Bostonian916 (449 KP) rated Everybody's All-American (1988) in Movies
Aug 5, 2020
Everybody's All American follows a 25 year span in life of a college star football player who goes on to the NFL. The movie starts off in the senior year at LSU for Gavin "Ghost" Grey and follows him through many life events culminating in a 25 year celebration of that teams championship run.
The message as indicated by synopsis and trailer is that the love of the two main characters conquers all and guides their decision making throughout their lives. That isn't the case at all. At times there is some decision making that is decidedly outside of their relationship altogether, when it comes to business and other things.
The cast was good. Dennis Quaid is always a charmer. Jessica Lange did a good job, as well. John Goodman was exceptional is his role, though his role wasn't a needed addition to the film in my opinion. What was achieved by his characters presence could have been done much more effectively. Timothy Sutton did not disappoint, though I personally forbid him from ever wearing a mustache again.
Anywho. Weird little film. Not as sports related as it would lead you to believe.

Merissa (13409 KP) rated Internship with the Devil (Shut up and Kiss me #1) in Books
Sep 4, 2020
Internship with the Devil is the first book in the Shut Up and Kiss Me series and we meet Brock and Grace. Their relationship is tumultuous at times but with a solid grounding in friendship first. This is a slow-burner that will keep you hanging on, just waiting for that first kiss!
I loved how the tension was there all the way through but both of them were completely professional. I'm not saying I didn't want something to happen, just that I can appreciate it not happening! Although Brock holds his cards close to his chest, Grace has the ability to wriggle beneath his guard and gets him to loosen up. She is a hard worker and isn't prepared to dramatise things for no reason.
There is a brilliant supporting cast of characters and I hope that some, if not all, of them have their own stories in the future.
A wonderful read that I highly recommend.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Educating Rita (1983) in Movies
May 18, 2020
Julie Walters makes a memorable movie debut in this surprisingly moving comedy-drama. Caine plays Frank, a boozy lecturer and (he thinks) awful teacher who is slightly baffled by Rita, a bright but uncultured new student who wanders into his office one day. She wants more out of life, and thinks studying literature will help her get it. But is she right? And what can they learn from one another?
Very well written and extremely well-played, the heart of the film is the relationship between the two of them and how it slowly changes over time: not really a romance or a friendship, but something still powerful and very affecting. As well as the shifting dynamic between them, the film is also about many other things: snobbery, both standard and reversed; class; the purpose of education; what it means to be a teacher, and much more. The origins of the piece as a two-handed stage play are fairly obvious, and funding issues mean it is set (distractingly) somewhere in the little-known Liverpool-Oxbridge-Dublin region, but the story and performances are strong enough for these not to be serious issues. A very fine film.

Amria ( cursed book 2)
By Meg Anne & Jessica Wayne
She loved him, and he was going to die.Skye Giovanni's visions have always felt like a curse, but never more so than now. Plagued with nightmares of a future she cannot escape, Skye must do the impossible: stop fate in its tracks.Detective Lucas MacConnell has never met a case he couldn't crack. But one night at an art gallery changed everything, throwing him headlong into the war path of an ancient Druid.Now they're hiding out in Scotland, hoping to stay out of sight long enough to find what they need to stop the Druid once and for all.Unfortunately their names are at the top of his kill list, and the only way to get off is to get him first.
Oh I loved this more than the first one. The foursome head to Scotland. Not as much action in this one but the story building was just so good! I had already worked out the revelations that they uncover but it was still really good reading them! The relationship building was also so well done and not in your face. Wonder where pope has taken Skye.

I love it
So me my sister and fiancé have been watching alot of films, I have seen this one a few times on Netflix and ordered it the other day, it finally came through and we all sat down to watch, my sister and fiancé said how shit they thought it was, me on the other hand loved it, everyone knows I love a budget comedy horror.
Sad opening when a mother is put down because she stared in a cheesy 80s slasher, now older and wiser she has a daughter max, you see there bond and relationship very fast and you see how it was taken away in one quick car crash, on the anniversary of Max's mums death she goes to the cinema to watch the film her mother was in, a fire breaks out and in a swift exit behind the screen a handful end up within the film. It's a comical fight to live and it pulls on plenty of heart strings as max is reunited with her late mother. I personally thought it was a brilliant cheesy, funny film and definitely worth the watch!!!
