A cool MTV style movie about biker gangs. A bit like Fast and Furious but on 2 wheels instead. It has a cool, young cast, thumping soundtrack and some good chase scenes. Slightly over do the SFX in some scenes getting way beyond reality but overall an enjoyable action film.

The sad truth is that the trailers lied ... By that I mean the trailers had us believing this was gonna be a really great film, in reality the best thing about the film was the trailers for it. I found myself bored and found the acting subpar and lacking. Sorely disappointed

"From shell shock in World War I to childhood sexual abuse today, the reality of trauma has been denied. But as this indispensable book makes clear, ‘Remembering and telling the truth about terrible events are prerequisites both for the restoration of the social order and for the healing of individual victims.'"

Legion is a master class in how to write characters who can break reality and walk in people's minds.

Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
2002 | Horror
Introducing reality TV star Michael Myers!
Some people were turned off by the different style and almost humorous take on the ongoing Michael saga, but I thought it was a pleasant surprise.

Inject more young, fun actors like Busta Rhymes, Katee Sackhoff, Thomas Ian Nicholas and even Tyra Banks and what you have is a masterpiece of horror (not really, but at least something a little different).

Interesting idea to place a bunch of unknowns in Michael's childhood home as part of a reality show and watch the calamity ensue when bad things start to happen (and then the real Michael shows up).

Seems like I enjoyed more than most.

Busta rhymes kicks michael myers into a shitty remake
Contains spoilers, click to show
After H20, killed of micheal myers, the studio was like we need anethor film. So we got this. Jamie lee curtis gets killed off in thr first 5 minutes, so the next 85 minutes we folllow a jamie lee curtis rip-off, maybe not even that. Anyways what was popular back in 2002, reality t.v. shows, so we get people going into micheal myers house for dangertainment the reality tv show.

Busta rhymes is the best part and the worst part of this film. He kicks micheal myers and sends him off to rob zombie's remake. Which i will review. But this film fans should skip.

I could follow along fairly well being barely computer literate
odd format (0 more)
So, This is the first Kavenna book I've read and as a futuristic book that is heavy on computers and tech corporations. It's a bit out of my comfort zone. It was a little hard to follow until I got used to the format and writing style. An interesting read that was fun and confounding as I just wanted to yell at a few characters to use some common sense.

This book takes place in both virtual reality and reality, sometimes I got lost on which was which but as a mystery it was fun and I enjoyed the ride.

Lady Macbeth (2017)
Lady Macbeth (2017)
2017 | Drama, International
I love this film, for its unexpectedness, for its perceptiveness, for how it never flinches in the face of the monstrous reality that our society has long condoned punching down.
Critic-Mary-Ann Johanson
Original Score- 5 out of 5

Fascinating look at the likely reality of a man who created a leading world religion. Helps one to understand many of the conflicting things about Islam and some of how the Middle East has wound up as it has. If you take nothing else from it, it is at least engagingly well written.
