Mike Wilder (20 KP) rated The Outsiders (1983) in Movies

With a cast to die for, The Outsiders is an incredible, hard hitting film. Portrayed in a believable and moving way, the cast includes Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, Diane Lane, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, C. Thomas Howell and Rob Lowe. But Ralph Macchio stands out in this film as Johnny Cade.
The direction of Francis Ford Coppola along with stunning performances from the cast bring this film to life. You feel for the characters as they take you on an emotional roller-coaster. You laugh along with them and share in the anguish and feel the pain they all go through just to survive. It is hard not to watch the film now without comparing other films the cast have made since this film. But for many of the cast, it is up there with the finest performances of their career.
The film is an adaption of a classic novel by S.E. Hinton who was just 16 when the novel was first published in 1967. It was also her first novel. The book has become part of school English curriculum
jmercado (1 KP) rated Bound by Honor (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, #1) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
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 .

Feb 22, 2018
Appealing leads and some soaringly beautiful love songs, but also whip-smart humour and social commentary in many of the other numbers, all superbly directed and choreographed. The darkening of the story into genuine tragedy is masterfully done. One of those transcendentally great films, especially on the big screen; the reason that we have a 10 on the scale.
