"I've watched and re-watched Simon Sinek’s Ted Talk and find his perspective inspiring. With the opening of The Surf Club Restaurant, La Calenda and soon TAK Room, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I can improve in my leadership role during a time of growth and change. Finding fulfillment in work is important for me and my team. Sinerk’s insight are endlessly illuminating."

Movie Favorite

"Milla Jovovich is in it. It’s another one of those ones that’s based on a true story, like The Mothman Prophecies. They use a lot of found footage in it — well not found footage, but like cop car cameras and things like that. This is one of those movies that, you know, it will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. It’s horrifying."

Movie Favorite

"Krush Groove is awesome because it has all the old hip-hop people that I like. You know, LL Cool J, Run-DMC, who I love, Fat Boys, Sheila E. One of my favorite scenes in any movie is in that movie when Run comes out and he’s like “We have a whole lot of superstars…” It just gives me goosebumps when I watch it."

Evil Dead II (1987)
1987 | Comedy, Horror

"Number five is Evil Dead 2. Mostly for the camera and the editing in that thing. The sheer kind of bravura, mad energy it had, you know. Like, when we get into our second act and the story starts picking up, we just wanted that energy, and we looked a lot at the way Raimi used the camera in that movie. It was almost cartoonish."

"The Thin Red Line is my favorite film, and that’s probably the film that had the most impact on me as a human being. I feel like it really rescued me from a depression and gave me a lot of faith in people. I just thought it was beautiful. I saw it when I was nineteen or twenty. I’m a huge fan of Terrence Malick’s work."

Uwe Boll recommended A Clockwork Orange (1971) in Movies (curated)

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
1971 | Crime, Sci-Fi

"A Clockwork Orange would be [on the list]. Clockwork Orange and Citizen Kane, because they’re both all-time favorites, and I think Orson Welles did with Citizen Kane so much interesting stuff for the year that he did it, what nobody else did before. The same with Kubrick for Clockwork Orange. They broke a lot of filmmaking rules and the subject matter is, for me, very interesting."

This is one of those books where you can read it so easily and quickly but at the same time not a lot seems to happen. Admittedly, that end bit has intrigued me with just who was the male voice on the end of that phone. One of two, possibly three, people. And since i have book 2 just waiting to go, I'm jumping straight into it.

As much as I can't put this series down at the minute, it's more a case of the will they/won't they/please for the love of God do something! variety than about Integrity getting to know her past and learning the truth about what happened with her father. Though, that part is starting to get a lot more important to me.

Off to start book 3!

I was glad to see Kit getting back to normal in this one, or as normal as she could be after the horror of what happened to her in the last book.

I like a lot of things about this series but there's still something that's not quite there, and I'm hoping it makes an appearance in the next couple of books.

Off to start book 4!

I'll admit it's been a while since I read book 1 and had forgotten a lot of what went on so for the first 55% or so I struggled. But then everything seemed to be kicked into high gear and it was action, action, action and I couldn't put it down.

That being said, I haven't decided yet whether to read book 3 or not.
