Movie Favorite Watch

"I’m going to go with Raging Bull. I love Raging Bull. That’s another one I saw at a young age, and I didn’t love it at first. I didn’t know what to think of it. I was like, “This isn’t Rocky.” [Laughs] I was compelled and disturbed by what it was doing, stuff I didn’t get at the time. But that movie struck me at my core. I didn’t know if I liked it, but then I had to come back to it, and then I became obsessed with it and his whole career. It’s very hard to pick a favorite movie of his. Raging Bull is one I go back to, and there’s something between the expressionistic filmmaking of those boxing matches. There’s just a neo-realism in the dynamic between him, his brother, and his wife. It’s really powerful and incredibly inspiring."

Book Rating
To say this seemed like a love it or hate it book, I'm one who doesn't lean either way. I liked it but I didn't love it.

The first bit bored me, the middle bit was interesting and the end was a bit of a disappointment but considering the second part takes up most of the book, I'm giving it three stars.

I didn't like Clary either, to me she came across as really annoying and whiney--maybe it was her age--while I liked Jace from the start. Isabelle took a bit of warming up to and Alec never really said much but his actions spoke well enough for him.

It took me a long time to read this which is unusual for me with books, I normally devour them in a day or two and this took me a good weeks worth of reading or so.
