"Saw it with my whole family when I was seven. Sat in my uncle Linny’s lap, I think, or next to him. He covered my eyes when Mookie rubbed ice on Tina’s areola. I saw through his fingers. I thought I was those people, but I was a child"

Ok... So a three may be awful. But this isn't that awful.
Ok... so listen... This is one of those movies that you want to sit down with your friends, crack some cold ones, and shut off your brain. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not a bad story. It's not even a bad movie. It's just one of those things that you need to watch with a bunch of other people. It's more fun that way. Watch this.

Honestly I loved reading this book. I believe every teenage or young adult females should read it, especially those going though a difficult time in life. It's very insightful on Lily Collins life and eye opening on extreme real life issues that many people experience.

There are pieces of this film that are very strong and show that the people who worked on it are talented, but this project feels more like an outlet for them to show off their abilities than the best combination of those abilities.

"It reminded me of growing up in Harlem, going downtown to chill with that mixed crowd. It was just one melting pot of people chillin'. I miss those days. We're too old to just be chillin' in the street drinking 40 ounces and shit, watching friends skateboard and crashing parties."

Midway (2019)
2019 | Action, Drama, History
Very well acted and directed film about the Midway portions of World War II and the effect that those battles had on the people involved at every level.

Visually stunning and emotionally jarring, any war movie fan will enjoy most every element of the movie and be left wanting more.

Woo, okay! So I started reading this in August and it was a mountain. The pages of the book felt like those pages you get in bibles, very paper thin with a sort of glossy feel to it. I personally loved this, though it did make the book seem a lot larger than it actually is.

The story is absolutely crazy, from start to finish. The characters immense. I was and am so scared for the characters. Nobody is safe in this book. There are people who seem to die and then come back later and for me, one of those people is just heartbreaking for me. A few, actually.

All in all, I really enjoyed The Passage.

Yeah if you could just come on on Saturday that would be great
A look into the life of working in a office and the daily crap that people have to put up with. From the annoying boss to misfit cubical mate. It also shows off how work goes in other dead end jobs. For those of us think we have it bad at our jobs have a look into the lives of these people and see if your anything like them.

"The music is so beautiful, and the people are so beautiful. I first saw this as a very young kid, and I just remember being captivated by the sensuality of the story and those moments with everyone dancing in the street. This movie opened up my world—I’d never seen black people’s lives portrayed in such an artistic, almost New Wave-y style. And I don’t know if I’d ever seen a film about black people that was this romantic."
