Honestly one of the worst horror movies I’ve seen.

The acting throughout was so bad, particularly considering how high profile this movie series is.

There were multiple mistakes throughout, but the worst was during the mental patients fall from the hospital window. The camera switches to his point of view and you see the view he would have falling face first onto the floor, however when the camera switches back to a normal view he is lying face up on the floor. So unless he bounced and turned over this is a badly glaring mistake.

There were so many ridiculous plot holes but some of the worst were:

No parent would encourage teenage kids to join them, with weapons, on a manhunt for a seemingly indestructible mass murderer. It just would not happen.

Laurie had a major stomach surgery, no way would she be able to get up and run around the hospital like she did, even on pain killers.

And where did Vanessa go when she got out of the car and Michael began killing her husband and the others in the car. She had a gun, got out of the car and Michael was on the roof grabbing through the windows so why didn’t she at least try to shoot him. He was attacking her husband. She just seemingly disappeared then reappeared when he had done some killing..

All in all a poor film that I came so close to walking out of. The only reason I didn’t was because my partner thought I was joking she. I said let’s go home.

A man called Ove was a very different kind of book for me. A 59 year old man, taking his life in a .... Different direction.... After the death of his wife 6 months prior and the loss of his job. I've finds that things keep getting in the way of his... Plans... Like a new neighbor who can't park a trailer, needs to borrow a ladder, falls off that ladder so that his wife and kids must ask I've for a ride to the hospital. This book takes an upbeat look at some very dark emotions, and how sometimes, its for the best that our plans don't work out, or get interrupted.

8/10 highly recommended, although it took me some time to really get into the book, by the end, I was crying at its beauty.

Wow. A very controversial topic that was tackled very well. This story is about Ruth Jefferson, a labor & delivery nurse at a hospital where she's worked for 20 years. One day at work, there is an incident that leaves her having to make a difficult decision and then the consequences afterward due to her decision. At the high level, this book is about racism. Jodi Picoult is known for conducting her own research and almost immersing herself in that research so that she can learn everything she can learn about the particular topic she's writing about. Her approach to this book is no different. She even wrote, in her "Author's Note" at the end of the book that in writing this book, it forced her to take a hard look at herself. I could not put this book down.

This was a great series to pass time. An easy viewing, full of comedic lines and dark humour. Some of which was relatable, however worth watching the series 'Children's Hospital' first, as Medical Police is a spin off from that series. To make sense of the series, as when I saw a Doctor dressed as as a weird clown, I couldn't make sense why. It wasn't very clear and I had to Google it to make sense of it. However I would highly recommend this series to have a laugh. I would consider this series similar to that of 'Scrubs'. The actors were great together and storyline although sometimes lengthy leading to a bore at times, it was also gripping and exciting, as well as hilarious!
