My Review of "Different for Girls"
Different for Girls is an odd little title that came out back in 1996. You'd never have guessed how progressive we were back in those times until you've seen this movie. Maybe it's just a cultural acceptance of the UK but this definitely doesn't feel like it could have been a movie made in North America in those times.

Memory
I know everyone has an opinion when it comes to what they enjoy watching. We also have expectations about certain movies, actors, and actresses. But, that being said, I don't think this movie got the love it deserved. Memory is a powerful story highlighting the inequalities that exist in society and how the poor and powerless become pawns in the hands of the rich and powerful. The law is served raw and undiluted to the first group while creating loopholes for the second to wiggle out and subvert the process. It also discusses terminal illness (Alzheimer's); politics; policing; child prostitution, social and financial inequality as well as other issues. We should give Liam Neeson his due. He is a gifted and experienced actor. In this movie, he is the central figure and his performance determines the movie's success or otherwise.

Review of 'Juniper & Thorn'
A gruesome curse. A city in upheaval. A monster with unquenchable appetites. Marlinchen and her two sisters live with their wizard father in a city shifting from magic to industry. As Oblya’s last true witches, she and her sisters are little more than a tourist trap as they treat their clients with archaic remedies and beguile them with nostalgic charm. Marlinchen spends her days divining secrets in exchange for rubles and trying to placate her tyrannical, xenophobic father, who keeps his daughters sequestered from the outside world. But at night, Marlinchen and her sisters sneak out to enjoy the city’s amenities and revel in its thrills, particularly the recently established ballet theater, where Marlinchen meets a dancer who quickly captures her heart. As Marlinchen’s late-night trysts grow more fervent and frequent, so does the threat of her father’s rage and magic. And while Oblya flourishes with culture and bustles with enterprise, a monster lurks in its midst, borne of intolerance and resentment and suffused with old-world power. Caught between history and progress and blood and desire, Marlinchen must draw upon her own magic to keep her city safe and find her place within it.

Georgia Rule - A Movie Review
Not sure, I have to check with Georgia if this is against the rules or not. Georgia Rule is a 2007 film. Sending her troubled daughter to live with her grandmother for the summer. Her grandmother has all kinds of rules. During the summer, a harmful secret is revealed, ruining trust amongst the family.

A Million Kisses in a Lifetime
My heart and my soul could not survive A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime. Crew and Wren are literally amazing, the slow build up of their relationship was one of the main things that couldn’t get me to put this book down. I devoured this book in one night, lost sleep over it, and I could reread it and still fall in love with each and every character. This read is one of those ones that ruins males in the real world, because they will never be the way Crew is but a girl can wish. And the spice? If you want all the spice, but just as much sweetness, this is your next read.

My Review of "Jurassic World"
Jurassic World came out back in 2015. It's hard to believe it's been that long since the first of the new trilogy game out. Watching the newest movie kind of rejuvenated my interest in this first outing. For the most part it is much the same as I remembered it back in the day.
