Honest refelction
Filmed after Jimmy had died and allegations of his sexual abuse arose (due to his death he was never convicted) Louis re examined his friendship and knowledge of Jimmy. Hard to watch in place as Jimmy was a pedophille hiding in plain sight and some to at times almost reveal himself as that. Louis focuses on what went wrong and why no-one had the bravery to come forward swooning including himself and his initial programming. Genuine and filmed to show the true horrors of Jimmy's actions.

You’ll Be Glad You Met Jimmy Cooper
Jimmy Cooper was a cliché of a child actor, but he’s turned his life mostly around and is now a PI in LA, working freelance as well as cases for his mother’s law firm. When his latest case ends with him in a pursuit around the city, he gets another dose of fame, which leads him to some new clients. One such client is Alicia Crowley, a young woman about to get her inheritance. But she thinks someone is attempting to kill her and wants Jimmy to keep it from happening. When the prime suspect, her uncle, turns up dead, Jimmy must figure out how to keep Alicia out of jail. Is Jimmy in over his head?
Yes, the title does give a clue about the content of the book. Although I will say, it felt like it was used appropriately and not as a writing crutch. If that kind of thing doesn’t bother you, you’ll find yourself loving this book. The story takes a little time to set things up, but it never feels like it is dragging. The mystery is entertaining and reaches a logical climax. The characters are strong, especially Jimmy, who gets some great development in the book. Yet there is a nice layer of comedy, too. It’s an addictive mix that I breezed through faster than I thought I would. I’ll definitely be back for more.

The Sunshine Man is set in two timelines: 1989 and 1971.
In 1989, Bridie prepares to find and shoot the man, Jimmy Maguire, that murdered her sister upon his release from prison. She follows him as he’s picked up from the prison gates by his daughter, and as she drives him to old haunts and to visit his family.
In 1971, Jimmy and Providence are good friends. Jimmy and his family are outcasts, undesirables, always in trouble with the police. Providence can see beyond this with Jimmy.
This is such a sad story of family in all its guises (good and bad), revenge and redemption.
The Sunshine Man is a slow burn, but I found it worthwhile. I really got to know the characters, whether I really wanted to or not. Some were distinctly unpleasant people, but the motivations for their actions, whilst not excusable, were explained. I certainly won’t be forgetting this book in a hurry.

Survive The Night
Run All Night- is really good film. The action, the suspense, the thrills, the drama and the drama.
The plot: Longtime hit man Jimmy Conlon (Liam Neeson), best friend of mob boss Shawn Maguire (Ed Harris), has seen better days. He's haunted both by the sins of his past and a police detective who's been breathing down his neck for 30 years, and the only comfort Jimmy has is whiskey. However, when his estranged son (Joel Kinnaman) becomes a mob target, Jimmy figures that the only way to atone for his past mistakes is to make sure that his son doesn't wind up at the wrong end of a gun.
I do recordmend watching this film.

Loved that Jimmy gave Flynn that time!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 2 in the Falling for You series. I have not read book 1, Falling for the Professor. As far as I can tell, that book sort of runs alongside this one and so I don't think it matters if you read that one or not. I want to now go back and read that book, because Angus plays a part here and you can pick things up as you go along.
Flynn moves to Leeds to get away from his ex, after their marriage ends. He knows that Jimmy, the ex's twin brother is at uni in Leeds but he never expected to reconnect. Because Jimmy hates Flynn, right?? One drunken night later, and Flynn is questioning everything he thought he knew about Jimmy and the ex' Billy.
I loved this!!
It's wonderful, it really is. A different take on the "my ex's brother" theme and I loved how it was delivered.
Jimmy is VERY different from his brother, Billy. And Flynn realises that quickly. But Flynn loved Billy and still does, and his feelings for Jimmy are confusing him greatly. I loved that Jimmy is patient, he has been waiting for Flynn for years. He knows that Flynn needs time to work through his feelings and emotions about everything and he will wait.
I loved that Jimmy gave Flynn that time. Flynn is trying to come to terms with the end of his marriage, but when others point out how Billy treated him, it makes Flynn think. When you are in that sort of relationship, you really do not see what's happening but after? The red flags are all there. And Flynn needs to come to terms with what Billy did to him.
But when Billy finds out?? The man takes it to the next level and Flynn's blinkers are left in the dust and he can see things much more clearly.
I loved that Jimmy's parents were happy for Flynn and Jimmy. They saw them together years ago, before Billy, so they were really pleased by it all.
AND!!
First person, present tense and multi POV! And I loved it! Maybe I'm getting over my dislike of books written this way, I didn't even notice til I was writing this review and filing it. SO, very well played!
