"Something Wild made me fall in love with Melanie Griffith and with the idea of making movies. Like Jeff Daniels’s character, I wanted to be taken on a wild ride and to take people on one. There’s both such joy and terror in here, hardness and frailty. It made me appreciate that contradictions in characters are what make us sit up in amazement at the movie theater. There’s a Ray Liotta inside all of us"

Michael John Grist has taken me on a fatastic ride with the Ocean. I have been hooked since book 1 [The Last]. Amo, Lara, Anna, and the rest have become like old friends that I get to visit with once in awhile. From the first book I stated this was a different take on the whole zombie genre theme and it has continues to evolve and take me on twist and turns, ups and downs, right along with the characters. Grist really delves into what it means to be human and that the line between good and evil often is a blurry one. I am really hoping this is not the end.

Rolling Stone's 383rd greatest album of all time
This album is proof of Talking Heads' quality - I don't recognise any of the songs (except "Take Me to the River") but really enjoyed the album. Their sound, similar to Roxy Music is so distinctive and the songwriting so strong that even a casual listener like me can enjoy it on a first listen.

Storyline
Movie of 2019???
Is this the best flick of 2019??? It’s up there for me.

A dark take on a rapidly tiring superhero genre, posing the question of What if they are not here to save us? Brightburn delivers on every level and takes the next step that was started with chronicle.

A definite must watch

I wanna be the very best!
Love this game, it is a great take on the original format, me and my son love taking a walk on an evening looking for new Pokemon together. It is very easy to use, and becomes very addictive trying to catch them all!

Darker but intriquing
Totally different take on much loved characters from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Strangely enough, this version seems more realistic to me than the original. Plus it addresses issues that have developed since the first "nice" version. Love it so far. Sometimes the acting is not so great and the lighting can be dark which, while fitting, does make it hard to see what's going on.

I could certainly appreciate the beauty of Wyld's writing, but I'm not sure that this book was the best one for me to start with. Take a look at my #bookreview on my blog here to find out more https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/08/28/scottish-shadows/

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.
