Book Rating
The very first Sherlock Holmes novel, it's interesting reading this to see how the character is pretty much already fully formed, and to compare both Holmes and Watson to the various interpretations of each that follows.

This is where Watson first meets Holmes and takes lodgings with him in 221b Baker Street, and where Holmes science of deductive reasoning is first shared with the former following the investigation into a murder in London, that proves to have ties to the Church of the Latter Day Saints ie the Mormons.

Great all star cast film
One of those films with a massive all star cast. A group of friends who come together during World War one run into each other again in the 30s when two of them are accused of Murder. However there seems to be a secret organisation at work trying to affect the Politics of the US.
One you need to have your brain switched on for to follow a busy plot with twists and turns. Worth watching to see the talent on show starring together.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Duffy has a mysterious fever that has robbed her of her strength and left her helpless in her hospital bed. Now she's beginning to suffer from delirious dreams . . . or did she really witness a murder? Only the murderer knows for sure . . . and that makes Duffy the next victim.


Such a trip back to my teens!! I absolutely love these books and this one had a crazy little story. I need to get more of the point horrors!
  
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)
1988 | Comedy, Crime
1988 spoof movie starring the inimitable Leslie Nielson, I have to admit I recently re-watched this simply so I could prepare for the new 2025 film of the same name, which is supposed to be a continuation of the same (with Liam Neeson playing Frank Drebin Jr, the son of the protagonist of this).

This is full of visual gags and puns, not all of which land, with Nielson admirably deadpan throughout. Slight cringe in that his partner, here, is OJ Simpson from back before his arrest, trail and imprisonment for murder.
