To say the least this film made me jump several times during the film when u think the cretures are going to attack. Not many films can do that to me. Anyway loved the movie intresting take on monster movie that attacks on sound. Emily blunt plays the mother under threat protecting her family while especally pegant john krasinski also stars and directs as the father does well for first time director thimbs up

Interesting take on the origins of the Ape world
A really interesting take in the origins of the Ape revolution. I enjoyed this a lot. Andy Setkis as Ceaser deserves all the exclaim he got, and Franco gives a good performance

 my one gripe is that it felt a tad long and for me would have worked better around 90mins.

Well I have to say it did take me awhile to get through this book. It wasn't bad, but there were a few parts that seemed to drag a bit. The story is interesting, a twist on a classic which is a tricky prospect. This was done well.

"This is a brilliant, improvised, one take illustration of the constant inventiveness of Colin Fisher, who plays guitar and saxophone on my new album. It’s music in a very different context from what I make in some ways, and yet when he came to record with me on Suddenly, he was just as at home in that world as he is here"

Movie Favorite

"It's different with films. I don't listen to old music, but with films, a film that I love, I watch over and over again. There's a film called Jean Des Florette and the sequel's called Manon Des Sources, that I absolutely love and it's made in the '80s by Claude Berri. It's such a beautiful film. Again, the characters are so beautifully drawn, they're so subtle and lovely. I always take it on tour with me and it's a real comfort. I watch it night after night on tour. It's like music to me, it makes me happy."

I had a lot of of fun with this book. I've never been one that's into poetry. I have nothing against it, but I never gravitate towards it. I found Milk and Honey through a lot of posts on the internet. Snippets of the book are constantly on Pinterest and Instagram. When I loved some of those snips, I decided it was worth it to pick up the book. I ate through the book in one sitting. It had me happy. It had me hurting. It had me crying. It had me feeling strong. It's a really beautiful book. To me, it read very much like a story line. You could follow it from beginning to end. The note that it ends on it's really great. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who isn't necessarily a fan of poetry or isn't familiar with it. It feels like a good stepping stone into a modern take on poetry.

Repeat offender
This is one of the films I put on as a background noise and is instantly quotable. A fun take on the macho tough guy cop movies that focuses on the less heroic but equally useful roles in the police force. Will Ferrell is always a force of extreme comedy and Mark Wahlberg tries to play it serious but complements the relationship with Will.

I'm a peacock, you go to let me fly!!!
