I have no personal experience of Alzheimer's but Moore's portrayal of an intelligent woman losing her words, forgetting where rooms are in her own home and even not recognising one of her daughters was utterly heartbreaking.
I believe there could've been a far better ending than Kirsten Stewart's character reading a monologue from a play. I am completely unfamiliar with the play "Angels in America" and to me it seemed like they only chucked that in to get the line "Nothing's lost for ever" in. After an intense and unsettling ride through the movie the ending certainly let it down.

Nice local history book produced by residents for the millennium. My Grandma's family are from this village so lots of familiar names. Also a photo and some anecdotes from Grandma (Ida Bates, nee Hancock) were a nice touch from a personal perspective. There's also a photo of my great-great grandfather (although not noted in the text) and of 'Tink' Hancock, who would have been a great-great uncle. The section on the church was written by Phillip Nicholls, who is a cousin on another side of the family! Lots of interest for me here, as you can see.

Ragdoll by Daniel Cole had me griped from the very beginning, if this was a series I would have binge watched from the pilot.

Cole has created two fantastic protagonist characters, with a realistic working and personal relationship. I was actually interested in what they were doing and indeed finding out more if their back stories. Which come delves into quite well.

The main story was cleverly set out, lots of twists to keep the reader guessing and the description of the details were astounding. I am eagerly awaiting the follow up book by Cole.

Bloody Brilliant Documentary...
Steve Mitchell has captured a wonderful piece of work revolving around one of cinemas greatest pieces of work as Mitchell takes us from the beginnings of Cohens career on TV in the 60s to his prolific work on Blaxsploitaion through the 70s and 80s to writing one of my favorites of the 90s (Phone Booth) by tackling each project one by one. We hear some really interesting stories from some of the guys who knew him best and get a real good personal loving look at Larry Cohen and his long spanning career.

Great time waster
I believe Instagram is great to follow the lives of people you don't always see or celebrities life's. Yes it is a very edited view of people's lives but it is great to sit and lose your time to. It's also great to be able to search different tags that can relate to your life more. This then makes it more personal to you. It's an easy to follow app as well. The only thing it doesn't really show clearly is how long ago that picture was posted so you could be looking at pictures that are days old.

Just Because
The final book in the MILA trilogy. Great series overall for young adults. Fair warning though the ending is both touching and sad, defiantly worth the time it takes to read it.

MILA knows who and what she is but feels she needs to redeem herself for things done in her past. She makes it her personal goal to set out and stop General Holland once and for all. Sadly she has to make many tough decisions in the process of protecting the world from dangers no one knows are there, really how dangerous can an American teenager be?
