The Voices

So this was a super creepy movie, not foreign but I wanted to talk about it anyway. Great actors, well done, super creepy. It’s dark humor, but a bit too dark for me. If you like really dark, dark comedy and don’t mind a lot of cussing, and gory moments then you might want to check it out. I did learn never ever let the cat guide your actions cause they are amoral assholes.

The Kingman

  I tried not to do spoilers, but just in case, this is your spoiler warning.       Colin Firth as a bad ass in a suit. Samuel L Jackson as a bad guy with a lisp. And a sexy assassin with two prostatic legs which turn into swords. Of course I have to watch this movie. Did I mention Colin Firth?? *swoons* Ass kicking, suits, British accents, Samuel being awesome I loved it. I laughed and cheered and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Until the last fifteen or so minutes of the...

Help Opinions Needed and Cover Reveal!!!!

Hey, everyone, I am in need on your wisdom and help because writing book blurbs is harder than writing the book itself. If you could look these over and let me know which one you like more and make suggestions and/or corrections that would be awesome. 1. While traveling through South America, fifteen-year-old Sapphire does her best to juggle homework, her new family, and critical magical creatures. Performing with the Cirque du Feu Magique is a cover for her real mission: opening portals to...

When Geeks Gather

My daughter and I went to the Pitch Perfect Sing-a-Long at the Loft, and it was awesome. No it was aca-awesome.   Going to the movies is fun, not only because of the big screen, but also because of the energy in the room. Everyone experiencing similar feelings at the same time—it ties you together for a brief moment.   Now amplify that by bringing us together for a movie we love and have watched several times AND remove the need to be quiet. Cheering when each new character comes on...

The Yin/Yang of Life

So someone posted a video of these kids break dancing on a subway train. They were amazing and you could see the joy of the other passengers increase.   It made me wonder about how life balances itself.   Because my experience with subways is via the media, I see them as scary places. Places where people get mugged, molested, and sometimes killed. Places where you are trapped and have no hope for escape.   But then I hit YouTube and found heroes, and heroines, and people making...

I Am The Ill Intent

SPOILER ALERT I shall do my best to keep things vague, but there might be small spoilers for Daredevil. I spent this month’s weekend off watching the new Netflix series Marvel’s Daredevil. First, Netflix is awesome because they put up the whole series at once so you don’t have to wait. Ah, binge watching at its finest.   Second this is an awesome show.   I love the characters, but the villains were truly wonderful. They were well rounded. You found out so much about their background....
