Dean (6927 KP) rated The Informers (2009) in Movies
Sep 10, 2018
A strange film, that seems totally random at times. It has a bit of an insight to the lives of a range of people in early 80's LA. From the spoilt rich kids, drugged up pop star, shady ex-con and a news reporter. The stories are very loosely interwoven. This is far from being anything like Crash though! There doesn't seem to be much of a plot to it at all or any conclusion. Just a brief look at their lives full of sex, drugs and 80's pop. A shame given the very strong cast list!

Awesome book! I was new to the series but knew this could be read as a standalone. After this, I'll surely be going back for more! Really loved the characters.. Bronx was a sweetheart and I loved Ryan to death.. tough as nails and determined to find out the truth about her past, she lives numb for years trying to get close enough to the one person who can tell her the truth. What she finds out is nothing like she ever expected. Excellent writing with an interesting storyline that just drags you in from the start!

Weak follow up
5 years after the original film we have a surprise sequel. The first film was OK but hardly a stand out film. This and a 3rd film were shot close together. The plot is rather silly but you expect that. I didn't like the design of the prison this time. Trying to make it look high tech and automated... With a lot of neon lights. It just looks very low budget. A few good fight scenes but little else. A shame when you look at the cast list.
Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated A Fool There Was (Sukey Reynolds, #10) in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I liked this book need a teensy bit less than #9 but i can't really put my finger on why.
Sukey and Vicky see a suspicious man passing off an envelope and then he dies in a car crash that seems very suspicious.
A head found on the beach is connected and our friends s and V are on the case .
I don't know, this one just seemed a lot more slow going for me.
I like it a lot, though!

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind (2018) in Movies
Jul 2, 2019
Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind was such a wonderful documentary. I'm sure if he was still here he'd make a sexual joke about the title. At first the tears were from laughter, but by the end they were from pure heartache and sadness. It truly breaks my heart knowing a man like himself who brought so much joy to others through his life was in the end hurting so terribly. I just want to reach through the screen and give him the sincerest of hugs. Let's all keep that spark of madness we each have lit for him. Nanu nanu.
Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Kodachrome (2017) in Movies
Jul 6, 2019
In dying there was death, in more ways than one. And to fully develop that statement you'll need to watch what is one of my favorite movies of 2017, Kodachrome. It's as moving as it is funny, and Ed Harris, Jason Sudeikis, and Elizabeth Olsen all deliver amazing performances in what I feel for each is one of their best 'film roles'. If the movie looks out of focus by the end, it's not. That'll just be the tears in your eyes. Don't let this movie flash by, like life has a tendency to, without seeing it.

It really draws you in (1 more)
Very well written
I love this book
I loved this book, it is so well written, it draws you in and makes you feel like you are there, brought me to tears a few times. This shockingly true story is a fantastic human look at the atrocities that people suffered in the most notorious concentration camps in the second world war and the real struggle to survive just to beat the Nazi's. I don't think I have read a better book about experiences in a Nazi concentration camp, heart breaking and heart warming.

Well-researched (3 more)
Entertaining
Informative
Thought-provoking
Thoroughly enjoyable podcast that covers all of my favourite subjects, i.e. true crime, cults, cryptids, UFOs, ghosts... I've listened for years and still look forward to each new release. Marcus is a master when it comes to compiling each show and provides strong, clear narrative throughout. Most of the time they successfully strike the right balance between serious and fun. The only downside for me is Henry going off at too much of a tangent sometimes! Finally the hosts are all loving dog-dads, and mental health advocates, which just makes me like them even more.
