Just got through watching The Man Who Killed Hitler and then Bigfoot. I really had no idea what direction this movie was going to take going into it. While the title may sound silly, this movie is anything but. Sam Elliot delivers an amazing performance as a man whose adult life is bookended with being tasked to kill Hitler and Bigfoot, just as the title states, but the real story of the movie for me was the life of Sam Elliot's character in between those events, and how the worst kills for a soldier are the ones right at home in the deaths of relationships and such. Living a life of regrets and what if's, trying to move forward from your past, it's like walking through life with something stuck in your shoe poking your foot with each step. And to me, that's what this movie is really about. One regret you don't want in life, not watching Robert D. Krzykowski's feature directorial debut The Man Who Killed Hitler and then Bigfoot.

Amazing Sfx and animatronics bringing the dinosaurs to life
Great score by John Williams
Richard Attenborough
Another Spielberg classic
One of the first films to have the technology to make dinosaurs look real. It's a great concept, who wouldn't want to visit a Dinosaur theme park. Unlike Disney World though when things go wrong the guests don't get eaten! Probably one of my most watched films.

Very few bugs
Definitely one of the better board game apps. It has local multi-player, which works well. Online play can be difficult, as most of the players are very hardcore.
This is a great way to play the additional boards. In real life, those boards cost $40-50. But in the app, they can be acquired for $2-5.

Director PAUL GREENGRASS knows how to make a tense film based on real life events! The film is way long, but it has a lot of tense moments along the way in the places you'd expect tense moments and the as you can expect third act is full of tense moments. TOM HANKS gives his usual stoic performance, but in his last scenes in the film he's really great!

Two brothers in 1890's Montana find themselves on a ranch where mysterious things are happening. Fortunately, one of them thinks he can plan Sherlock Holmes. Can he solve this real life mystery? The characters are fun, but the plot does bog down a little in the middle.

Another amazing first read win! The note that came with the book said for ages 14-18 but it was such a real and moving story that I would recommend it to anyone. I felt Kai's pain, chuckled at some parts, and cried a couple times as well. Loss impacts everyone's lives at some point or another and this book shows how life can go on after loss.

A satirical look at the events surrounding the death of Stalin
I enjoyed this satirical look at the events surrounding the death of Stalin in 1953. It was superbly acted especially by Steve Buscemi and Jason Isaacs, both made me laugh at many places I probably shouldn't have been laughing. The scary part is that most of the more unbelievable parts of this film very likely happened in real life.

Loved this debut novel, not only did I feel as though the story was one never quite told like this I really loved the way it captured real grief and how it can tear a family apart or bring them together and now race/gender is something that almost always impacts a persons life and outlook on things, especially in a mixed race family in the early 60s.
