Pet sematary- is a good adaption of the novel by stephen king.
Doctor Louis Creed moves his family to Maine, where he meets a friendly local named Jud Crandall. After the Creeds' cat is accidentally killed, Crandall advises Louis to bury it in the ground near the old pet cemetery. The cat returns to life, its personality changed for the worse. When Louis' son, Gage, dies tragically, Louis decides to bury the boy's body in the same ground despite the warnings of Crandall and Louis' visions of a deceased patient.
Its haunted, terrorfying, scary and overall good.

Classic Jack Reacher....I read somewhere that every man wants to be Reacher & every woman wants him ...True or not Reacher is a refreshing change to most heros as he comes with no baggage ...physically or mentally ..allowing the reader to just enjoy the plot with no 'angst' & as there is no continuing back story the series of books can be read in any order. Author Lee Child always delivers a fast paced thrill ride with no unnecessary page filling or padding making the books real page turners that pack a punch...or sometimes in Reachers case a kick! X

"Sometimes there's beauty in the tough worlds - it's all in how you read them."
I found this difficult, not because it wasn't beautifully written and not because it wasn't a beautiful story but, because it was so close to home. Thought provoking, thought changing and a new way to look at things.
Finch is wonderfully messed up, Violet is damaged and confused. Together they mark disaster but it also brings out something all so remarkable.
“We are all alone, trapped in these bodies and our own minds, and whatever company we have in this life is only fleeting and superficial.”

Charlie's Angels is a sometimes entertaining, but mostly boring spy film. It has a talented cast for sure, but a screenplay that leaves a lot to be desired, and a lot of the jokes fall flat.
Female empowerment absolutely has a place in action cinema, a genre that is completely outbalanced in terms of gender roles, but the film as a whole zones in on it so much, that everything around it feels secondary, and as a result, the finished product is a drag.
Also, John Bosley is a villain now for reasons apparently, and I'm sad about it.

holy wowza!!
I LOVED this film. The pacing, the cinematography, the characters, the plot, literally everything about it. I loved the details and the fact that it felt real. I think sometimes films like these, especially ones Netflix does, can have the intentions of being real but they just aren't. I think there's a little bit of Ellie, of Paul, of Aster, in all of us. I am in love with this film. Alice Wu knocked it out of the park and I can guarantee I will be watching this film over and over again. I am in love.
