Alot better than expected
Wasn't expecting to enjoy the film as much as i did. Comedy and fight scenes were brilliant. The scenes of a small nature made the film even better. It was obvious who the bad guy was to be in the film but how they portrayed him was very poor, kinda your basic old school villain, not what the film needed. Then there was the big Thomas..... loved it lol

Fabulous historical political biopic
It's easy to dismiss this as another big budget Hollywood film, however, the fact that Tom Hanks' character has to fight against the American judicial system makes it seem less like a "Make America Great Again" type of movie. Jim Donovan was a unique lawyer defending a Soviet spy, and then making an exchange for a US soldier and student stuck in East Berlin. The historical political nature of this biopic is fascinating. And while there is an element of hero worshipping, there's a good reason to love Tom Hanks.

wolf in a suit (4 KP) rated a video of Hozier by Hozier in Music

Hozier- the Irish Troubadour
As I await for what Hozier has in store for in the future, it is a nice reminder to hear this song that showcases the divisive nature of humanity as we are in a constant battle with love, lovers and the such. He understand it and does not make a rule that everyone must follow, he knows something about it: that it is ever changing and never set in stone..

I enjoyed this book. At times I did find it a little tiresome but all in all it kept me entertained and wanting to read more. I felt like the characters were easy to relate to and that I kept hoping that life would work out.

I felt that the book dragged a little bit but not enough for me to get irritated at the slow nature of the book. All in all, it kept me entertained. I may read more from this author but I think I will stick to faster paced books.

This is the first book to actually crack me up in years. Even if you don't like all the stories, everyone is bound to find at least a few they enjoy (even if you just read the zombie stories). The zombie stories range from creepy to romantic to just plain hilarious, and because they're short they're a great pick-me-up at the end of the day. Due to the mature nature of some of the stories I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone who has not yet entered high school.

Games are usually very short.
Board game for beginners
Tsuro, a game I first found out about from Tabletop episodes. This game is very much as advertised there, easy to pick up and play, and can be a bit of a laugh when you outplay others.

I very much enjoy this game, and I think the casual nature can lead much to desire, however there are times when I would like a more longer and intense game then the 5 minute short bursts.

Gripping and dry
What I love about Jane Harper's books is the biggest character is always the landscape the story takes place in. Force of nature is set in one of Australia's cold and dark national parks, rugged and unforgiving and so the atmosphere is set. Take office politics up a notch to a brutal level and add intriguing and constant suspense and you will find it difficult to not read just another chapter. If you like crime novels Harper's and human and most importantly believable. Won't get a better thriller/crime novel this year
  
Glass (2019)

2019 | Drama, Thriller
Good conclusion to the M. Night Shyamalan trilogy that started with Unbreakable and included Split.

A strong performance for Bruce Willis. James McAvoy revolutionized him self as an actor for this role (between the two movies he starred in) and Samuel L. Jackson was his usual awesome. Vera Famiga was great in her role as well.

Story culminated with a definitive conclusion (not always a given with Shyamalan) that actually had an unsettling nature to it. I highly recommend watching all three movies if you are going to watch Glass.

not your grandmas perry mason
okay so i have watched the original mason a number of times and i must say this gives you a bit more of a back story and is a very good show fast paced and action packed perry himself is a enjoyable guy and the shows plot is fantastic but my comments on the content are far too less complemetary the show is extremely sexual and violent its not for the faint at heart or those offended by sexual nature

Movie Favorite

"Gena Rowlands is a force of nature and John Cassavetes’s greatest muse. I saw this movie straight out of theater school and it shook me to the core. Her performance is electric. It was everything I love about acting: raw, dangerous, unpredictable, shocking, alive. You can’t keep your eyes off of her. It’s difficult to explain, but I didn’t know that films could do what Cassavetes does with this film. It was the film that made me see the potential that the medium could have. And it seriously made me want to be in one."
