Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated Florida in Books
Jan 17, 2018
I particularly enjoyed the story of the mother who takes her two young sons to France to escape the tropical summers and her restless life. It is detailed and you get a sense of her edginess throughout, worried that something may happen to her children or to have an unpleasant encounter with their overbearing landlord.
My only gripe would be that because each story is not clearly signposted, the flow of the stories become confusing and it takes a minute to realise you've begun a whole new chapter. It is a bit jarring, so shorter stories became completely unmemorable as a result. However, it is a pleasant read overall, I enjoyed her writing style.

The movie begins with Logan and Xavier the latter taking care and doing what he can to support the two.
There is a lot of death in this movie and we the watchers have to deal with Wolverine and his struggle with keeping himself alive after the experiments done on him has begun to poison his body. He does find out he has a kick ass daughter and ends up trying to keep her and several other mutant children safe as they journey to Canada to escape the crazy ass government people who want to turn them into weapons and studies etc.
In the end he does what he begrudgingly sets out to do that costs him dearly.

On to the movie itself people of certain age would remember watching old tom and Jerry cartoons including me and I used to love them as child always cheering on Jerry mouse trying to escape tom the cat and always exceeding.
So watching the movie brought memories of those Saturday mornings the humor the slapstick the pain on Tom's face as he's hit by some object or being chased by spike the bulldog all there. And there's the human acting not so great saving grace for me is chloe grace moretz who steals the show for me but there wasn't enough Ken jeong for me just needed a bit more then I would have been happy. Overall glad to be back In my local cineworld again
