Zoe Saldana recommended The Kid (1921) in Movies (curated)

 
The Kid (1921)
The Kid (1921)
1921 | Classics, Comedy, Drama

"For Charlie Chaplin to have the kid be this thing that kind of gives him purpose and some kind of integrity, I think that was great. It’s a very emotional and melodramatic subject and only someone like Charlie Chaplin was able to make it whimsical and funny, but also so heartfelt and sincere. So I’ve always loved The Kid. Absolute genius. I feel like he wouldn’t have gotten there if not for his vaudeville years. Every now and then I like to read up on his life as a teenager before he got to Hollywood, and the fact that he came from nothing. He came into an empire with talent. He had nothing and he had nothing to lose, therefore he gave it all. I was watching Benny and Joon last week and what Johnny Depp was doing reminded me of the essence of Chaplin: he was so light but you understood that deep down in inside of him there was this really profound and emotional man. I feel like Charlie did that with a lot of his characters."

The third in the series concentrates on second chances, which I love. Vin made a decision twenty years ago that he has regretted ever since. Now he has a chance to put it right, and maybe get his very own HEA.

This series is a like a warm blanket you pull over to snuggle down. The characters are familiar and the new ones quickly become favourites. The humour and love are rampant and are the mainstay of the book, which makes it wonderful for a sappy romantic like myself.

I loved how Lori intertwined the new and old storylines, bringing about a hot and steamy romance, whilst getting updates on stories already told, preparing for new stories and don't forget, battling Mother Nature.

With some definite smokin' scenes, this is guaranteed to warm you up. Definitely recommended.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Back to the Future (1985) in Movies

OK, I’ve seen the film over and over again at home on Blu-ray, but nothing can match the feeling you get from seeing it on the big screen, even the opening sequence with the clocks ticking from all around you in the cinema, being able to read the newspaper clippings on the walls and so much more detail that you don’t really pick up on at home.

So by now, you all know the story of Back to the Future if you don’t where the heck have you been! But it all comes down to Doc Brown inventing the time machine from a DeLorean, even Marty is shocked by that one, “Wait a minute, Doc. Ah… Are you telling me you built a time machine… out of a DeLorean?”, in a twist of fate Marty is sent back to 1955 where he has to find the Doc to get back to the future, but things go wrong when Marty changes the outcome of time by accidentally coming between his mother and fathers first meeting.

Drop shot ( Myron Bolitar book 2)
By Harlan Coben
⭐️⭐️⭐️

The young woman was shot dead in cold blood, dropped outside the stadium, in front of a stand selling Moet for USD 7.50 a glass. Once her tennis career had skyrocketed. Now, at the height of the US Open, the headlines were being made by another young player from the wrong side of the tracks. When Myron Bolitar investigates the killing he uncovers a connection between the two players and a six year old murder at an exclusive club. Suddenly Myron is in over his head. And with a dirty US senator, a jealous mother and the mob all drawn into the case, he finds himself playing the most dangerous game of all ...

It was ok I liked the main character and the story was good if a little predictable. But overall it was an ok read I’ll continue with e the series and the author as I’ve heard good things about his other books.

So, confession time first.

I picked this up recently, started reading it, got myself a bit lost and then found out I had missed a series in-between (collected in Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters).

Back I went, picked that up, and put his on hold to read that entry.

This now makes a bit more sense!

It also follows on more from the previous collection, with this being a compilation of issues 20-25 of the main-line Star Wars series, and with this bringing to a close the story of Imperial Commander Commander Ellian Zahra.

There's also an attempt to 'bring-in' characters from other Star Wars media spin-offs: most noticeably, Qi'Ra from the film 'Solo' but also Poe Dameron's parents. Final issue in the collection (issue #25) has nothing to do with the main-line characters (Luke, Leia, Han, etc) but is instead a compilation of 4 mini-stories starring (1) Obi-Wan and Anakin, pre RotS (2)Darth Vader (3)Kylo Ren and (4) Poe Dameron.
