Full disclosure: I would pay to listen to Kevin Costner read the dictionary.
With that being said, what an exceptional film. Told from the point of view of a family's dog, Enzo. Enzo was brought home by Denny before there even was a family. Through Enzo's eyes we see Denny fall in love and start a family of his own all while pursuing his dream of driving a race car professionally.
Amanda Seyfried and Milo Ventimiglia are both wonderful in their respective roles but at the end of the day Kevin Costner truly stole the show (pun intented) and made the movie as excellent as it is. Amazingly, you obviously never see him on screen, but his presence remains the largest of all.
Give this a watch and make sure that you have a hankie handy. Seriously.

The Definition of Insanity
The Lighthouse- is a psychological twisted film. What is one's sanity? How far can one's sanity go? How long can you stand one's sanity? All those questions and more, the Lighthouse is one twisted movie that will leave you questioning your own sanity. If you were stuck on a island inside a lighthouse with one person, would you trust that person? Whould you two start to go insane? I just love the concept and both Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe do a excellent job.
The Plot: Two lighthouse keepers try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.
The film was shot in black-and-white with a nearly square 1.19:1 aspect ratio. Which makes it more intresting.
The Lighthouse is a must see horror film.

Rolling Stone's 392nd greatest album of all time
This album should really have been titled "That Will Do". It really is a half-hearted slap in the face to the fans waiting on the band's last album. They had clearly given up by this point and hashed together some songs quite quickly and with scant regard to quality. Yes Let It Be and Get Back are excellent songs, but the fact is Lennon and McCartney could toss out songs like that by the dozen. The rest of the album is truly dreadful and half-hearted. Rolling Stone themselves said so at the time, giving it 3 stars (out of 5), so to include it as one of the greatest albums of all time is quite insulting to everyone else not included (and those towards the bottom of the list).

Not a great villian (1 more)
Story is not as good as the first film
Not Wonderful, but good
So finally available on Sky Cinema, missed this at the cinema due to lock down. I had high hopes after the first film was excellent and more like some of the better Marvel films. Often DC struggle to match them.
This was a fun film, I enjoyed the '84 setting there are a few good action scenes. Also Kristen Wiig had a fun character.
However it's a little way short of the first film. The villain wasn't that interesting, with a weak show down and the overall story wasn't as interesting. Some of the Sfx weren't up to the standard of the first film either. So not bad as an action film but not on a level with the original film.

This was a fun read and something a little different to the usual murder/mystery and whilst there are times when I found it a little immature - surprising really as the main character is in her 30's - overall, I quite enjoyed it.
The main characters of Claire, Sophie, Basher and Alex are an excellent eclectic group of people (and a ghost!) and I found their friendship was really well developed and felt authentic; the other characters ... not so much; they were a little stereotypical which was unfortunate. The mystery element was intriguing but the pace was a little slow.
Overall, a pretty good read although it may appeal to a more younger audience than me, i.e., under 30's!
Thanks to Atlantic Books, Corvus and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Grave Expectations.
