TRIGGER DISCIPLINE is the first in a duology called Team Oh Sh!t, and it is a disaster movie turned real life for our paramedic, Blake, and his EMT, Tommy. They save three private soldiers (Gabriel, Phin, and Jude) from being k!lled by alien invaders, forming a sort of unit, all in the name of survival. A while later, they are joined by Victoria and Scott.

It is fast-paced and slow-burning between Blake and Gabriel, which makes perfect sense considering the setup. I loved how the story progressed, with the danger and the camaraderie. I also completely understood Gabriel's explanation of how long he had known Blake. Blake's brain is switched on in a way that he has struggled with in the past, but that helps him see things others can't, which helps them come up with plans of action and escape.

It finishes on a quiet note that left me wanting the next book immediately. This is a great post-apocalyptic story with characters I have come to care about. I can't wait to see what happens next. Highly recommended by me.

Relationships can be a complicated and challenge for many people. Combined with the pressures of work and modern society, it is a wonder how many people still manage to find one another and make meaningful connections.

In the new film “Sleeping With Other People”, audiences are introduced to Jake (Jason Sudeikis), and Lainey (Alison Brie), who meet by chance in a dorm, and have a very memorable evening with one another.

Flash forward years later and Jake and Lainey are struggling with relationships as Jake is a womanizer and Lainey has issued with fidelity in relationships and her self-destructive nature.

The two reunite by chance and begin a friendship which as time goes on, blossoms into something more. Of course both characters have their share of demons to contend with and have people in their past and present that have to be factored in as they struggle to grasp the rules of modern life.

Sudeikis and Brie work well with one another as their relationship seems natural and forced as they are both people trying to do the right thing yet haunted by their destructive patterns when it comes to love and relationships.

Solid supporting work by Amanda Peet and Adam Scott and the talented and enjoyable ensemble cast make the film a pleasant surprise and one that you should not miss.
