I thought this film was super interesting and very informative. You can tell, right off the bat, that there's definitely a bias but I don't think it's a bad thing. I think that, in general, it's very well known how awful the Bush administration was and how his decisions have continued to impact not only the United States but the world in general.

The military-industrial complex is horrendous and I think this is a good film to watch to understand why. I was shocked but unsurprised on some level that one of the soldiers said he would rather go to jail than go back to Iraq. The purpose of our being there was so beyond not okay so I sympathize and understand what he meant. I would love for Bush to sit down with every one of those families who lost people and explain to them why we were there in the first place. It didn't make sense then. It doesn't make sense now. Those men and women didn't have to die and the fact that they did, their blood is solely on Bush's hands.

I am enamored with this duo of what they find out. This book is set on the story of Tucker's grandfather. The story is so detailed. You will be pulled into and wanting to know why Tucker comes to ski but he being reckless.

Though the story behind Matthew Rider and his childhood it like pulling teeth from his grandson. The story is deep and you will want to find out why. How Matthew Ryder made the choices he makes. There seem to be secrets and what his father did.

If you are into genealogy and the history of family stories. This book has it. You will be wanting to turn the pages from the first one to the last one. You do not know until the end of the book how all the pieces come together. We also find out who Matthew Ryder is?

The book his written well. The book goes flips between the present day and the past. Though will the duo be able to help solve the family problems and or help Tucker to understand his past. Why is Tucker so intent to find Hidden Run?

Austin Garrick recommended M (Movie) (1931) in Movies (curated)

"Had to at least include one from the master Hitchcock. Being the huge De Palma fan that I am, it would be tough to not be a huge Hitchcock fan as well. Bronwyn loves Ingrid Bergman and was the person to introduce me to Notorious when we were younger. What I love about this film is that you get this sincere, Old Hollywood romantic chemistry between Bergman and Cary Grant, in addition to some classic Hitchcock greatness. We project films while we write and record, and this film played a lot during the making of our debut album. Fritz Lang is another one of the greats who I had to have on this list. I first discovered his films through Giorgio Moroder’s 1984 restoration of Metropolis, whose iconic image of the robot on the soundtrack and posters always intrigued me as a child, and once I eventually saw the film, it quickly became one of my all-time favorites. Most who have seen it, The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, and M will agree that Fritz Lang is one of the best to have ever done it, but perhaps no one film has earned him that reputation more than M."
