Horrorifically Wonderful
I absolutely loved this. As someone who grew up watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch this was a beautifully darker twist to the story. They seemed to truly master the darker side of witchcraft and combine it with the true whimsical nature that comes with the original storyline. I couldn't look away and the season finale only left me wanting more as a anxiously wait in anticipation for the next season.

Katrina Hodge is an inspirational kind-hearted woman. I have to admit, when I first came across her book I thought she'd be up herself and like the majority of Miss.......! However, I began to enjoy her attitude and nature within a few pages. There are some mistakes in the book, perhaps an editing fault?!
Still, it was refreshing to learn all what goes into making a winner. I have to say: "It sure isn't my thing!"

Track

"She plays the harp and the piano. But what's interesting about her voice is that it's a deal breaker: People either love it or hate it, and I'm always attracted to artists who have that kind of divisive quality. Her songs are influenced by classical music, early folk, and chamber music, and she sings about nature and love and heartbreak but in very unexpected, poetic ways. And she's amazing to watch live. She's like Jimi Hendrix on the harp."

Dont have sex
Contains spoilers, click to show
So this movie was intresting, it had a intresting plot and message.

Dawn is an active member of her high-school chastity club but, when she meets Tobey, nature takes its course, and the pair answer the call. They suddenly learn she is a living example of the vagina dentata myth, when the encounter takes a grisly turn.

Its a pretty intresting horror movie, a underrated one. If your intresting do watch it.

this novel is majorly complex and detailed and offers a commentary on materialism, money, power, capitalism, and the mind that is still incredibly relevant today (4 more)
a startling question you have to ask yourself once you approach the end is if any of the narrative was reliable, and this is a question that remains unresolved even after completing the novel
the book goes into monotonous & excruciating detail, not only in its gore but also in its everyday: this can become tedious to read but this is the point as it its pointless, mundane nature that emphasises the futile, self absorbed lifestyle Bateman lives
unnerving character development with elements of the unreliable narrator making you want to reread the whole novel again, but the disturbing nature of the novel's content seems to prevent me from doing so
a book to be disgusted by, but mainly in terms of being disgusted at yourself for finding the whole thing so intriguing
incredibly difficult to read in many places simply due to how disturbing the content is (0 more)

Fox and Hound
The Fox and the Hound- I remember watching movie as a kid. Had the VHS tape, as a kid and remember watching it. Now watching it as adult, its so different. You watch it as a adult, its different than watching it as a kid. Cause you understand more about whats happening, you understand more about the plot and whats going on during the story than as a kid.

The plot: After his mother is killed, Tod the fox (Mickey Rooney) is taken in by the kindly Widow Tweed (Jeanette Nolan). He soon befriends the neighbor's new hound dog, Copper (Kurt Russell). The two are inseparable, but their friendship is hampered by their masters and by the fact that they are, by nature, enemies. They grow apart as they grow older; Copper has become a strong hunting dog and Tod a wild fox. The pair must overcome their inherent differences in order to salvage their friendship.

Its a story about friendship, betrayal, overcoming nature and getting older.

Its a great movie and classic.

Extremely grim world of night crawling
This shows the basest nature of humankind. Wrapped up in greed and death, Jake Gyllenhaal's character is almost sociopathic in trying to get ahead by being first at crimes and accidents, and selling it to the media. At times you want to look away at the sheer horror of it all, but just like an audience or consumer you keep watching the train wreck.

A good origin story
This is another Marvel comic origin story, so yes it's fairly predictable. However for me it's one of the better Marvel films I've seen in recent years. Due to its mind and universe bending nature, it has a completely different feel to the other super hero films. Benedict Cumberbatch is a great addition to the Marvel line-up, however his accent does get pretty dodgy at times. It's intriguing, funny and the special effects are fantastic.

Poignant look at how Alzheimer's affects an entire family
A wonderful but tragic look into the downward spiral of a professor with Alzheimer's through the perspective of his daughter. With short bursts of journal entries and quirky anecdotes, she documents how quickly his health deteriorates. It's bittersweet for the most part, given the nature of the subject but it is juxtaposed with the unravelling of her own life, which becomes less significant when she focuses on her father. A great read.
