Who remembers The English Patient? No one!
This is probably the first time anyone noticed The Coen Brothers. They had directed a few good movies before Fargo, but this one really put them on the map.

When this movie first came out, I told multiple people they should go see it, but I had a hard time explaining what it was about. It has a simple premise of a kidnapping gone wrong, but the characters screenplay and their accents are really what make the movie most memorable.

Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi and the rest of the cast are amazing.

I still can't believe this movie did not win. This film certainly has endured way better than The English Patient.

If you haven't seen, you must.

What to say... What to say...

I read this book for my book club. Mary Roach is an interesting writer that has always intrigued me. I was excited to read one of her books, but I will admit this is the one book that held no interest to me. The information in this book was fascinating but unfortunately it was a subject line that didn't hold my interest well.

With all of that said, I did rate this book high. It was extremely well researched and I enjoyed it for the most part. Mary Roach has a way to drag you (kick & screaming) into the book even when it is a subject line that you don't like.

All in all, this was well researched, with a lot of not so pretty details.

A real tearjerker of a documentary
It felt weird rating this documentary as "epic," but whatever.

I saw this in theaters this week and cried like a little girl. This is a documentary about a wonderful man who did wonderful things. It showcased how he cared--truly, truly cared--and it called on the audience to remember his message: that you don't have to do anything spectacular to be special. You're perfect just the way you are. You have inherent value as a person, and you deserve to be loved and to be able to love.

If ever there was a man who embodied Christian values, it was Mr. Rodgers. The interviews here were especially poignant. They have the diverse cast and crew offer their memories and opinions. Some are heartbreaking, like interview with Francois "Officer" Clemmons.

Do yourself a favor. Watch this documentary. Remember what you learned all those years ago: you are perfect just the way you are.

Are you looking for a book that is good for young readers. I know that this book is decent. I got this book that is really good. The book has life lesson in it. This book will teach your children about friendships and learn about trust.

I thought this book was heartfelt. It sweet and loveable. It has a teachable moment in it. The pictures are done well. The story is sweet. What happens when a friend does not tell you the truth. What a way this book teach a value of life lessons and in a different way to incorporate the bible in a book.

This book is good for parents to get. It a book to put your child bookshelves or your own. It teaches a lesson about lying and friendships. Your child or children will learn about them both. What is best to forgive your friend? This I really did like about the story.

"What kind of a–hole would I be without giving David Lynch some love, but I can’t figure out which movie I’d pick of his. I think I’ll have to say Eraserhead in this case, because it was his movie where he put all of himself into it, you know? Every little bit of what he could do on his own, he did it, in terms of designing things and building things and whatever he actually could do and put forth, he put in this movie. He gave it all that energy. I don’t know how many times I’ll be able to do a Kuso, just energetically. If I had to make another movie, I probably would not go as far as I did this time on my own, because it took so much energy and took me away from a lot of things. I’m sure it was like that for him, too. By the time he got to Blue Velvet, he got people who have his style worked out, what things he likes. He didn’t have to try to design every little aspect of it. Then he did, and that, to me, is something that resonates with me. I listened to the making of Eraserhead while making my movie to just kind of keep me inspired."
