"This was a really important movie for me as a teenager. It was a movie I could have fun with, that I thought was a piece of art and that I thought was doing something modern that had to do with my life. Cinema until then, the ones I really appreciated were done by guys that lived in a different reality from mine and were talking about something in the past that had connections with what I was living but I would have to make an effort to be part of the story and make it work for my reality. With the Coen brothers I thought I was looking at something which was an idea from the day before, you know, and also the commitment they had to their point of view was amazing. I felt excited and it was the perfect film to fall in love with when I was young."

"This one isn’t a high school movie, but more a college-age movie. It’s called Mazes and Monsters and it stars Tom Hanks. It’s about the dangers of role-playing games, and if you play these role-playing games, you’ll lose touch with reality. Tom Hanks is a kid who gets too into their version of Dungeons and Dragons, which they call Mazes and Monsters. He loses touch with reality and thinks he really is on the quest, and disappears into New York City. His friends have to try and find him. It’s definitely worth checking out if you can find it. It might be one of those movies that just disappeared. I think it was a made-for-TV movie, but it’s always affected me. I saw it when I was a kid on the Saturday afternoon matinee movie, and it just has this ending that is so bleak that I’ll never forget."

Secrets ( Destine Academy book 3)
By Sara Snow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After narrowly escaping death and finally unlocking her key, Caroline starts to feel as if she belongs at Destine Academy

...but she discovers that she has only just scratched the surface of the secrets that hold the key to finding her family in the third volume of the intriguing new Destine Academy series.


Sixteen-year-old Caroline is just starting to understand her new reality, a reality in which she finally unlocked her key, but is NO CLOSER to finding her missing mother and brother. With her Aunt Marguerite deliberately keeping her in the dark, Caroline must take matters into her own hands to find out all she can about Tempeste Barrere and the Entiere

I’m beginning to love this series! In such short space of time The author gets so much packed in. The story is heating up and the characters are really well written.

A decent action film set at the end of the Iraq war. Three soldiers learn the location of some stolen Kuwaiti gold and plan to help themselves. On their mission they encounter the harsh reality of the current state of the country.
It has a fine cast and is well made, without feeling like a hollywood blockbuster. It has the right mix of action and drama, even a bit of humour too.

Polly Pepper has gotten a job on the next great reality show as a judge. But when another judge is murdered, Polly suddenly finds herself with a whole lot of suspects. The characters and plot are delightfully over the top in an "only in Hollywood" way. Wacky but lots of fun.
