My first cinema review in 7 months glad to be back okay not my first choice due to the film I was meant to see having technical issues but never mind there's always tomorrow
On to the movie itself people of certain age would remember watching old tom and Jerry cartoons including me and I used to love them as child always cheering on Jerry mouse trying to escape tom the cat and always exceeding.
So watching the movie brought memories of those Saturday mornings the humor the slapstick the pain on Tom's face as he's hit by some object or being chased by spike the bulldog all there. And there's the human acting not so great saving grace for me is chloe grace moretz who steals the show for me but there wasn't enough Ken jeong for me just needed a bit more then I would have been happy. Overall glad to be back In my local cineworld again

So, yeah, a lot less of the stuff that kids this age shouldn't really be getting up to. They're now 16 and the bluebloods met their match in Marnye this year. She took them down one by one, hitting them where it hurts the most and I was cheering her on almost every time. I was feeling the same things as her. Did this person need even more pain after the revenge she'd just meted out? It was so complicated at times. Like Marnye, I'm torn by all the guys now, too. They all seem into her but how does she choose? They've all hurt her in one way or another (apart from our Prince) and all feel bad about it.

I am getting hooked on this series and will now have to wait for book 3 and 4 to come out to see what ends up happening with this group of characters. All of their personal lives are complicated in some way so I hope the author gives them all a way to make everything right.

Cat Stevens recommended West Side Story by Stephen Sondheim in Music (curated)

6.9 (10 Ratings)
Album Favorite

"Westside Story was probably the biggest thing in my life as teenager walking along the streets of London, me and my friends were always trying to imitate the Jets’ dancing! My favourite songs? There were so many, but Leonard Bernstein was a genius and I just thought if I could be anybody, I would be a composer like Bernstein because his music was just so powerful and it also has a jazz tilt. He was doing things with music that I discovered much later. a lot of it was inspired by The Planets by Holst, with this jagged, staccato, kicking in the music with songs like ‘America’. And I thought, yeah I wanted to be in America, although I wanted to avoid all the gang fights! There were so many messages in that film and my all-time favourite song would probably be ‘Somewhere’. That reflects that ultimate aim in life to find a place away from the turmoil, pain and suffering to a place of peace, happiness"

At times intense, dark and painful.

My heart goes out to Hadi, our main character. He's a good guy with a special gift that could (and does!) cause him a lot of problems. He's already been through an awful experience and as the story unfolds things brighten up for him only to take a turn for the worse. He tries to help others and is generally really nice.
    James 'Falcon' is pretty decent too. He's a doer, cares deeply for his people (family/friends/Gen - his dog) and doesn't let things hold him back. A proper top bloke.
    Of the other characters......I'd say that 'Duck' (gotta love code names) is an ass-hat, definitely a bloke that deserves a good crack in the chin, minimum!!

Hellfire isn't for the faint hearted or sensitive folk....It's for an adult audience, with themes of death, drug use and pain. My heart started cracking throughout and the ending made sure I couldn't put it back together.

I'm so happy it's the start of a series!!
