Complex, intricate, the relations of three people living in isolation
A beautifully complex and deep novel portraying a young Jewish man living in isolation with a widow and her father-in-law. The relationship between the three characters is intriguing, using dialogue to reveal the political turmoil at the founding of Israel as a state. At the same time, understanding how Jews are represented in Christianity. The house the story takes place in is almost an analogy of the separation of the Jewish community as a whole in this plot, with no friends but only suspicion of the outside and from the outside. An important novel for current times

The cast particularly, Eddie Redmayne as Newt scamander, Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore and Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald
Opening action sequence was cool.
Cgi was fantastic (1 more)
The world feels magical and the nostalga of being back in the wizarding world is always beautiful.
Grindelwald was underused considering it's called The crimes of grindelwald.
The plot was messy and sloppy. Too many flashback sequences including two back to back sequences that lasted 20 minutes (1 more)
The big plot twist/reveal at the end makes no sense from what i know from the Harry Potter lore.
Lack of Continuity
Action sequences weren't that impressive
A disappointing entry in the Harry Potter franchise

Noelle Winters does a good job creating a sense of suspense in [Remember Me]. The plot centers around Katy who's daughter was kidnapped three years ago. Suddenly the case is refreshed by a picture of her daughter being sent to her. The FBI sends Alex to liason with local law enforcement and the family on this case that her father originally worked. These two broken women find friendship and hope within each other.
The plot of this takes some unexpected twists. The romance is there but not the main focus. It was a really quick read with developed characters and a very steady pace.

When I started watching this series this morning, I didn't think I'd finish it in a day. But, I really wanted to know how everything shook out.
This docu-series made me sick to my stomach. There were so many victims, and the reaction from the church was disgusting, even more so to me since I'm Catholic(ish). Law enforcement really dropped the ball, rather, they never picked the ball up.
While this is billed as more of a who-dun-it regarding Sister Cathy's murder, it was more of an exposé. It was very unsatisfying in that regard. Though, I don't feel as though the murder will ever be solved.

Had to check this film out a few times and each time I kept finding more and more that I loved and didn't notice the first two viewings. This film sets up the story for the next three films. Depp is fantastic, Jude Law is phenomenal, and I'd say Eddie is better this time around! Baby Nifflers is always a big plus, and I would love to see Ilvermorny in the next few films, enough of Hogwash haha! Amazing film, I'm excited for the rest of the series!
