Alright but Not Much Better than the First Book
After reading the second book, I've decided two things. Number one; Cassie is an awful main character and number two; jumping between multiple points of view kills the story. Cassie irritates me beyond belief, she's shallow, self absorbed, and makes for some cringe worthy moments that almost made me stop reading. Evan already seems to defy every piece of logic and when you find out more about his kind in this installment seems even more impossible, not to mention his ability not to die borders on stupid. Ringer is probably the only reason I continued to read it, she's an interesting character that for me captured exactly the accurate emotional response to what is happening around her...even if there were some moments with her character that were just as shallow as Cassie. The storyline itself is a masterpiece, but the characters let it down. The 5th Wave was a challenge to read, this one not so much as the story doesn't solely focus on Cassie, I hope the next one is better...

A masterpiece
After rewatching this David Lean masterpiece last night, it reaffirmed my view it is truly epic and one of the greatest films of all time.
When a British regiment is captures in 1943 and imprisoned in a Japanese labor camp, it is a battle of wills between the British commander and the Japanese camp tyrant. After a lengthy standoff, it is decided the British officer will be in charge of rebuilding the faulty bridge which had been begun earlier in a better location with a more stable foundation.
Meanwhile an American solider escapes, is rescued and ordered to return to the same camp to aide the British soldiers in destroying the bridge before it can be used.
The cinematography is glorious and the film never looked so beautiful on my 65" 4K TV. The colors were vivid and the atmospheres stunning, epic and mesmerizing.
Alec Guinness and William Holden are two of my favorites and these are the best roles of their career.
Take a moment (or 2 hours and 40 minutes) and give yourself the pleasure of watching this.

Eastwood's best is still Eastwood's best!
On the eve of Eastwood's latest and maybe final film "The Mule" hitting theatres in a few weeks, I decided to rewatch his 1992 Best Picture winning effort to see if it still packs a punch as a subtle masterpiece.
Retired outlaw and present farmer William Munny decides to perform one final execution with his friend Ned and the Schofield Kid after they hear the tale of a prostitute being disfigured by a disgruntled customer. In the process, they have a run in with the local badass sheriff who has his own kind of law he dispenses at will.
It's cliche to say all westerns look beautiful since their nature is to capture the Old West in all its majesty and landscape; however, the cinematography here is the true star. The look of the film is stunning (especially on my new 75" TV) and moves you into this world immediately.
Eastwood, Hackman and Morgan Freeman form one of the greatest movie trifecta performances ever and the acting prowess on display is hard to match.
