for the modern Era that is well acted and executed.
The struggle is very real given that a deserted island has been substituted for Mars and Matt Damon is the Math genius/astronaut that finds ingenious ways to make food until he can be rescued!

It's a good time for a Fed Ex sponsored vacation to a remote island.

Still a great film, and really well done. Tom Hanks is amazing, and Helen Hunt does a great job with her small part.

Here's an alternate movie poster....
