Movie Favorite

"Quadrophenia [and also] Control. Franc Roddam and Anton Corbijn’s films both accomplish the rarest thing; they capture the feeling in the music of the bands that they’re covering. To watch these two great movies is to geek out on cinematic portraits that remind you exactly why you first fell in love with a Townshend power chord, or discovered Ian Curtis’ bleak genius. Character to look for: Steph (Leslie Ash), the scene-stealer from Quadrophenia."

Movie Favorite

"And then, I love I Heart Huckabees. I think that might be my favorite comedy. And I know it’s weird, because every time I tell people that, they’re like, “Oh, I’ll have to see it.” And I say, “You know, you might not like it,” because it’s just so weird. But I loved it. I was obsessed with it when I first saw it; I watched it four times in one week."

Although the book was enjoyable, it lacked the excitement i thought it would have. It took me too long to finish the book, not being too eager to get back to reading it when i stopped the first time. I did love the setting and the people and the era it was set. It was just a shame it ended with me forcing myself to read it. It felt like it was dragging on.

I love the concept of this series. When I first read it, I had just watched Tim Burtons adaptation and in the same way, I was enthralled! Jace creates such a fantastical world where, despite the horrific murders, I want to be there along with the characters! Just take my word for it, the rest of the series just gets better and better too!
