Too hot for some but not for others
The true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots (first firemen on the front line of brush fires) and their story from 2nd tier to the front lines. The movie is a complex look into their lives and hoe they became a family.

The cast for this movie is top notch and the way they portrayed them and their families was done very well

Overall, and interesting and entertaining film based on the true story of the youngest hustler/drug dealer/FBI Informant. Sadly, the trailers were better than the film. There were a lot of other random actor that didn't actually do much for the story, i.e. Jennifer Jason Leigh. Matthew McConaughey's part was smaller than advertised, I imagine he was used to sell the film, heck, it got me in the seat.

Amazing performance by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Wonderful story about the life as a famous person and the toll it can have on a human being. And finally - the importance to always stay true to who you are, and tell the world your story in your own words. They will listen, and some will stay, some will go, but at least you won't have the burden to try and please the wrong crowd.

"This true story left a hole in my head and in my heart. A woman on death row in Egypt decides that she wants to tell her story before her execution. She is in prison because she's killed her pimp, but even looking death in the eye she feels it’s the best thing she ever did, for in a weird way it sets her free. Painful, complicated, sad, and triumphant—all at once."

I was lucky enough to get a free copy of the book from the goodreads giveaway, the description of the book intrigued me as I enjoy books based on true stories. Kitty and Gordon move into their new home in medbury Devon, when after a few days strange things start occurring in the house. Hannah beamish is a legendary witch in Devon and everyone thinks they know what become of her! Or do they?. The story goes back and forth from the 1800's to nowadays. The story written in italics is the story of what happened to Hannah beamish with the 2 stories coming together at the end.
I very much enjoyed this book, it becomes very dark and quite scary at some points, which I am frightened for kitty. I would recommend this book who into ghosts/witchcraft/true events.
