Fair play, Korea does not fuck about when it comes to zombies.
Train to Busan is a proper ride from start to finish. Its action is well paced, unrelenting when it's happening, and the quieter moments are brimming with wonderful character building, as well as some horribly tense scenes to keep things moving.
The zombies themselves are pretty full on, breaking their own bones to get where they need to go, not even eating people, just biting and moving on, spreading the disease, in all their scary ass rabid-ness.
The train setting that takes up the majority of the runtime is claustrophobic as hell, and gives the movie a unique feel.
Overall, Train to Busan is a film that proves that the zombie genre isn't as tired as one might think. Extra points for nearly making me cry during the homestretch.

Based on the memoir of the same name by Jeff Bauman and Bret Witter. It follows Bauman, who loses his legs in the Boston Marathon bombing and how he must adjust to his new life.
I feel terrible that I didn't really enjoy this film. The story itself is such a powerful one, and moments in it are truly moving, but the film starts to drag a bit in places. I'm going to have to look into the comparisons between the movie and what actually happened, it's difficult to tell what they created for the script to make the movie chug along and what was real.
There are some very talented actors in this one though, and as I said, some very moving moments. For me though I think it's not quite the break from reality that I look for in a film.

Jun 5, 2017
Megan Leavey succeeds is in the interactions between Mara and her canine co-star, Varco, the dog who plays Rex in the majority of shots. The film pays proper tribute to our soldiers, ALL of them, even the four-legged variety, in a subtle but moving way.

Great, fun read!
This is a really fun read, especial for a fan of the 80's. The main character is wonderful, as well as the side characters. The world created is completely fleshed out, inside and outside the game. Hopefully, the movie will do it justice. This is a book that would translate well to film.

Beautiful poignant storytelling across generations
Khaled Hosseini is one of the most amazing storytellers. His descriptions are moving and stunning told with such delicacy and subtlety, I shed many a tear reading it. Spanning across generations, the group of people all tied together experience both wonder and loss. The different narrators were great, understanding the importance of the culture through the language. Highly recommended.

Moving
I really enjoyed reading this book. I docked a smash point because it could be a tad slow at times. As others have said, it is a stressful read. It's one of those stories where you empathize with all the characters, even though they may make poor decisions. I liked the overall message and it was truly a book about love and forgiveness.
