Movie Rating
A very good film that feels similar in many ways to "Stand by me". Great acting from the young cast as a group of kids plan to get revenge on a bully. Though their attitudes change over the day, will they go through with it and with what repercussions?
The film handles the whole bully situaition well and will remind a lot of people how tough life can be as a young kid growing up and going through school.

Good cast overall
Not a lot of action (0 more)
Another apocalyptic tale similar to a quiet place, The Happening, The Mist. An unseen force drives people to commit suicide unless you can keep your eyes covered. Sounds like a slightly silly premise but the quality of the actors rise this above average. It could do with a bit more action but it will draw you in nevertheless. If you like these sort of films mentioned you'll like this.

Remastered nostalgia
I played these games a lot as a kid and have been anxiously awaiting the remastered release for xbox. I was a little frustrated that the release date was pushed back multiple times but that's beside the point. Just as fun as I remember with newly touched up graphics. Each game adds PM to the last for hours and hours of fun. For all three games, the price is a steal.

Sick
If you like a little camp, a little porn, and a lot of horror you have to see this movie grindhouse cult film. Dyanne Thorne is incredible but the premise of the movie is a laugh. I am glad i found this on a free movie streaming site. I would have not paid to see this.
 If you choose to watch this I recommendation is to have a few drinks and then watch. I would skip this movie.

The part of the film that made me cry. I don't want to cry in front of my kids. (0 more)
Worth the hype
A lot of people said this was great but I get dubious of hype but this lives up to it. With animation like the illustrations from a children's book, Klaus is a touching, heartwarming and even sometimes magically sad story. This is quickly going to become a firm Christmas favorite.

I received a copy of A Deadly Feast from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Hayley is excited about her upcoming wedding when a woman tragically dies on a food tour. She also has to worry about her broken down future houseboat and her future husband's career.

It's a lot. But thankfully, not too much. Hayley wants to clear the name of a chef and goes about doing so.

I really, really liked Miss Gloria

There was a lot of information in this volume, and not much action. Therefore, it was one of those in between volumes that you need to further the story. It wasn't very exciting, though. So many new characters were added in the last few volumes that, coupled with the time changes and flashbacks, it's sometimes confusing to tell who people are immediately. All in all, it was fine. Necessary. Though, definitely not a volume of exciting action.
  
Last Flag Flying (2017)
Last Flag Flying (2017)
2017 | Comedy, Drama
So happy to have finally gotten around to watching this as it never hit local theater here. Last Flag Flying is one of the best movies I've watched recently. Laughed until I cried, then cried a lil more. The natural chemistry between Carell, Cranston, and Fishburne is wonderful and takes this beautifully written story to the next level. Brought back a lot of memories for me too for different reasons. Last Flag Flying should be your next movie playing.

READ. THIS. NOW.
Wow. I read a lot of books and very few have the ability to stick around and make me think about it for days on end. Vicious is that book. Being able to love and hate both Eli and Victor simultaneously is a task that only VE Schwab could accomplish. The plot was so fast paced that I genuinely couldn't put the book down. READ IT NOW!

I have read the majority of Jodi Picoult books. She knows how to write a good controversial book, making you see both sides to the story. The characters, in their own rights, are very likeable. My sister's keeper is a very powerful write, and it makes you realise just how fragile life can be. The film with Cameron Diaz was a bit poor, and there was a lot that was missing, and added that was not in the book.
