417. Under the Silver Lake. A pretty wild mind bender, head scratcher, what the fuck just happened good time! A great recommendation from the Movie Ninja, thank you. We meet Sam, he's kind of a slacker, and about to be evicted from his pad, but he is dating a very nice prostitute. One day hanging out on his patio, he spies a beauty, Sarah, chilling by the pool, and meets her later on while hanging around her dog. And after fun night of chilling, poof, she disappears. And Sam apparently really felt a connection with Sarah over those 2 or 3 hours because this dude goes on a hunt for this girl. Through a crazy couple of dreamlike days we follow Sam through some insane conspiracy theories that lead him through a hobo underground, complete with its own king (Fisher King?) secret sex drug parties, getting crazy to a Brimful of Asha (Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow) and of course the billionaire cults preparing for the afterlife. Think Alfred Hitchcock, Brian DePalma and Stanley Kubrick got together for a movie, and it turned out pretty sweet! Starring a former Spider-Man and a former Venom (didn't recognize him at first, Foreskin is all grown up) But yea, I really liked it, gets pretty crazy!! Check it out! Filmbufftim on FB!

If you have a weak stomach then read at your own peril
Since I'm torn between four stars and five stars then I will give this crazy read four and 1/2 stars. I don't think that crazy is the correct term for what I need. This read had some sick and repulsive scenes .... definitely some of the best I've encountered in some time and contains just the right amount of evil and chaos that pushes your mind into boundary lines that you never knew existed. I recommend you read this book when you have the time to do it all in one sitting because if it hadn't been for prior commitments, that's exactly what I would have done... read it all in one day. The author's writing style and descriptive prose make this a MUST read. However, if you have a weak stomach then read at your own peril.

I'll start by saying that the only reason I read this was because of this reading list on BookLikes: http://booklikes.com/apps/reading-lists/146/books-to-fall-in-love-with

3.75 stars.

I was going to give it a 3.5 rating until that last 10% or so when we meet Abby's mum. She's crazy but it was fun reading so I bumped it up a little.

I'll admit it was a bit of a crazy story but it was written in such a way that I didn't want to put it down. Abby came across as a little nutty, but fun young woman while Brodie was this tough, brooding mercenary. It seemed unlikely that anything would happen but boy did it.

Reading their relationship happen was quite fun but I have to admit some of the story just seemed a little unreal.

Nevertheless I liked it.
  
Naked Lunch (1991)
Naked Lunch (1991)
1991 | Documentary, Drama, Horror
Cockroach Typewriter
Naked Lunch- is a cronenberg film, it has all of his signautre tropies- horror, sci-fi, insane, crazy, psychological, suspense and drama. This one has to be one of the crazies films he has ever done. Its really insane.

The Plot: Blank-faced bug killer Bill Lee (Peter Weller) and his dead-eyed wife, Joan (Judy Davis), like to get high on Bill's pest poisons while lounging with Beat poet pals. After meeting the devilish Dr. Benway (Roy Scheider), Bill gets a drug made from a centipede. Upon indulging, he accidentally kills Joan, takes orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, ends up in a constantly mutating Mediterranean city and learns that his hip friends have published his work -- which he doesn't remember writing.

Naked Lunch has since become a cult film, acclaimed for its surrealistic visual and thematic elements.

Its a crazy movie. A must see film.

2017 | Crime, Documentary
A great twist in this true crime documentary
A remarkable and intriguing true crime documentary slightly different to the usual Netflix films. For one, there are moments of optimism, and an incredible twist that exonerates this young father from the murder of a 16 year old witness. He was in the firing line for the death penalty, but something rather crazy happens so it's totally worth the watch.

I loved the general storyline. The places he went, the things he saw, the people he met. (0 more)
Unfortunately, over 3/4 of this book is simply him talking about how great he is, or how much everyone loved him, or trying to be unsuccessfully poetic. I had to skim most of it because he was driving me crazy! (0 more)
This book could have been half as long and twice as enjoyable.

I got this book as a Free Friday selection on my Nook Color. It was a quick, easy read. To be honest, at first I wasn't sure about it. Once I got into the story however I founc myself laughing and crying right along with Ginny as she traveled across the world trying to figure out her crazy aunt. I look forward to reading the sequel, The Last Little Blue Envelope.
