Killer soundtrack (1 more)
Great ensemble cast
Alright alright alright
Love this movie!
Possibly my favourite movie and have watched and rewatched countless times.
The beauty of the movie is the familiarity of the subject matter, I was not born until 1979 but the trials and tribulations of teenage life presented here will be comfortable and accessible to any viewer.
The cast of (then) unknowns largely seem custom made for each individual character, and the casting of even the small roles was nailed with perfect execution.
The soundtrack keeps everything ticking over like a movie score, so much so I find that hearing a song from the movie will always bring my mind back to that scene (Bob Dylan "Hurricane" a standout)
Linklater would go on to do bigger films, but for my money... None better

Amazing Script
Mind blowing filming and effects
Amazing soundtrack
Mind Blowing Space Adventure
I read somthwhere recently that many amazing films start with a mundane life and then sends the main characters out of the norm and into a great adventure. This is one of those instances on a epic level. Everything about this is amazing. The storyline is huge but focused, it's adventurous in the extreme and in parts it's very imotional. I can't think of many characters like Copper who are so imotionally driven. The filming is superb, the visual effects of outer space and the planets are amazing. Hans Zimmer wows with a killer soundtrack. Don't slag this film off when I'm around or we'll be having words. I love it!
Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated 12th of Never (Women's Murder Club, #12) in Books

I am a huge fan of James Patterson. The Women's Murder Club is my favorite series. This book did not disappoint at all.
This time, Lindsay Boxer is having a baby. She and Joe Molinari successfully got married in the last book and now baby makes three. Lindsay is just getting back to work and boy does she have her hands full. A body has been stolen from the ME's office. An old case she helped the FBI on has resurfaced and there is a professor who is dreaming about murders before they happen.
All of this is a lot for a regular cop to handle, but add in the emotions of just having a baby and trying to catch a killer and will Lindsay be able to handle it all.

Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated One Deadly Sister (Sandy Reid Mysteries, #1) in Books
May 10, 2018
Ray Reid moved to Florida and didn't expect to have this much "fun". After meeting a few of the locals he finds himself in a twisted murder plot and he is the murderer, except he didn't do it. With the help of his sharp tongue sister from big city Philly, they get to the bottom of the mystery and find the real killer. This book was a real page turner. I kept wanting to pick up the book and find out what was going to happen next and why this guy would get himself into this kind of situation. The story is too sketchy to be convincing, so why is Ray in jail. Getting him out and getting to the bottom of things is what his sister, Sandy is going to do.
