I love this movie. Watch it every couple of years. Harrison and Kelly are great. Keep your eyes open and you'll spot a young Vigo Morgenstern. If you haven't seen this movie, what is wrong with you? I actually didn't think it was great the first time I saw it. But then I watched it the second time and DVD and realized it is f-ing brilliant. Now it's one of my fave movies. I didn't hear very good things when it was in the theaters so I cancelled my plans to see it. After watching it on DVD, I so wish I had seen it in the theater. I was engaged and couldn't wait to find out the end. Want to see it again to see if it holds my attention as keenly now that I know the puzzle. I really wanted to like this movie. But it just didn't hold my attention through a lot of it. I did enjoy the ending. I think there might have been too much before we got to the robocop part. Which feels odd to say for me as I usually get mad when movies skip the important befor...

Blue Midnight Blue Mountain #1 Lanigan Clan Collection By: Tess Thompson Q&A with Tess Thompson What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? I've always been fascinated by the idea of searching for your long lost love, having known several people who reconnected with their first loves later in life. What happens when you find them? Are the feelings the same as when you saw them last? Is there a second chance for happiness? What was your favorite part of writing this book? I loved writing every part of this book! It's the first time I've written the narrative in first person and I enjoyed it immensely because I could really get inside Blythe's head and convey her most intimate thoughts along with the action of the story. What is your favorite line from your book? My favorite line is Blythe's description of her white minivan, nicknamed the "White Whale". In real life I have a white minivan, which I also affectionately refer to as the...

Enter to Win $15.00 eGift Card of Winners Choosing VEILED TARGET Veilers #1 Robin Bielman Released July 22nd, 2014 Never take Fate along on a date. The kiss goodnight could be deadly.

Especially when Hugh figures out he’s her next target and forces her into an inconvenient alliance that tests all the laws against their attraction. Now, with the l...

Had to watch since it had Jeremy Renner in it. Spoiler: Though I lost interest once he died. And I found her annoying through most of the movie. Very good. Daughter read the book for school and we watched the movie. She said it was pretty faithful to the book. Elijah Wood and John Cusack. Can't go wrong with that. And I really enjoyed the story and Elijah's performance. He does a lot with no dialogue. Can't decide if I like this one. I liked the performances, but well when you have zombies in a Sleeping Beauty story you can't really expect a lot. Effects and costumes were laughable. But again the actors did a lot with what they had and I couldn't turn it off. You have to watch just for the boombox scene. Plus, John Cusack is incredible as the slacker who falls in love with the smartest girl in town. Loved this as a teenager. It is a bizarre movie. But what Johnny Depp movie isn't bizarre. Please Mr. Jailor is my favorite scene and always wi...

Secrets of Hallstead House By: Amy M. Reade Kensington Q&A with Amy M. Reade What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? I was attending a three-night writing workshop at a local library and the assignment for the second night was to come up with an idea for a story. I decided first that I wanted to write a story about a nurse (I don’t know what made me pick a nurse!). She had to have a mystery to solve and a love interest along the way. In my head, all the action took place in the Thousand Islands of New York State, so there was never any question about the setting. And that’s how Secrets of Hallstead House was born. What was your favorite part of writing this book? My favorite part of Secrets, as well as the book I’ve written since then and the one I’m working on now, is trying to weave a story with believable characters, a setting that makes people want to visit the place I’m writing about, and suspenseful twists that keep readers turning t...

Here's what I've been watching.... Starts off typical, but goes on several loops and turns as the survivors try to survive and escape. Very good.  Typical Jason Statham. I enjoy him with kids. Not a huge fan of James Franco though. But I enjoyed the women actors. It started off with some promise. But the fact that you never do find out what is causing everyone to vanish was annoying. Mostly watching TV shows this week. So only three movies that I watched all the way through. What movies did you watch this week?

I've been watching lots of movies this week. Some really good. Some old favorites. And some not so good. Just as good as I remembered. Excellent cast, story, and pacing. Not as powerful as I remember it being, but still a very good movie. Early part of the movie was a little predictable for me, but did like the second half a lot more. Great movie! Excellent performances, script, and plot. Good movie. Was surprised by the very end. Wow. I was surprised at how good. Not a happy ending as can be expected in most Indie horror movies. I wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. Pretty good. I really like this one and the addition of Luna.
