Punchy Kicky Kung Fu Comedy at its best
An Absolute blast, A must watch in Brit Independent Punchy Kicky Kung FU Comedy's. Funny, Bold, Kick Ass, Inventive and a hell of a good way to spend an hour and 40. This movie gave me multiple eyegasms and is strong contender for my Top5 of 2018...
The core cast of seemingly random Misfits are firing on all cylinders with comedic gold but when its time for the action to kick in BritKick superstar in waiting Jean Paul Ly is there to say "Hold my Coat" in some of the best fight choreography I have seen in a Brit movie, so impressive you almost forget there is a comedy here then BOOM your back in the room with these likeable tools. Keep an eye out for Jean Paul, I recently watched Jailbreak on Netflix and damn he is gonna go far.

Mysterious and exciting
This book was slightly hard to get into at first. I found myself reading a bit then putting it down, not to return to it for a while. But one Spa day and I took this book with me. I realised I needed no distractions to get tucked into this book to understand it. Learning about famous real life cases and about criminal profiling was exciting for me, especially as I have an interest in psychology. This book explores the psychology of criminals, from early in their childhood: before committing crimes. We get to understand the patterns of behaviour that lead individuals to commit crime, and how the different patterns match specific crimes. In this book you will explore different theories of psychology and criminal behaviour, as well as read about the detectives that hunt these criminals down. After reading this book I then went on to watch the series on Netflix which was also done very well!

This week All the Bright Places was released on Netflix. Of course I watched it on the first night! I dont know if I built it up on my head, but I was a bit disappointed with the film in comparison to the book (but I suppose most book readers would say that about the following film). The acting was really good and I couldn't fault it. I feel like the feelings involved in both of the main characters issues weren't portrayed as well as they could have, I am very aware of how sensitive and difficult this could be. As always it is disappointing when small parts change: clocktower to bridge; tower to train carriage. I think if you were watching this not having read the book recently this would be a thoroughly enjoyable film. After all the cinegraphics were great. Some of the locations were beautiful. And the soundtrack was nice.

Your probably wondering why Tom Pelphrey is the subject heading of this review. Tom plays Wendy Byrd's brother Ben in season 3 of the Netflix show Ozark.
Toms performance in this series is what stood out to me. I enjoyed the series and I love what they did with the ending but Toms performance really shined. I recognized him from other things but could never put my finger on it. Regardless he was incredible, in my opinion, in this series. He basically had a whole episode dedicated to his character so I imagine the director picked up on this also. If I was suggesting this show to anyone I would lead with Toms performance. Unfortunately he is dead and so we won't see him again but I enjoyed it while it lasted. 9/10 for the first series since Breaking Bad that I have been able to get lost in.

"I’m going to be honest, since it’s just you and me here. I’d considered this my favorite film for many years. I hadn’t seen it in maybe five. When I came back to Los Angeles after our short hiatus on Jurassic World, I woke up early the first day of pre-production, still on Atlantic time. This movie was on Netflix, so I sat up in bed in a very nice hotel suite and watched it. The movie starts with a filmmaker in bed in a very nice hotel suite, who proceeds to remember his childhood and relationship with a great mentor and friend. I cried for two hours. Straight. It all unpacked right there and then. I got to our production office and my eyes were still red, my voice was gone. My producer, Pat Crowley, sat me down and asked if I’d been on a weekend bender. I hung my head and gave him the least embarrassing of the two available answers. “Yes.”"
