Contains spoilers, click to show
I am a huge fan of dry humor and coming of age stories. This movie was a nice surprise, and without too many spoiler trailers out there, I was really not expecting anything. The movie had a great flow, and the interaction between mother and daughter was so real and emotional. The only complaint I have is that the movie was so abruptly ended. I enjoy leaving it open-ended for the imagination, but I feel like the last 15 minutes completely changed the flow of the movie and lead us to believe there was going to be one more reveal that never happens. I didn't need a complete summary, but I did want to know just a little bit more.

Want hear the most annoying sound in the world.
Ok. This the Jim Carey we kind of grew up with. Crazy,zany,funny, no limits in this character for him. Jeff Daniels reaches in and pulls out his inner Carey in this wacky film about two idiots who take a cross country trip to return a briefcase to woman they both don't know. I don't believe I have laughed so hard in a theater in my life and I still crack up every time I watch it. I can't wait til one day my daughter is old enough to see it and understand the comedy. Danger lurks around each corner but, being the idiots they are they slip right around it.

Not a bad sequel
Same movie revolving aorund the same three moms (Kunis,Khan and Bell) but this time it's Christmas time and there has to be a twist and what better than there moms coming of the big holiday. Needless to say the moms show up early and they need a let loose scene which this time takes place in the mall at the height of Christmas shopping. Each daughter has certain types of problems with their mother in their own way and that is the basis of this movie. The first one was fun and original while this copies that same frame but, adds in enough fun and excitement that makes it at least a one time watch.
jmercado (1 KP) rated Bound by Honor (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, #1) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
<strong>3.5 stars</strong>
Bound by honor introduces us to Aria, daughter of a member in the Mafia. When the head of 2 rival mafia gangs come together to join forces, they agree that the only way would be marriage. Aria is to marry the next in line for Capo.
This book takes you on an roller coaster of emotions and I kept wanting to turn the page to find out more.
The only flaw, (and this is just my personal opinion because I don't like frail and petty lead women ) was in the beginning Aria frustrated me to no end with how weak she was. But the book progressed well and actually made sense to why they had her like that as her character developed more .

Nothing New
I've seen specials on this kidnapping case before, and most of them were slanting towards the parents doing something to their daughter. I watched the first two episodes and noticed it was going at a snails pace. Netflix seriously took 8 episodes to tell us absolutely nothing new. They could have cut it to 4 eps and it would have been much better. I did like that it showed more aspects and theories, but again, they amounted to nothing. It was also interesting to see that there were repercussions for the media reporting all of those crazy headlines. Some of the episodes used the same sections of interviews 2x, and I thought that I was having deja vu.

A quiet place part 2
Contains spoilers, click to show
So this film is exactly like A quiet place. So much so its bordering on plagiarism! It follows a family and the teenage daughter is deaf. Cue weird monsters that kill people and the only way to stay safe is to be quiet - sound familiar? The only difference is the inclusion of a weird religious cult. In general its really well put together and the acting is top notch especially Stanley Tucci & the very good Kiernan Shipka. The biggest problem with this is that it builds up ok towards a climax that is over before it starts. Seriously the most rushed ending ever. So an ok film with a crappy ending.

All on board for a train full of Zombies
Wow! What a film!.A zombie film that actually delivers thrilling action scenes..characters you can care about and doesn't rely on CGI special effects.
The story is simple with an outbreak of a virus that infects people and turns them into raging zombies.The main character is on the aforementioned train taking his daughter to her mother for her birthday when all hell starts breaking loose.
I dare anyone not to get a lump in their throat when it comes to the ending.
An awesome movie that deserves to be seen by all before the inevitable piss poor american remake comes along.

Mum seeks revenge for murder of her family
Pretty much knew what I was going to get watching this but decided to give it a go none the less.
Jennifer Garner witnesses her husband and daughter slaughtered and decides to go after those responsible and their boss when the court decides they should have no case to answer.
The usual revenge movie cliches are all present and correct in this film (corrupt judge..corrupt cop etc) and you pretty much know what to expect once she starts her down her path of own justice.
An ok movie with a good performance by garner.Worth a watch if your in the mood for some good old fashioned action and revenge.

Top-class drama from the people who brought you a bunch of other good films without getting famous for it. A troubled veteran lives with his daughter in a national park; he has a pathological need for privacy and independence; she loves her dad and so goes along with this, at least until the film starts.
Excellent performances, wonderfully clear and understated storytelling, and sense of humanity and generosity define what is by any measure an extremely fine film. It's about growing up and finding your own way in the world, but also about family and responsibility and lots of other things - yet it never feels heavy or preachy. Almost certain to prove one of the best of the year.

Was immediately hooked on this book! Think I have a new top MC Series to add to my list of favorites! I absolutely LOVE Raven, growing up the only daughter of an MC President, this girl is as tough as you can imagine. Bash, as bad a$$ as he may be, going from Club Enforcer to President, he is a complete softie when it comes to Raven. As much as these two have gone through and the mistakes and trials they have made along the way, I still have no doubt these two belong together and can't WAIT to hear more of their story! Diving right into the next book!!! One day read for me, I couldn't put it down!?
