Movie Rating

I really liked this film. Not only the detail and the soundtrack, but the characters and the magic that just bleeds off the screen. I think Forest Whitaker was great, as always, and I loved the Madalen Mills - she was definitely the best part. She brought a liveliness to the film that I don't think could've been achieved without her.

I thought Ricky Martin playing Don Juan Diego was so funny and I would remember every once in awhile throughout the film and it would just make me laugh more and more.

I think the animation of this film is incredible. The backstory makes it all the more special. This film was a long time coming - so many years were poured into it to bring it to the screen and the care and detail shows through the whole movie. This one is a special one.

CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated We Don't Wanna Hear About It by The Sidemen in Music

Jul 11, 2019

Featuring bassist Maddie Jay of Maddie Jay and the pH Collective and drummer Jonah Summerfield, The Sidemen bring us back to patent leather, pivot-on-the-heel kind of 80s funk. There is a reference to Morris Day on their website bio and that is not wrong. The Sidemen are able to take influences from the age of glitter and wooden heels, and create something new; and maybe someone is putting their finger on a problem we have today:

“Does anyone know what I’ve done with myself?
We don’t want to hear about it...”
— The Sidemen

It's a nice thing, connecting with an audience on weirdness; in this world of digital media, it is everything. The Sidemen are able to keep in contact with their considerable fan base through the magic of internets; I am still trying to figure that out; I think there are tubes involved.

Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated Play Dead (Elise Sandburg book 1) in Books

Sep 6, 2019

Hooked from the start

No one is more familiar with Savannah's dark side than homicide detective and native resident Elise Sandburg. She's been haunted for years by her own mysterious past: she was abandoned as a baby in one of the city's ancient cemeteries, and it's rumored that she is the illegitimate daughter of an infamous Savannah root doctor. The local Gullah culture of voodoo and magic is one that few outsiders can understand, least of all Elise's new ...

<strong>Hooked</strong>

From the first chapter I was hooked. It's a great mix of mystery and thriller with it touching on the occult slightly. Anne is a new author for me and certainly one I can't wait to read more of.
The relationship dynamics are so well written from the angst of a strained mother daughter to the new troubled work relationships.
Definitely one of recommend.
