With the title The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot i was not sure what to think going in. This is a nice little gem i would recommend to anyone. I would not watch it again but it was good. It has some interesting ideas and worth viewing. Ehen you think it should be over you find out it is not and i think that is where i did not like it.
Yes this movie does have Hitler and Bigfoot in it.

Greatness

I love this app. I can get lost in it. I find a book add it to my list to read then look thru all the other recommendations it gives. End up adding half of those also. I have come across some great authors who I fall totally in love with their every book because it was a book recommended to me by the app. I love have they have now linked it to go to amazon so you can buy it. Made it so much easier! Only down side to me is it doesn't allow for half stars. I wish it would.

When I began this book, I really liked it. What an opening, it was immediately intriguing. I was hooked, then as I went on, it became completely predictable. Almost as though, well, I could have written the book. I liked the concept, but I nearly stopped reading. BUT, I'm glad I did, because it was a good resolution to the novel. Of course, it ended the way you thought it would. I still liked it, and am rating it so high because I loved the beginning and the end.

This would make a super cool movie, and my butt would definitely be in the seat to watch it.

Ah The Rite.......that seemed to get a few things wrong! It starts a little bit slow, and not particularly interesting. At first it seems to be something that should be taken seriously, based on true events, and it almost has a documentary feel to it. It the latter stages it does finally liven up a bit, largely due to the presence of Anthony Hopkins. Unfortunately some of the action scenes and CGI push it back into the horror realm. If it could stick to one of those paths, serious film or all out horror it would have been much better. Not a bad film but I hoped for something a bit different.

I don't think this movie was as terrible as most of the reviews said it was. It's a kids' movie, about a sibling relationship, and basically, playing with a lot of the Playmobil sets together, as kids do. It was corny and dorky at times, but that's what made it fun. The "acting" was over the top at times, but it was how kids play with the characters. It definitely was silly, but I don't think it was awful. I laughed quite a bit. You just have to accept the play world of children when you watch it. It wasn't the best movie that I've seen, but it was still fun to watch.

"I just got this in the mail one day. Some stranger in Brazil sent it and wrote, "You'll like this". Because it's a thin book, I read it. If it had been a thick book, I would have discarded it. I was shocked by how charming and amusing it was. I couldn't believe he lived as long ago as he did. You would've thought he wrote it yesterday. It's so modern and so amusing. It's a very, very original piece of work. It rang a bell in me, in the same way that The Catcher in the Rye did. It was about subject matter that I liked and it was treated with great wit, great originality and no sentimentality."

"There’s Bonnie and Clyde. That’s a film that kind of started the new wave in the ’70s. That was incredible. I saw that when I was in about the eighth grade, I think. Those characters, and also the history of Bonnie and Clyde, you know… it was something new. I remember, in fact, Bonnie and Clyde came out in either late Spring or early Summer, and then it was pulled. I think it flopped when it came out, and then they brought it back out in the Fall. I mean, I loved it when I first saw it; then they brought it back out in the Fall and it was a huge success."
