Great revenge action film
This is a very good revenge action film from the director of Saw, spot the Jigsaw face! The story as with a lot of these films is a bit over the top. Kevin Bacon starts as a calm mild mannered white collar worker who suddenly changes into a raw hate filled father after the death of his son. Pretty handy with a range of guns all of a sudden as well. Apart from that the film is great and has plenty of decent action scenes and some great performances from the two lead characters.

Convenience Store Woman is a weird little novel. Granted, Americans have a very different culture than the Japanese when it comes to marriage and jobs. This story follows a strange woman during her years of working at a convenience store, which she loves and does well at. However, the way she is viewed puts stress and panic on her to fit in with society. The story, itself, is quirky, but the main character is an odd duck, herself. Plus, if you're the type of reader that loves to hate characters, this book definitely has one for you!

"Okay, last one — Apocalypse Now. That movie was so stunning and so ahead of its time. I don’t know, it’s probably a story like Blade Runner, because there are so many things that happened on it. And I didn’t even see the longer version. I think there’s a version that’s like three or four hours long. It’s such a mixed feeling of painful darkness — it’s not surprising with Heart of Darkness, to quote that — and of course Brando, he was always my big love/hate hero in acting; his speech, “The horror, the horror,” it’s just killer, you know?"

"I hate to say it, but it’s one that I starred in — is Independence Day. I was so happy about that film, because, first of all, it grossed close to $1 billion worldwide back in the day, and it really was a great film. To see Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum — to see an African-American and a Jewish guy save the world — I just love that. It was so cool. And the fact that I was a stripper that got to save the First Lady. It just had so many elements of people that normally don’t become people’s heroes save the world."

Loved this, and much like all the other reviews I have read, I struggled to put it down.

For me, Blake Crouch is breathing life back into the genre, his storytelling is remarkable, and I cannot comprehend how he weaves such fantastical 'worlds' into single books.

There is too much to unpack in a review, and I would hate to say anything to spoil the experience of the story, so please do go ahead and enjoy it for yourself!
Set some time aside though as it *will* grab you quickly, and draw you in with barely any time to breath.

As excited as I was for an "Art of the movies" book(retroactively, maybe I should've read the synopsis more carefully.),this is NOT that book. However, it still hosts a treasure trove of knowledge once you accept that. It's still super fascinating to read all about the creation of an interconnected movie franchise, because rather you love or hate Marvel movies, there's just no denying that what they've accomplished is nothing short of magic.
