Movie Favorite

"Anyway, the next one I have to say is Milestones, and that’s just because of the massive impact it had on me in general and by Robert Kramer and John Douglas. Basically, this movie put within me emotions and memories that I never had, and I was feeling them in the theater as if I had them. There’s a scene where John Douglas is playing – I think he’s playing the saxophone, and the other guy is doing some ceramics, and it’s just such a happy moment, and it’s so small. But in that moment, I’m just with them 100%, and then there’s a birth in the movie, and the birth, you’re feeling elated. Not because it’s a beautiful thing in the world, but because you’re feeling the kind of coming in of a new life as these parents. And there’s just something about the cinematography, the people, and the characters, and the colors of it all. It’s an amazing movie. And I remember watching it being like, “OK, you can do this to an audience.” That was mind-blowing."

2020 | Crime, Documentary
Crime documentaries are, by far, my favorite programs to watch. Last week Hulu released FX on Hulu, and this was the first non-fiction show from FX.
It's a nice, tight, four episode series about a guy who tracked down his birth mother, and subsequently his father, who he believes is the Zodiac Killer. It was completely engaging, and the evidence was compelling.

To avoid spoilers, I have to stop there. It's well worth the watch and I highly recommend it.
  
Awesome book

This book was so good, from start to finish Carol holds your attention. This book had a bunch of research put into it, it's partially about 9/11 and what some of the people who survived went through during and after it happened. It's weaved in wonderfully with a story about a women who left her daughter at birth, and comes back into her daughter's life; and that of the father's as well. Great read and a truly wonderful book.
