Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated For the Sake of Vicious (2020) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 2, 2021)
For The Sake Of Vicious really takes you down a road of shocks and brutal violence and really doesn’t hold back when the action kicks in with almost every household item being used by Chris and Romina to defend themselves from the invaders. There are some stomach-churning moments during this movie...

How many more days before things change?
This book is incredibly valuable. Whilst focusing on the lives of ten young individuals whose lives were tragically cut short Younge also focuses on the history of gun violence in those communities as well as research on this dilemma. Together, these elements create a compelling novel which open the eyes of the reader to the injustices that occur due to gun violence, whilst also ensuring that common assumptions and misconceptions are brought into the limelight. Due to the nature of this novel it is my belief that it should be read a chapter at a time to allow for contemplation and reflection on the disastrous events contained within its pages.

I didn't think much of this film. I didn't like the graphic violence although I could watch it, unlike my husband who fast-forwarded through it as it made him so uncomfortable. Whilst I felt compassion for the two ladies in the film because of the violence dealt to them, I didn't actually care about their characters because we weren't told anything about them, they just popped up on screen to be shagged or beaten. Obviously the main character, Lou Ford, had a disturbing upbringing but the flashbacks didn't really explain to me how many years later he out of the blue decided to start killing people?
The ending was ridiculous, did no one smell or notice the accelerants he had smothered the house with?

Awix (3310 KP) rated The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) in Movies
Aug 1, 2020
Outstanding western starring and directed by Clint Eastwood. The American civil war transforms ordinary farmer Josey Wales into a ruthless, deadly gunfighter - but when his side is defeated, is there any chance he can leave violence behind and find a new life?
Made just as the western was going out of fashion as a genre, there's a strikingly elegiac quality to this film - it includes all the requisite action and violence, but also considers wider issues about what it means for people to try and live together. Brings real heart and soul to the slightly cartoony character Eastwood played for Sergio Leone. In some ways this is a very serious film, but it also works superbly as a piece of entertainment.

Mistress America steamrolls through its mesmerizingly dense running time with such joyous violence that its themes only bubble up to the surface in retrospect, the heart of the movie identified like the dental records of a body that’s been burned..

Good cast
Unnecessary reboot
An ok run of the mill standard reboot of a classic film. It has a decent cast but the real issue is it's only a 12a rating film where the original was well known for the violence. Some parts are similar to the original but it pales in comparison overall.

I absolutely love this series! I can't wait for the next Book! The book is about Selkies and is Acton packed, and violence and a page turner....I couldn't put it down! And at the end, I didn't see that Coming! Great book series a Must read. I received an ARC copy for an honest review.
