A young woman's life is destroyed when she becomes a victim of an acid attack. The police seem to be getting nowhere with the investigation when a letter pops through her door. One of the gang members is remorseful and wants to meet. She starts secretly filming the gang members, with the inside knowledge of their whereabouts, and exposing their criminal activities. Her video becomes a documentary and her career soars as she exposes how easily it is to obtain materials for these attacks.

This story had so much potential. An amazing storyline and characters that could have been inspiring. But I feel like it wasn't written well and this let down the story. There were questions left unanswered. There were scenes that seemed out of place. And situations that seemed unrealistic and just forced idealism. The story felt unfinished and there was no ending for the main male character. And as petty as this may sound, the book needs another proof-reading. The male lead's name changes (it took me a while to figure out who this extra character was) and there are obvious word errors.

404. Downhill. It has terrible reviews. Then i read them, and a lot of them seem to be hating because it's a remake of a foreign film. I didn't see it. But I liked this one, an uncomfortable comedy drama. Looking like the perfect family, Billie and Pete take the kids skiing, yay! Everything is going great, until one day at breakfast, one of the controlled avalanches goes a little out of bounds a bit and feels like a bunch of people are about to buried alive. Spoiler alert... In those seconds were they realize the snow is about to smack em hard, Billie puts her arms around her children and ducks down to protect them, Pete on the other hand, grabs his cell phone and splits, after its all over, the initial shock wears off and now Billie is left with the knowledge of what hubby did in the face of danger. Movie goes on to follow both on now their separate vacations, leading to some funny though uncomfortable situations. Check it out!! Will Ferrell was great as the slowing imploding Pete, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus was great as Billie trying to keep shit together! Filmbufftim on FB
