Gorily average
You can't beat a good old B movie, and VFW certainly has the makings of one, however it's a shame that it's nothing we haven't seen before.

This has a great B movie feel throughout, from the atmospheric soundtrack to the retro and dark cinematography, as well as the ridiculous over the top gore (which is by far the best thing about this film). It has a seriously good old school cast and watching them in action is a lot of fun. This has such a Hobo with a Shotgun vibe that I'm surprised that it hasn't been made by the same people. The biggest problem with this is the plot and the whole idea in general. Films like this have been done so many times before and even with all the gore thrown in it's nothing original. But I suppose overall it is still a fairly entertaining romp with some laugh out loud deaths.

Back in Time
Girl: "OMG, hey!! I haven't seen you for so long"

Me: "Hi, I know its been a while"

Girl: "You look so different! You weren't like this before, you've changed..."

This is a conversation I have so many times with old school friends, family members who haven't seen me for a while or general passers-by that like to give me their opinions. I always find that statement odd "you've changed". Like I should remain the same two-dimensional person my entire life. When people tell me I've changed, I usually reply with "I hope so!"

Reminiscent of Grimm Fairytales
Favourite book read in 2018 (so far!)
The first thing I have to say about this book is wow. I went into it not knowing what to expect but was completely blown away by the storyline of Vasya as she navigates becoming a young woman who is powerful, in a time when women were not; whilst using old school magic to try to help her people.
The Russian folklore gives this book a modern fairytale feel, however the darkness echoes that of the original Grimm Fairytales.
Altogether, this is a very well written epic, not to be missed, and that I very much enjoyed.

Get my bitchy out
As a stay at home mom with very few friends in the real world, I tend to find escape in Netflix original programming. Litchfield minimum security has made my nap time much more interesting since I can get involved in someone else's drama and not pick petty fights with the grocery store clerk. I hate all those women, but I seriously cant live without them now. This is the perfect show of your maturity is beyond high school and you've watched all the episodes of friends

Quick Read
* I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*
This book is written in a style that reminds me of old gothic literature. I felt much the same way reading it as I felt when I read a Rose for Emily back in high school. The story is dark and disturbing, and you can't help but wonder what happens next. Some parts were a bit confusing, but everything is explained in the end. Really it was an pretty good book, the material was just heavier than what I normally enjoy. I do think fans of this style will love the story.
