Great wrestling movie.

Been looking forward to this one and I wasn't disappointed. Granted, I have to say I'm a bit biased as a wrestling diehard. But, this movie is great. Paige and her family are full, detailed characters. You can relate from the onset. Sure, the story is a bit corny and many details and events are glossed over, but it's a story about family and the dream of being a professional wrestler. It fits perfectly with the subject matter. Like wrestling, we don't need all the deep details. You just tell a great story and get the audience to feel something. Which is what this movie does. Is it the next Best Picture Oscar winner? No. But it truly is a glorious tale of the importance of family and never giving up on your dreams.

Em and Christine are maybe my favorite podcasters ever. They have a great rapport together and I love the combo of ghost stories and true crime! (0 more)

Spooky fun!

I love both Em and Christine’s story telling! I like that I hear old favorite stories from a new perspective as well as stories I’ve never heard before! I always want a glass of wine or milkshake after listening!

Mar 9, 2018

Paula Holliday thinks landing the job of bringing the gardens of the local mansion back to their former glory is a dream come true. That is until she finds a baby's body in the yard. The characters were flat and ran together. And the story progressed slowly.

This is an easy read. Very fun and inventive while staying true to the stories I remember reading.For how little some of the characters have page time, I thought Neil Gaiman did a wonderful job giving each god and goddess a believable personality. I also liked that the goddesses had a brain and were not passive characters just there to help the story along.

David McK (3816 KP) rated American Made (2017) in Movies

Mar 15, 2020

Tom Cruise vehicle, telling the (supposedly true) story of Barry Seal, an American pilot who is hired by and starts flying missions for the CIA, soon encountering the likes of Pablo Escobar and starting to run drugs for him as well.

Slow and (ironically, giving the fact that he is a pilot) plodding: perhaps this type of film is just not up my street?
