Best spiderman by far
Move over maguire and Garfield, Tom Holland has finally filled the spot of spiderman. Nothing against the other to but Tom has hit the nail on the head when it comes to being spiderman. Great action and the film didnt have to rely to much on cameos such as Iron man. By far one of the best Marvel films and ive just recently got my tickets for Thor Ragnarok which may now not be the best marvel film of the year as expected.

I have read several Kristin Hannah books and enjoyed every one that I've read to date. I must say that this one takes the cake however. I don't think there was a chapter in the entire book that didn't bring tears to my eyes or have me laughing or even cussing out one of the characters.
This book tells the story of Jolene & Michael. He is a successful criminal defense attorney, she is a Black Hawk helicopter pilot in the National Guard. Michael has always thought Jo's involvement in the service was strange to say the least. Like many couples, Jo & Michael were watching their marriage crumble to pieces. After Michael makes a particularly heart wrenching admission, Jo finds out that she is being deployed with her Raptor unit to Iraq, which of course includes Jo's best friend & next door neighbor Tami. The book centers around this deployment and the effects it has on Jo, Michael, & their 2 young daughters. It is both heart breaking and encouragining. You will find yourself rooting for Michael and Jo, but for very different reasons.
I will warn you however, it is not all happy endings. Of course how could it be when war is involved?
Bottom line....READ IT!

Best sequel ever made
Take what you know know about sequels and throw it away. A rareity happens in this film when the second movie is better than it's orginal and that is hard to do when the first movie is one of the best movies ever.
The continuation of the Corleone family out in vegas trying to set their family up for ever. We also get a glimpse of the life of Vito Corleone when he first came to this country. The tie ins of these two stories make this one of the most studied sequels of all time. We see the now older Michael as head of the family and the young Vito getting his feet together. It is kind of like watching MIchael follow in Vito's steps the whole way through. Of course there is tradgey with family involved especially in betrayal and the loss of close friends. A must see
They do make a third to close out the story but eh

Take that accusers!!
A young boy called Jordan chandler was one of Michael Jacksons biggest fans, him and his mother became good friends of his but befriending this family became the biggest regret of his life as he was accused of abusing him, which encouraged 5 more accusations once they knew they could get money from him. This documentary was put together by the people who knew him best, every single accusation is debunked and fact checked with phone interviews and documenting evidence. Completely blows everything out of the water.
If you have any doubt whatsoever that Michael was innocent, then give this a watch.

Evil dies tonight
Just watched liked it as a sequel but preferred the previous one I will say this straight off this one is the most goreist of all the Halloween the body count in this one is high. Some of the best parts of the movie is seeing the events of the movie thru the townsfolk of haddenfield who were there during the first film who decided to go vigilante on Michael. Also I like the call backs to the first one with will pattons officer hawkins. Overall good sequel bring on the third part and maybe the end of Michael myers

The large garage sale Meg and Michael are throwing to clean up their new home is drawing huge crowds. Sorry, the body in that trunk isn't included. The humor had me laughing the entire way through, and I thought this was the best mystery of the series. Very well done.

David McK (3251 KP) rated Death Masks (The Dresden Files, #5) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
So far, all the Harry Dresden books have been very enjoyable, but this has to be one of the best.
Harry is hired by a representative of the Vatican to retrieve the stolen shroud of Turin, while he's also been challenged to a duel by a vampire ofthe Red Court: a duel, they say, that will end the war between the White Council of Wizards and the Vampire Red Court (a war precipitated in an earlier novel). This also sees the return of Michael Carpenter, as well as Harry's ex Susan Rodriguez (still struggling with her semi-vampiric state), and (due to the subject matter) also builds up more about The Knights of the Cross (first introduced, along with Michael, in Grave Peril).

Prequel film to Michael Bay's Transformers series of films based on 80s cartoons, and a strong contender for the best of the bunch!
With Michael Bay handing over directing duties to Travis Knight, it's actually possible to see what is happening on most of the action sequences now, with those sequences not as frenetic or as bombastic as before.
This is also smaller in scale, with only Bumblebee (that's the yellow Transformer) himself and a few Decepticons sharing the screen, although Optimus Prime does get a cameo and a few mentions!
I also got a very 80s, very Amblin-esque vibe from the whole thing, very much due to it's small self-contained setting and themes of family and growing up!
