Marisa Silver (author of Mary Coin) brings us a story that blends fantasy with reality to create a hybrid fable of the weird and the wonderful, of loss and of love and so much more. Find out why this gets a full five stars in my review of this book here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/08/14/a-fantastical-fable/

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated The Disaster Artist (2017) in Movies

Aspiring actor Greg Sestero meets a mysterious man named Tommy Wiseau in his acting classes with Jean Shelton. Hoping to achieve Hollywood stardom, Sestero moves to Los Angeles and signs on to appear in his buddy's project. Financed with his own money, Wiseau writes, directs and stars in "The Room," a critically maligned movie that becomes a cult classic.
There isn't a lot to say about this one. I mainly only went to see it because some people were raving about it. This for me is skirting the fine line of "based on a true story" and reality TV. I cannot watch reality TV, I find it physically distressing watching anything that awkward. That being said, I don't feel like I was missing out on much in this film, and no one else in the cinema seemed to be enjoying it either.

On the Air. Unaware.
"On the Air. Unaware".
Peter Weir's incredibly prescient satire drama (released, as it was, even pre Big Brother), in which Jim Carrey shows he can actually act, by putting in - for me - what is probably his best performance as Truman Burbank, the unwitting and unknowing star of a 24/7 reality TV show that is now in its 30th year and that is viewed by millions around the globe.
In effect, a bit of an update on the old Descartes 'how do we know what is real?' question: as far as Truman is concerned, this *is* reality, until a series of accidents and events leads him to start to question everything and everyone in his life, leading to the emotional finale (does he ever meet the girl again? What comes next for the world's most recognizable man?).

This is my go to app. I have a lot of family around the world and when you can't travel this helps keep up with family and friends. I can see pics and videos and really feel like I can be there when in reality I'm not. I have watched people from relationships, kids grow up, and all kinds of stuff on here. Love it!!!

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated A Kiss at Midnight (Fairy Tales, #1) in Books
Jul 12, 2018
This was a really cute novel. I really enjoyed reading it. It was predictable but that is to be expected when a novel is based off of a fairy tale. I found myself engrossed in this novel. It was a nice escape from reality. I will definitely look into reading more novels by this author. The writing was spectacular, and it was very imaginative.

It sheds light on a topic we all like to pretend doesn't exist. (1 more)
It was more realistic and heartfelt than the stupid TV show
It's A Book!
If read on it's own without ever watching or knowing about the series, it's a beautiful tale of teen anguish, truth, and reality surrounding a topic that deserves more attention.
