Movie Favorite

"I love this film and can watch it over and over. Hal Ashby is one of my favorite filmmakers. Both the lead characters are so unique and their pairing even more so. The thing that I love about it the most is Maude’s incredible sense of freedom and her direct influence on Harold. Death awaits us all, and it’s easy to shrink in that knowledge, but she teaches him to embrace life and be himself and choose to be positive and open. Their connection is so lovely and inspirational. This film tackles life, death, and everything in between in the most entertaining way."

What goes around comes around
A sequel rarely stacks up against the original but in this case, it does.
A plot almost identical to its predecessor which quickly changes saving the movie from a copy paste review.
This better take on inception (because inception sucks) adds players to its life and death game starting off at day 1.

Includes original cast and new members, with a faster pace than the 1st, happy death day 2U is a rollercoaster of fun.
If you enjoyed the 1st, you'd be outta your freaking mind to miss this.

Dark humorous tone throughout.

Fascinating
A book about death doesn't sound like a pleasant read, but despite the subject matter this is a fascinating and really informative book.

I knew little about the work of forensic anthropologists and especially had no idea about some of the work detailed in this book, so it was very interesting to read about all of the work, difficulties and benefits involved. It's quite an in depth read and a serious one at that, so it takes a lot of concentration but in the end it's still worth it. I did get a little frustrated at how Blsck referred to death as a "her" - completely understood why, but I would never do this myself and found it odd constantly referring to death as a female and a little bizarre. But aside for this, Black is obviously an expert in her field and her vast knowledgeable and experience is great to read about.
