Bruce willis
Watched today another of those Bruce willis films that could have been better with better script but it is better film with him in than some of those films he has done lately which feels like sometimes he was phoning in his performance nice sceney overall not bad Bruce performance but wanted more from him

When I found out that Lauren Graham wrote a book I was was so excited! I mean I love reading and I love Lauren Graham so it had to be amazing, right? From the moment I opened the book I knew I was right. Using her unique humor and personality she guided us through her life from a young age through The Gilmore Girls revival, giving us an inside look on getting into acting as well as working on her legend worthy shows.

It is nice to get an insider's perspective on an industry that has always interested me.

It is also nice to hear about the relationships she had with her co-workers and how they felt coming back without the Richard (Edward Herrmann).

Top-tier Marvel superhero movie is essentially diversity wish-fulfilment, revealing the existence of a secret sci-fi African kingdom with technology from Star Wars and soundtrack from The Lion King, but disguises this supremely well with solid script, first class action, and charismatic performances.

New king (and part-time superhero) must come to the throne, cope with parental issues, deal with old enemy and malevolent would-be usurper. Contains some very interesting and subversive ideas about culture and colonialism; doesn't overdo this, of course. Chadwick Boseman radiates nobility and cool as BP, Andy Serkis has too much fun as ridiculously evil villain Klaw, nice support from Martin Freeman as token white sidekick/comic relief (nice to see a bit of diversity in the casting, guys). Marvel continue to do very little wrong.

Finally Spider-man gets to be with MJ!
The beginning setting up with Mysterio (sic) felt just a little tedious. Could definitely tell that guy was fake, just a bit too 'nice'. Kept thinking he was a lame Mr Strange with a bowl on his head.
Peter's bravery even though he doesn't want to save the world just speaks to his character. I would love more sarcasm from Peter.
The action sequences were great, special effects great, views while he is swinging around great, a rollercoaster of fun with slow bits for conversation. Remembering Tony Stark was a nice touch. A perfectly good addition for Marvel fans.

YAY!

I've given this five stars for several reasons.

One: A reunion between Gin and Owen! (I'm so happy!!!)

Two: Sophia's backstory with the Grimes siblings played a huge part of this and it was nice to know--but not necessarily nice reading--how she came to be how she is.

Three: ...Two's enough, right?

Anyway. I'm so glad that Gin is the way she is, that everyone she classes as family--whether related or not--are treated rightly and if not, she will go out and get them justice.

As for book 10, I may put it off for a few books as from what I've read it delves into Gin's history and how she became The Spider. I'll come back to it at some point though :)

"I love pretty much everything Jarmusch does, and Down by Law is as good an introduction to his work as any of his many wonderful films. Now that I think about it, be sure to also check out Mystery Train and Night on Earth, probably before watching Down by Law because they’re a bit more accessible. Then come back to Down by Law and watch it again, and see how it gets better each time, and how you want to relive it like a nice dream. The world of Jim Jarmusch is a truly wonderful place, like a little corner café for cinema lovers to spend their days in. Bonus: Roberto Benigni is just incredibly delightful in Jarmusch films. Hey, Criterion, can we get a nice Ghost Dog set?"
