Entertaining.
For a third instalment, many years later, it not bad. Great to see some more classic Dr Grant, and the Spinausaurus is badass! The stuff with the raptor is a little out there, and some scripting issues, but it is with a watch.
It did seem to have divided JP fans, so check it out, and see what you think.

"Why didnā€™t you marry?ā€ Iā€™ve often been asked. Maybe itā€™s because my father took me to see Ingmar Bergmanā€™s Scenes from a Marriage, three hours long, when I was fourteen years old. So this is what adults talk about when children are out of the room! Little did I know that most searing breakups do not include lovers who are this articulate, this prescient."

Watched all episodes in one go - it was that mindblowing
I wondered what all the hype was about until I started watching this gripping true crime documentary series on Netflix. After the first episode, where it seems like a slightly average episode about the death of a nun, I did think what the deal was, until the second episode and literally shouted at the TV screen. The claims are explosive and jaw dropping. If you loved Making A Murderer, then this is definitely worth a watch.

Well we meet up with Spencer once again. Only this time it in this hometown. What would you do if you were in a town but did not know what was happening and their seems to be several murders popping up?

Well this book is filled with it and drugs for that matter. Spencer as invited his friend Craige to Aspen, Colorado to spend time with and see what Aspen is like. The author does well with the plot. He does not disappoint.

This book is filled with lots of action and some thrills. Can Spencer and Craige solve the mystery and crimes and find the murder? The plot thicken as you read. Why and what is up in Aspen? I believe that this book is only good for 17 and older though that is up the parent to decide. I suggest this it got drugs and sex scenes involved. I would rather the child or children be advised and also have their parents approval.

I enjoyed reading this. It was both intriguing, waiting to find out what Maggie had done in the past, and heartbreaking when we did find out.

I liked the journey we went on with her going from someone who used sex as a weapon to someone who started to believe she may just be strong enough and brave enough to embrace love and what Asher was offering her if she wanted it.

Speaking of, I liked Asher from the off. Will was a little harder to like at the start but he grows on you easily as the story progresses and you realise just what he'd been willing to do to keep her a year ago.

It should definitely be read by fans of the genre.

Tommy Wiseau recommended Casablanca (1942) in Movies (curated)

 
Casablanca (1942)
Casablanca (1942)
1942 | Drama, Romance, War

"Casablanca. You see, Casablanca remind me what we have within The Room, some of the phrases. For example, I say, ā€œOh, you make my day,ā€ or, ā€œYou are tearing me apart,ā€ or whatever. Iā€™m talking about the other movie as well, just paraphrasing some of those phrases. You see, The Room, people never give us credit, okay? And now everything turn around because people now, and especially the critic, which can be very tough as you probablyā€¦ Including your company. But, again, let me explain something here. Hopefully you guys print this. Please donā€™t misquote me, but itā€™s nothing wrong to criticize anyone, included film, play, whatever. But it is wrong when people started doing not just a critique but get into sort of hatred mode. You know what Iā€™m saying? So I think itā€™s very important to understand the structure what I present, related to The Room now, I presented 14 years ago, based on my vision, which people did not expect it, this kind of vision, because it was, basically, it was different cookie cutter from Hollywood. I said this many times, but as you know, Iā€™ve been ignored but fans embrace that."

Cleverly written plot
I had heard so much about this story that I had to see what all the hype was about for myself. Trust me, it did not let me down! This is the new Gone Girl and I would urge you all to read it if you havenā€™t already. I awarded this story five stars as it is outstanding, well written, easy to read and I was hooked throughout. Yes! I devoured and loved it. This story made me feel many different emotions throughout and is a story I will always remember with a cleverly written plot. Readers will need to prepare themselves for many twists, turns and shocking outcomes ahead! I did not expect the outcome at all until all was revealed and I really was shocked! I cannot wait to read more by Clare Mackintosh if it is going to be as good as this. You will forget the world while reading this, I did. This is the perfect story for you ALL but more specifically for readers who enjoy a brilliant thriller, mystery, crime, suspense, contemporary and bestsellers genreā€™s. Enjoy, this is a book you will not regret buying!

Full Metal Jacket (1987)
1987 | Action, Drama, War

"I love Full Metal Jacket because Stanley Kubrick made the most authentic boot camp film Iā€™ve ever seen. It is so right on ā€” my wife is appalled while she watches it and Iā€™m sitting in the chair laughing my guts out. Kubrick was willing to take that chance [on R.Lee Ermey]. He had originally hired Ermey to be a consultant, but he realized ā€œWait a minute; this guy did it for eight years, who could do it better than him?ā€ Thatā€™s what gave it full credibility because Ermey is doing exactly what he did for eight years, and that is create Marine corp recruit boot camp kids. Itā€™s so authentic, you love it! The way the whole film breaks down, itā€™s one of my favorites."

Ok
This movie was another "be quiet or die" horror film. It wasn't too bad for what I'd label a "made for tv" movie. The acting was just ok. If you can't read sign language, you might not understand some of their conversations but you get the gist. The cinematography was decent with some cool creatures(may little things!) and effects, without getting too gory. While it played out to an open ended "anti"-climax it did show that people can sometimes turn out to be worse than the liberal monsters with the "cult" they run into. Overall this movie was good enough to finish but, in my opinion, "A Quiet Place" did it a bit better. Still, it's worth a watch if you're bored and looking for a little "creature feature".
