"Clearly we’ll start here. I hope it’s fairly obvious, my adoration of it, but I think that what it represents is probably bigger than the actual film itself. It was the first film I’d ever seen that was really something I could identify with, so it has a big place in my heart and my mind. But actually, the more you went back and looked at The Firm, the more you could pick very small holes in it, you know. Whereas, obviously, I could talk about The Godfather, but there’s nothing you could find wrong with that — it’s a true masterpiece. What was amazing about the original Firm was Gary Oldman, and the brutality and the Steadicam and stuff like that. Because it was the first film that ever really affected me, it’s always going to have a place in my heart.”"

An erotic ride....

Two for Tuesday is an erotic, very sensual story. Not only does it draw you into a heady sexual relationship but it highlights the differences between different social backgrounds.....Mel being a more country girl and Marcus being from the city.
    Colour is only really referred to once or so, the cheeky stereotype.....which Mel clears up by saying she's gone back and forth over that line haha.

I like both characters, though Marcus was a tad needy, but it didn't make it any less enjoyable......just more realistic.

Bit of a spoiler......it gives hope that things can happen/get back on track after years apart. Also that sexual chemistry can't always be worn out!!

Definitely an adult only read.....to be read alone as it gets pretty hot and very detailed!

KOA was a long, action-packed, unforgettable ending to a lengthy, yet beautiful, series of good versus evil, spiritual and emotional growth, loss and love and healing. I shed tears, I cursed, I smiled. It was a conclusion I was honestly too afraid to hope for and yet it was surrounded by so many unexpected moments. I put off reading this for so long, because the ending is so final and I knew I'd feel the loss deep inside - which I do. Regardless of the opportunity to always start the series over, this is truly goodbye. Sarah wrapped everything up beautifully. I am in awe of the depth of her writing and the intricacies each individual perspective beheld for the entirety of the story. I will not sin forget Aelin, Rowan, or their friends. Well done, Sarah.

I feel oddly compelled to give this 5 stars.

I think it's safe to say that she is well and truly broken and screwed, poor girl. She lost her brother, her parents, her lover, her best friends.

I liked Jesse from the beginning even if he was a pain in the arse. I know he was dealing with his grief but God, do you have to be so mean to her. And poor Alex, the girl never gets a break.

I just hope it picks up a bit in the next one (which I'm off to buy right now from Amazon!) and that she can get herself unbroken--if that's a word--and sort out a relationship with Jesse because even after all the crap they put each other through, I still want them to get together! (Hopeless romantic I am)

After watching The Lightning Thief I gave up hope in this movie series but I am a huge fan of the books so I watched this when it came out in theaters and it somehow managed to still disappoint me! I went in with the lowest expectations possible and it still seemed like a big disappointment. They attempted to fix things that fans were upset about in the first movie and I also felt like they knew that this was the last movie they could make in the series. As a way to finish off the series they then tried to combine parts of the other books and it just left huge plot holes and created a very confusing storyline. I would never recommend this and it is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Life After Beth is a take on an overcooked trope that actually finds a way to convince you to invest in the characters and story. A difficult task indeed.

Full disclosure, as a rule, I hate zombie movies. I think most of them are just awful, overdone hack jobs (no pun intended.)

There are, as with anything, some exceptions. This is one of them. The focus is never inherently on that element at all. The focus remains firmly on the character development throughout. The makers actually found a way to make the entire premise interesting, even though the base has been told a million times, usually poorly.

Love Aubrey Plaza. Love John C. Reilly. That was enough to convince me to give it a chance, and I'm actually thankful that I did. Perhaps there is hope for this burnt out genre after all.
